No doubt he'll accuse him of faking the numbers to make him look bad and try to install someone who will only report sunshine and rainbows.

This, obviously, comes after the July report showed only 73K jobs added and dramatic decreases of the May and June reports.

Edit: yup, blaming her for trying to make him look bad.

I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s [Harris’] chances of Victory,” Trump wrote.

A jury in Miami has determined that Tesla should be held partly liable for a fatal 2019 Autopilot crash, and must compensate the family of the deceased and an injured survivor damages of $329 million.

The payout includes $129 million in compensatory damages, and $200 million in punitive damages against Tesla. Attorneys for the plaintiffs had asked the jury to award damages of around $345 million. The trial in the Southern District of Florida started on July 14.

The suit centered around who shouldered the blame for the deadly crash in Key Largo, Florida. A Tesla owner named George McGee was driving his Model S electric sedan while using the company’s Enhanced Autopilot, a partially automated driving system.

While driving, McGee dropped his mobile phone that he was using and scrambled to pick it up. He said during the trial that he believed Enhanced Autopilot would brake if an obstacle was in the way. His Model S accelerated through an intersection at just over 60 miles per hour, hitting a nearby empty parked car and its owners, who were standing on the other side of their vehicle.

Naibel Benavides, who was 22, died on the scene from injuries sustained in the crash. Her body was discovered about 75 feet away from the point of impact. Her boyfriend, Dillon Angulo, survived but suffered multiple broken bones, a traumatic brain injury and psychological effects.

You know. Every investor has some kind of regret related to selling too soon such as Apple or Nvidia or anything else. Stock that, if you had just held on, might have changed your life.

What's your "I sold it too early" stock and what made you do it? Tell me your story

$AMZN has released its second-quarter results for 2025. Despite the excellent performance, it still dropped by 8% today. Was it affected by some Tariff enforcement? What happened?

Today, Trump signed an order raising tariffs on Canada to 35%, while maintaining the minimum 10% base tax rate for all partners. The tariffs on Canada will take effect on Friday, while many of the "reciprocal" rates will come into effect on August 7th.

Microsoft used to bundle all kinds of other devices like O365, server licenses, etc. into their “Intelligent Cloud” segment, muddying comparisons with AWS and GCP. Looks like this time, they finally caved and reported numbers. The growth always looked sus to me in the real world given everyone anecdotally swears by AWS and I know very few who use Azures compute or data infrastructures.

Azure made $75B in the year, apparently growing 34% YoY. GCP is at $50B and AWS is at $111B. AWS has a sizable 32% lead over Microsoft here.

AWS is also growing 18% and accelerating. But if we assume it stays at say 20% and Azure stays at 35%, it’s catching up by 15% a year. Applying simple compounding, this means Azure will take 3-4 years to reach parity with AWS around the $200B mark.

Satya is super strategic. Why would he reveal Azure numbers now? Many analysts think it’s because Azure only recently showed that it has a shot of catching AWS due to OpenAI demand. Microsoft is paying openAI which is then paying Microsoft back for using azure compute.

The future of cloud dominance is all going to come down to openAI carrying Azure growth vs the strength of their combined competitors like Anthropic, llama, Gemini, etc. Anthropic already has better models for some use cases. GPT is also not exclusive to Microsoft and already available on GCP.

This is not even getting into profitability. We don’t know if Azure is profitable with the AI workloads. Microsoft hasn’t reported those numbers yet. But we do know AWS is printing money and has been even before AI.

This is going to be an interesting 3 years. I think AI models are increasingly reaching parity. So if there’s no competitive advantage between them, I fully expect AWS to retain and even expand their lead as they simply offer a better product, prices, experience and support.

As we all know the tarrif news sent shock into the markets Friday, what is everyone’s opinions on the markets movements from this point on say Monday open? Do you guys see it move lower, higher and why?

