Kayne Anderson, mis stream energy infrastructure fund.

Selling at around $12 per share.

For old farts like me, income producing investments are comforting to own.

KYN pays around 8.25% or so dividend.

I use ET for that function.

I simplified my investments a bit. So Turbo Tax can easily handle everything.

Some years back I held both ET and Kinder Morgan.

But those partnerships spat out K1 forms at tax time. Always had to file an extension. Taxes were a bit of a PITA.

Kayne Anderson returns nearly what the mid-stream partnerships did. But the K1 income is rinsed through the Fund, and it spits out ordinary dividend income, not partnership distribution.

(I believe that both ET and Kinder Morgan are among the Funds top holdings. Recently I extended a bit, bought SEAL-PA. "Mid-stream, as they are LNG carriers. Selling around $25.50, and pays around 8.8%.)

I'm with you. I stopped with all the partnerships. Had an oil field one for a long time that both yielded over 10% and increased share price dramatically. But the taxes were a pain.

To clarify, I have ET as part of an IRA. Right now there's no issues, as I'm not pulling money out of the IRA yet. All the distribution are reinvested. I have a few years until I have to deal with withdrawals.

I'm not an old fart (yet) but I do mis stream on occasion.

Unless you have inside info, start up biotechs are a crap shoot, do your homework and take profits whenever they are there. Buying biotechs on a promise is almost as risky as trading options.
I have one down like 88% since I bought it. Worthless but why even sell? Maybe they have something that hits.

If you buy the one they named the technology after, maybe you’ll have better luck.

It’s definitely possible, 24 years ago during the biotech boom I bought 1000 shares of a promising biotech stock at $14 and 3 days later sold it at $133. Back in those days the volatility was crazy, stocks going up or down $100/sh in one day.

This thread has been dormant, but DeepSeek just wrecked Nasdaq. It's a bad day out there.

Here's a pretty good thread on what happened.

Well, I'm sure Mr. Brown is an authority on all things AI....

More seriously, the Chinese may be farther along than initially believed with AI. I doubt that implodes US leaders and if it cools this market a bit it may be a good thing.

Some other info trickling out that the supposed reports of this being built for $6M are hogwash.

The $6m does not include “costs associated with prior research and ablation experiments on architectures, algorithms and data” per the technical paper. “Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?” This means that it is possible to train an r1 quality model with a $6m run if a lab has already spent hundreds of millions of dollars on prior research and has access to much larger clusters.

So while they did have some huge algorithmic breakthroughs that reduce the training time and cost, it appears that they likely used a whole lot of Nvidia chips diverted through Singapore to do it. So not as bad for U.S. tech as first thought, perhaps even good if it means more rapid adoption. Looks bad for U.S. trade compliance, however.

Apologies if this is boring to some, it does have a huge stock market impact given that AI is what has propped up the market. It's also heavily impactful to my job so I'm trying to follow it as closely as I can.

So, you really are a bot?

I probably wouldn't have this annoying cough if I was. Or be active in the beer thread.

The stock of my employer is down a lot today. It's not NVDIA.

10-20+% drops: added bit of yours, NVDA & VRT to LT holds.

Possibilities (separate or combined): Deepseek overreaction? Pre-Lunar new year week markets close, CCP shorting US equities markets combined with CCP direction for mainland banks, pensions, etc to buy mainland stocks? Over leveraged retail trader margin calls? Potentially, bit of hedgy ¥ unwind cover to boot?
