Here is FACT. A LOT of fact. If ALL these companies and all these experts are MORONS.....I guess I will be a MORON along with them. I am talking about....PROBABILITY. This article is an EPIC list. Factbox-From OpenAI to Google, firms channel billions into AI infrastructure as demand booms https://finance.yahoo.com/news/factbox-openai-google-firms-channel-222922643.html
The MEDIA....with their obsessive short term focus on clicks and drama ridden headlines...is missing the big picture on AI. We are not going to see some HUGE EUREKA moment where AI suddenly hits. It is not going to be a big FLASH IN THE PAN moment.....where everyone suddenly sees the impact of AI. It is already happening and is embedded in ALL big cap companies and many smaller businesses. It is going to be a 10-20 year....PROCESS. A slow and steady....drip, drip, drip....as AI enters and is used in EVERY aspect of EVERY business. It is just STUPID for the media and doubters to be asking when are we gong to see something from AI. You are already surrounded by AI in business...it is already EVERYWHERE.

The FUTURE of the markets? Based on HUMAN BEHAVIOR and brain chemicals....probably. BUT....it is INSANITY for these gambling products to be sold as....."INVESTING" or "INVESTMENTS". Robinhood is rolling out NFL parlay and prop bets on prediction markets platform https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/16/rob...prop-bets-on-prediction-markets-platform.html These prediction products and sites.....are NOT....."markets". It is a BIG JOKE to allow them to use investing terminology and be placed on brokerage sites.
NOTHING really happening in the investing news world today.....at least in REALITY. I am finding and seeing NOTHING. So I will move on and not waste more time....at the moment.

GOOD....the DOW has now joined the SP500 and NASDAQ in the RED. Lets get this market drop going. Lets push prices down, down, down.....and get this dip over with. At this point I am.....CALLING.....any Santa Rally. With the current market fear mongering of AI and disrespect for fundamentals in favor of made up BS......a Santa Rally is not possible. It simply DOES NOT MATTER if it is justified....we are far outside of REALITY.....and I dont see any change on the short term horizon.
