World may not like us right now, but China isn't winning friends either...


South Korea’s data protection authority has concluded that Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek collected personal information from local users and transferred it overseas without their permission.

The authority, the Personal Information Protection Commission, released its written findings on Thursday in connection with a privacy and security review of DeepSeek.


It follows DeepSeek’s removal of its chatbot application from South Korean app stores in February at the recommendation of PICP. The agency said DeepSeek had committed to cooperate on its concerns.

During DeepSeek’s presence in South Korea, it transferred user data to several firms in China and the U.S. without obtaining the necessary consent from users or disclosing the practice, the PIPC said.

The agency highlighted a particular case in which DeepSeek transferred information from user-written AI prompts, as well as device, network, and app information, to a Chinese cloud service platform named Beijing Volcano Engine Technology Co.

While the PIPC identified Beijing Volcano Engine Technology Co. as “an affiliate” of TikTok-owner ByteDance, the information privacy watchdog noted in a statement that the cloud platform “is a separate legal entity and has no relation to ByteDance,” according to a Google translation.

According to PIPC, DeepSeek said it used Beijing Volcano Engine Technology’s services to improve the security and user experience of its app, but later blocked the transfer of AI prompt information from April 10.

OpenAI calls for U.S. DeepSeek ban

DeepSeek and ByteDance did not immediately respond to inquiries from CNBC.

The Hangzhou-based AI startup took the world by storm in January when it unveiled its R1 reasoning model, rivaling the performance of Western competitors despite the company’s claims that it was trained for relatively low costs and with less advanced hardware.

However, the app’s rising popularity quickly triggered national security and data concerns outside China due to Beijing’s requirement for domestic firms to share data with the PRC. Cybersecurity experts have also flagged data vulnerabilities in the app and voiced concerns about the company’s privacy policy.

PIPC on Thursday said it had issued a corrective recommendation to DeepSeek, which includes requests to immediately destroy AI prompt information transferred to the Chinese company in question and to set up legal protocols for transferring personal information overseas.

When the data protection authority announced the removal of DeepSeek from local app stores, it signaled that the app would become available again once the company implemented the necessary updates to comply with local data protection policy.

That investigation followed reports that some South Korean government agencies had banned employees from using DeepSeek on work devices. Other global government departments, including in Taiwan, Australia, and the U.S., have reportedly instituted similar bans.
 
Rock and rolling in the after hours.
For those into technical trading, Palantir has broke through 50 and 200 MA and recent resistance.
Price to sales still like 419x?
I know. These technical guys swear by this stuff and we even have some of them on the board here.
If you're going to bash people who use technical analysis to supplement their investment decisions, at least get the metrics correct

PLTR has been trading above its 200 DMA for almost two years
I'm not bashing anyone, considering trailing this. I was pointing out an opportunity that the technical guys may have missed since not many stocks show good technical metrics right now.

My post could have been clearer...I meant that it broke through all three of the Trinity at the same time; 50 day, 200 day, and trough. Also should have added that it was coming off a double bottom bounce. The only thing missing was a decent spike in volume on the upswing.

Since you're a technical guy, is this the time to buy with all the boxes checked except volume?
Shouldn't matter to you. Just buy the dip
 
I'm taking advantage of the last few green days to pull back the cash I had put back to work in my 401K. So now back to 100% cash from 80%. I'll take the 4% and wait for the effects of the whipsaw changes to show up in the economic data - I think a better entry point is ahead, IMO. Good luck to all. :thumbup:
Pretty ballsy move swinging for the fences like this. The only guys who call the bottom right are the guys who put out a new youtube video every day.
Doesn't feel much like swinging for the fences over here, and I appreciate the perspective & the experience that informs that perspective.

Used a green market day to make some strategic SPY put buys. I think if there's some kind of deal announced in the next week or so with a country that just gets us back to where we were with them but causes a huge market spike, I'm actually going to commit fully my gambling account to SPY puts. I'm toying with the idea of introducing them to my retirement accounts, which I previously said I'd never do. I've really just got my profits from Nvidia and my gold calls in right now.

Not helping me resist that trucking Twitter is melting down, the last of the bullish banks downgraded expectations for SPY (I think Deutche is still way high; but they smartened up a little), and logistics CEOs are making the podcast rounds to talk about what this could be and how long it would take to unwind.

Are you trying to start an issue here and are you a willing to contribute your input/expertise?

Based on your posts and a few others here, I've been trying to educate myself on technical buying. I see a potential opportunity so I mention here. I was hoping that some of the guys here with expertise would chime in on if I'm reading this correctly or am missing something. If you don't want to share any advice or thoughts, then just say so. I bought the dip on margin and sold that off off so I have a small cash position that I can hold for a second dip or apply towards a different strategy.

How will you know the bottom? Are you looking for some specific trading activity? Some of the bears I've been watching are saying that some of the metrics for a bottom have been checked off while others haven't.

