    What I'm interested to see is if meme stocks like Tesla become safe havens of irrationality during this storm, or if they get absolutely hosed and reduced back to sane prices.

    The blade of consumer irrationality is usually two-sided. And unless something has fundamentally changed about how markets are picking winner and loser stocks, the meme stocks are about to take a royal shellacking.

    • yeah memestocks are slowly bleeding out, services get fckd 100%, rest is running a reality check.
      what i don't get is Palantir, what happened there

    • PLTR got memed, bro. crashed as hard as it took off. has never posted an annual profit.sarahfailin

    • It's super overvalued, just like gamestop, etc. based on brand popularity not fundamentals.sarahfailin

    Another bad sign for markets is the 50 day moving average crossed bearishly over the 200 day moving average. Sometimes referred to as a "death cross." This happened last in March of 2020 before some real shit went down.

    From a WSJ article today regarding the spiking price of oil:

    “Not every recession has been caused by an oil price spike but every oil spike has caused a recession,” said Brian O’Reilly, head of market strategy at Mediolanum International Funds. “This is likely to be a drawn-out affair and will have a sustained impact on commodity prices.”

    Nickel stopped trading today after the value peaked 300% of where it closed December 2021. Ukraine and Russia are major suppliers, and it's critically important for the manufacturing of electric vehicles and batteries.

    • 68% of world nickel production goes to stainless steel. 17% into other alloys, 9% to plating. Only about 4% is used in batteries.monNom
    • But all those things are still important. Try building a refinery or powerplant without stainless steel, or a jet engine without nickel alloys.monNom

    Oil: BP, Exxon, and Shell all have significant investments in Russia that could be threatened by sanctions on Russia’s energy market.

    Banks: Chase and Citi, which do business in Russia, would have to cut ties with local lenders if broad financial sanctions happen. Cross-border payments could be frozen, which might mean lost $$$.

    Cars: Dodge and Jeep parent Stellantis says it would limit production in Russia if sanctions disrupt its operations.

    Beer: Danish brewer Carlsberg is Ukraine’s biggest beer seller, while Russia accounts for 10% of its sales. It has breweries in both countries and said it’s working on contingency plans in case sanctions disrupt beer-making.

    • this is exactly the kind of problem i was highlighting in the Russia thread. These sanctions don't really help us either, but is it the best we can do?Ianbolton

    Yeah stop harassing ME!

    This would be one of several posts you’ve “dedicated” to mock me in recent months

    You basically pick and choose out of context stuff I post and you make a big deal out of it trying to do...what?

    Most of them if not all after @monospaced got in an argument with me over clear factual information and I called him an idiot - meaning he’s foolish talking about stuff he clearly does not know much about

    BUT THAT’S ON HIM!

    You’re not the QBN enforcer here, nor Atila the fuckin Hun! So stop it!

    Anyway,

    getting back to the discussion at hand - DIVIDENDS

    Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway owns around 5% of Apple

    according to this article: https://www.fool.com/investing/2… or this one: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/w… or this https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/…

    That’s “$134.9 billion” so at a yield of 0.5% he gets 674M so almost $700 as the articles mention, but he also gets more from the other stocks in the folio

    So yeah, for a dividend portfolio you need to own a lot of shares, and it;s not for everybody

    You need something like a $1M in Apple stock to make minimum wage in California, because it’s a shitty yield, but you need a lot less for other stocks!

    So @monospaced disproving dividends and jumping around saying they suck because he can’t afford to have a dividend portfolio is again - idiotic

    But sure sted, keeping defending monospaced from facts, I guess...

    p.s. in Eastern Europe we curse and “insult” people a lot while not taking it seriously - if you’re actually offended then that’s on you

    • https://www.qbn.com/…
      This is you shitposting on something i shared on qbn. My next post proves that nobody gets a 20% overall payday on dividends
      sted
    • QBN is full with your notes calling people on names that nobody is interested in, some here feel offended in addition to factual errors in your argument.sted
    • Last time you made a promise, nobody enforced anything on you since we all accept those written and unwritten conversation rules.sted
    • But you still manage to break that, and victimize yourself to justify your behavior.sted
    • No you're right, you and monospaced are fucking nutjobs, I'll ignore the fuck out of you next timegrafician
    • See those downvotes? That's your dividend.sted
    • Read again what I've posted, maybe you'll get it, no mature person behaves like you

    • The discussion was about dividends, if you don't have anything to add, byegrafician
    • The dividends Apple returns are so small they aren’t worth getting to excited about. That’s what I said before and it’s true.monospaced
    • It’s a “shitty yield “ as you stated. That’s all I was saying. I’m not wrong nor am I an idiot. I have collected dividends from Apple for a long time. Itmonospaced
    • Saying I don’t know much about something is insulting because it’s not true. Call names like a little euro bitch that’s fine but don’t insult my intelligence.monospaced
    • Thing is I’m not foolish. And YOU argued against my stated fact that the dicidends suck. I’m not wrong.monospaced
    • sure, you're just too poor to have a dividend portfolio, that's fine
      because the point was Warren wasn't poor and got a lot from Apple in dividends

    @sted mate you kinda resemble Elon Musk, he;s smart overall but very awkward and weird when he’s out of his lane...

    So FIRST of all if you’re trying to imply I was somehow referring to 20% yields in dividends you’re clearly mistaken

    To have that, you’d need a lot more than 7 stocks

    You need something like Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index(VHYAX) with hundreds of stocks in multiple categories, not only tech stocks

    SECOND, your numbers are obviously wrong, including the stock prices and dividends but even with those random numbers you get a 2,74% dividend yield on your “portfolio”

    good luck with that

    3RD you went on to add up some numbers for no reason without even reading the actual article linked which was about tech stocks that outperformed the market meaning overall 20% gains that also paid dividends it was right there in the title too “stocks to buy” here you go read it again: https://news.yahoo.com/7-best-te…

    And FINAL thing: STOP STALKING AND HARASSING go fucking learn how to draw, paint, design, do something creative, this is a creatives forum not fucking 4chan

    • Just one question: who the fuck are you again?sted
    • Apparently the man of your dreams, you seem to have it for me...grafician

    Stock Split Effected in Form of Stock Dividend (“Stock Split”)
    Alphabet today announced that the Board of Directors had approved and declared a 20-for-one stock split (the
    “Stock Split”) in the form of a one-time special stock dividend on each share of the Company’s Class A, Class B,
    and Class C stock. The Stock Split is subject to stockholder approval of an amendment to the Company’s Amended
    and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A, Class B, and
    Class C stock to accommodate the Stock Split.
    If approval is obtained, each of the Company’s stockholders of record at the close of business on July 1, 2022 (the
    “Record Date”), will receive, after the close of business on July 15, 2022, a dividend of 19 additional shares of the
    same class of stock for every share held by such stockholder as of the Record Date.
