I purchased with my "play" money that I make form my band hobby. If I would not have bought this, it would of been guitars or band equipment. I have an etrade account that I buy misc. stocks when the market dips. I'm curious to see where it goes.

Elizabeth Warren is having a coronary.

Sure am glad Core measurement strips out food prices because El Nino years are heck on food price inflation, and this is expected to be one of the worst El Nino years on record. The energy situation won't be sorted out for at least 6 months to a year, and food prices may be in jeopardy as well. The Fed isn't going to cut rates which means the economy won't get a boost (except maybe from AI), and the Fed may want a higher inflation level anyway as it helps with the debt. This is more than likely what Trump was referring to with his comment about inflation that people didn't think through what he was meaning, and he didn't explain. I think I'll stick to my personal thoughts on possible sticky inflation instead of listening to a political hack for my financial advice. [Hidden Content]

Good Luck! You bought at a multiple of 150. Theoretically, it will take you over a century to break even. I like Musk's creativity and marketing. I like his pure drive. I wouldn't bet against him. I just can't see paying that kind of multiple for an unprofitable company. Definitely not what I'd consider 'buying low.' I'll just take the small sliver that will be allocated in some of my funds, and hope it's successful.

Thank you.

This ought to give the TDS crowd a massive brain explosion!

yup - they own the stock - if they all sell around the same time, look for a temporary decrease in price.

Mind blowing! The guy is a innovative genius!

His story is one for the history books. Living proof you can take an idea from a dream to reality....

Started trading today. Bought at $150, already at $169.00 I'm looking for a drop when SpaceX employees dump their stocks to become millionaires, will be another good time to buy.

Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire on June 12, 2026, following the historic stock market debut of his aerospace company, SpaceX. The company's initial public offering pushed his total estimated net worth to approximately $1.1 trillion.

Personal belief is that—similar to ALL Administrations—POTUS receives briefing highlights, and no single person can have knowledge of everything. I would bet he’s aware of the general status. But, I doubt he’s aware of what it will take to replenish, and the details.

Do you believe people in his administration is keeping the truth from Trump?

I fell out my chair😂🤣😂

Thought it would be some good news for a change. Everybody can see the prices in their own area and have access to gas buddy. It’s really a waste of my time to post my area’s price.

The Inflation Story the Media Will Miss: Energy Drove 60 Percent of May's Increase! From the article: "Outside of energy, the report told a different story. Core prices, which strip out food and energy, rose 0.2 percent in May and 2.9 percent from a year ago, coming in below the 0.3 percent monthly forecast. Core commodities prices declined 0.1 percent during the month. Chris Rupkey, chief economist at Fwdbonds, agreed: "The inflation risks for core consumer goods are in retreat for now." Food prices rose 0.2 percent in May and were up 3.1 percent year-over-year, with groceries up 0.1 percent and restaurant prices up 0.3 percent." [Hidden Content]

Why? Updates are good. I saw many stations around here at $3.29 yesterday. I'm just pointing out the bigger picture. We'll pay the price down the road. SPR will have to be refilled with our tax dollars at some point. With payment on our debt now at over $130 Billion/mo. as of May--up from $80 Billion--I'm not sure where all this money is going to come from... No way I see the Fed raising interest rates with that debt payment, which means sticky inflation for a while. We may well be in an era of 4% inflation being 'normal.' Hope not. But, we may be there. Beginning to wonder if it might be a good time to look at I Bonds again. They're already at a decent 4.26% until October. Safe money for 6 months.

Nimmo is a class act.

Sorry. I just thought everyone was worried about filling up their own vehicles. I’ll stop giving updates.

The Strategic Oil Reserve is now down to 243 MM barrels. This is the lowest level since 1982. The SPR is supposed to be an insurance policy, It's not meant to be used for price controls, or election politics. For context, the U.S. consumes about 20MM barrels/day. Basically, our 30 day insurance policy is now down to 10. Refilling SPR to capacity at the highest fill rate of 785,000 BBLs/day means it would take until at least 2031 to refill if it were being filled at maximum rates--which is next to impossible given the age and condition of the infrastructure.

Yeah... I don't see much of the summary happening--especially not the withdrawal of troops from the region. Nuclear ambitions weren't even mentioned. Someone's still not on the same page, the propaganda machine is still working overtime, or both.
