By 10:17 a.m. Eastern Time-right around the time most people are contemplating whether to pour another cup of coffee or pour themselves into an existential crisis-Lucid shares had plunged by 7.5%. That’s after an earlier, more energetic tumble of 10.7%. For those keeping score at home, that’s a downward trajectory so steep it could make a rollercoaster designer blush.
Heading into the latest quarter, Wall Street pundits confidently predicted a modest $0.65 per share, adjusting to smooth out any one-time hiccups. Arista, however, decided to RSVP to that with a raucous “Hold my beer” and delivered a hefty $0.73 per share, alongside a tidy $2.2 billion in revenue-another reminder that, sometimes, being slightly better than ‘good enough’ can turn heads faster than a viral TikTok trend.
Berkshire Hathaway’s success under Buffett was as much a product of his era as it was of his acumen. The same cannot be said for the current climate, where economic tides shift with the whims of central banks and consumer confidence. Still, the myth endures. For those who believe Buffett’s picks are infallible, the recent performance of Visa and American Express offers both vindication and warning.
Главное событие: в ноябре 2024 года FTX, будто шепот вдовы, заявляет, что CZ и его друзья украли 1.7 миллиарда баксов, закамуфлировав их под «сделку по выкупу акций», будто он решил погреться в тепле их миллиардов. 🙄
Yet here we stand, at the precipice of folly, asking: Is it too late to partake in this modern-day gold rush? A question as sensible as asking if the moon is too far to dance upon. For if you believe Bitcoin’s tale, you must also believe in perpetual motion, in the philosopher’s stone, in the notion that scarcity alone can fill a man’s purse-or his head.
This soothsayer, known only as Inmortal, commands an army of 234,400 followers on X (formerly Twitter). From his digital pulpit, he preaches of Ethereum’s imminent breakout, likening it to a rocket poised to breach the final frontier at $4,000 before blasting off into uncharted territory. “Where we’re going,” he cryptically muses, “you won’t need charts.” 😅 Yes, because apparently, when ETH hits $4,000, logic itself will evaporate like morning dew under the sun.
But here’s the thing about hope: it doesn’t always pay dividends. If you’d taken $1,000 and thrown it at Pfizer’s stock back in August 2020, when everyone was desperate for good news, your investment would now be worth around $638. That’s right-less than what you started with. Sure, Pfizer’s dividend offered some comfort, nudging your total up to $828. But let’s face it: that’s still not something you’d write home about.
In a missive on the platform X (formerly known as Twitter, that den of digital babble), Cullen proclaimed his “Bitcoin game plan.” He observed, with the gravity of a man deciphering the mysteries of the cosmos, that BTC is “filling out the inefficient area” between two previous weekly ranges. Ah, the inefficient area! A phrase so absurd, so Gogol-esque, it could only belong in the annals of crypto prophecy. The next move, he declares with the certainty of a soothsayer, will depend on whether Bitcoin breaks out or breaks down from this range. Break out, break down-what nonsense! It is as if the coin itself is a character in one of my tales, perpetually trapped in a bureaucratic nightmare. 🧙♂️📉
Market close on July 2, 2025, set the stage-who knew a share price of $164.92 could feel so much like a badge of honor? Unless you’re a day trader, it’s just a number, until it isn’t.
Base, that shiny new Ethereum Layer 2 darling, decided to throw a tantrum and hit pause on its mainnet-just when you’d think it might be able to handle, I don’t know, more than a teacup full of activity? Turns out, its active sequencer chose to take a nap because the blockchain got a bit too enthusiastic. The official word? “High onchain activity,” or as I like to call it, “Too much coffee for the server.”
