Trading volume reached 54.3 million shares – a feverish activity, a desperate grasping for… what, exactly? Perhaps a justification for the past, or a desperate hope for the future. The company, born in 2020, has experienced a growth of 1,529% since its initial offering. A staggering ascent, but does it portend a similar trajectory, or merely a precipitous fall?
Let’s just get this over with. $256,307.97. That’s what he got. Seriously, who calculates to the cent? It’s insulting. He still has 325,250 shares, which, according to their little table, is worth about $7.34 million. So, he’s not exactly hurting. He’s not exactly not hurting, either. It’s just… it’s the implication.
If you happen to own shares in Bitfarms – or if it’s lurking on your watchlist like a particularly persistent goblin3 – you’re probably wondering if now is the time to double down. The question isn’t simply ‘will they make money?’ but ‘will they manage to avoid accidentally summoning a rogue AI that demands all the world’s processing power?’ A legitimate concern, really.
Calculations based on the SEC filing’s weighted average purchase price of $8.98 and the market close of $8.80 on the aforementioned date. Such precision, one suspects, provides a comforting illusion of control.
Ross. They sell stuff cheap. Two chains, actually. Ross and dd’s. It’s like… Ross is for people who pretend they don’t care about brands, and dd’s is for people who genuinely don’t. It’s a whole system. And it works. Because people like a bargain. It’s not rocket science. Though, the store layouts… don’t even get me started. It’s like they want you to wander aimlessly for hours. It’s a power play, I swear. Anyway, they’re doing okay. Last quarter, sales were up 9%. Not spectacular, but… not bad. They expect another 3-4% this year. And the earnings… 6-11%. It’s…fine. They’re opening more stores, of course. Like they need more clutter. They had 1904 Ross stores and 363 dd’s. More places to get lost. It’s a whole thing.
To attribute this decline to conventional anxieties – fears of slowing growth, or the capital expenditures required to maintain a competitive edge – is to misunderstand the nature of the labyrinth we call the stock market. These are merely the visible walls, the readily apparent dead ends. The true impediment lies elsewhere, in the ephemeral currents of sentiment, in the collective unconscious of investors.
The current impetus, as reported, stems from anxieties surrounding liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies, disrupted by events in the Persian Gulf. It is an irony not lost on those familiar with the ‘Treatise on Contingency’ – a spurious text attributed to the Alexandrian scholar, Ptolemy Secundus – that the pursuit of cleaner energy sources should be so readily entangled with the vagaries of geopolitical conflict. The blockage of supply, it seems, has prompted a renewed, if temporary, reliance on coal – a return to a prior state, a recursive echo in the energy landscape.
The particulars are these: 825 shares, valued at approximately $70,000 according to the official record, leaving Mr. Thomas with a direct holding of 4,381 shares, representing a value of $364,000. These numbers, ostensibly concrete, are merely points on a fluctuating curve, reflections in a hall of mirrors where value is never fixed, only perceived.
Forget your meme stocks. Forget your crypto fantasies. We need anchors. We need CASH FLOW. And right now, two names are screaming at me from the wreckage: Coca-Cola and Tractor Supply. They aren’t glamorous. They aren’t going to make you an overnight billionaire. But they’ll keep you breathing when the whole system goes belly up. These aren’t investments, they’re survival kits.
These aren’t the kind you stick on a fridge. These are the guts of the future, the neodymium-iron-boron magnets. Strong stuff. The kind that makes electric motors hum, robots walk, and drones…well, do whatever it is drones do these days. Seventeen elements, they call them ‘rare earth’. A misnomer, really. They’re not rare, just hard to get out of the ground and even harder to refine. China had a head start. Still does. They control about 71% of the supply coming into the U.S. as of 2025. That’s a chokehold, plain and simple.
