I was curious what day the geniuses at Standard and Poors decided to add SMCI to the hallowed halls of the S&P 500. In the five months since then, it has lost almost 70% of its value. So, umm, yeah, good work, you numb-nuts.

Remember a few years back when TSLA was all anyone cared about, and it established Cathie D. Wood as the greatest investor ever? Yeah, well, that’s all changed now. No one really cares.

I read as much as I can, and I’m fairly familiar with regular contributors at the sites I visit. There’s one chap, Graham Summers, who has an outfit called Phoenix Capital Research.
