Magnitude

After passing the definitive moral judgement on the events of Jan 6th (/s), the crew tries desperately to believe that Biden's stimulus package will help everyday Americans. Unfortunately, this is made difficult by Biden's insistence on snatching a $1400 defeat from the jaws of a $2000 victory. Also, we argue over SaaS stocks.

As the year kicks off, so too does a whole lot of insane shit. The crew talks conspiracy theories, cars, and big stock play screw ups. With a new vaccine, new president, and hopefully, quite a lot of new stocks and IPOs, the future holds not only redemption for the past, but a magnitude of possibilities.Join our Discord server!Discuss this episode on r/MagnitudePodcastLinks for discussion: Coming Soon

In a quieter week, the crew talks over come of the larger scale trends in the stock market such as privacy in the FAANG stocks, Tesla price targets, as well as speculative investments. Though, I suppose calling Bitcoin an investment is a bit of a stretch. There's a discussion of re-opening stock plays. The team also breaks the news about Santa, and considers going Black Friday shopping for some reason.Join our Discord server!Discuss this episode on r/MagnitudePodcastLinks for discussion:Bitcoin and Paypal: https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-shortage-is-real-and-paypal-is-the-cause-pantera-capital-claimsCathie Wood and Tesla to 7000: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/teslas-biggest-bull-stampedes-to-a-7000-price-target-2020-02-03What is a REIT?: https://www.reit.com/what-reitApple vs. Facebook and Privacy Problem: https://9to5mac.com/2020/11/19/apple-privacy-letter-ios-14-facebook/Lithium Ion Battery Problems: https://phys.org/news/2019-10-scientists-dendrites-whiskers-lithium-batteries.htmlSlippi Smash Mods: https://slippi.gg/

In their debut episode, three techies try to make great stock picks in the shadow of a close election. Somewhat akin to three monkeys in suits, throwing darts at a stock chart. Well, actually that's probably exactly what's going on.
