Trump to be sworn-in inside the Capitol rotunda due to forecasts have heavy snow and severe frigid conditions.

This would be the second time, since 1985, that the quadrennial inauguration would be held indoors…

I'm sure that resume would seem super impressive to someone like you.
Failures see something like that and get a hard on.
Most of my circle are double IVYs some triple or quadruple.
So it's a normal thing (to me) and doesn't mean that person is always the best match for a role.
The guy you are arguing with actually did a Harvard extension. He once settled a bet with me using his Harvard extension school email account

I also have some Harvard Manage Mentor certificates. Does that count? 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

This thread has never been a chamber of learning but of chaos and war. No one is ready to listen and learn from the other. It is either left or right or whatever name is seen to be painful.

Arguement is supposed to be an inverted discussion for learning not for winning but what do I know.
It is well.

Where is Ibime? I need you to drop some financial tips, I have some thousands ($) and I need to invest in some stocks and crypto.

I stopped chatting here the past 2 years because I was building my life.

You will be the reason I come here every other day.
Most assets are so overvalued right now, it would be reckless to say, however sentiment is high with inflation dropping below 3% so I expect rallies to continue across the board unless there is a macro shock like war etc

One sector that is definitely undervalued and should turn when interest rates cool down are real estate companies (REITS or Real Estate Investment Trusts). Most are trading at 20-50% less than their Net Asset Value. That means if they liquidate, they will pay out higher than their share price just by selling their properties. This should ease as interest rates come down. Their valuations have been hammered by high interest rates and there is also some distrust of their property valuations, although all valuations are done by independent valuers. There is a potential 2x play there as interest rates ease over the next 18 months. A REIT ETF won't be a bad play.

I think you can get a Harvard Extension school email account if you register for a class there.
And I think anyone can register to take a class there as long as they pay.
When I was younger, I remember some Nigerians doing that, then claiming they went to Harvard.
Somewhat respect the hustle though..

But, I'm not one who makes a big deal of that unless someone forces me to.

I'd be cautious with that, if you include commercial RE. Companies been winding down space they rented hoping to grow into but never did. And with the spike in inflation, which is making the last cut seem like a mistake, I wouldn't bet on interest rates going south any time soon.

That's a goes-without-saying disclaimer.
CRE is in the toilet and it's a fair assumption that anyone who's happened upon business news anytime since 2020 would know it's toxic.

The price action play is neat though.
It's not quite about the goings-on of the Feds on rate cuts--how dovish they'll be.
It's a fundamental reading that asset value has taken a beating, further downside risks are at the lowest of the last 4 years, and a snap back is (over?)due.

The play has an 18 months horizon.
2x might be a reach. But high double digits percentage points will beat the S&P 500.
As always there's a risk of Trump's tumultuous first year causing an extend swing.
That'll have you sit on a bag while standard bullish bets run up the score.
So it's a play that requires individual conviction.

This is what people who are afraid to acknowledge the absurdity of felon trump and cultists maga will tell you, to listen to the cult maga because they have an Harvard email. It's been clear times without number that even the most educated will choose evil and hate wherever it suits their religious bias and immoral compass.

What am I defending? Trump breathes the same air and bleeds blood like you. How can you buy meme coins if he is not allowed to sell? Apple products had a huge following, people used to line up at their stores to get their products even if it was a packaged brick. would you call apple con artists?

Trump is not forcing anyone to buy his stuff. people would buy his stuff because of the way they value him. it's like someone buying a baseball for 2 million because it was a home run hit.

you are always quick to attack Elon Musk and co by calling them criminals and con artists. but when it is Sam Bankman Fried a thief and a con artist, you were defending him.

Capitalism is good except for certain people.
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by bemeruca: 4:17pm On Jan 18, 2025
Ibime, what is more annoying is the fact that you have benefitted from Elon Musk's influence, and capitalized on it yet hate when Musk capitalizes on his influence and decisions. Bitcoin has seen a rise of more than 120% because of Trump but let's hate him even if this would help BC.

