I included their full fiscal-year results so people can see how much they make from each. Space and launch are there. Did you even see that? They build components that withstand the temperature and performance requirements of re-entry or Mach 5+, whether for a rocket going into space or a missile.

Definitely. And prices trend down for ages. But there still seem to be up- and downcycles and we are in a deep down as I see it. And while people opt for the cheaper, when it comes to the big events they still go for big diamonds and natural ones. About 70-80 % of the revenuw stems from such sales apparently. If we´re assuming there is a k-shaped economy in the US, natural diamonds will have their place. And recently someone mentioned that the market trends for natural and lab diamonds seem to diverge similarly as they once did for colored gemstones, which have been reproduced way before it was even possible with diamonds. I won´t bet on it, but that guy was an experienced gem enthusiast so I trust, that it´s at least a possibility. And yes ... I also own ruby and emerald mines (well, a couple of shares). ;) It´s a bet on cycles still existing and the believe, that if you buy a distressed asset at the bottom and allow it to recover you take more risk, but you earn a higher reward. I mean, a market cap of 5 million for a company with an enterprise value of 100 million. It´s just to good to not dump a small position on. So yeah. Your point is head on. I just refuse to believe natural diamonds will do right now when I invest what they were supposed to do for decades.

Idk, I think advanced missile tech is a thing of the past re national defense, future will all be how quickly countries can manufacture cheap drones and overwhelm traditional missile air defense.

No I was up on the year 40k trading a bunch of different stocks. Then bought into my current one and loss all my gains made this year sold to realize the losses and then re bought in.

Sleeping is a tough game. I’m generally a good sleeper. Working out consistently helps. My issue is I want to spend time with my wife after a hard working day but we have a lot fun together and that re-energizes me then making it tough to sleep. I think sleep is very important for my trading, just as much as emotional stability.

I hope you re bought a month after you sold

So was up 40k on the year bought into a stock and went down 46k so I sold and re bought in realizing the losses. Now I haven’t fully recovered but I’m up 20k now on the year unrealized. If I hold for the rest of the year do I not have to pay taxes this year because I have a realize losses of 6k?

pretty easy to recover data from destroyed data center. Most of the time you have local and remote replication. Even if there is only one copy in that data center. unless you spend time over writing all the memory with fresh data. You can recover it from the wreckage. The trolley experiment need to be update with upload encryption virus to the data center and infected every other copy of the data with the same virus. Keep the 5 people on the track for days while we hunt down every last remain of the backup copy. And wipe away all training data so the ai cant be re train again. And you got implement strict government control to make sure no new data will be recorded digitally at the risk that ai can be regenerate. All form of writing and speaking media will need to be ban to prevent data leak, After a few generation when all have lose the ability to read/write. That's when you can be sure the ai cannot be resurrect. It's just really hard to kill it instantly in a trolley experiment like fashion because modern data warehousing have multiple safety protocol the prevent such catastrophic loss scenario.

They tend to have their moments, but those tend to not last. At least if we´re talking about the index. Individual stocks can tell a different story.

That's kinda/sorta how I've been playing the market since 2022. Taking 20-50% profits and then re-upping when it drops. It hurts sometimes when I see certain tickers run, though. I made decent money on CRWD and AMD for instance, but if I'd just held? I dunno.
