Famous investor/old man Warren Buffett just ordered his investment firm Berkshire Hathaway to drop 77% of its Amazon stake (a total of $1.7 billion) in one of his final moves before retiring. What’s that phrase, ‘you’re most remembered words are your last ones’…?

Combine this mega dump with Buffett dropping $2.7 billion from Apple last quarter and we’ve got a $4.4 billion dollar bet against big tech. Should silicon valley be worried now or…?

Maybe not. Apple is still Berkshire Hathaway’s biggest holding, with a massive $61.96 billion vote of confidence in the iPhone manufacturer. Plus Buffett just grabbed a massive stake in the Google company, Alphabet. So, despite the headline, BH is very much still all in on tech.

There’s a chance as well that this isn’t even Buffett’s work, potentially being decisions by investment managers Todd Combs, Ted Weschler or CEO Greg Abel as a way to ease into Warren’s departure.

NOTE TO SELF: WARREN BUFFETT IS IN NO WAY RELATED TO NOTABLE ACTOR WARREN BEATTY DESPITE HAVING SIMILAR NAMES.

The new CEO was hand picked by Beatty, but the question remains, is he really Abel?

All you can eat Buffett

The big WB casts a long shadow, with over twenty decades of experience in Wall Street, he’s long been a guiding light for many investors. But now, with the sale of WB to Netflix, who’s to know what the future holds. Will Buffett still be allowed in cinemas or will he become streaming only for the rest of his life?

Also, I’m worried about him because my granddad loved his work as a dog lobotomist but when he had to retire at the age of 63 (he had the shakes by that point and the dogs were coming out like swiss cheese) his whole purpose had gone and it just seem like he lost the will to live. He died not two years later. I mean, yeah, he was hit by a truck, but that’s by the by.

Point is, Buffett is 95. He was born in 1930, that’s crazy. He’s about to retire after working for thirty decades on Wall Street. How does a guy like that just retire? I’m scared for him is all that maybe he’ll go the way of my gramps. STAY OFF THE STREETS, WARREN!!

Sir, this was a Wendy’s

Following a WEAK quarter, fast food chain Gwendolyn’s (Wendy’s for short) had a 10% sales drop and plans to close around 300 locations in the first half of next year. Well, shit, where am I supposed to get my midnight jalapeno popper sandwiches (hold the jalapenos) from now?

It remains unclear if, along with the closures, Wendy’s will shutter it’s infamous online presence but one can hope.

In the 2010s, Wendy’s became the flagship of so-called ‘brand Twitter’ in which social media managers would affect a more human, relatable persona. In the case of Wendy’s this persona manifested as a sassy, clap-backy, meme-fuelled circus of hilarity.

The Wendy’s account managed to imbed itself into popular culture and numerous brands followed suit, attempting to create their own witty alter-egos. Sometimes these fictional characters would conduct back and forth arguments with one another that could last months but achieved basically nothing. Like two mirrors facing each other.

But in the present day, the novelty’s worn off a bit and now everyone’s ‘doing a Wendy’s’ (that’s not a term, I just made that up), it’s just not fun or cool anymore.

So here’s hoping that along with the hundreds of stores and probably thousands of jobs, Gwendolyn will also bury her cheeky, cringey, clapback persona and just be a regular company again.

Or god help me, I will not be buying your jalapeno popper sandwiches ever again.

You know that thing where you get a bunch of people in a circle to lie back on the legs of the person behind them? What’s it called…? Oh my god I just went down a rabbit hole, it literally doesn’t have a name, and Googling ‘human chair’ reveals unspeakable horrors.

ANYWAY, my point is it feels like the economy is currently that chair game where if you remove one person, the whole thing falls apart. And that was a very long winded way of saying that Wall Street is very reliant on AI at the moment. I’m sorry I wasted your time there.

We’re seeing a lot of stocks down this week as a raft of investors dumped their stocks fearing an AI crash. Self fulfilling prophecy much?

But the interesting part is that this selloff has extended to other sectors, pulling down transportation, wealth management, logistics, and even the egg-polishing industry.

Looks like the human chair is collapsing before our eyes.

So will this lead to an even bigger crash? Well, probably not. The numbers we’re seeing here are relatively recoverable and in many cases its punishing companies who aren’t using AI. Since the general trend is towards widespread adoption of the technology. How that will effect the economy still remains to be seen.

As for me, well, as a human being, I’m slightly biased against AI. But what do you think? Are you an AI? Let us know in the comments!

Yeah, sure, whatever, do whatever, I don’t care, you do you man, what am I, you mother? Shit, you want to buy the dip, who am I to stop you? What are you going to do once you own a nice shiny new dip? Idk, but that’s what you wanted so honestly, you just go for it. Enjoin your dip. Happy dipping.

I mean, who knows if by the time you read this Netflix will still be dipped. Maybe it’ll be up. Idk. But at the time of writing Neftlix (TDM) is down 12% this year period and 19% over the year period. Where I got 15% from for the headline I have no idea, honestly, I’m just making stuff up at this point.

