“which monetary history has shown us for thousands of years.”
Gold coins hidden in his mother’s basement didn’t help “monetary history” buff Martin Armstrong either. In fact he paid a $200K fine when he claimed ownership of his booty and lost his case.
>> there seems to be more and more dumb people
For decades we taxpayers have paid our public skools to mass produce them.
>> the jobs for dumb people get fewer and fewer, and there seems to be more and more dumb people
I have a brilliant brand new idea! We will always need an underclass to (for example) man our garbage trucks. So why don’t we take control of the birthing process? We can mix in just the right amount of toxins to the formula of a certain % of the populus, so they become basically too stupid to do anything but collect garbage. We’ll compensate for this moral horror by giving them lots of euphoria-inducing drugs for their off hours. What do you think?
I get that. There’s no such thing as “AI stocks” though.
>> “Oh Lord” is not an argument against an inevitable trend.
No, but it is an argument against misplaced Faith. If you know, you know. If you don’t, I pray that you find Christ — take His yoke upon you and learn of Him.
The AI crash is the most predicted crash in my memory, from experts to casual observers. Whether it happens or not, someone’s going to bet the right way and make a lot of money. Personally I’ll keep buying and holding the S&P 500 and watch the show.
I don’t typically agree with you, and I know (GOLD!) where you’re headed (SILVER!) with this (PM!!!), but in this one instance I do agree with you.
They are loading up, they know what is coming. J six pack is always the last to know...
It's over-hyped. Not all it's cracked up to be. Neither a Great Satan nor a New Utopia.
You are funny. Can’t argue with the facts, this generational Gold Bull started two years ago.....exactly as forecast....and has just started...you still have time to prosper.
What would Jesus code?
Markets correct.
AI and its infrastructure, including the grid and nuclear power, have a long way to go before these many companies are fully grown.
But the value of these stocks will continue to go up in the long term.
From time to time, there are corrections.
AI increases productivity, the way computers have, and the internet have. It is a durable, long-term trend, ultimately good.
There will be bad aspects, due to our fallen nature. But good people will bring good things from it, including more jobs.
No need for that. AI, social media, smartphones and our public schools have already made idiots of our upcoming generation.
They are already implementing this.
One of my colleagues missed a credit card payment recently.
Their bank cut off all access to their savings/checking/credit accounts until it was paid.
This is how it will work.
Comply or die!
Exactly right. The markets are in a state of ontological shock right now, as they are in a frenzy of constant evaluation as to what AI means for the economy, jobs, and society. They are bipolar but, for the most part, are behaving quite well (no irrational exuberance and no suicidal despair).
Market pullbacks, like the one we’re seeing now, are healthy. They’re proof we’re not in a bubble.
People need to get a grip. AI is a tool — nothing more. It can be used for good or for harm.
The real issue is this: the AI revolution is going to be more profound than anyone can fully grasp. That uncertainty has everyone rattled. Nobody wants to admit it, but the market is trying to price in something that has no precedent. And that leaves people confused, anxious, and prone to overreaction.
And Peter Thiel pulling money out of AI stocks..........
Such as Palantier that he co-founded and still owns a healthy chunk of.
