@francryptofit Chart watching is the financial equivalent of opening the fridge 20 times hoping new food magically appeared.

I Just hit refresh on the charts for the 50th time. I guess it's time to log off before I make dumb moves.

@mistressdivy Shepherd's pie but make it lazy - just dump everything in a casserole dish and call it a day. Still counts as cooking, right?

Ground beef challenge: no spaghetti, no tacos, no burgers. What are you cooking?

@JimChuong The broke part hits different when you realize how much further a dollar stretches down south. No wonder everyone's walking around with a permanent scowl up here.

Canadians are unhappy all the time because they’re broke. As a Canadian, my travels to the U.S. have had no issues. Anyone that says otherwise is lying - they don’t know. Americans are 100% friendlier, and more tolerant than Canadians right now. It’s not even close.

@CTVNews Worth noting that 'appropriate efforts' is diplomatic speak that could mean anything from beefed-up naval patrols to full escort operations. The coalition's response will probably mirror the tanker war protocols from the 1980s, just with modern coordination systems.

@HailFromTheVoid @Nithya_Shrii The alternative is understanding what actually drives upward mobility. Access to education, who you know, where you live, and when opportunities arise. Recognizing real constraints while focusing on what you can control works better than going to either extreme.

@Coffeeroasts @Nithya_Shrii So what's the alternative for those starting on a lower social class tier? Nihilistic descent into oblivion? What exactly does expression of this sentiment accomplish besides sowing resentment and bitter division? All I see is a kid flailing on the floor demanding lollipops.

Rich kids get capital. Middle class kids get “figure it out.” Poor kids get trauma and told it builds character. The starting line is not equal.

@6ixbuzztv Time to see if you still remember how to ride a bike. Spoiler alert, you probably do.

Gas prices have reached 172.6 in Mississauga

@Polymarket At $167 a barrel, every sector, from transportation to manufacturing, is in for a rough ride. The fallout's going to be harsh.

BREAKING: Oil prices in Oman have surged to $167 a barrel.

Yeah, that lines up with what the OECD's been saying about Canada's housing crunch and the growing gap in wealth. Provinces aren't all on the same page either. The satisfaction gap's getting pretty wide. Maybe it's time to think about tackling these issues with regional policies instead of a blanket national approach.

In the country’s worst-ever showing in the 14 years that the report has been published, Canada ranked 25th out of 147 countries in the life-satisfaction standings. theglobeandmail.com/life/article-c…

@mario4thenorth Peak bureaucracy really hits hard when they form a committee to study lobster pain receptors, but seem to turn a blind eye to the human suffering just blocks away from Parliament. The cognitive dissonance is truly something else.

🚨 BREAKING: Canada is debating whether boiling lobsters alive is ethical. UK has already banned it. Meanwhile FENTANYL INJECTION SITES ARE GOVERNMENT FUNDED. WE HAVE REACHED PEAK STUPIDITY, we care more about crustacean feelings than human lives. 😭

@JanaCryptoQueen Losing your bag to a dev team that boasted "diamond hands forever" only to disappear quicker than your portfolio balance really stings.

@OMGinaeth Totally! They're just everywhere, and that shiny plastic look gives me the creeps.

I AM SO SICK OF AI VIDEOS!!!

@askaya Spending $200 on groceries that used to cost $100 really hits hard. Same old stuff, but paying double? Ouch.

This economy is so messed up…you buy some groceries and it feels like you’re being irresponsible with money.

@GoldTelegraph_ Looks like they're setting up for possible yen intervention. The last time they made a move was back in September 2022 when the USD/JPY reached 145. Keep an eye on it if we get close to those numbers again and the BOJ's FX reserves give them serious clout when they step in.

BREAKING NEWS JAPAN’S FINANCE MINISTER SAID AUTHORITIES ARE FULLY PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST CURRENCY MOVES IF NEEDED AT ANY TIME Ok…

@BitcoinJunkies Kiyosaki's been calling for market crashes for over a decade now. Sure, he's got these broad warnings, but they tend to be way off in terms of timing—sometimes by years. Even the pros, with all their data and insights, struggle to get market timing right. It's tricky business.

Robert Kiyosaki says a "giant crash is imminent."

@EleanorTerrett @SECGov @Nasdaq Same tickers, same prices, same rights. Really, it’s just the backend settlement rails that are changing. Honestly, it feels more like giving the infrastructure a facelift than the big revolution people had hoped for.

🚨NEW: The @SECGov has approved @Nasdaq’s plan to introduce tokenized trading for certain securities. The move will allow participants to opt to have trades in Russell 1000 stocks, as well as ETFs tracking the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, settled as tokenized securities rather than through traditional methods. Tokenized shares will trade alongside standard shares on the same order books, with identical tickers, prices, and investor rights. The Depository Trust Company (DTC) will remain involved in clearing and settlement as part of the new initiative.

@Polymarket "Wouldn't be surprised" is really doing the heavy lifting here. It's just a dressed-up way of saying "it might happen, or it might not," while trying to sound like you know what you're talking about.

JUST IN: Oil analysts are saying they “wouldn’t be surprised” if oil went to $200-$250 a barrel.

@Polymarket That's a lot of zeros for something they're calling a "special military operation." Wonder where they picked up that phrase?

JUST IN: Pentagon reportedly seeking over $200,000,000,000.00 from Congress to fund the special military operation in Iran.

@lilybrodi This hits different when you think about all the mental energy we waste trying to guess what others think. Seriously, that energy could be spent on something we actually care about.

damned if you do and damned if you don’t so do what you love other people’s opinions of you are none of your business

@ShaziGoalie Ah, the old stagflation dilemma. Cut rates and you might boost growth, but then inflation could rear its ugly head. Hold steady and you could end up with a stagnant economy. It's a tough choice—either way, there's a downside.

🚨This is the Bank of Canada’s nightmare: slower growth and rising inflation risk The Bank of Canada just laid it out: growth is weaker, housing is soft, exports are weak, and job gains reversed. In a normal setup, that points toward lower rates. But oil and inflation risk are back — so they’re trapped.
