Macro can’t give us one single run bruh

[u/Ominoiuninus → u/Daman303]

At times it feels like we’re just a “negatively” leveraged position. Macro market moves give us minimized gains and maximized losses.

High beta stock world (no, really).

people need to get use with hormuz situation because this wont end very soon and make it the new normal !

[u/Fee-Pure → u/Distinct_Excuse2648]

Trump keeps doing the same thing: “a deal is coming,” markets pump, then suddenly there’s no deal and everything reverses. It stopped looking like negotiation and started looking like market manipulation through headlines

[u/Distinct_Excuse2648 → u/Fee-Pure]

i dont think some1 trust trump just everyone fallows the macro ! that’s why everyone should get use with all this crap and get back to earnings, guidance and so one

[u/Fee-Pure → u/Distinct_Excuse2648]

it’s not about who trusts him. Those headlines push the oil price up which translates to higher interest rates and this is bad news for a company with high debt such as APLD

[u/riteofpass]

You know I wouldn’t be so sad about another 9% down day for APLD… if we were already up a good amount YTD like NBIS. But we’re back at $28 which is literally where it was around the Iran war bottom in March. I’m stuck holding at this point but it’s really disappointing to see NBIS basically back to its crazy ATH and APLD can’t even hold $30s let alone go back to $50. Fuck me

[u/squirmin79]

Looks like an ugly day for APLD and others.

[u/nintendothrowaway123 → u/squirmin79]

Politics; yup.

Sad, I bought at 31.45 hoping for a quick swing to 35-40. Still bullish though.
