I'm kind of surprised they were still spending on it at all in a material way.

Wonder what the activity level is in there?

Edit: Gemini says the number may be as low as 900 people a day are active in Meta's metaverse.

Roblox does well though with 55 million dau's.
What a colossal spending blunder…imagine if Zuckerberg pivoted to AI instead of metaverse….stock would probably be over $1K just based on hype alone.

"Snowflake (SNOW) is expecting a lower operating margin in the upcoming quarter primarily due to
heavy investments in AI capabilities and offering discounts on large, long-term deals. The company anticipates an adjusted operating margin of around 7%, which is below the 8.5% analysts had projected"

AI search is the shiz.
I can’t get the software companies right and always seem to get crushed on a terrible quarter, take a loss, then look 12 months later and stock is flying high. I suspect it’s largely due to enterprise sales cycles which are all over the place these days, not to mention companies playing games with recognizing revenue in certain quarters and delaying or accelerating contracts to help the books.

on that note, anyone check out CXM?

Whether technically metaverse or not, Roblox is essentially a gaming system for kids.

BBAI up 13% to 6.95, well in the black again. I need to thank the poster who first brought this stock to my attention in this thread (can’t remember who it was). This will be my fourth profitable trade in this range since July.

RIVN looking good. Has broken the downward trend, and has an 18 month upward trend in place.

$18, exactly where it closed today, was a big spike early in this current upward trend. So that looks to be a level.

I’ve been adding all along the way. It’s sneaky a big position for me. Average cost around $11. I should probably trim but have wanted to wait to the next roll out all along

Are you still in on S? The chart has been crap for the past few years, but maybe a turnaround is coming soon (or maybe a candidate for consolidation).

SentinelOne — Cybersecurity provider SentinelOne saw its shares fall about 9% after saying its fourth-quarter revenue would be $271 million, below analysts’ expectations of $273 million, LSEG data shows. The company forecasted full-year revenue of $1 billion, matching estimates. SentinelOne’s third-quarter results beat consensus estimates.

These cybersecurity stocks have not performed well other than a select few, which is odd in an era of data/AI. Guessing a lot of the money that usually flows into cyber was going to AI companies instead. I recently sold my BUG ETF after getting impatient and watching it nose-dive. However CRWD is still a large long term position for me.

I'm in CRWD and PANW (both long-holds), but would be happy to take a flyer on a 3rd. I was eyeing CyberArk for a while.....until PANW scooped it up.

Ya, took a huge dump on the earnings.

I dunno, 20% growth and 5x rev's seems like a great combo. But it just keeps dropping.

Good thing I had IOT popping to balance it out.

What did he do? :)
Regardless, this MoFo has made a lot of people a lot of money (including me!).
I mean…he lost a lot of people a lot of money, while helping the system win over the little guy. Literally the opposite of “robinhood.” Other than that he’s the bees knees

Oh that. Otherwise, he's pretty cool. :)

BTW, still not liking the price action of BTC.

I’m no expert but charts seems to indicate BTC selling is tied to gold and precious metals buying. If in fact certain whales have been rotating out of BTC in favor of gold it would be the heist of the century, especially with where gold prices are. Or if gold is being driven by central banks it’s interesting that China, Russia, and India wouldn’t buy BTC instead.

Central banks buying BTC? How about ETH? Maybe they should give Fartcoin a whirl for kicks!?

@T2Kplus20 , I had mentioned GPCR not too long ago as a pharma company that was close to an oral GLP-1 weight loss drug. Well its clinical trials have been positive. Today the price doubles to $68, had hit a high of $94 earlier. Now the price target is $120. gonna watch it closely today and probably take profits. My cost basis is under $30.

Wow, well done! That's the power of biotech/pharma. I have my fingers crossed on MIST. Already up 60-70% with approval pending later this week.
