"Are dividends the key for tech stocks?"

Ignoring the fact that most tech stocks operate at a severe loss because the end goal is to get bought out by the big conglomerates and/or monopolize their niche.

Well yeah, google can do it, but the article was asking if it was the route for tech in general.

They bribe the commissioners on CPUC, who are the only people empowered to regulate their monopoly.

Or do you mean what excuses do they make? The usual, lingering supply chain problems, inflation (lol), wildfire expenses, etc. etc.

humblebragging about how your meme stock popped to the tune of one hundred thousand American dollars and then giving someone poo poo because they can afford the outrageous expense of "buying a car" is hilarious

You're thinking of a different poster lol I don't live in san diego and replacing my wife's versa would be like 20k we're not talking a fortune here, less than 3 years of the average modern car payment. Which is why I was replying to someone who's spouse was jonesin for a new ride as it seems insane to me to do that just willy nilly like getting a new shirt.

also hearty lol reminder that chipootle (and probably most places) give you less food if you order online/gig than inperson, which is good imo. shorting those appers and gig delivery consumers is praxis.
