A famous abolitionist once claimed that a penny saved is a penny earned, but if Abe Lincoln were married to a successful nurse in San Francisco California today, then a penny saved is more like 3 pennies earned... Indirect taxes are literally slavery where you choose a landlord

@TiffanyFong @Polymarket It could mean they ran a PCR amplification cycle 12 times and the person had one tiny fragment of hantavirus rna in the sample. Sounds like practically the same as a negative test result with that word choice.

JUST IN: U.S. citizen tests “mildly positive” for hantavirus after departing from the MV Hondius cruise ship.

@CryptoNobler Those options cost one penny, even with expiration dates years in the future right, so it makes more sense to look at contract values than volume. Could just be 3 crazy billionaires buying options for $0.001 each right? Still strange, unless they are kilos or something, not oz?

🚨 WARNING: SOMETHING VERY UNUSUAL IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!! Insiders are nonstop buying silver options at the $900–$1,000. Meanwhile, paper silver is trading at $80. This means THEY EXPECT SILVER TO PUMP 1,200% OVERNIGHT. And this is NOT retail flow… Here’s why it matters: This positioning didn’t appear at market highs. It’s sitting DEEP out of the money. We’re talking 10–15x ABOVE spot price. That’s the detail most people overlook. Retail reacts to what’s happening now. Smart money positions for what happens next. Even with silver near ~$80… Open interest is heavily concentrated in the $900–$1,000 zone. We’re talking massive contract volume stacked at the far edge of the chain. And here’s the key: Max pain is sitting down near ~$300. Spot is ~$80. But the largest positioning is almost 15x higher. That is NOT normal. That is NOT hedging. That is NOT standard positioning. That is a direct bet on a full-scale repricing of silver. Now connect the dots. The war with Iran is intensifying and global tensions are rising fast. Markets WILL feel the impact. No mainstream analyst is projecting $1,000 silver. Yet that’s exactly where the largest bets are building. That tells you everything. This is NOT positioning for an ordinary rally. This is positioning for a monetary reset, a systemic shock, and a market breakdown. Those events WILL force silver into real price discovery. And timing is everything. This isn’t happening at the height of hype. It’s building quietly, out of sight, while the crowd is distracted. That single detail says it all. Because serious capital doesn’t chase headlines. It positions where conviction is lowest. So what does it mean? It’s simple: Someone with deep capital is paying for EXTREME upside in silver - from $80 to $1,000. That’s not a gamble. That’s preparation. I’ve spent a decade studying market cycles and calling market tops. And I’m calling it again in 2026. Follow now and turn notifications on. Don’t end up as exit liquidity.

@larry95799 @Apolitical3678 No. Jews are at the root of many problems, but they are also fighting for what is right. Check out this rabbi who worked tirelessly to free the J6 political prisoners. youtu.be/NZt-kpCKEYs

@geoliberal @Apolitical3678 🤢🤮 really? You're happy to live as a jëwish debit slave?

You may not understand how or why, but this is the logical conclusion of letting jews run your country

@grok @FinanceLancelot Right... bearish volatility is like a zig-zag.

**Good question.** There *were* extreme negative VOLD spikes in 2008-2009 (especially Oct 2008 panic days with massive down-volume dominance). They just weren't as sustained or record-shattering on weekly charts as today's positive extreme. Selling capitulations are usually sharp, short bursts of panic. Current upside is fueled by structural buying: passive ETFs, institutional flows, and rebalancing that create more persistent net up-volume in this bull. Market structure has evolved since '08, amplifying one-sided pressure differently. Not impossible—just asymmetric dynamics.

$VOLD is at an extreme level, never before in history not even in 2000. It measures the net difference between up-volume and down-volume on the New York Stock Exchange. $VOLD = $UVOL − $DVOL (net up-volume) It’s considered one of the slower-moving but most powerful market internals because volume reflects real money flow (“the horsepower behind the move”). We're witnessing something that has never happened before.

@grok @FinanceLancelot If it is capitulation buying or forced portfolio buying or market maker hedging, why was there no comparable negative VOLD during 2008 or 2009 capitulations?

**The VOLD ($UVOL - $DVOL) spike on that NYSE weekly chart is real and extreme.** It shows net up-volume hitting levels far above anything seen in the 2000 dot-com peak or the past 25+ years — basically massive buying pressure where far more shares are traded rising than falling. This is happening amid a broad 2026 bull run (S&P ~7400, Nasdaq at ATHs). Strong inflows, institutional buying, and momentum in big-cap stocks are driving it. Volume internals like this often confirm powerful trends but can precede short-term exhaustion when they get this stretched. Not "impossible" — just uncharted territory for the indicator.

The Archibald Prize is Australia’s most prestigious art prize. This is the winning entry 100 years ago vs the winning entry this year.

My first degree was a masters in maths. My second was a masters in education. The difference is night and day. The education degree is a joke. The only challenging aspect is thinking which thoughts and ideas you need to hold back on to not upset the clearly leftist ""'professor""". You don't learn anything useful. You just learn to adopt and use educational lingo: saying nice-sounding cliches that have zero substance to them.

@foundring1 I'm a fan of Rev. Gary Davis playing rag guitar.

They even tried to Netflix my boy! "In the past some claimed that Harney was African-American. All photographic and contemporary accounts show that Harney was light skinned with red hair."

This is Ben Harney. He published the first ragtime song in 1895. The NYT said he did more to popularize ragtime than anyone else. Time Magazine called him ragtime's father. But why is he mostly forgotten? Why does Wikipedia credit a black composer for the first rag? He was white.

I'm for making mammal meat practically illegal, especially on an industrial scale, but this is unbelievably cruel and malicious to the elderly. The authors of the policy are literally saying, "You've lived too long and used up your carbon quota".

A data center uses as much power as a city! So people want to stop them. But that’s dumb. "Electricity replaces human labor and allows us to do more and better things," says @paigelambermont of @ceidotorg. Here's why we need MORE data centers, not fewer:

Every AI chip on Earth starts as a crystal pulled from a pool of molten silicon at 1 millimeter per minute. TSMC, Samsung, and Intel cannot make them without it. In the Czochralski process, a seed crystal the size of a pencil dips into a crucible at 1,414°C. As it is slowly pulled upward, silicon atoms lock into a single crystal lattice. The boule grows to 300 millimeters in diameter, 2 meters in length, and 265 kilograms. Purity: 99.999999999%. Nothing humans have ever made at industrial scale comes close. One atom of the wrong element per 100 billion can shift the electrical properties of every chip cut from that crystal. Two Japanese companies, Shin-Etsu and SUMCO, produce over 50% of the world's 300mm semiconductor wafers. A single wafer sells for $150 to $300. A finished AI chip cut from it sells for over $30,000. China's largest silicon wafer maker, Zhonghuan, serves the solar panel market at six nines of purity. Semiconductor grade requires eleven. Japan has held that gap for 40 years. You can melt silicon anywhere. But you cannot grow a perfect crystal without decades of process knowledge.
