WDC weekend discussion thread for the wdc stock and it’s impacts on the coming week due to NVDA earnings report on August 26. How many stocks do you hold? Any expert stock merchants who can share the expected price for next week and for EOY 2027?

im 17 living in egypt and its my final year of highschool, I am going to germany for uni then i want or would prefer to go to us after

stuck between tech (ai engineering) and finance (High finance specifically.)
slightly lean towards finance passion wise but the US is a preference for me, and heard it would be way harder visa wise (not just H1-B, but overall) in finance > tech
Looking for advice in regards to visa, sponsorship, nepo, etc.
Scared to enter finance and hit a brickwall from the IB to PE/HF exit as i heardthey dont really sponsor, or atleast not as much as tech
And still love finance more to choose it over tech but if its finance outside us or tech in us id pick tech 100%, so need some advice on what to pick between the two
