    I hate to re-post something, but every now and then I'd rather put it here, so it doesn't get buried in a bunch of childish banter.

    This... regarding generative AI and potential problems going forward:
    __________________

    One of the biggest issues going forward will be the use of generative AI that has derived its results from existing intellectual property. Artists' rights is going to become a HUGE issue.

    Last month when I said Accenture was oversold at $330, and it is about 8% below that level now.... was based on my premise that huge quagmires (and hundreds of large lawsuits based on the unlicensed use of IP) is looming large going forward. I couldn't think of a company that profits off of this kind of tumultuous environment, so ACN was my best guess. When I saw it was down that much, I figured that might be the play. Either way, if anyone has a company that profits off of guiding Fortune 500 companies thru the minefields of avoiding major litigation, it might be worth a look going forward because I really think this is gonna be a big thing in the not too distant future. And the consulting companies that deal with this stuff, will see top-line revenue grow over the next several years, because it is going to become a major issue.

    Well $DOCS closed the ah's session at $27.48. Hard to chase a stock that jumped that much, but look at those margins. And they even got better. Subscription revenue on the rise too. AND... a $500M buyback initiated. ----> All that, and no debt on the books.

    I dunno, but as tech stocks go, this one is a gem imo. The 52 week high is $36. I have a feeling it's gonna continue up tomorrow. But as always, do your own dd.

    Great call Van
    I missed it as it moved up too fast for me. Also, thanks for feedback on $BOIL hitting near $20.

    Your nonstop hit streak continues and I’m witness to it

    I only paper trade though.
    (I wish someone would tell that to my email service.... @Protonmail.... they keep tellin' me my box has exceeded its limits and I need to pony up and send some money. 20 round trips per day generates a lot of confirmations over the space of a few months.)

    When is Stoney gonna take me up on my portfolio challenge?

    Well, it hit $140 today. 40% in a month.
    I'm not saying charts never lie, because they do, all the time.... but I did feel pretty confident on that one. It was multiple things.
