#662033 — Re: yeah, only in your dreams [dead cat bounce] (Re: Money Money :-)

Hi,

Today I had the idea to buy the USA dip,
like buying a little NASDAQ stocks or something.

But then I read about the closing of the department
of education, which was distributing 30 billion PELL
GRANTS, which is around 150 USD wealth

redistribution per capita. So I think USA is fucked,
and it will only get worse and worse. Mostlikely
the timeing is bad taking other seasonal effects

into account, and 2025 will not recover. Thats my
hypothesis, since month May is too near already.

Bye

P.S.: So stocks showed a small recovery, but this
is most likely a dead cat bounce:

On the other hand, if stocks keep losing value, at some point people 
will sell them and buy crypto with the money. I don't think crypto will 
ever keep going down in value. It either stays more or less the same, or 
it grows.

In bad times, crypto is the answer.

The university system is itself fucked anyway. It is grossly unfair to 
the students. As I've repeatedly explained here, "students" must be paid 
good money to just study. The money should come either from businesses 
or the government. It must be an _employment.

Also the degree system is too old. It is idiotic. Full of defects and 
features that make no sense.

Business or government "students" would study and go through their 
curricula while getting paid like a good job, and eventually (if they 
manage it) get fine-tuned clearly understandable certificates showing 
what that employee can do.

Scholarships are there. University is there for social snob reasons and
if you pass, a stamp for getting more stamps. Then you can make money.
The Indian Navy paid the fees for the students they selected. Pioneers,
what.

No, you didn't get the gist of what I'm saying (what a surprise).

Scholarships are genera help, like charity. What I say a "student" must 
get is _employment_ payments backed by employment laws. Studying is a 
serious EMPLOYMENT. It is crazy that crooks expect students not only not 
get paid, but pay for their studies as well!.. That's another pure 
Jewish scheme which is still being practiced.

You first get _employed_, and only then study the material that your 
employer (businesses and/or government) provides. There's no other way 
around this that does not amount to fraudulent money schemes.

You generally talk senseless crap, Roachie, amusing though in its way.

No. Those getting charity get so from empathy. Scholarships are to
support the meritorious who are also poor.

You never got any employment, Roachie. So you don't know how much any
employee has to study to keep his job if it is worth keeping. With or
without company help. Yes if he is employed, part time study is
feasible. Arindam did his MTech working full time.

If studies are too expensive and your pop ain't rich do cheap
correspondence courses. Why pay tons unless you get scholarships or work
your way! Anyway internet should make universities and the horrid
professors obsolete.

Best is mutual self-help, study circles, coaching, employer originated
training, apprenticeship, etc. One major effort must be to attack those
putting out fake news.

Who wants to employ useless roaches like you, Roachie? University degree
gives a stamp vital for recruitment. Better than that is for the
employer to catch them young and fund them for higher education with a
bond, while getting work out if them.

Point is that certification from companies have less worth than uni
degrees. Which is why the uni market remains hot.

Point is, "Roachie" is probably an unregistered foreign agent.

He's "employed" alright -- by Iran.

Point. Did not notice it.

Well if this is a Linux group may I ask about how to install it on

done in the 90s
A FAQ could help.

If you have Windows 11, you can install "Windows Subsystem for Linux",
which lets you easily run Linux on Windows in a virtual machine.

Give it a google.  And the nn(1) newsreader is in Ubuntu, so that's
the distribution you'll probably want to install.

Trump _has_ fucked up the market here, hasn't he. Now even I, an 
essentially optimistic guy, believe that.

I'm sensing it because XRP had already found its stable value around 
$2.50 after climbing down from above $3. It would only linger there, or 
move up depending on more or less normal events. But that's not been 
happening in the past 2 weeks. It is gradually going down, which is very 
strange for a crypto.

Ordinary stocks sure, any damn thing happens to them in good and bad 
times, but cryptos in normal times are either staying where they belong 
or gradually moving up in value.

For XRP it's not that bad though, yet.

Microsoft stock is a convenient way to see how things are generally for 
stocks. Wasn't it $450 just a couple of months back? Even more 
sometimes. I think I remember seeing $480 once. It is $374 now. 
Microsoft is not supposed to behave that way. The only time in its 
history it fell like that was when Ukraine war began.

So what Trump is doing to the Americans has had the same effect as Putin 
created for the Americans by starting the war with Ukraine.

Well, that steady drop for Microsoft only lasted about 7 months (it took 
that long to become evident what Russia wants to do and what Russia 
doesn't want to do), then it was business as usual. A gradual, steady, 
rise like always. But there's no telling how long Trump's schemes will 
keep fucking up the market. No idea where the "support" level, so to 
speak, for Microsoft will be, the point at which it'll bounce back up. 
End of Trump's term?

So no wonder nobody is buying much right now even with rare nice lows 
for just about any stock or crypto.

That's when the strategy changes :) If not in cryptos, in stocks trading 
there are ways to make money even in these bad times :-) Haalaloolah baby!

But old strategy still works for Crypto of course. Ten cents jump in XRP 
up, early this morning. Did any of you Bozos take advantage of it? Hehe :)

A lot of people did, cause it kind of gradually went back down. People 
sold their XRPs with profits less than ten cents per coin in significant 
enough volumes to get the price back down again. Even 5 cents per coin 
makes a lot of money if you have a lot of XRP under your belt.

I made just $172 using a portion of my XRP coins. So I know those who 
have many many XRP coins are making much much more than this in just a 
few hours.

But I lost a couple of precious sleep hours over that lousy $172 and 
feel like crap today (the jump happened around 3 am). If I hit the sack 
it'll ruin my circadian rhythm so I have to just forge on, and today is 
a busy day, it is Tuesday, Senior Citizens day in the thrift store :) 
Need to get a monitor and a mouse, and a couple of keyboards.

There's something in tomcats' urine that defies every measure made in 
electronics to protect them against it. Designers can get the bugs 
outside of them (with great effort), but they cannot do much against cat 
urine. It has a way to ooze into just about anything and around anything 
and reach the sensitive electronics boards. It takes a long time to dry, 
weeks, and when it dries at last, it become harder than fucking diamond 
it seems. Then its chemical effects begin on whatever it is they're 
sitting on! Amazing..

Microsoft is $360 today .. Hehe :-) The safest spot on the expanse of 
stock trading in the world has gone about 25% down in value in just a 
couple of weeks.

And this is where XRP has increased its value today by 4%. That's what 
I'm talking about baby!

Crypto is here for a reason.

XRP and other main crypto have gone lower. I think the whales are 
tricking you into selling. I would not sell one coin of course.

The worse it gets, the better haven crypto becomes for your money. So I
