Unexpected effect of tax reform

To be honest, I have become very dissatisfied with politics in the last few months and have not read any details of all the resolutions. As an upwardly mobile person who comes from the lower socioeconomic class, I am usually at a clear disadvantage with current politics anyway. I was even more surprised at the result that, as a top earner, I would actually pay minimally less income tax next year. So it's not like anything gets stuck thanks to rising social security contributions and perspective

Tesla Delivers a Blowout Quarter, Crushing Wall Street Estimates

Tesla delivered a much stronger-than-expected second quarter, reporting 480,126 vehicle deliveries, well ahead of Wall Street forecasts of roughly 406,600. The company also produced 451,758 vehicles during the period, signaling a meaningful improvement after a slow start to the year, according to CNBC. Shares were volatile on the news and have settled near unchanged into the cash open… The delivery total marked a sharp increase from 358,023 vehicles in the first quarter and was also significantl

Robinhood 5% return on cash in Europe

I opened an account with them a couple months ago, thinking of taking advantage of the 5% interest on cash they were giving for a limited time (it was supposed to be until yesterday) Now, to my surprise, they have extended it indefinitely. Seems like a great place to have emergency money parked. It’s protected up to 22000€ and transfers are instant (I have tried them myself). Is this a too good to be true thing or you guys are also using it to squeeze a little extra from your emergency cash? sub

Am I wrong that passive flows, not earnings, are what's actually propping this market up?

Top 10 S&P names are about 41% of index weight now but only around a third of the index's earnings. Every payroll deduction into a 401k or target date fund buys that same top heavy basket no matter what the price is. Feels like real price discovery on the median stock has basically stopped mattering. Genuinely curious what people think breaks this. Does the passive bid just compound until valuations look insane by any historical measure, or is there some mechanism that forces a reversal before t

WHO declares cruise ship-linked hantavirus outbreak over

The World Health Organization on Thursday declared an end to the deadly hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship which sparked international alarm, after the last person left quarantine. There were 12 confirmed and one probable case stemming from the MV Hondius, including three deaths. But while the outbreak is now over, for scientists and experts, the work is only in its early stages, as they try to learn lessons from the episode that triggered a global health alert. “Today, the final contact of a.

Trump Administration Advances New California Oil Lease Plans

The Bureau of Land Management is giving California another chance to weigh in on oil and gas leasing—whether the state wants it or not. On Thursday, the BLM opened a 30-day public scoping period for 50 federal oil and gas parcels covering roughly 36,000 acres across Kern, Kings, Fresno, and San Luis Obispo counties. The parcels could be included in a future federal lease sale, marking the latest step in the Trump administration's effort to revive domestic energy development on public lands. If t

OPEC+ Plans Another Output Hike. The Market Barely Notices.

The seven-member group of OPEC+ oil producers that has been restraining production since 2023 is set to extend a series of output quota hikes they launched after the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran that set off the latest war in the Middle East. Yet the UAE is already shipping record volumes of crude abroad, right after it quit OPEC. According to unnamed sources who spoke to Reuters, the OPEC seven, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan, and Oman, will likely decide

The richest person in AI (Chen Tianshi) is someone I'd never heard of

The single richest person in AI isn't at OpenAI or Anthropic. It's Chen Tianshi, founder of a Chinese chip company and he's worth ~$40B. It's surprising to me that there's no list of billionaires whose fortune comes primarily from AI. People must be searching online for and AI billionaires list? Maybe it's just me, but I wanted to share net-worth estimates for the richest AI billionaires, specifically because I saw a name I'd never heard of at the top of the list. Chen Tianshi holds a 28.4% dire

With the official death toll nearing 2,300 and huge numbers of people still missing, the rescue of security guard Hernan Gil after so long under the rubble was greeted as a miracle. Gil was brought out on a stretcher after a painstaking operation to extract him from the collapsed seven-storey building where he...

Intel, AI, neuromorphic computing, and you

In 15-20 years, Intel will likely be the highest valued company in the world. Hear me out 1) AI isn't going anywhere. It is being widely adopted in many industries and is only improving in sophistication and application areas. This trend will only continue. We have been here before with the Internet, I remember the skepticism about the Internet being a fad and having little use for regular people very well 2) AI data centers are unsustainable. We all know this. The problem is that our convention
