Has the AI industry already built years of AI inference capacity ahead of demand?

I came across an estimate that the accelerator fleet sold outside China had reached roughly 25.6 million H100-equivalents by mid-2026. The same analysis estimated that current inference demand uses only around 16-26% of that capacity, potentially even less now that China is offering inference services on its own chips. These are modeled estimates, not…

Limiting my 401k contribution to employer matched level only

Good Morning all, I have a little under 2 yrs until I retire at 59.5 and my question is in regards to 401k contributions. My company matches 50% of the first 8% that I contribute. I currently contribute 17% but I'm thinking about dropping that to 8% and then using the 9% increase in my paycheck to build up my CASH reserve. I keep my CASH reserve in SGOV…

One flight last week leaving from al-Qassim airport north of Riyadh to Geneva on a Bombardier Global 6000 — a 14-seater long-range aircraft — sold for €94,000, compared with a price of about €60,000 before the closure of Riyadh’s main airport. ft.trib.al/GxeYgqK

How close to your planned retirement do you make your target date funds

Looking through my current allocations with my 401ks and my target dates are probably overly aggressive. Meaning I plan to retire about 5-10 years before that actual date. Historically I wanted my funds to just have more an aggressive mixed based on my age. I’m still pretty young at 38, want to retire around 58 and as of today’s world believe I’m on track…

Does this make sense for cash flow investments.

What should someone do if they are 44 yrs old. Recently paid off mortgage. No other debt. Contributing to 401K under max. Would it be best to max out Roth IRAs for that individual and their spouse then go back for higher 401 contributions considering in 5-10 years they plan to purchase a second home to use for part of the year and as a generational…

Why is everyone choosing Roth?

It seems like Roth retirement accounts have this weird cult mentality. Nearly every person I know under the age of 40 that has a retirement account has a Roth IRA or Roth 401k, despite the fact that nearly all of them will be in a lower tax bracket during retirement age. I ask people why and nobody can give me a good answer other than "I see no advantage…

I invested a bunch in ETFs (SEMI, ASIA, HACK) (all ASX-listed ETFs) then the market crashed a day later. Any advice?

thoughts on SEMI, ASIA, HACK (they're in the ASX), and similar ones? I invested a bunch in them three, and then like 1-2 days later the market crashed. RIP. what should i do? I have a bunch of money in rare earth metals too and that flopped liked 6 weeks ago. There are ETFs that are specific industries/themes. Once i recover from this, im going to stick to…

Best investment strategy for self controlled 401K

Long story short, new company pays a pathetic match, thats not worth even bothering with. They also do the same payout like my last company where yearly match is not deposited unless you are with company on final day of each year. (Learned my lesson, and lost entire match for 2026) So heres where Im at. I have 4 separate Roth 401Ks, that are all 100% in…

Questions about growth investing.

I haven’t yet invested my money in anything, other than opening a HYSA. I‘m in my early 20s, working a full time job paying minimum wage. I have 30k saved, sitting in my HYSA. I made a post in r/dividends asking for investing tips, and discovered that I have nowhere near the capital required to make decent growth through dividends, which directed me…

Can REITs make money on residential properties without renting any units?

I often see a rather ridiculous sounding claim that new residential developments can be built and not rent any units and somehow that’s still profitable for developers and the real estate owners. I saw someone specify that REITs don’t pay taxes, and because of that they don’t have to sell or rent any units because the value is tax exempt. This just……

Have you changed where/how you hold cash?

With rates increasing, and likely to increase again by EOY, have you made any changes to where you hold cash? I hold emergency funds plus money I may use for a home down payment in the next 12-18months in BIL. Probably not worth moving it since CDs and similar incur state taxes, which would erode any incremental income, but wanted to see what others are…

China Q3 GDP hits 4.5% and retail sales came in double what forecasters expected

China's economy grew 4.5% in the third quarter, putting Beijing's full-year target back within reach. Retail sales grew at twice the pace analysts had penciled in, and factory output ran hot on the back of strong foreign demand for Chinese tech goods. The export side is doing most of the heavy lifting. Overseas buyers snapping up AI-linked hardware and…

How do you research the clean energy sector and its long term growth?

I believe clean/sustainable energy is going to become a more and more important part of the world over the next 10-20 years, so I’ve been looking into the sector and ETFs like WENS and INRG. However, I’m realising there’s a lot more to researching an industry than just looking at an ETF’s holdings, fees and past performance. I want to understand what…

Is Burford Capital a good investment?

The litigation finance giant (BUR) has hit a new low, with stock trading below $3 per share. I know there was a big scare due to the Second Circuit decision in YPF/Argentina, which was a big part of the portfolio. But this seems like an overcorrection. Anyone have a view?