Obviously, this is all down to Netflix’s WB bid (WBB for short) which would be a massive undertaking by the company and will end up looking much more like a merger than a takeover.

Alright, that’s about all I have the stamina to write for you right now. Tbh, I stole this headline word for word from somewhere else. The article body though, that’s all me, probably why it’s pretty terrible.

At least it’s not written by AI… but maybe that would be better. Depends what you want out of this transaction here. Because if you’re here for information, firstly, why the hell are you coming to Wall Street Memes Dot Com, and secondly, yeah, maybe an AI could do this but you’ve already got your info so I doubt you’re even reading this far so INDULGE me.

BUT if you’re here for entertainment, then I reckon I can do better. Sure, not in this article, but I’m tired so this is a bad example. But generally, I reckon I’m funnier than an AI. I’m certainly drunker than an AI…

What was I talking about? Oh yeah, Netflix. Sure bitch, buy the dip. I don’t care. This IS financial advice. Let’s go all in baby. Suck it.

In 2036, approximately 5% of America’s economy will go to paying the interest on the country’s national debt. Holy Jesus Christ. Surely, SURELY this is unsustainable, right? RIGHT?

Well, no, because the Congressional Budget Office, (CBO, owned by Warner Bros) says that no matter who is in power, year on year, borrowing has increased and is going to increase for the foreseeable future.

This is from Fortune (because I don’t understand these numbers and cba to translate): “In 2026, the shortfall will stand at about $1.8 trillion, or 5.8% of GDP. Come 2036, that will have ballooned to $3.1 trillion, or roughly 7% of the American economy.”

Like, didn’t you just say 5%? Ok, whatever, moving on…

These numbers are so big, they are double annual military spending, and at least triple what I pay for my weekly groceries.

Ok, I’m trying to read this article and my eyes are just glazing over. Like, I feel like you got the headline, right? You got the general vibe? I don’t need to say anymore, right? I mean, there are more numbers, I could give you more numbers, like five for example, there you go: five. There’s a number.

The bottom line is (yes, I just scrolled down to the final paragraph), things are going to cost more for everyday Americans and this will inevitably become a massive part of the next few elections when (god forbid) they come round.

So hang tight, bud!

…I assume. I mean, what else does Canada export?

In the biggest coup since this morning when this pigeon just outside my window wouldn’t shut up, six Republicans just turned on President Trump to vote down his tariffs on Canada from last year.

It probably won’t go through in the end because the senate has to approve it and then Trump himself would need to sign it and he’s recently forgotten how to spell his own name.

So why even bother? Well, it’s basically just a way for these six republicans to say we’re not happy with Trump’s whole deal. It’s probably too little, too late considering that tariffs have become the backbone of Trump’s economic strategy.

Of course, Trump went on the aggressive (defensive?), posting to Truth Social (more racist Twitter), “Any Republican, in the House or the Senate, that votes against TARIFFS will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time. TARIFFS have given us Economic and National Security, and no Republican should be responsible for destroying this privilege.”

Tariff? More like tariffICALLY BAD!

The move also comes as Trump heats up his economic war with Canada after they said they would start trading with China more and build a bridge or something? Idk, I’ve not really been paying attention.

But like with all tariffs, the consumer ends up baring the brunt of the increased cost. As Democrat Gregory Meeks put it, “Not only have these tariffs done immense harm to our relationship with Canada, pushing them closer to China, they have driven up prices here at home.” But then he would say that, wouldn’t he?

We’ll just have to wait and see how this plays out and whether it’s a sign of things to come in the midterms but until then, imma stock up on maple syrup and hockey pucks.

Anyone who says they can tell the future is a liar.

It’s arguable that we’ve been comparing the things. When we say bubble it might conjure thoughts of the dot-com boom or tulip mania, but those are two very different scenarios. Tulips were not the technological future of humanity, the internet was. There were significant winners to the dot com bubble, Google, Facebook, etc. and they are still with us to this day.

So when we say AI bubble, we might think it’s going to be like the tulips and it’s all going to pop and everyone will be pulled under, but what if it’s more like the dot com? What if AI is absolutely here to stay and although a pop is likely, it will leave in its wake a few winners who will dominate the AI-fuelled future.

Currently, it seems the fight is to be one of those last survivors, global infrastructure be damned. Right now it’s a sprint, not a marathon and so long as these companies put enough money into the problem, so long as they can just outlast everyone else, then they’ll be the ones left standing following the AI-economic-apocalypse that’s coming.

The question is, who has enough cash to survive this sprint? Well, because currently no one’s really making any money off AI, it looks like the only people able to fund this arms race are the mega-corps with more disposable cash from other revenue streams.

OpenAI on the other hand is pure AI and although it might be the industry leader, it’s still not found a way to make ChatGPT profitable.

In the AI-sprint it looks like being first off the starting block is actually a disadvantage.

