Yet Microsoft is offering buyouts to 60,000 employees while dropping billions on AI.
Tech companies have gotten way too comfortable with the idea of cutting many solid people under the assumption that current AI can come in and immediately pick up the slack.
I think a lot of these companies are going to find out that they bet too hard a bit too early.
The servers we returned to service can become unresponsive again once they receive traffic; we're analyzing diagnostic data to determine what's triggering the behavior. In parallel, we're temporarily limiting which types of traffic can reach the affected infrastructure in some locations. Additionally, we're rebuilding a subset of affected servers using a previous configuration to validate if this prevents them from becoming unresponsive. More info under EX1550543 and MO1550821 in the Microsoft 365 admin center, as well as status.cloud.microsoft if the admin center is not available to you.

He not just doing callouts like this. He hands you the knowledge and tools, that you can do these kind of callouts by yourself, for yourself.
On June 22nd, I publicly warned that $SNDK — the hottest stock in the entire market — was nearing the end of its historic run per my Target Plane System.
I told you “THE WELL IS DRYING UP.” while others told you it still had plenty of room to go.
Less than 5 months later, $SNDK is down roughly 65% from that call. 🩸
I was bullish throughout the rally. I wasn't blindly calling for a top or trying to be a contrarian. I was simply following my system — the same system I've spent years developing and refining through deep quantitative research.
When the evidence started pointing toward exhaustion, I didn't wait for the collapse to happen so I could pretend I saw it coming... I told you PUBLICLY in real time while the market was still drowning in euphoria.
Anyone can chase a parabolic stock but recognizing when the probabilities are shifting against it (especially when everyone else is still expecting higher prices) is an entirely different skill and requires absolute precision.
That's why I built the Target Plane System.
The receipts speak for themselves.
I think it's worth putting out there that I believe $SNDK is, for the most part, done with this massive move.
I've remained long-bias in alignment with the Target Plane System.
Whether this tops here or at a parabolic 2500-2650 blowoff (very possible)... the well is drying up.

A blue tsunami and I’m not shocked at all. 🌊
The Trump Admin has fractured the Republican Party for years to come and perhaps even left it permanently splintered — “MAGA” devolved into the corrupt swamp that it originally promised to drain.
We were sold a dream of putting “America First” and instead spent the last two years:
- Watching insider trading and manipulation of markets.
- Watching tariffs and economic decisions put further pressure on already strained household budgets.
- Not restoring the “American Dream” for young Americans through incentivizing affordability.
- Putting corporate interests before the health and financial well-being of citizens.
- Covering up the most heinous form of crime that exists (for whatever reason).
- Promising to avoid new wars only to become entangled in another one to the point of creating one of the worst energy supply crises in history.
- Promising to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits and delivering only a limited deduction instead.
- Promising a 10% cap on credit card interest rates that never materialized into an enforceable federal cap.
- Celebrating repeated market highs and GDP growth while the majority of Americans struggle more and more to afford housing, insurance, groceries, and basic necessities.
The entire appeal of MAGA was supposed to be that it wasn’t “business as usual”. It was supposed to actually challenge corruption, expose the powers-that-be, restore some semblance of prosperity, and give everyday Americans a true fighting chance again.
And to be very clear, I don’t believe Democrats are going to swoop in and fix any of this either… not even a little. It runs deep on both established sides. They deserve the exact same skepticism, scrutiny, and calls for accountability. The government is supposed to work for us, remember?
Ultimately, “America First” has to actually mean something beyond a slogan or a cheap way of getting elected. It should mean that a young American working his ass off can actually afford to buy a home -> raise a family -> save for retirement -> and build a future without feeling like they’re running on a treadmill that keeps getting faster or that they’re genuinely running out of time.
Loyalty to a politician and loyalty to your country or ideology aren’t the same thing. Somewhere along the way, too many people have forgotten the difference.