Rubbish. I will keep capitalising because I know the game. A President is a president for all, not for the 5%. At least 95% of peeps will lose money from his rugpull while he and his cronies will make bank. This is the height of financial recklessness and grifting. From today, his name shall be President rugpull or President Pyramid Scheme. This is not the first time, he has already rugpulled his NFT before

I never defended SBF, only batted away your lame attempts to claim he was politically protected. The same SBF is in jail today, held to account by responsible Government while Trump is doing his own SBF. The Foxes are really in charge of the hen house. Typical MAGAs, who are the biggest criminals, yet will lie to convince people that democrats are committing crimes they commit wilfully and brazenly. Gaslighting of the highest order.

You cannot dictate how the president is perceived by others. Those with different perspectives will choose to support him. He is not committing a crime or engaging in fraud.

People lose money all the time. It's important to invest in what you understand and to recognize when to take risks. There will always be both winners and losers in any situation, and winners typically fall into the lower percentiles.

Cococandy was saying the government forced insurance companies to take losses the other day. everyone acts in their interest legally. they access the risk of fire and California's mismanagement of forests and decided not to renew policies
The wildfires ravaging Southern California are expected to add further fuel to the state's ongoing insurance crisis, as residents' options for property coverage continue to dwindle or even disappear.

Several insurance companies have either fled California, stopped writing new policies or otherwise reduced their exposure in the Golden State, citing business risks amid rising replacement costs and the inability to adequately raise premiums.

Man stop talking rubbish

Someone launched a pyramid scheme for his own benefit and to rugpull millions of others and you are comparing with Govt forcing insurance companies to payout to thousands for wildfires

I don't see a pyramid scheme here, just because you said so does not make it so. it is running on the same model you bought your meme crap. the only problem here is the fact that it is Trump. this is what you said about Tesla stocks saying they are only worth less than $50, people who do not listen to you are selling high today.

What I said about California is about risk-taking. Both parties take risks. When you are involved in an accident, your insurance goes up. If you are living in the fire zone, your insurance goes up significantly or they don't sell you 1.

You wouldn't know anything about Crypto so shut it

Crypto is not for people in public office. This is what we look at. A $6.7bln circulating mcap coin with $500m liquidity means that the dilution if everyone tries to sell means everyone is down by a factor of 500m/6.7bln. Look at the liquidity amount under Trump in my first screenshot.

So what we do is chase more liquidity by more listings until the pyramid blows off top. It is unpresidential and immoral for a President to engage in such practices and borderline illegal.

Anyway. I caught it late with only about $500 and am up about $3k. My plan would be to sell at $15bln circulating mcap or just under $90bln FDV but will assess strength and volume around $9bln circulating mcap.

The Beta play which I've jumped on, and the guys who know crypto will jump on is BTrump (Baby Trump, represented by Barron Trump). Thesis on this is Baby Doge ran to $500m marketcap so BTrump can get to $20m or $50m easily. It is currently at $4m. And of course we will start dumping on new entrants when it starts approaching those levels, like in any pyramid scheme.

Crypto is for fast guys who get in early and get out leaving bagholders to hold bags, and it is extremely immoral for a guardian of public finances to engage in such practices. Even in my time on Nairaland. I don't give contract address of shïtcoins where I was early to members of Crypto thread, out of moral duty because all shïtcoins will dump and I don't want anyone to say Ibime used them for exit liquidity. I am known for that, cos I have morals when it comes to people's hard earned money, unlike una grifting President

Ibime:
I did put it here after I bought

The thing is I don't like dropping contract addresses as that is directly leading people to buy which may burn them with Shïtcoins, so if I drop the name, resourceful people can pull the Contract address if they so wish

You caught up late. You want to capitalize while accusing the one who gave you the opportunity.

The risk is there just like any other business. Maybe, it would have gone downhill from their initial price, people who took the risk and bought the meme however small the spent are seeing the benefits. Interest is what is driving the value up.

This is how bitcoin started.