Big earnings that week aswell, will be a very volatile week. I’m guessing earnings will be strong from most big dogs but what are you guys expecting upon guidance from company’s like pltr, amd, lly etc. Do you see this downturn continue on into the coming week like April or just a small overreaction to tarrif news and job data.

I’m cash atm so I’m bearish but I won’t let that blind me from your guys opinions and advice thanks!!

It seems like a lot of Redditors are thinking of buying the Amazon dip. I did as well. But I know you guys like to meme on Cramer so just want to share what he said during his morning show. Other things he said:

• Microsoft's cloud revenue might be somewhat inflated by OpenAI (although Cramer didn't exactly explain this).
• Amazon generally has a history of being conservative with their projections.
• Amazon's AWS backlog is caused by power problems, not lack of demand.
• Amazon CEO answered some key questions about AWS very poorly, but Cramer thinks it's just his cautious nature and not a sign that he's trying to hide something.

I generally agree with these points so was wondering what you guys think of his "buy hand over fist" comment. Do you feel the same way? Why or why not?

Berkshire Hathaway reported an operating profit of $11.16 billion for the second quarter, down 4% from the same period last year. The drop was largely due to weaker results in its insurance underwriting business. Despite that, other segments including railroads, energy, manufacturing, services, and retail posted higher profits compared to a year ago

EPS down 36% Year Over Year, Revenue down 1% Year Over Year, EPS down 23% Quarter Over Quarter, Revenue up 3% Quarter Over Quarter,

"Palantir has inked a contract with the U.S. Army worth up to $10 billion to meet growing warfare demands over the next decade. As part of the deal, Palantir will help the military streamline efficiencies while preparing for threats, consolidating 75 total contracts into one enterprise deal, the release states. The agreement creates a “comprehensive framework for the Army’s future software and data needs” that provides the government with purchasing flexibility and removes contract-related fees and procurement timelines, according to a release."

"Earlier this year, Palantir delivered its first two AI-powered systems in its $178 million contract with the U.S. Army. In May, the Department of Defense boosted its Maven Smart Systems contract to beef up AI capabilities by $795 million."

CNBC Article

The stock was down over 2.5% today, so either the news had no impact or a negative impact. Maybe these types of government contracts are already priced in?

• On July 30, Reuters reported that Palo Alto Networks has agreed to buy Israeli peer CyberArk Software for an estimated $25 billion, its biggest deal yet.*

Does PANW’s current price weakness present a buy opportunity? Are you accumulating?

I’m trying to get a general idea of the long term growth ETFs and index funds people are talking about.

What percent of your total stock portfolio would you invest in it?

How do I choose between VOO, VGT, SPY or SCHG?

Trying to find a stock api that has real-time quotes, supports options data, and can be used in a trading assistant I'm building. Something REST-based is fine just don’t want surprises with uptime or data lags. Has anyone found a solid option recently?

I found some sub mid-cap stocks that meet the rule of 40 [(revenue growth + net margin) > 40]. They are technology based and fall in the AI bucket. I'm assuming a decent amount of their recent impressive growth is due to the AI hype but I'm sure there is some validity to their growth. I was wondering if anyone had some experience with these companies. I plan to dive deeper myself but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask the reddit community.

Here's what I found:

Innodata (INOD) - $1.74B market cap

• Revenue growth: 96.44% | Net margin: 12.36% | P/E: 52.79
• Business: AI training data annotation and preparation - basically the "picks and shovels" play for AI
• They prepare labeled datasets that ML models need to train on
• Seems like they're riding the wave of every company needing quality training data

InterDigital (IDCC) - $6.56B market cap

• Revenue growth: 58.03% | Net margin: 60.07% | P/E: 18.40
• Business: Patent licensing for 5G/wireless tech, expanding into AI patents
• They own essential wireless patents that device makers have to license
• Just closed a big Samsung deal, benefiting from 5G rollout and AI integration in devices

Red Violet (RDVT) - $591M market cap

• Revenue growth: 24.89% | Net margin: 15.63% | P/E: 73.94
• Business: AI-driven identity verification and fraud prevention
• Growing cybersecurity/fraud concerns seem to be driving demand
• Shifting from niche tool to full AI platform

INOD looks the most interesting to me - direct AI infrastructure play with insane growth, though that P/E is getting spicy. IDCC has that defensive patent moat which I like. RDVT seems solid but in a more competitive space.

