My entire new approach to social media is that if it does not elevate the soul in any meaningful way, it is instantly worth blocking, muting and/or never engaging with again. Let me explain what we are on the cusp of all throughout the Internet: 1. Cheap memes are out2. Hot takes are cold 3.…

I am fascinated by AI’s ability to speed up one’s art. Not just work or writing or researching, but art, dreams, things that elevate the soul. To create new worlds, images, video and more within timeframes that normally would take a single person hours or weeks designing, shading, coloring, and bringing to life. The way…

I just learned a great investing story about Shaq. Yes, that Shaq. Back in 1999, he demonstrated a principle most people forget to talk about: stay open, stay curious, and always be ready to say hello. Not every great investment is PE ratio or a technical indicator. Sometimes, it’s literally just “hello.” The story starts…

Trading is full of ironies, but none is more widespread, with little attention paid to this problem, than the disconnect between the system a trader follows and the way they live their everyday life. Many traders seek consistency by adhering to strict rules in trading, perhaps entering at a 200-day moving average and exiting at…

Every bad decision that I have ever made in markets has come from a period of terrible sleep. Being a trader (or an investor) teaches you a lot about yourself. Oftentimes new traders blame all kinds of things. But actually, oftentimes, it boils down to sleep. At the end of the day, a good sleep…

There’s a story that has almost been forgotten. A man who embraced the opposite of speed, noise, and constant information. Their success came not from more data, more research, or more market noise—but from less. An excerpt from the time when Jesse Livermore, the notorious trader who saw all the ups and downs of markets,…

There are good ads, great ads, and then there are messages that resonate. Every great advertiser aims for that resonance, but few ever achieve it. You don’t want an ad to be just an ad. You want it to strike a cord from the heavens. The original master of this craft? Nike. Somewhere along the…

On my X feed, and in specific investing blogs I read, there is an endless supply of “inflation panic” and “dollar devalue” content. It also seems to always go viral. The irony here, is that as of late, no party is more outspoken about inflation worries than the crypto community. But that also makes little…

This July 4, the United States of America will be 249 years old. Why does that matter? A few reasons and let me explain the first: It’s actually one of the youngest countries on Earth. But what makes that even more interesting is if you look at America’s age compared to its GDP output. Let’s…

The stealth bomber is a technology miracle. Let me explain a few facts about this massive piece of technology: Stealth: Virtually invisible to radar due to its ultra sleek, never before seen shape and radar-absorbent coating. Speed: Flies at subsonic speeds, maxxing around 630 mph (Mach 0.95). Ceiling: Operates at altitudes above 50,000 feet. Range:…

I read a great post on X the other day and I’ll highlight what’s at stake. More importantly, before I share these notes, take a moment to pass this post on to someone who is in the market for a new job or perhaps about to graduate college or study a new field. They will…

Sometimes, the best investments and themes become the best not because of their truly profound nature, but actually because of the tax code and government incentives that have been layered around it. It’s easy to miss this as trends, media, and hype eventually replace it in the news cycle and “tax breaks” for industrial manufacturers…
