Also, sorry to pick on you. Just skimming this thread after the steep Bitcoin drop. It will likely be 200k in 3 weeks anyway.

February 5Feb 5 Told you all that Hazelton would crash it 👀Anyone check in on Khani recently? Funny he hadn't been around in awhile. Probably so rich now he doesn't have time for the boards anymore. Is this the real last opportunity to buy?
February 5Feb 5 If everyone is talking about a potential AI bubble, there's a real chance that a crypto crash can spill over or impact the larger securities market that's over reliant on tech companies building in AI tools with the same silicon that's bouyed by its use in the crypto industry.

The one AI stock I own is taking a huge beating. The fact that AI stocks make up 40% of the S&P is a recipe for disaster. I have no idea how all these stupid meme coins impact the overall crypto market either, but it can't be good. The whole thing seems ripe for insider trading and market manipulation. Meanwhile look at stocks like Pepsi, Coke, Walmart, and Target, all doing very well as AI and Crypto plummet. There is also a growing movement to boycott AI and big tech to protest ICE. Here was the list I saw published...Resist and UnsubscribeResist and UnsubscribeHow much of an effect this will have? Who knows, but people are frustrated and want to do something.

NVDA for sure, maybe MSFT to some degree, but the other 3 are diversified enough to be able to still generate a ton of revenue without anything related to what could be classified as an AI product. I also wouldn't include TGT in that second group, they're on the rebound but they're still struggling to recover from last year's tariff induced crash. Ask me how I know.And to clarify, I didn't intend to come across as alarmist in my previous post. I'm never one to call out an impending crash. Please don't go liquidating all your big tech positions because of anything I say. Just wanted to point out that it's plausible for a crypto crash to spill over to the broader market to some degree because of the indirect relationship between the two as a result of shared chips.
February 5Feb 5 Stay diversified and you’ll be fine. Something as straight forward as P&G is a good way to offset all the tech. Lower growth but more stable and decent dividends.

Here'...AI stocks now dominate the S&P 500, raising big questions about diversification and your retirement portfolio.You didn't come across as an alarmist at all. I think there are enough indicators to be concerned.

I think there are enough indicators to be concerned.Yeah it tracks for NVDA and I'll even give you MSFT because of how much they're investing in co-pilot and integrating it within their enterprise product suite which is a decent chunk of their revenue, but Google is way more diversified and Amazon and Apple aren't anywhere close to being considered reliant on AI at all.

My worst single holding was a Cisco position which I managed to get when it was near its peak. That and a weed stock, haha. I try to mix in some of the boring slow but steady guys.

February 13Feb 13 This is more stock market related, but what the hell is going on with the Netflix share price?It peaked in June with an all time high, but it's dropped to a 52 week low yesterday dropping to $75.53 per share (down about $56). Is it the uncertainty around the Warner merger? That's a huge drop and they had some excellent numbers on paper over the last 12 months

They'll be fine in the long term, but might be a rough year or so.