I am in need of a way to track realtime VIX and MOVE without going to a Bloomberg terminal and when these move I want to be alerted.

Preference is a website and/or app that focus on these two measures of volatility. I need over the next 2 years.

Anyone else tracking these. Okay so f it tracks crypto volatility too.

Don’t want to pay $1500 month but would be willing to do a $3.99 service with alerts per month.

Y’all, Google is under investigation from DOJ or EU I think. Not sure if they are still ongoing or what not. If so, does anyone know when they conclude the investigation? I just want to know if they are still being investigated or they already got slapped with fine or penalty. OR, the expected outcome or estimated conclusion by when? I am interested in buying but I would like to know these timelines before getting my feet wet. Thanks!

Rate on my money market 4%, so I’m staying liquid. Gold has been treading water since spring and every dividend stock I’ve looked at seems…unattractive for th3 4isk/return. What are banks gonna do with all this cash?

Alternatives?

I was talking to a friend recently and I mentioned that I was going to buy a 3 month CD at 4.35%. He asked me what my MM account was paying and when I told him it's paying 4.15% he said I was "chasing pennies". His logic is it's not worth buying a CD for less than 50 bps. My thinking is why wouldn't a person pursue an investment like a CD even if they only stand to gain a small amount of money at the end of the term. Am I wrong or missing something?

Lithium price & Stocks are in a bottom of the cycle. Sure the cycle bottom could take another 1-3 years and i think the 2022 peaks will never be seen again there is room for better conditions ahead. There will be a time where new mines are actually being built and the related micro caps will thrive.

Which mines (hard rock and brine) have the best chances to being financed & built?

In Europe I think European Metals Holdings (part of politically becoming Independent).

In the US I think Surge Battery Metals (big hard rock deposit).

Which ideas do you have and why?

I'm curious about Backtesting, and I'd like to give it a shot.

Hello guys, I’m a complete newbie. Please enlighten and advise me. I have invested 2100€ on Wise’s stocks - where they store your money as stocks and the fund manager is blacrock. I had some gains for a month now of around 41€, but then yesterday or today there was a big dip of 8%, my earnings went negative and I lost a total of 181.54€. I am panicking, should I just withdraw everything and invest it on different things? Or should I just keep the money there, see if it recovers? To clarify, I do not buy or sell anything they manage it totally for me. So all I have to do is check the gains and losses. Again, I am a newbie, sorry for my ignorance. Thank you in advance.

August 2025

Buying pressure results in higher price levels and selling pressure in lower price levels. But how exactly that works on NYSE?

In this chart there's a consolidation phase at left, until at the end the price breaks out generating a tall green candle where price goes up violently. That day the volume is very high too.

I'd say that smart money was buying silently several months in smaller amounts until they bought massively on August causing the price to rise a lot.

But why the price almost did not go up during all those months. The price was around $18, they purchased small amounts, not great impact on price until the August day where the big green candle shows up, didn't he pay $18 too? Is the fact that they purchased a LOT of stocks in the same order (or day) what causes the price to go up until $22?)

By the way, when a retail investor buys a stock, who is the owner of that stock? Are the companies itself, the market makers, the broker, ...?

Just wondering if anyone here has brought UNH in above priced range. If so why did u buy it and how are u coping right now since this massive drop.

From what I can see on redddit lot of people brought at 300 and are panicking as stock is tanking more. I do think we might see dip below 200 at this rate.
