My fellow exit-liquidity providers,
The market somehow opened today, which was the only surprise. A few stonks tossed the bag back and forth, one chip maker went up 89% because of actual chips, and a Korean student taught us all what leverage really means. Let’s get to the degeneration.
[SMCI]: Super Micro surged 15% after announcing a new order from SpaceX and disclosing margin guidance — though Elon Musk quickly denied the $52B server order report as false. One regard full-ported $360k into SMCI leaps days before the pump and is now sitting on something that looks like a gain — but “con teams up with MegaCon,” as one commenter put it.
[GOOGL]: Google earnings are this week with an implied move of 6.6%, and the sub can’t decide whether more AI capex is bullish or bearish. The consensus from the peanut gallery: Google announces capex increase = GOOG down; Google cuts capex = GOOG down. Meanwhile the whole world is waiting for ROI on AI spend so that both hyperscalers and suppliers can stop this regarded bifurcation.
[CRUDE OIL]: The US has 43 days of supply left, the Strait of Hormuz is shut, and yet investors are pricing oil at $71. As one degenerate pointed out, “it’s 43 days of supply at $71 — I’m sure there’s plenty more at $200.” External news confirms the Iran war’s big oil mystery is that nobody seems to want it — everything is fine.
[KOREAN STUDENT]: A Korean student who lost $200k on a 500% margin loan plans to borrow again and return to markets. WSB’s consensus: “He only loses when he stops.” The level of degeneracy here makes us look like children playing with Monopoly money — one commenter helpfully suggested $400k on 1000% margin to get back in one trade.
[UTZ]: Snack maker Utz surged 89% after agreeing to be taken private by Intersnack Group at $14.25 a share, a 90% premium to Friday’s close. Naturally, nobody on WSB owned it, but the thread was full of Voodoo Pretzel Stick enthusiasts wondering if chips are AI now.
[MU / DRAM]: The ADATA chairman warned that DRAM shortages will last another 10 years and told AI bubble talk to wait until 2040. The sub responded exactly as you’d expect — “the top is in,” “freak out and sell everything,” and a reminder that this is what shovel salesmen say during a gold rush. Meanwhile someone put their kid’s college fund on MU and only lost $2,800 — so community college it is.
[MRVL]: One brave soul turned 31k into 45k on MRVL calls with 3 days left and a target of $220. The comments are split between “cash out you fucking idiot” and “this is wallstreetbets, hold that shit.” No plan B, no wimp shit — just theta decay and a prayer.
[HOOD]: A poster noted that for the past two years, HOOD has run up 10-20% before every earnings and then tanked. Their genius trade: full port calls into earnings. One commenter warned that we’re in the dumping phase and should wait for the post-earnings drop, but that’s not how we roll.
[TSLA]: A bear is betting $24k that TSLA closes below $380 this week using call credit spreads, with plans to double it if the stock goes up tomorrow. The sub’s response: “No one ever loses money betting on TSLA” and “you picked the wrong earnings to short.”
[ACHR]: Archer Aviation got a fresh YOLO from someone who bought the good-news pop and is already being told to welcome to bag-holding. One commenter notes they sold before the pop and booked a loss — classic WSB timing.
[PARA / WBD]: A judge temporarily paused the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger, and the sub is loving it because every 90 days of delay costs Paramount $650 million. Free money for Netflix, as one puts it, while Larry Ellison’s leveraged buyout dreams hang by a thread.
[NVO / LLY]: Novo Nordisk sued Eli Lilly over “maliciously and deceptively false” GLP-1 ads, alleging Lilly compared higher doses of its drugs to lower doses of Wegovy. The sub’s favorite take: “2 fat bitches fightin over food.” External news confirms the GLP-1 ad war has officially spilled into court.
In summary, the market is a chaotic carnival where one guy lost his tent, another lost his kid’s semester at community college, and a Korean student showed us all what real conviction looks like. Stay limber for KOSPI session.
