| schestowitz[TR2] | @10b while you were collecting badges, I spend a couple of hours daily trading in NvIdia, apple, Amd, micron and others at the office. The manager holds to high esteem. When he asks, I tell him, I send 25% of my time up skilling. It is a win-win. | May 21 05:13 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | I was in the office today and reported someone because they were taking pictures of me while I was shopping for usb cables on Amazon bcos the IBM procurement process is so broken this is the easiest solution. The person taking the photos were pretending to work, they said they were doing Think40 education but given IBM abandoned that a couple of years ago I knew they were lying.

| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM stock price normally runs inverse to the entire market. On days the Dow/SP500 are up, IBM is down. When Dow/SP500 are down, IBM is usually up. It's been like this since early 2000s | May 21 05:14 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | The powers that be (not just at IBM) are readying the Quantum Hype Machine (QHM) to have it ready for when the AI bubble bursts. Problem is, that while AI actually exists today (just not as good as people hoped), Quantum Computers do not and won't for probably another 20-30 years. All these stories you read are just lab experiments. QC today is about as advanced as AI was in the 1950s with Marvin Minsky. And at least as far away fr | May 21 17:16 |
