Sooooo that gives us how long, exactly, until we dive nose first into a huge world wide recession?
Remove the rich
Nobody should be allowed to be a billionaire, put max caps on netwoths. Anything over 10-20 million should go 100% to tax
We don’t let individuals own nuclear weapons. We shouldn’t allow individuals to wield financial weapons.
Idk how this doesn’t make more sense to people. Eradicate Billionares worldwide, not just one country. Nobody should starve when Robotics are doing all of the work.

i hate peter thiel but i also hate nvidia and tesla so i hope this ends out somehow being bad for everyone
My bet is that he’s trying to start a panic in the markets. That way he can clean up on a short.
I would say I am fairly sure its some kind of afinancial crime to uh, short a company you have a material position in…
But we live in ‘interesting times’, so… who knows!
… Maybe he had an ‘interesting chat’ recently, with Michael Burry.
That would be ‘funny’.
I think it’s cute you believe that we live in a world where financial crimes are actually prosecuted.
I remember Enron being prosecuted, we did at one point at least kind of pretend to give a shit.
But uh… yeah…
Oh, it will. Bad for everyone human.
It will end badly for us.
The best case, I think, is for Nvidia and Tesla to do well in the short term (next 6 months or so) and then crash. That way Thiel and most people following his investment advice get to eat it, but the bubble doesn’t stay propped up for too long.
That means the peak is here. The insider of all insiders sold? Dump everything!
Imagine if he waits for people to panic and sell off and then buys back into the market.
In this case, I expect that the market is due to tank for real soon, so that would maybe be a stupid move, but it seems like in general someone could literally trade on the perception that they’re an insider (regardless of whether they have real inside information or not) to manipulate the market in their favor.
I imagine this should count as illegal stock market manipulation, but the government would be too toothless to prosecute it.

FTFY
The word is regulatory capture, and the game is upwards wealth transfer.
They’d probably encourage it
The government did it itself just way bigger.
lol. prosecuting one of the in crowd? They’re not toothless (in this case at least), they’re just protecting one of their own.
Yep.
I read this and actually said aloud “Oh Dear God.”
I mean, I’m a poor, I don’t have… a pension, investments, I’ll be lucky if my net worth ever exceeds the FDIC guaranteed $250k…
But uh yeah, yeah, if you have any uh, exposure to the stock market… uh, good luck!
Have fun realizing you were actually just barely less poor than me, this whole time.
Anyone hear a loud hissing sound?
Hilarious that at the end of this specific article, for me, an ad popped up advertising AI investing 😂 Jesus we are so fucked
Honestly, if someone is goi g to pick shit at random, I rather have AI do it for 5 bucks a month than abnaker for 200k a year.
If you’re going for chaos based investing, just buy a goldfish
I thought we decided to not post stonks crap in here. It‘s what completely ruined the technology community over at Reddit before the entire site was ruined.
When we are in the middle of a tech bubble and one of the richest and most connected men on earth decides to cash out, then that is not “stonks crap”, but relevant tech news. Some companies stock price rising by 2% is not news, but this? Yes.
The underlying story is the AI bubble that we all know will end badly. They are shoving lying and hallucinating AI on our devices and into our employment without consent. It’s going to come down, its a matter of when, not if.
Well if we gonna make a post every time some rich fucker sells tech stonks now it will quickly evolve into spam. I mean, we already know AI is overblown and we don‘t need to take a single glance at someone‘s portfolio to know that because this is a technology community and we‘re informed about what big tech keeps promising and underdelivering for 3 years straight.
AI bubble that we all know will end badly.
7 to 11X bigger than sub prime crash in 2008. NGL: watching Real Estate agents eating in soup kitchens was not a tragedy.
It’s a lot better than the practise of posting basically every news story because it tangentially involves a computer.

Hope he loses everything
I hope your 401K is diversified because this will bring down a lot with its fall.
If it isn’t diversified, then you’re not investing. You’re gambling.

When the MAG7 makes up half the S&P 500, its hard to get away from. Even if you somehow manage to avoid holding a big tech company (or a company that’s predicated on the spending of a Big Tech company), a downturn will force cascading sell-offs.
Does anyone 401k even let them choose what they want to invest in?
I have like 4 plans I can choose: Retire 2035, Retire 2045, Retire 2055, Retire 2065 and that’s it.
No options in the portal to do anything else. I can’t choose my stocks, any indexes, anything. The only other page is to change my contribution percent.
Yup, I have ~15 options. Basically:
- low cost S&P 500, US mid-cap fund, US small-cap fund, and total international funds (all under 0.10% ER)
- 1-2 actively managed options for each of the first bullet point with much higher fees
- 3 bond funds
- a cash fund
- a retirement fund (tons of bonds and cash)
I’m in a mix of the first bullet point.
401ks won’t let you pick specific stocks, generally speaking, but they should have more options than just target date funds. Most will at least have an S&P 500 fund and usually an international fund.
I have a 403(b) because I work at a university but yes we get to pick between a ton of stock funds but also a handful of blended assets, an invested bond, and a non-invested bond if you really think shit’s gonna go south. My last job did not offer this kind of thing tho.
To shreds you say?
And how’s his wife?
To shreds you say?
I’m pretty sure he is the anti-christ…
*Scooby-Doo voice
ruh oh
I do believe he is starting investments into new projects and needed liquid cash. I wouldn’t dig too deep into this.
