I open up the S-1 and lo and behold, what do I see? For the first six months of 2026, Anthropic had a modest operating loss of $693 million paired with an absolutely massive book loss of more than $72 billion.

So I ask myself, how can this be?

Why, as always, the simplest explanation is the best. They're one of us. I mean, how the hell do you lose $72b like this in 6 months if you're not on WSB. They probably shorted oil or loaded up on gourd futures, or some stupid shit like that. And you know where they got the idea to do it.

Mods, if you're seeing this, I have a plan to make Anthropic investable. We just need to find their wsb account and ban it.

My all-time chart is still green... but only by a fraction of this amount

Oct 26 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms (META.O)
, on Monday launched public offerings of about $35 billion in common ‌stock and convertible preferred stock, as the Facebook parent seeks to finance its costly AI expansion.
The social media company also said it plans to launch ⁠a separate at-the-market share sale program of up to $60 billion after its new non-voting Class C shares begin trading, which is expected in the first quarter of 2027.

I’d love to say it was 0dte that got me. Unfortunately it was a series of bad fuck ups. Buying high - selling low. Getting stopped out of options that didn’t expire for 6 months, all of which rebounded and went +50 to 150%. Yep just a bunch of dumb fuckery. From precious metals to flying cars and fake money, I traded it all. Pull the ripcord on me boys, I think I’m done.

Hi there, Im 30 YO male, got laid off last year because of AI.

I also moved to live alone with my dog in a single room apartment.

I thought I could win big with high beta stocks, didnt sell in May.

hope new year rally will ease the loses.

anyway, keeping up with positive vibes cause stocks always go up right?

edit: typo "laid"

Found out about options around June this year and lost $20k in a week on 0dte. Finally green after 4 months of degeneracy. Don’t you just love gambling?

It’s been 3 years since I had to tell my wife, parents, and in laws….

Friends, fellow church volunteers, etc…. About how I was the downfall of my families financial future.

I got caught up in the post GameStop hype, and stayed for the ride.

Rode every loss with… as long as I can make my minimums, most people have debt and I have none so what’s a few delayed credit card payments.

The irony is my chart doesn’t even show my up time. I was up ~ $40k when GameStop announced a stock split over a year after the crazy boom, but now the time line doesn’t even show the spike beating my downhill spiral. By shear dumb luck I was up $40k with a total account of $60k. I even bragged. In a week after I was below $5k in total value.

From there. Delayed every payment and made the minimums cause I knew my day would come. But it never did, or was never substantial enough to bail me out of what I had done. Over $159k in losses to the market financed on delayed credit card payments left me with no choice but to sell our home, which helped clear a lot, but it’s still being paid down

I still have the wife and kids, I still have family that supports me. I recently went to NYC and wanted a picture with the bull when I know the market nearly ruined my life and has changed me forever…

And even so, I had a great time in the threads, and it pushed my out of necessity into a broader career path I like cause I needed better income to stave off my incredible interest payments.

The debt is nearly paid off, the new journey is ahead. And I’ve even been able to play a little and start to get out while I’m ahead.

Be careful, be willing to lose anything you put in. And always remember that JPOW was taken from us too soon, and mostly remember. There are people in your life who love you and need you, so get your bag, share the gains and losses, but don’t sacrifice yourself in the journey.

Edit:

To those who don’t understand charts…

I’ve essentially at worst put in $160k into the market and lost it. Since then, I’ve clawed it back to -110k into losses. So I’ve “made 50k from my lowest point.”

None of this was margin, none of this is margin call. This is financing future gains on credit cards by putting more of my paycheck into the market than my bills, doing the minimums but drowning in overall.

What the -110k and .29c means is that. I’m not in anything right now. If I “made money” aka am up from my lowest, it’s been taken out to get out of debt but it’s a crawl.

Maybe I’ll hit the market again later.

Meta kicked off that fundraising process on Monday with a plan to raise $35bn in underwritten public equity offerings. It also plans to raise a further $60bn via an “at the market” programme.

CART is my 3rd largest position and I noticed it went up ~23% in the last two trading days. I heard the rumors on Friday that CART was seeking buyers, today near close it was reported DASH is in late stage talks to buy for $17B. Potentially closing the deal this week.

I’m surprised I haven’t seen any other posts here. As a shareholder of CART I’m a bit disappointed, I was pretty bullish and it was trading so cheap that I was expecting pretty huge returns over the next 5-10yrs. If $17B is correct I’ll still be up about 60% over 15 months ish, which is fine.

I also own DASH, albeit a much smaller position. I’m conflicted on my thoughts here, everyone thought DASH could just enter grocery delivery and eat CARTs lunch. I didn’t believe it would be that easy, which is why I had so much CART, but I’m still pretty surprised they’re buying CART for so much. I still think CART is cheap so I guess they’re getting a bargain while trading at a higher valuation, so potentially it’ll be a big value add. DASH is trading down -13% over the last couple trading days, which happens to be very close to a $17B decrease in market cap kinda sus.

What’re yalls thoughts?

Edit: position

It is potentially going to be a rocky week where every signal matters. Everyone's worried about AI bubbles, interest rates, inflation. I spent this afternoon looking at perhaps an understated correlation: what happens to the S&P 500 after a Grand Theft Auto release?

I may have uncovered the single greatest bullish indicator for the next cycle. First, let’s analyze the data:

S&P 500 returns between every major GTA release:

These are already extraordinary returns. Five of seven GTA releases have produced positive market returns; and every single release since Vice City has indicated S&P gains!

But the data gets even more interesting. GTA2 and GTA3 produced negative S&P returns. What can we find? Both featured protagonists named Claude. Remove Claude from the games and each GTA release has a 100% success rate producing positive market returns. GTA VI features Jason and Lucia, but no Claudes. It remains to be seen if somehow Anthropic Claude manages to confuse traders and breaks this support pattern.

Now you might also think: orrelation does not imply causation. So in the interest of scientific rigour I investigated whether the stock market begins rallying before Rockstar announces the next GTA, or whether the announcement itself is required to unlock the gains. Put simply - do we need the presence of a next GTA release to start the bull cycle again.

The data here is more mixed:

The GTA IV → GTA V cycle is particularly interesting. The S&P 500 had fallen 12% before Rockstar announced GTA V in October 2011. Following that announcement, it rallied 39% before the game was even released. Rockstar's communications department may have single-handedly reversed a multi-year equity downturn with a press release.Meanwhile, if we use San Andreas's actual named announcement in March 2004, the market had already rallied 31% since Vice City. Apparently institutional investors had priced in CJ months before the general public.

So the real conclusion is the next GTA announcement is neither a leading or lagging macro indicator; even though GTA releases clearly are.
