My prediction: People have easy access to trading now. Lots of people are desperate and are going to throw their last dollars at "AI!" This will spike, then the big dogs cash out and the poors end up even worse off.

$MRVL up 10% pre-market $POET up 15% pre-market * Marvell Technology announced [acquisition ](https://investor.marvell.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1000/marvell-to-acquire-celestial-ai-accelerating-scale-up-connectivity-for-next-generation-data-centers)of Celestial AI for its pioneering **Photonic** Fabric technology for next generation of optical connectivity for AI Data Centers. * Current generation of AI chip communication is reaching the limits of Copper connectivity * Next generation of AI will need optical (Silicon Photonics) for high-bandwidth chip<==>chip communication **I bought some $POET stock and also Jan'27 $5 Call Options for cheap yesterday because:** * David Lazovsky the CEO of **Celestial AI** was previously the Executive Chairman of the board of directors for POET Technologies * Strong Cash Position: POET recently closed a $150 million share offering bolstering cash position to Over $300 Million * POET Technologies supplies precision optical engines, like its Starlight modules, to **Celestial AI** for use in its Photonic Fabric and Orion AI accelerators, with POET's technology enabling high-bandwidth, low-latency data connections for AI data centers * Management expects that some new optical engine purchase orders may be announced by the end of the year. In addition to orders from Celestial AI and Adtran, POET has been working with Mitsubishi, Luxshare, FOIT, Lessengers, and a few other companies. It is even possible that few of the Chinese module makers could come on board for 800G products in 2026 $POET is a long-term play because Silicon Photonics will become huge over next 1-2 years. Another good play is $LITE (Lumentum) but the stock is too expensive right now and I will wait for a big dip.

No one carries cash and few accept crypto. Virtually every purchase goes on a credit card.

Watch them dump it on the rate cut announcement. It will probably be like the day after nvidia earnings when everyone was hyped about ai. The stocks all crash but the interest rates go down so we make less holding cash. The sad thing is that we were tought to cheer fpr that outcome. Either way I'm holding spy, qqq, iwm and ibit leaps.

Because becoming proficient at trading stocks and options is more lucrative and sane than NBA gambling by a degree that is difficult to quantify. And if I lose my gambling assets the government definitely isn't seeing that as a write off. I have picked great stocks in the past, I've had my wins, then I flail about for a bit. I have no consistency and I realized it's because I lacked structure or a toolset which I apply towards gambling. I mean lets be real- would you rather learn your kid is getting real good at NBA props or real good at timing the market? But yes I am scaling up right now. It spooks me bad but it is what it is. In this economy just doing everything I can to build a future for myself. Still we're talking big differences in income potential. I can put $2k on a prop with even odds and make $2k. I can also lose that money instantly when a guy stubs his toe in the first minute, team gets blown out, etc. You can't cash out when that starts. It's all or nothing. I can watch SPY stub it's toe on a tweet and cash out and take a 30% loss, then move back into something else. I can get 20% off the win and cash out if I see the proverbial blowout coming. That's the issue. It's more fluid than just putting money down and coming back later. Although it's easier on the heart.
