Just crossed 100%+ return in the last 12 months. This didn’t come from staring at charts all day. It came from: • Human intelligence + LLMs for sharp macro analysis • My hybrid CNN-LSTM models surfacing high-probability setups (instead of me hunting) • Strict discipline — living my trading strategy (look for my article) • And yeah… a healthy dose of luck Grateful for the journey. More to come. [Attach the screenshot]

@SJosephBurns The tale of two cities.

Consumer sentiment falls to fresh record low in May as surging gas prices hit outlook: CNBC

Even sophisticated investors are missing the reasons behind the non stop rally. Here's why I don't expect it stop so easily. This rally is led by multiple massive tailwinds: 1. The AI demand + hype 2. A fed that is going to cut rates soon or at some point. 3. The PDT rule changes bringing in the gamblers. 4. The Nasdaq rule changes in 2026 allowing new qualified companies to enter the nasdaq 100 in 15 days (think trillion dollar companies like SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI) 5. Midterms - no president wants a market crash before an election. It's a no-brainer that these indexes will continue higher unless we see a huge fundamental shift.

Stanley Druckenmiller on what it takes to become a great investor: “They have to have an extreme passion for the business…you can’t compete against people that love the business if you don’t love it. They’re going to outwork you. They’re going to out-think you.” “They also have to be extremely competitive. They have to be sore losers. They have to want to win… Notice I haven’t even gotten to IQ yet. Anything over 125, 130…it doesn’t hurt you but it’s largely superfluous.” “They can have an ego but they have to know how to check it at the door. You have to be open-minded…you can’t be stuck and start making up reasons why you have a position. You will just lose a lot of money.” Finally, Druckenmiller emphasized the importance of independent thinking & emotional discipline: “They’ve got to be able to think [outside] of the box and not with the crowd…it’s not easy to fight your emotions in the crowd but that’s a big piece of it.”

🚨 Why the “smart money” is completely missing the AI Mafia Everyone’s waiting for the AI bubble to pop. Nvidia multiples too scary? They run. Big mistake. They think AI is only chips & software — the “Brains.” They look at Caterpillar ($CAT) and see a boring cyclical bulldozer stock. They look at EMCOR ($EME) and see a mechanical contractor. They couldn’t be more wrong. The real winners are the “Bricks” — the AI Mafia quietly running the neighborhood. Here’s what they’re missing: 1️⃣ **Power Bottleneck** The grid is broken. Data centers are becoming private utilities. $CAT isn’t selling tractors — they’re selling the **lungs of AI**: gigawatts of on-site power generation. 2️⃣ **Lien Leverage** Through Cat Financial, they hold the title to the most critical assets. Default? They repo the power plants. In the gold rush, they own the road. 3️⃣ **Political Shield** Cancel a chip order with one click. Try canceling a half-built data center shell with thousands of union workers and politicians involved. Good luck. These guys don’t send a single person until they’re **paid in advance**. Legal mafia energy — and both parties love them. If it wasn’t for Caterpillar’s record-breaking run, the Dow would be in the toilet right now. Still thinking $CAT is just a “construction stock”? You’re trading in the wrong decade. Bricks beat Brains. Every. Single. Time. Full thesis 👇 #AI #Investing #Infrastructure #DataCenters

@SJosephBurns That's the truth. You need all of those and the right mix of it for the circumstance. In other words, you should behave like a psychological chameleon.

Trading will expose every mental and emotional weakness you have. Greed? You'll destroy your account with big losses. Fear? You won’t be able to take your signal entries. Impatience? You will trade too much. Ego? You will be unable to cut losses short. Trading doesn’t change you, it just reveals who you are.

@nikitabier Great. Candlestick option would be perfect.

Exciting to be here at the Claude conference today amongst other founders.

Paul Tudor Jones on @cnbc “bought more AI stocks” “semiconductors” “It’s a crazy crazy time” brings up introduction of PC, Claude Code -> Microsoft 1981, Windows 95/internet. “beginning of productivity miracles that lasted 4-5 years” “we have a year or two to run” or “we continue to feel like 99” “October/November 1999” in terms of multiples. (either two years to run, another ramp to go)

Entered $NOW. Looking like the bottom is in.

I've never seen more people pissed off at the relentless rally. That only means one thing: It's going a lot higher...

@SJosephBurns Good timing because I think they are just about to move up.

@SJosephBurns Yes, down to the exact trade parameters.
