Markets may start become more sensitive to changes in the polls post Labor Day, although this week election trades are fighting NFPs and Wallers outlook – so keeping tactical capital until at least after the 1st live debate, perhaps even end of Sept seems more likely. https://preview.redd.it/ugylvhail5md1.png?width=1710&format=png&auto=webp&s=c1335b38590ed3110aa9587bd47497f6920ccd7b submitted by /u/XGramatik [link] [comments]

Too many local battles are flaring up over freedom of speech. Telegram has its own battle, Twitter has its own. Or are these ultimately the same battles? Twitter meme: Alexander de Voldemort and Elon Potter fighting an epic battle for freedom of speech in Brazil.

The U.S. Pending Home Sales Index dropped by 5.5% in July compared to the previous month, reaching its lowest level ever recorded. It’s hard to imagine housing affordability getting worse than it is now. Is this a problem for you?
The Index of Pending Contracts for Existing Homes fell to 70.2, falling short of all expectations. According to the National Association of Realtors, sales declined across all four U.S. regions, with the largest drops in the Midwest and South. Even though mortgage rates are at their lowest level in the past 15 months, limited inventory and record prices are constraining demand. Contract activity has been declining for over two years and is now below the levels seen during the 2020 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. https://preview.redd.it/311squ2up5md1.png?width=861&format=png&auto=webp&s=706fbb0082fd8cad6f5e516a1f09d04f2dcb87ef submitted by /u/XGramatik [link] [comments]

Musk and Durov are facing the revenge of the regulators?
Governments are becoming more inclined to enforce strict regulations on social media platforms and their leaders, signaling a departure from the previously hands-off approach that allowed these companies to operate with minimal oversight. Key points of the article: Increased regulatory action: Governments are taking stronger measures against tech companies and their leaders. End of an era: The period of minimal government interference in tech companies’ operations is ending. Contrasting perspectives: The actions are seen either as necessary regulation or potential threats to free speech. Specific cases: France indicted Telegram’s CEO Pavel Durov on various charges. Brazil ordered the suspension of Elon Musk’s X for defying local regulations. The U.S. passed a law that could lead to TikTok’s ban. Complex motivations: Government actions are driven by concerns over misinformation, illegal activities, and national security. Potential consequences: These actions may impact online privacy tools and legitimate forms of online expression. Shifting dynamics: Tech leaders now face more scrutiny and potential legal consequences for their platforms’ content and operations. And here comes a question: Do you think tech leaders like Elon Musk and Pavel Durov are genuinely fighting for free speech, or are they primarily protecting their business interests? submitted by /u/Aftermebuddy [link] [comments]

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has surpassed a $1 trillion valuation, now just a few hundred million short of Bitcoin’s market cap.
The minor difference between Berkshire Hathaway’s and Bitcoin’s year-to-date returns illustrates an interesting point. Despite Warren Buffett’s well-known aversion to cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin “rat poison,” his investment strategy has pretty much matched Bitcoin’s performance in 2024. https://preview.redd.it/kls5fjoujyld1.png?width=965&format=png&auto=webp&s=75ae825ce0644c6a90263c9ac8bd4cb84d213c5b submitted by /u/Lor1al [link] [comments]
Will the SOL token’s history with SUN repeat itself?
Justin Sun, the founder of TRX, announced on the social network X his intention to buy back the $SUN meme token at $0.03. Considering that a price drop below this level could undermine the credibility of the SunPump meme launch platform and the TRX network in general. Interestingly, this message is reminiscent of a three-year-old tweet from Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the FTX exchange. Then Bankman-Fried announced his readiness to buy any number of $SOL tokens at a price of $3. After this announcement, $SOL experienced a “revival” and demonstrated an impressive price increase. https://preview.redd.it/zmahc8l87vld1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=05ebefa629738bc5c876434e7c7e3ddd7e8c2bca submitted by /u/dll_crypto [link] [comments]

Yahoo/finance: The Supreme Federal Court posted an order at 8:31 p.m. local time Wednesday night and on X ordering the service to name a legal representative in Brazil within 24 hours, “under penalty of suspension of activities in Brazil.” Anyone using VPN is subject to fines up to $8,874 a day
Elon Musk threatened a top judge in Brazil after the country’s highest court said it could block his social media website, X, if it didn’t appoint a local legal representative by Thursday night. Musk responded to the top court’s ultimatum with a seemingly AI-generated image of a supreme court justice who has been spearheading efforts in Brazil to crack down on hate speech and misinformation. The image, which showed the justice, Alexandre de Moraes, behind bars, was accompanied by a threatening message that tagged him. “One day, u/Alexandre, this picture of you in prison will be real.

Most financial mistakes happen when you want something to happen faster than it should. Compound interest works differently. You need years. Years without a crash. There are no cheat codes. Accept it. To quote Buffett again: nobody wants to get rich slowly. But you will have to.

CNBC: Intel is working with bankers to present board with strategic options to help fix its flagging businesses.
The company has been hampered by longtime problems and more recent missteps, and announced earlier this year it would lay off thousands of employees. CEO Pat Gelsinger has laid out plans to mount an ambitious turnaround at the chipmaker, which has largely been left out of the artificial intelligence boom. CNBC previously reported that some advisors, including Morgan Stanley, were helping the company on activism defense. Intel remains on track to launch its next iteration of its laptop central processor, Lunar Lake, Gelsinger said at the appearance. But investors don’t see a turnaround on the horizon, and have pushed the stock down almost 60% this year. submitted by /u/Ankle_be [link] [comments]
