Magnitude: Recent Episodes
Christopher, Andrew, and Temour
Listen to Andrew, Chris and Temour discuss the stock market, technology and politics as we fumble our way through life trying to make the best decisions. While we aren’t professionals, and our opinions are not professional financial advice, please enjoy our antics and opinions!
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.

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.

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.
