مليونير إفريقي يسافر خصيصًا لفيتنام بعد ما أُعجب بفتاة يدخل بيت أهلها ويعرض الزواج أمام الجميع ويعدهم بتحويل حياتهم من الفقر إلى ثراء فاحش يحاول إقناعها بكل الطرق وسط ترقب العائلة لكن في لحظة حاسمة تقطع كل التوقعات بردة فعل صادمة قلبت الأجواء رأسًا على عقب وتركت الأم والعمة وكل الأقارب في حالة حزن وذهول كبير
النهاية التي لم يتوقعها أحد
@SubtleInduction@SmedleyButlerUS I sold all my 30 year treasuries which was providing me adequate income for my expenses so if rates do drop I have to slightly dip into principle for expenses and it’s expensive to live in California.
Gold/Bonds versus Rates
Currently the exact same profile as the 1981/2 Volcker Peak and the 2007/8 GFC.
At a certain point, proving this thesis over and over again >5,000 times is going to get too boring to continue.
We know what will happen by now.
It's a matter of time.
@Skylarjderouen I may be missing out but I do believe it is appointed for man once to die and then judgement. Read the Book of John just once and if it doesn’t resonate then enjoy yourself while you can.
Our friend bought a car for $95,000:
Financed it at 4.9% for 72 months & total payment is $1,150/mo.
Instead of paying cash, they invested in a fund that pays ~16% interest.
They will use interest from the fund to cover the ~$14,000/yr payment.
...Would you do the same!?
@commonsenseplay I had a trade that was profitable but I had to hold it for a few years. I was down 15% at one point and I did not outperform money market. I viewed it as a losing trade. You may be in a similar position. Profitable overall, but a lot of pain in the meantime.
$TLT is a 12 month trade for me.
So far YTD $TLT is actually slightly in profit.
While the $QQQ is down nearly 5% and the $SPY IS down 4%.
In 2026 Bonds will continue to outperform Equities.
Judge this trade on Dec 31st 2026.
Some people have commented on my oil short last and maybe forget that I said I would not carry overnight risk unless I was at a good size profit and oil had a bad close. The trade already paid for the risk as I captured a profit intraday. I am no longer short oil, but will look for another opportunity. If you want to make big money trading, the first thing you need to do is get off being right or wrong and focus on risk versus reward. I'm wrong just as often as I am right. So pointing out that I may have made a mistake on one of my trades is meaningless, and just reveals you're an amateur.
@commonsenseplay@Finntrade169762 That’s actually not bad considering how $TLT is trading well below all the major moving averages and is in position to attack the lows. Should be a gap down on Monday based on Friday’s bond trading.
$OKLO - Back in October this was a $20 billion dollar company. Their whole office is smaller than a Wendy's.
I shorted this stupid bubble and made 120% returns over the last few months as the bubble finally burst. Dropped from $190 to now sub $50.
Hope you listened.
As usual, a better-than-expected Mar. jobs report, likely to be revised lower, grabs the headlines, masking the downward revision to Feb. 43% of the new jobs were in healthcare, while labor force participation and the annual rise in average earnings were the lowest in five years.
Had dinner with a guy last week. 38. Engineer at a tech company. $220k salary.
He's been paper trading options for two years. Waiting until he's "ready."
I asked him what ready looked like.
He said he wanted to understand every Greek, every strategy, every edge case before putting real money in.
I get it. But here's the problem:
Two years of paper trading is two years of premium you didn't collect.
If he'd started with $25k and sold conservative spreads at 1-2% monthly, that's $250-$500/month for 24 months.
Real money. Real compounding. Real reps.
Instead he has a perfect paper portfolio and zero live experience.
Here's what I would've done:
Start with 10% of what you're willing to risk. Make the trades real. Feel the P&L move. Learn what it's like to hold a position through a volatile morning.
You don't learn options by studying them. You learn them by trading them — with stakes small enough that a loss won't hurt you and real enough that it will.
Preparation is good. Permanent preparation is just fear with a better name.
I'm not supposed to give investment advice, but compliance has never said I can't suggest overweighting US Treasuries :)
Tinderbox Seeking a Spark: US Treasuries vs. Gold
A basic factor may be all that's needed to spur some reversion from the lowest US Treasury prices vs. gold since 1982: a modest rebound in stock-market volatility. The ancient store of value, which has outperformed most assets and commodities for decades -- notably risk adjusted -- may have run its course. Gold has achieved its highest-ever status vs. the Bloomberg Commodity Spot Index (in data since 1960) and is stretched vs. most moving averages, last comparable to its roughly $850-an-ounce peak in 1980. That apex lasted until 2008. I see parallels. The graphic highlights the lowest Bloomberg US Treasury Total Return Index vs. gold since 1982. Is it time to sell gold and buy Treasuries?
My bias leans that way due to the highest US stock market cap-to-GDP in about a century, buried volatility and rolling-over Bitcoin.
