Doesn't look like NVDA is ever going to recover
[QUOTE=XXL;2989587]I'm down 100 k USD on my stocks over the past month. It's impossible for a private investor to time the market. The situation now is not yet as bad as it got during COVID. It's just that we feel more concerned now because COVID felt like the end of the World and we didn't even care. I'm waiting for a further 10-percent dip to buy.
Didn't Buffet say the opposite?[/QUOTE]That's true, I read somewhere that during the Cuban missile crisis, people were still buying stocks, enough that during the second half of that 2 week crisis, the stock market recovered most of its losses. So, even with the threat of nuclear annihilation, people were like 'fuck it'. Let's just buy some stocks.
So this is what's making this whole situation so weird. It's tariffs and shit, deepseek and bla bla bla. Not the threat of the literal end of the world, so how come stocks and the economy are crashing like never before? At this point it might as well be the end of the world. That's it, I'm selling everything. Most of my positions is in the mag 7 anyway and it looks like they're never going to recover. I don't understand how literally overnight, people have stopped using their Microsoft accounts for work, stopped using Google to search for porn, threw away their Iphones, and stopped buying shit on Amazon. Because that be the only reason to explain why they're crashing. I get why Tesla is crashing, cause that's a shit company. But MSFT? AAPL? NVDA?
Fuck it, I'm typing this on my Imac right now, but as soon as I log out, I'm taking it out to the trash. Going to by me a PC instead. But wait, PCs run on Windows! But no one is using MSFT software anymore. What the fuck is happening? None of this makes sense. FML.
The reason I am not worried.
[QUOTE=Werqweq;2990039]Unless you're very familiar with Asians, I think you should be more worried. I sometimes enjoyed playing the "is that a ladyboy?" game with thai girls while having a cup of coffee in a shopping mall, or seeing a LB and farang walking hand in hand, and even thai girls get it wrong from a distance many times. Probably because it's not a thing they need to concern themselves with much, but still. Some literally look like a dude in a wig and it has to be obvious even to a blind man, but there are enough small, petite, feminine looking ladyboys too.
Your best bet is to just ask to see their ID. You can flatter her by saying it is because she looks so young, and you want to make sure she's over 18. Their ID will say "Mr. " or "Miss" somewhere on it.
[/QUOTE]Is because I DO ask, almost always. I too have seen the occasional LB show up for a (in my case PinaLove) meeting. Fortunately, I always have them meet me in the hotel lobby or some place nearby. I addition, I tip the hotel security guard when I check in and ask him to watch my back. That small investment has paid off rather well. Finally, I ask; sometimes it's done playfully or jokingly, sometimes it's just direct.
Good discussion. Thanks for your reply and the replies of others.
