Pacw which merged with Cali bank had far worse assets than NYCB or Signature banks assets that went to nycb.

I think that's what happens transitioning from 1st world to 2nd world. Plenty of stats of seen are showing people are moving to the upper class. Then I question whether money is worth so much less if anything has really changed? All that increase in income increases income tax too.

Idk what is going on but I know when folks see the stock where they bank at dropping 20% per day, day after day they may move their money to another bank then one more press release of “depositor flight in the ## Billion range” and poof the bank has a liquidity crisis causing more deposit flight then things get even worse and eventually insolvency. After seeing almost the exact same charts as FRC last March I think this is what is happening but who knows maybe it’ll go up huge tomorrow (I hope not since I’m still hodling poot)

nycb is getting crushed after hours

seems like clock is ticking till federal regulators close it down


KRE is not flagging like it did last year March when there was spill over to other regional banks.

Right now is just bad NYCB management that is about to be out of job / and JPM will pick up NYCB for few bucks.




moody's still in business?

I made a good amount on the old Aphria (APHA) then the rest of the shares I held onto switched to TLRY (bought out) now I've been waiting for this chit to pop for a few years

Made decent profits off ACB too but the rest of the shares I had dropped about 98% LOL

Nonetheless that was a very exciting time..I still remember being up 650% and seeing 18k profit almost had a heart attack

Hell no, I did make some solid gains with CGC (was WEED originally) and APH though. Portfolio was up and down 10-20% per day back then lol. Held through the Aphria short report and sold shortly after and got an investment property.

It's exciting to know the same could be happening all over again with US MSO's - with the insight we have from last time instead of just YOLO and getting lucky.

For those unaware, lots of rumors of rescheduling ATM. MSOS is the ETF ticker and TCNNF is the lead bull in the sector as of the last couple weeks with Florida legalization also on the table.

Nycb halted. Wonder how low it’ll go today. It was trading above $4.20 premarket which is odd.

Edit: bought 10 BANC $10p for April at $32 each. I might average down on nycb calls only 1 year out. Haven’t decided yet.

Bought some TSLA 3/8 puts yesterday.........looks like the market knew and decided to reverse. FML

Bought some PLTR 3/1 puts yesterday......assuming this jump is just a couple week thing then it will settle down closer to $18/$19. We'll see how that plays out.

Might have dun goofed.....but apparently I like to just throw my $ away.

BANC IV super low for a regional bank. Got the ones above and June $7.5p for $20 each.

I’m nervous about NYCB because no insiders have bought… not a good look when they lost their audit and risk chiefs.

what else can you say?

AI is the new thing.


I am just glad to be flat, was trying to short this market last month got stopped out and letting market show something.


Don't have the edge to long this market here.

Since October 2023 its been +900 point rally.

Unprecedented rally from hell, that won't stop.

I think all it means is that there’s still too many dollars floating around. No pain yet.

Only if you in semiconductor and AI stocks.

Money is being thrown at it like the next big bubble is upon us.

I don't think everyone was long enough AI stocks so they are pissed about it and chasing any dip at all costs.

Earnings are living up to the hype atm.

NVDA sell side reports from big banks it goes like...(sounds like fantasy numbers lolz like house of cards really)

NVDA

2023 59B revenue
2024 100B revenue
2025 110B revenue
2026 150B revenue

watching patterns with some earnings yea last few days prior they get priced in... then sharp downturn like pypl or others recently

missed my chance to sell @ nvidia 705, now it's at 700. next climb up i'm going to sell and take a breather and figure things out from there.
