Monday I bought 1,000 shares of $IREN at $23.95 For once I thought I finally nailed the timing Today it closed the week at exactly $23.95 Apparently the market doesn't like seeing me in profit Sorry for dragging everyone down with me

Yesterday was brutal Today looks even worse My entire portfolio is bleeding 25,000 shares of $IREN, back near the yearly low Months of buying Just a few weeks to end up deep in the red Holding through the midterms and earnings Let's see how much worse it can get

I asked for gains, quick and bright, A rocket climb, a burst of light. I found $IREN and liked the play, I bought my shares and dreamed they'd pay. From fifty down to twenty-three, The market laughed and mocked at me. Each dip arrived, I bought some more, Then watched it fall beneath the floor. Twenty-five thousand shares still intact, I never sold. Imagine that. I asked for gains, a glorious flight, The market said: "Not yet. Good night." But storms must end, and light remains, I held through pain, now bring the gains. $IREN

Yesterday I bought another 1,000 shares of $IREN at $23.95 Usually the moment I buy, the stock immediately drops But somehow, it's going up I'm not used to this

Added another 1,000 shares of $IREN today at $23.95 Now holding 25,000 shares @ $39.14 avg The past few weeks have been brutal Sentiment has turned extremely bearish I'm starting to think most of the bad news is priced in

200+ neoclouds probably isn't sustainable. Consolidation makes sense. But fewer competitors isn't necessarily bearish for the survivors. Quite the opposite. The real question is who's positioned to come out stronger. My bet is on $IREN.
Replying to @chamath
Pretty much. As of the past few weeks, debt markets have almost entirely shut off access to money for any company that doesn’t have substantial revenue independent of AI data centers. SpaceX closed $40B of debt for GPUs, but we’re investment grade and have Starlink & launch revenue. That means the 200+ neoclouds are going to see guppy-level death and consolidation. Some will make it through, but not many.

Friendly reminder that last week I bought 2,000 shares of $IREN around $28. That created a major resistance level. To everyone waiting for $IREN to go higher: Sorry everyone, it's not happening.

The moment I said I’d buy more lower Market went straight up Apparently that was the bottom
$IREN getting hit hard again I’ve bought the dip all the way to 24,000 shares Cash is almost gone I’ll make it 25,000 if we reach $24.30 Do we get there today?