So is OpenAI running off fumes? Well, it’s still raking in billions of dollars in investments, and yeah this one NVT opinion columnist says it’s going to run out of cash in 18 months, but as far as I can tell, that’s pure speculation.

The only mention of this headline-grabbing detail is: “My bet is that over the next 18 months, OpenAI runs out of money.” …you wanna back that up or…?

So who’s to know. Maybe, once the dust has settled, OpenAI will in fact emerge as the Google of the dotcom boom or maybe it’ll fold before its tulips have even started to bloom.

Look, it got a little boost because of the Melania documentary/propaganda film (because that makes sense) but $MELANIA is still massively down just like all of the Trump family’s other virtual assets.

But it’s not just Trump, thank god, crypto has lost $1 trillion across the board over the past three months, hitting bitcoin, buttcoin, fartcoin and even the greatest virtual currency of all: the US dollar.

Eric and Don Jr’s bitcoin company tanked about 80%, now worth $1 billion down from $8.5 billion, Trump Media is down 33%, World Liberty Financial down 39%, you know what, just read this graph:

As you can see, Melania is for some reason the least hit by the plunge. Is that because she’s the most cool member of the Trump clan? Is it because she’s ever so slightly separate from the rest of them? Who tf knows. This isn’t science here, this is all just vibes.

$MELANIA is still down 98% since launch, so this isn’t exactly a win.

And sure, the Trump’s aren’t alone in this downturn, it’s the same story across the sector. What is exceptional is that no one else has quite put all their eggs into this highly volatile basket like the Trump’s have done.

And now that basket is on fire.

The Trumpz reportedly have about $3 billion in crypto and Trump Media & Technology Group in particular have about $1 billion in bitcoin alone. Or at least they did, I suppose that’s all worth a lot less now.

But crypto is volatile, that’s kind of the point, and who’s to say that this won’t all rally again? Either way, I think the Trumps are going to be just fine.

Hello there fellow Americans! Wow, we sure did have a howdy Super Bowl weekend didn’t y’all? Chips. Advertisements. Bad Bunny. And how about those players, huh? Haha, yeah, I sure watched the Big Game too.

I for one am an avid gambler too and when I’m not playing high stakes online poker in the Wall Street Memes Casino™, I’m looking at all the odds on the sports.

But oh no! Looks like my product, I mean, the casino I just happen to play in, it looks like they have a competitor! Haha, just like the sports, am I right?

Flutter Entertainment Plc, just an example gambling site, they run FanDuel and have been on stock decline for eight weeks, the longest its had for 23 years. DraftKings is similar, down 60% from its ATH five years ago. And this is all over Super Bowl weekend, that’s normally Christmas for these people. What the hell is going on?

Well, as you probably guessed from me saying it in the title, prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket are muscling in on gambling sites’ turf.

It’s very simple, if you’re a gambling site, you offer games. You’re fun, you’re flashy, you’re colorful. You’re entertainment, like a casino. Now, entertainment isn’t that important, we can take it or leave it and if you’re making too much money you should probably be regulated, so, sorry, but you’ve got to get in the box.

But if you’re a prediction market, oh, well, now you’re serious, you’re sensible, clean, black and white. You’re not entertainment, no, you’re business. Never mind that you offer many of the same services and operate in a similar way, no, you are NEEDED. Alright, you can have less regulation. No box for you.

Now, technically this should be illegal. The CFTC said places like Kalshi couldn’t trade on sports, but after Trump won the election, they gave it a go anyway and the CFTC didn’t seem to mind. Well, then the floodgates were open and out poured money after money after money. Come get some.

If you want more information on this, you can read this actual article here, but if not sure, read some more garbage on this site. Click below instead.

This is an ad.

I mean, obviously this is an ad for WSM Casino, but I don’t mean that ad, I mean, Elon Musk says that the US is going bankrupt and only he can fix it is obviously an ad for his his own interests.

Because, surprise, surprise, Elon’s solution to America’s debt crisis is AI and robots. At this point I’m starting to wonder if he’s a robot.

And as you could have also guessed, this headline-grabbing statement comes from a little chat on a podcast. It’s just advertising all round. Always has been.

“In the absence of AI and robotics, we’re actually totally screwed because the national debt is piling up like crazy,” he explained.

“It’s the only thing that could solve the national debt. We are 1,000% going to go bankrupt as a country, and fail as a country, without AI and robots,” said Elon. “Nothing else will solve the national debt. We just need enough time to build the AI and robots to not go bankrupt before then.”

Sure, OK, any hints as to how AI and robots are going to help out with this at all? No? OK… and this has nothing to do with the fact that you just pivoted Tesla away from cars and to exclusively making robots and chatbots?

It’s like a guy who makes novelty rubber chickens hopping on a podcast to say, “I dunno, Jeff, I’m pretty sure the only thing that can save the planet is novelty rubber chickens. I’m just saying.”

Like, my god, this isn’t news. ‘Businessman Promotes Own Business’… gripping stuff.