The daily youtube wasn't directed at you directly. Been following some folks who generate enough content that they'll be right half the time. They'll be on record about a correct bottom. How do you call a bottom if you only have one shot?

Personally I hedged by setting up a Roth to convert shares if we have a second dip and will have a plan in place to move x amount based on y drop.

Not a tax person but setting up a second Roth account for this is not part of the flowchart I have.

It's a first Roth account. Plan would be to pay the taxes on the traditional shares at a discount and move to a Roth.

My apologies if I misunderstood. As I've said, I'm not a trader but I would definitely interpret the last two days as a (tempered) positive development. PLTR is still in a short-term downtrend (from $125 all-time high) but like you say it broke through meaningful resistance yesterday ($98) and today's price action was good confirmation of that. Based on this, some might wait for even further confirmation before trading and others might be confident enough to enter into a trade with stops and targets based on the candlestick (e.g. body size, wicking pattern). Others might use Fibonacci retracements to set their targets. Additional and more sophisticated tools exist such as put-walls and FOMO indicators to give further insight into support levels and sentiment. Next big test to the upside will be the all-time high. The fact that PLTR has risen back above 20-, 50- and 200-DMAs IMO mitigates risk that this is a dead cat bounce.

I won't know the bottom, and I don't plan on trying to find it - but my plan is to come back in based on valuation of S&P from where I took it out originally (6066). VERY unscientific!

First entry point will be 20% back in @ a 15% drop (rather than the 10% drop I had previously planned - which is essentially where we are now). Tentative plan is another 20% back in for each 5% drop from there. If we go down 35% (3945) I would be all back in at that point.

For me, the bottom line is it felt a LOT worse watching my balance go down from that 20% I had put back in than it did missing the opportunity to put more $$ in when it was lower.

So, I actually have only a concept of a plan, and that will evolve I'm sure as we all move through these next months/ years as this plays out.

Definitely open to suggestions, and could end up costing myself here for sure - but I think we're going down before we go up.

Thanks for sharing. I hope we do get one more drop so everyone can can back in at the levels they want.
 
We're down a measely 2.5% from the number we were at before all the crazy tariff drama, yet the crazy tariff drama is not even CLOSE to done or CLOSE to having seen its impacts yet.

To me that screams dead cat bounce. But I've been wrong before.

Yeah I trimmed some PLTR and NVDA to lock in some profits - and I have a feeling I'll be able to buy back next week a lot cheaper.

Hopped on the VRT train today $86.76

Choo Choo mother****ers
I'm in opposite world....

Sold VRT to lock in some gains and take it back under 4% exposure. Also sold some Upstart that was up over 40% for the April lows.

Bought a small amount of PLTR to try a technical trade. Added some Adobe as a value buy.

I am also researching an Israeli based E Commerce company and will reveal that soon.
Global-e I assume. $GLBE. Some of us traded this at the beginning after it IPO'd. Shopify is invested pretty heavily with them.
@Todem did you ever finish looking into this one?
WIX

It has recovered 13% from the 4/8 bottom. But still down 23% or so on the year.

I LOVE THIS ONE.

Fundamentals are strong with this one.

This is pretty close to my thinking, too. Another green day or two early next week and I'll be back in the SPY put market. This time, I'd pony up for some longer-dated puts which would get me past the 90-day pause, so mid-July or thereabouts. They'll be steep but that's a lot of time and comfort to get some downside protection.
 
Bought 1K of UAMY to hang out with the cool kids

Good day to do it though there may be more red days ahead I'm afraid. The thing IS +100% YTD soooooooo........

But the thesis stands. We need antimony bigly and this is our best domestic option to deliver it. Their CEO has a track record of delivering multiples to investors and has the right friends in high places. Gary Evans.....the perfect jockey for this horse.
 
Technical Alert:

Sofi crossed 120 day moving average early in the week and the 50 day. Broke through a trough today on increasing volume. Also coming off a double bounce. Going to see if anyone is selling this evening at a reasonable price. This may be earlier as a break though $14 would be even a better buy indicatior.
 
So, I found about $600 in my robinhood account. about all that was left after losing ALOT on stocks and mostly crypto longshots.


Current situation...
Started with about $600
1 month--- up 1693.84% - so about $9500

Current bets...
66 VRT shares cost $86.64

options--------
WOLF - $4 call....50 contracts at .14 exp 5-02
VRT - 90CALL - $3.50 exp 05-09
BULL - $12.5 putt --cost .85 15 contracts
VRT $87 call $5.45 exp 5-16
VRT $88 call cost $7.15 exp 5-30
WOLF $4 call....10 contracts .99------exp 9/19

just to follow along :)

Who the heck is on the other side of these? Just Robinhood degens?

Well, what I'm I. Now is irrelevant to the 1600%

That was like 50 trades ago

This is my current bets in that account
