This whole scheme seems super-sketch but I was also surprised by just how many big name funds bought stakes in that ALTS financing round, which is explicitly earmarked for buying the WLFI tokens, and that closed just a few weeks ago. Makes me wonder what the game plan is here?
The guys pounding the table that there are no problems with scaling laws are the guys that need there to be no problems with scaling laws
The Achilles Heel of this market is scaling laws. And it seems like more of an unknown unknown then you'd like.
From $DOV. Seems representative. China is the biggie.
There is only one SMB industry that can bet both ways on this sort of thing
LSI Industries, manufacturer of commercial lighting and displays. Maybe its 50%, maybe its 20%
Yu stepping down thru the derivatives, not just importers, not just retailers, but warehouse space will get hit if things don't change
I've always found $PBFC's Mr Yu to be more candid than most.
$BANR calling out impact of Canadian tariffs, which have been in effect long enough to have an impact. Trump masterfully targeting SMBs.
Trudeau did this in Canada 6-7 years ago. If you read between the lines at the time it was clear that SMBs would be pressed while big corporations protected, Govt largesse on favored sectors and speculators left alone. You had to pivot. Now the US, albeit via much different means, is doing the same.
The admin is telegraphing is to get out of your smb and start speculating. Get HOOD
I don't think I agree that there is no plan. The plan is taking form in real time and its the same one as the old one but maybe on steroids. Wall Street > Main Street. If you own a small business, you are the mark. Speculators will rule.

There is a sad beauty in knowing that good or bad, bull or bear, the one constant is that gold stocks can't rally.
The "fake news" was actually a trial balloon so they would know where to buy their calls.
maybe the real winning trade is to buy as many used iphones as you can
How long until Trump starts passing out banking licenses to friends and family? youtu.be/kOBkzfbd4vw?...
And i get that Canada has rejected proposals to the west coast before. But this is a different situation. Alberta can even agree to limit total oil production to appease the greenies (in return for pipeline concessions), and again to insure that once the oil is gone it isn't coming back.
No threats of shutting off oil for a month or two. Nothing underhanded. Just say okay, we can find other markets. You are going to have to find the heavy oil barrels for those Midwest refineries somewhere else and once we begin construction we aren't stopping unless you pay us to.
It seems like a no-brainer to announce and begin construction prep on an expedited 3.8Mbbls/d of pipeline and loading capacity to move oil to the West Coast. Lets make this a real long term consequence if the US is going to do this.
For a time, it was actually banned for the opposite. You don't have to believe in conspiracies to know THE SCIENCE is a shade of grey.
Of course, the market is squinting so much right now that its blind. That's the meme trade in a nutshell.
Like a lot of these names, you have to really squint to like the numbers.
Its too bad that no one wants to study something if there isn't money to be made from the results.
I like the drink.
This could be an RFK quote.

Are we doing meme stocks here or no?
