$QQQI dividend just hit!💰
Here’s what my $360.84 this month could actually pay for:
✅ Gas → ~3.5 months
✅ Cell phone bill → ~4 months
✅ Car insurance → ~3 months
✅ Netflix Premium → 12 months
Take the cash or keep compounding?
#QQQI

English

Most people can find $20 a day.
That’s one less takeout meal, a couple coffees, or some random Amazon purchase you’ll forget about next week.
Put that $20/day into $QQQI.
Double it to $40 on Mondays, Fridays, and after market holidays.
After one year, you’ve invested roughly $7,300.
Assuming just 5% share appreciation, that’s about $7,665 invested.
At a 14% yield, you’re collecting around $1,073 per year in dividends.
That’s almost $90 every month.
And here’s the part most people miss…
Today’s $90/month becomes $500/month.
Then $1,000/month.
Then enough to cover your car payment, groceries, utilities, or even your mortgage.
Not from picking the next hot stock.
Not from getting lucky.
Just from buying assets every single day and letting time do the heavy lifting. 📈💰

DEBUNKING HAIR LOSS SUPPLEMENTS 😱
Biotin. Collagen. Saw palmetto. Pumpkin seed oil. Vitamin D. Zinc. Iron. Selenium.
The hair supplement industry has one of the best business models in health:
find something that matters in a deficiency
sprinkle it into a cute bottle
then imply everyone losing hair needs it.
That’s how you turn a cheap vitamin into an $88/month subscription.
And the trick works because hair loss makes people panic.
Nobody wants to “wait and see.” Nobody wants to hear “hair loss is genetic 95% of the time”
People want to feel like they’re doing something. So the industry sells them that feeling.
BIOTIN 🌿
The most famous “hair vitamin” on earth. Also one of the most overhyped.
Yes, biotin deficiency can cause hair problems.
But that does not mean megadosing biotin grows hair in normal, non-deficient adults.
Most hair gummies use 3,000–5,000 mcg. Not because that dose is proven to regrow hair.
Because it looks impressive on a label.
And the funniest part is that high-dose biotin can mess with blood tests, including thyroid labs and cardiac troponin.
So the most popular hair supplement may do more to confuse your labs than grow your hair.
COLLAGEN 🧬
Collagen is perfect hair marketing.
Hair is protein. Collagen is protein.
Therefore collagen grows hair.
Sounds clean. Feels intuitive.
But your body does not ship intact collagen straight to your scalp.
You digest it into amino acids and small peptides, like other proteins.
Could protein intake matter? Of course.
Is collagen a proven treatment for androgenetic alopecia?
No.
SAW PALMETTO 🌿
Saw palmetto is the cleverest one.
The story is: “natural finasteride.”
The evidence is not.
Older human Permixon studies found no serum/plasma DHT reduction.
The famous 100-man hair-loss comparison against finasteride did not measure DHT at all:
No serum DHT.
No scalp DHT.
No tissue DHT.
It was an open-label photo-score study without a placebo group.
And somehow that became a marketing weapon for “natural DHT blocking.”
Fun to dream? Sure.
Enough to call saw palmetto natural finasteride?
Absolutely not. The literature weighs more to the side that: saw palmetto has no effect on serum DHT, scalp DHT, or hair growth.
That is the whole supplement playbook: take a weak signal, strip out the caveats, and sell the mechanism.
There is no clinical proof that Saw Palmetto has any effect on scalp or serum DHT in humans.
PUMPKIN SEED OIL 🛢️
This is one of our favorite supplement tricks. The headline everyone repeats:
“Pumpkin seed oil increased hair count by 40%.”
Sounds insane. Then you read the study. Cho 2014. 76 men. 24 weeks.
The actual gain was 6.2 hairs in the pumpkin seed group vs 1.8 hairs in placebo.
So the magic “40% increase” was really about 4 extra hairs over placebo.
That’s how you make weak data sound huge: use percentages when the absolute number is tiny.
Hair thickness? No difference. So they didn’t even show the new hairs were meaningfully thicker.
DHT? Also not measured. No serum DHT. No scalp DHT.
So the supplement marketers somehow turned: “small study finds a few extra hairs in a lens field”
Into: “pumpkin seed oil is a natural DHT blocker.”
That is not science.
That is marketing alchemy.
For scale, finasteride’s Phase 3 data showed a 107-hair advantage over placebo at 12 months in a defined 1-inch circle.
Pumpkin seed oil showed about 4 extra hairs over placebo in a much less standardized field, with no thickness change and no DHT endpoint.
That’s not a hair-loss treatment.
That’s a percentage headline doing all the work.
VITAMIN D, ZINC, IRON 📏
These are the ones people get wrong in both directions.
They can matter.
But mostly when you are deficient:
Low ferritin can matter.
Low vitamin D can matter.
Zinc deficiency can matter.
But correcting a deficiency is completely different from taking a random “hair growth blend” because your shower drain scared you.
The right move is testing.
Not guessing.
SELENIUM + VITAMIN A 🌵
This is where the whole industry starts to look ridiculous.
Some “hair health” supplements contain nutrients that can literally cause hair loss when you overdo them.
Too much selenium can cause hair loss.
Too much vitamin A can cause hair loss.
A mislabeled liquid selenium supplement once contained about 200x the labeled dose.
Hair loss was reported in 72% of cases.
So yes:
a supplement sold for “hair health” can cause the exact problem people are trying to fix.
THE PATTERN 👀
Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
Most hair supplements are built on:
tiny trials
sponsor-funded studies
ingredient extrapolation
deficiency logic
before/after photos
influencer ads
“clinically proven” language that sounds stronger than it is
Supplements can help if you have a real deficiency.
They are not magic hair-growth pills.
If you have androgenetic alopecia, the evidence base is still strongest for treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
Most people buying hair supplements are not buying evidence.
They are buying relief from uncertainty.
They are buying the feeling that they’re doing something.
And that feeling is one hell of a business model.

Yes Makar is a generational defensemen. But him being out shouldn’t cause you to lose both games on home ice.
No one has comeback from 2-0 down at home in a conference final since 1945. Series is likely done #GoAvsGo

@ExxAlerts What does the ending of this statement have to do with him being in a car accident
English

ALERT: Disgraced ex-MLB pitcher gets t-boned in his $600,000 McLaren, says, "dude, what the f*ck?"
Trevor Bauer was driving his McLaren 765LT in Scottsdale, Arizona, when a driver t-boned him, sending the car spinning, jumping a curb, and smashing into a pole on the sidewalk.
People close to Bauer say he was safely driving the speed limit in his own lane when the accident occurred.
Bauer has not played in the MLB since being accused of s*xual assault allegations in 2021 and has been desperately trying to make a comeback.
