The weekly bollinger bands on GME have expanded upward 3 times before thanks to RC and DFV hype. While RC has been buying like a mad man, a 4th weekly upward expansion has just begun. Zoomed in. The monthly bollinger bands have upwardly expanded only twice before. I will be watching to see if this weekly expansion begins a monthly expansion. Everyone seems to be well aware of the massive wedge given all the triangle drawings lately. What isn't being discussed is the weekly bollinger bands expansion could coincide with an upward breakout of a 5 Year Wedge. This could be meaningless nothing lines on a chart. This could really be something special... we'll see what happens." ### Discussion #4 by @insiderwave > **Author:** [@insiderwave](https://x.com/insiderwave) > **Metrics:** 70 likes · 5 retweets · 3 comments · 13.1K views > **Posted:** 2026-10-01T17:22:16+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/insiderwave/status/2105709898398847061](https://x.com/insiderwave/status/2105709898398847061) > **Visual Context:** Donald Trump gestures on stage at an event promoting "Trump Accounts," a new savings program unveiled under the banner "Jumpstart the American Dream," with the website TrumpAccounts.gov displayed prominently on the backdrop.

I've seen a number of posts/comments about how companies could crush estimates so handily and not pop on the news, so I figured I'd post a quick explainer with mechanics, since I just went through the numbers. Micron printed $54.2B revenue vs ~$51.1B consensus, $33.42 EPS vs ~$31.61, 87% gross margin, and guided next quarter to $61.5B vs ~$57B expected. These estimates were in line to my expectations as of June, though I had since updated them prior to the Q4 release." ### Discussion #8 by @kerimcalender > **Author:** [@kerimcalender](https://x.com/kerimcalender) > **Metrics:** 14 likes · 1 retweets · 0 comments · 4.1K views > **Posted:** 2026-10-01T17:40:57+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/kerimcalender/status/2105714597667676498](https://x.com/kerimcalender/status/2105714597667676498) > > "Fed/Jefferson -Bir sonraki faiz hamlesini kararlaştırmak için daha fazla zamana ihtiyaç duyabiliriz. -Gelecekteki faiz oranı değişiklikleri verileri dikkate almalıdır. -Fed, enflasyonu %2 hedefine döndürme konusunda tam bağlılık gösteriyor. -Daha fazla veri, Fed'in faizler" ### Discussion #9 by @Mr_Derivatives > **Author:** [@Mr_Derivatives](https://x.com/Mr_Derivatives) > **Metrics:** 29 likes · 0 retweets · 5 comments · 4.0K views > **Posted:** 2026-10-01T17:47:36+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/Mr_Derivatives/status/2105716273212760082](https://x.com/Mr_Derivatives/status/2105716273212760082) > > "Look at this intraday move off the lows." ### Discussion #10 by @bianji01 > **Author:** [@bianji01](https://x.com/bianji01) > **Metrics:** 1 likes · 0 retweets · 1 comments · 3.3K views > **Posted:** 2026-10-01T17:18:16+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/bianji01/status/2105708890885378480](https://x.com/bianji01/status/2105708890885378480) > > "Other disks just copy one sentence.

I thought I was comfortable with my portfolio, which is a fairly standard mix of stock index funds and bond funds (68/32 stocks to bonds/cash), but I have found that I’m stressing about the 10 year time horizon now that it’s here. With stock valuations and all of the other negative news, I fear a lost decade or major correction, etc. I have around 700k in a 401k, and I am considering this: buying around 600k in strips or zero treasury bonds at 5+% and investing the balance in a no/low cost s&p index fund available within my 401k. All future contributions would go into the 68/32 mix described above for longer term investing during retirement. The strips will be 1mil in 10 years and the balance plus future contributions could be another 500k. Along with 6k per month in SS (combined with my wife’s) the million at a 4% withdrawal rate should provide enough to cover COL comfortably. My main question is, what are the downsides to buying the strips given the historically high yields?" ### Discussion #42 by @Lt8py > **Author:** [@Lt8py](https://x.com/Lt8py) > **Metrics:** 2 likes · 0 retweets · 2 comments · 229 views > **Posted:** 2026-10-01T17:27:04+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/Lt8py/status/2105711105423319207](https://x.com/Lt8py/status/2105711105423319207) > > "哎呀妈呀 这咋算钱啊 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈" ### Discussion #43 by @wilplatypus > **Author:** [@wilplatypus](https://x.com/wilplatypus) > **Metrics:** 5 likes · 1 retweets · 1 comments · 216 views > **Posted:** 2026-10-01T17:21:32+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/wilplatypus/status/2105709714344747046](https://x.com/wilplatypus/status/2105709714344747046) > > "The more obituaries you read the less clear buying anything becomes" ### Discussion #44 by @LumidaWealth > **Author:** [@LumidaWealth](https://x.com/LumidaWealth) > **Metrics:** 1 likes · 0 retweets · 2 comments · 209 views > **Posted:** 2026-10-01T17:01:52+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/LumidaWealth/status/2105704762356425111](https://x.com/LumidaWealth/status/2105704762356425111) > > "SAMI BADRI: THE HYPERSCALERS HAVE ALWAYS DONE THIS.

Funny enough, Javier Milei used to work for CAAP. Basically, they all operate airports. My favorite is ASR, which operates the Cancun International Airport, several others in Southeastern Mexico, a couple in Colombia, one in Puerto Rico, and they just recently bought a portfolio of something like 17 airport leases in broader LATAM.

So here's what I know: NextEra was accused of misleading investors about alleged covert political spending tied to Florida Power & Light and the legal and reputational risks that came with it. After the company disclosed those risks in 2023, the stock fell 8.7%, and investors filed a lawsuit. Now NextEra has agreed to a $150 million settlement for affected investors. Who can claim this settlement?
