🚨 Breaking: Tesla has expanded its fully unsupervised Robotaxi service to Orlando, Tampa, and Miami! Just 18 days after launching in Miami, the fleet is now rolling driverless in three major Florida cities. Model Ys operating without safety monitors — this is real autonomy scaling fast.  Tremendous progress toward a future where robotaxis transform transportation. Florida is quickly becoming a Robotaxi powerhouse. What do you think — ready to hop in?
Honestly I do not understand how people are comfortable investing in the “AI trade.” If just ONE HYPERSCALER reduces CapEx or even doesn’t increase it does it not all come crashing down? The music can stop at any moment? How does one sleep at night like that. 🤔
$NFLX is still down around 50% from its peak. That is what makes this so interesting to me. The business is much stronger today than many people give it credit for: - Strong revenue growth - Rising margins - Growing ad opportunity - Live content momentum - More room for EPS growth over time To me, this looks less like a broken story and more like a potential opportunity where the market may still be undervaluing the long-term business.

Are you getting sick of constant stock price updates on Blossom? My feed is filled with the same 20 tickers and a snap shot of it up or down and in a rare case, some supposed reason why. Are you posting up days? Why? Are you posting down days? Why? The reality is, constant stock updates are the investing equivalent of weighing yourself every 5 minutes. Drink a glass of water. You weigh yourself. You poop, you weigh your self. 🚨🚨🚨🚨 $AMZN is down 1.0% today!!! 🚨🚨🚨 $VFV is up 1.2% today! 🚨🚨🚨🚨 $SPCX is up 5... now 6, now 4, now 3.. Okay... and so what? Investors shouldn't be tracking price movements like I see on Blossom every day. Stop. It's UNHEALTHY and leads INVESTING DISORDERS. Unless you're buying or selling today, that number is futile, vain and meaningless. What does it do? It likely grabs your attention and engagement on socials. It's likely creating an emotional response in you. And in the worst case scenario, it encourages you to confuse market ACTIVITY with PROGRESS and SUCCESS. The biggest danger is never that the market is moving... it moves every second the markets are open, year round, for all eternity. The biggest danger is YOU moving. There are countless studies on investor behavior and what makes the average retailer perform so badly. The studies show that checking stock prices every day makes it EASIER to panic, chase performance, sell low, buy high, and convince yourself that random market noise, future expected returns, analyst predictions etc is somehow meaningful to your investing success and you need to act on it. The market has rewarded PATIENCE for over a century now. Patience is a quality we all need and can improve upon. Your algo REWARDS your market anxiety with MoRE market anxiety creating content... So be careful what financial junk food you consume and what voices you surround yourself with . Your health and wealth are not rewarded buy consuming such content regularly. Stay safe out there investing friends 🙌👊
It honestly hurts to see $CAKE leave my portfolio. I’ve held it for nearly 3 years. It’s been a great investment. I more than doubled my money and collected dividends along the way. But investing is about opportunity cost. I think the upside from here is more limited, while I believe $UBER and $NFLX have a much clearer path to doubling over the next several years. Sometimes the hardest part of investing isn’t buying. It’s knowing when to move on.
One of the best parts about the Blossom community is how open everyone is sharing knowledge and experiences.
