I had a six figure (200k+) carry forward capital loss. Then I married a girl who HODL’d NVDA. It’s gone.

It’s funny how people keep moving the goalposts. Six months ago, the robotaxi was a "publicity stunt." Then they expanded, and people complained about the safety drivers. They pulled the drivers, and people complained about the chase cars. Now the chase cars are gone, and everyone’s complaining about the limited geofence. If they had skipped those steps and just gone for it, people would be even more terrified. Tesla’s approach is just pure pragmatism. They’re betting the whole company on this, so they literally can't afford a major accident. Of course they’re going to be slow af and methodical, it’s the only way to actually deploy this without a disaster.

There is one now, actually. We've hit a sweet spot where launch costs have diminished & we've confirmed the presence of large volumes of ice in permanently shadowed craters. Water is a kind of miracle fluid, not only because we need it to live and farm, but also because it can be electrolyzed into rocket fuel - the lack of ice found in the Apollo missions was one reason we "gave up" on the "anhydrous" Moon. The Moon now looks like the perfect cosmic gas station, where mining ice will play a pivotal role in missions further out. But it is more than that, too. There's a lot of potential with building a Lunar economy. The lower gravitational field would be a boon to any kind of logistics or heavy industry, with workers and machinery able to carry six times the payload they could on Earth. One industry in particular would truly benefit from this - fiber optics. Fiber cables are made by allowing a bead of molten glass to fall several stories, forming a long thin cylinder of glass behind the droplet as it descends. On the Moon it would be possible to make fiber cables six times longer than on Earth, as the tensile force remains the same but the gravitational force is reduced. The easy access to vacuum is also great for all kinds of chemical and industrial processes that are currently prohibitively expensive to do on Earth - such as semiconductor production that relies on clean rooms, distillation, solvent recovery, vacuum forming...and more. In terms of fuel needed to overcome the lunar "delta v", launch costs from the Moon are trivial, so it makes far more sense to build things like rockets on the Moon and do the launches from there than from Earth, if the goal is to reach other planets, so the Moon is destined to become a major spaceport. Lunar mining is also likely going to be very valuable and pay for itself in the near future - even if much of the Lunar subsurface is silicate, its surface is full of asteroid impact sites, and asteroids bring in valuable and rare metals. We don't have to wrangle an asteroid into Earth orbit, if it's just sitting out in the open on the Moon. Finally, the potential for radio astronomy is unparalleled on the Moon's far side, as this is the only spot left in our solar system that is dark to Earth's radio transmissions. I didn't even really go into the presence of Helium 3 isotopes on the natural satellite. H3 is a very useful fuel source for fusion reactions, and it is naturally created on the Lunar surface from the capture of solar wind particles. If we end up relying on nuclear fusion in the future, the Moon will be what powers our entire civilization.

Snap. lol. I’ve owned that piece of shit stock at least three times in the last six or seven years. It’s always about to turn around. It’s always improving the numbers somewhere in that earnings report. There’s always some tea leaf reading by someone that makes you think yeah, maybe I’ll buy some of that stock. How low can it go. The answer my friend is lower.

Happens to gamblers everyday. There is countless examples of people losing six figures gambling, some recover and move on to live great lives if they are able to recover. It happened to me

Nah bro, your Toyota is still 14 years old. It is you who has aged six years in the past one year due to all the stress and volatility. 

---

Should be a steady uptrend on related stocks for the next six months I imagine

No offense to all the homeless people on this sub, but I don't understand how people get evicted, like what did you think was gonna happen? Maybe they'll forget about the six month of unpaid rent?

I got insanely lucky. See all time chart. I was down to 900 on Friday after dumping 6k into this account over the course of six months. I’m pretty sure winning off of scratchers is more probable.

Oh look they are rotating their money to tech! Who the fuck could have expected that reversal that has been happening every other week for the last six fucking months!!