$GME 🎮 + $GME Warrants 📰
Structure is at a CRITICAL point.
Not much of a meme guy but I'm going to weigh in here.
A large portion of my research and subsequent trading strategies are devoted entirely to price structures and patterns, and my most traded setup is present on $GME right now.
----------------------
$GME:
A D-Dip pattern was detected on 10/14. This is significant to understand where the stock is at right now. D-Dips always end with a move back into the existing structure and only two things can occur after.
1. D-Sword: A base forms within the existing structure and ends with a strong and impulsive expansion.
- In order to maintain D-Sword potential, price must remain BASING above $24 for the next several sessions per CLOSE.
2. D-Mega: Price falls below the existing structure and ends with a redistribution (relative to timeframe) lower.
- If price fails to form a D-Sword, it will inevitably develop into a D-Mega.
All you need to see is a BASE.
What you don't want to see are consecutive closes below the existing structure.
----------------------
$GME WARRANTS:
The warrants fell -50% earlier this week directly into the only macro IAE on the chart.
IAEs (Institutional Activity Extensions) are a core part of my mean-reversion engine and they work extremely well, marking the height of extensions either short-term or long-term depending on magnitude and structure.
Right now, the warrants are at the bottom of a 3rd Drive. Unless the "powers that be" seek to slaughter, one would systematically expect reasonable upside if this continues being held for another session or so.
The warrants are set to be gone soon so the time window for reversion is very short.
----------------------
I wish everyone involved with this stock (and other retail favorites) luck and prosperity.
I'll always throw my two cents in whenever these "do-or-die" structures present themselves.

Neat headline but not really, the limitations are pretty significant.
- It doesn’t expand housing supply
- It doesn’t change the local zoning or permitting that restricts new building,
Lot of the benefits only really apply to existing owners who already have equity (especially the PMI piece) or to people looking to refi — first time buyers looking at these prices aren’t getting much out of it.
I genuinely have no idea how traders on here have time to attack one another religiously.
- You’re doing something that works but I’m just not a fan? Hell yeah dude keep going, glad that works for you.
- I think you’re doing something that sucks or your supposed “edge” actually blows? Cool, I hope you figure it out and get better.
- You had a publicly shit trade? Losses are part of the game and traders are more than allowed to be wrong — I just hope you sized normally and stuck to your system.
The best traders I know aren’t emotionally charged. They’re extremely calm, down-to-earth, and obsessively passionate in their craft. What am I to make of someone emotionally lashing out at strangers on the internet? Coping with your own shortcomings?
Here’s a tip.. focus on you. The only thing you’ve gotta beat is yourself again and again. You do that enough times and you won’t even recognize yourself (in a good way) a year from now.

A proprietary structure-based system built to identify mean-reversion zones, expansion setups, and trend alignment while providing both price targets and SL levels.
📒One highlights when major moves are likely to occur.
📗The other teaches traders where price is likely to react, reverse, expand, or continue while providing defined price targets & SL levels.

With Core PCE coming in this morning at 3.0%, let's talk why this metric is so important and how it has been trending. Elevated asset prices matter. They determine how much stress consumers within an economy can sustain before GDP begins to fall. We are sitting in a "covered up" recession with a few companies carrying the load. The rest underperform by a large margin and that is where many of the labor jobs lie. Too much liquidity & debt can over saturate dollar to production ratios. And this is why yields are flying.

From one trader to another, I think we all need to acknowledge the risks that come with being public with our names and faces on this app.
I am genuinely astonished and heartbroken by what has happened with @Oculustrades.
It's easy to sit behind a screen every day, talk markets, share trades, argue with each other, joke around and forget that there are real people and real lives behind these accounts.
As your following grows, so does your exposure. People learn your routines. They learn where you go. They see what you own, where you're traveling, what events you're attending and sometimes far more about your personal life than you realize you're sharing.
I know I have been guilty of it too from time to time providing a little too much detail to vacations ect...
Regardless of what ultimately happened here, this has been an eye opening reminder for me to take my personal privacy much more seriously.
From trader to trader, please be careful about how much of your life you put on the internet.
No amount of followers, engagement, money or recognition is worth compromising your safety or the safety of the people around you.
Some things are bigger than markets.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and everyone who knew him.
Absolutely heartbreaking.
