It's interesting to see how many people I know that are basically given an ultimatum. Get vaccinated or lose their jobs.
Yet, I work at a medical facility, my sister works at another. Neither are requiring vaccinations. I'd assume there's some sort of liability without an FDA approval? Not sure.

Pretty sure it would be bullish for oil & gas too because I think true autonomy would make long drives much easier and create a lot more demand until electric vehicles constitute a bigger portion of cars on the road, which is many years away, but that's not happening.

Brahs! Got a call on Friday from a large renewable energy developer I interviewed with for a quantitative analyst position and they said I would likely be getting an offer next week… they wanted to confirm my starting salary
I’d be reviewing energy market forecasts put together by consultants and building financial models to determine if the generation projects (wind/solar/batteries) would be profitable to build or not and making recommendations for management. Feels good man hehe

Waiting on calls back myself seems to be GETTING a lot of interest but not to much yet only been a few days though but per the website I am in the top 17% and top 7% in terms of interest for being hired no idea how accurate that is but FEELS good, Hehe. Haven't even got my certification yet but still listed it SALARIES are a lot better for lower less skilled positions as well compared to what I thought virtually no pay cut or even a pay raise LOL gonna be interesting when I retake my exam and become certified in a few months with a bit of experience SRS. Even qualified for some of the higher skilled jobs as well which was surprising considering no certification yet READ the responsibilities and even a BABY could do it so I figured no reason why I could with EVERYTHING I learned. Feels good.
What are they offering…?!

Many magazines/journalist already have them ahead than Tesla in that phase on highway portion.
Imo to me all I need on long drives on highway is cruise control and light auto steer if I get out of lane on long drives from boredom.
No matter how good the tech gets in future I will never ever use it in city (any type of full driving assist) and this is not just Tesla knock.
Zero interest. No matter who makes it.
Level 5 is so far away its not even funny.
Since this is investing thread that FSD success does matter on Tesla stock so obviously this is not good that they keep saying soon and soon but they can't deliver shiit on that front.
Like Cathie saying that tesla robo taxis by 2023.

Hoping to get some tuition reimbursement when the time comes for me to be in a similar situation as you thankfully I can rely on certs for the next 3-4 jobs and will probably max out at 180k before I will really need a degree because next step would be project manager / director and I know they would probably want me to have AT LEAST a bachelors for that and WILLING to get it if they PAY, Hehe. Really would like them to send me over seas as well so IDEALLY fortune 500 would be best for me which I have plenty off just gotta get my foot in the door an some experience and life should be on EASY mode not counting my extra CURRICULARS.

Its been a good run, and maybe once the threat of "Get the vax or have your life ruined" is over, i'll dump it all back into index funds, 10k a month until its all back in.

That is to say, people have already taken profits and now looking into the next promising sectors to ride.

Anybody know what these reverse repo's that the fed is doing?
Keep reading that they're upping them by huge amounts. Is that a way to take money out of the market to try and quell inflation?

Do you oil and gas guys have any insight on oil being a renewable resource? I have never heard about this theory until a few days ago. These are the two best write ups I could find, not much info.

Anyone got insight on Chinese companies? Trying to decide if I cut my 20% loss on a couple of BABA shares I've got or if I should bother staying the course with all the regulation shyt their government is forcing down on their private sector. I was pretty Hyped with the amount of ANT that BABA was holding, but now it is just a giant cluster

Looks like CHYNA is unloading their used GPUs from crypto mining onto the used market, driving down prices.
It took about 9 months for NVDA shares to crash (2018) after the last crypto-related GPU unloading. Cash is ready….

I've only got 6 shares of baba so it isn't that painful to dump and move into something useful… just trying to decide if patience is worthwhile. Doesn't seem like it tbh.
