BITF

Been picking up a bit of this in my 401k with some $$$ I want to track Bitcoin price. Its a Canadian Bitcoin mining company that has access to Hydro power in Canada and made a deal for $0.02 power in Argentina. They're one of the only publicly traded Bitcoin companies that isn't bending over backwards for ESG compliance, although they still almost exclusively use green energy for $$$ reasons. Companies like MARA are bowing to ESG and they will be punished for it long term IMO

Links spoilered below, price is in the good spot if you're into this sort of thing

Thought it may be worth a quick follow up on this. When I posted this BITF was $4.26. Today its $8.96. I plan to hold long term with this one but a nice gain if you happened to grab some

Anyone going to throw money away.... I mean buy RIVN IPO today?

"The IPO comes as Rivian delivered its first vehicles, mostly to its own employees, just a couple of months ago. It will only produce about 1,200 units by year-end at its plant in Normal, Illinois. The company, which lost nearly $1 billion in the first half of the year, estimates that annual production will hit 150,000 vehicles at its main facility by late 2023.

Based on the share count, Rivian is being valued at about $76.4 billion on a fully diluted basis that accounts for stock options. That compares with a valuation of $27.6 billion after a $2.65 billion funding round in January, Bloomberg News previously reported. "

From 1200 units to 150,000 in 24 months?

Looking like a pretty standard reaction to shitty inflation numbers. Money leaving tech and moving in to staples/industrials/etc so far this morning.
CVS, T, VZ, UNP, etc higher on the morning.

Looks like politics will be forcing the hand of the fed. Exactly what everyone was afraid of. Kneejerk reactions to inflation.

SPIR reports earnings after the bell. This is not "investing advice" but the stock is 100% shorted with a miniscule float and they report earnings after the bell tonight. Average analyst price is $12 and its currently at $5.25 due to shorts. If it pops to the upside it could create a nice squeeze. Disclosure: I own it and have additional puts out on it. It could also end up a flop like TRIT. Good luck and Godspeed.

Interested to see what they can actually do. As I understand it the only lever they still have is a rate hike, and that would likely cascade $1.4 Quadrillion in levered derivatives. I'm not even confident they could fully taper. Its too complicated for me to totally wrap my head around though.

It's weird that stuff costs more than when the entire world was shut down. Even 2-3 years of inflation is still better than 5-6 years of recession.

The business media's freak-out over rising wages is just globalist FUD. Remember that we're not supposed to trust the fake news media?

The reason the FED (and us) are fucked is that raising interest rates raises the gubmints borrowing costs. The FED isnt holding back because of us pleebs. The Trillions of excess spending cant handle higher interest rates.

Uhh it is a huge problem. Inflation isnt evenly spread across the economy all at once. Your business is fucked if youre stuck having to pay higher wages(think how most workers arent skill locked to a specific industry so your coder can go just about anywhere) thanks to inflation but cant also increase your costs because inflation hasnt hit your specific industry.

Just another mechanism that further concentrates economic power in the hands of a few.

There's a number being floated around that says all of the world's governments have printed so much money. Something like an extra 50T in the system, than before covid. Combine that with labor shortages, chip shortages, supply chain issues, and here we are. Hell, I've had to raise what I'm paying CDL truckers by 25% YOY.
