Unpopular opinion after a few weeks in the US…
At the highest level, American restaurants are better than anywhere else on earth.
Yes, better than Europe.
Yes, better than Asia.
Yes better than LatAm.
If you disagree, you’re either broke or haven’t been.

@RaminNasibov At least they still give welcome kits, most of tech doesn't anymore.
English
It’s funny that even a company at the edge of human progress hasn't found anything better for a welcome pack than gift socks.

@BRICSinfo Wow… if true, that’s a serious escalation 😳. The idea that U.S. aircraft were destroyed before even leaving Iranian airspace shows how tense and high-stakes the situation is. Definitely something to watch closely, hoping for a de-escalation soon.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Footage shows wreckage of US Black Hawk helicopters and C-130 military transport aircraft destroyed by US forces before departing Iran.

Is it just me, or does £7.50 for a coffee and a croissant in a cafe seem extortionate?

@ChubbyTrekka What a time to reach the middle east 😅

I’m Walking from the UK to Vietnam.
At the end of each day i mark my camping spot or hotel on the map. Each day it might not feel like Ive made much progress, but if you zoom out, it shows just how far I’ve come since starting this epic journey. Over 7000km done, 10,000km to go!

If you’re in the UK, this is one of the easiest ways to build wealth....
A SIPP.
Here’s why..
You invest £100
The government adds £25
That’s an instant 25% return.
Now imagine that..
Invested monthly
Inside a tax-efficient wrapper
Compounding for 20–30 years
Most people ignore pensions.
However, this is where serious wealth is built.
Keep it simple, S&P 500 $VUSA / Nasdaq 100 $EQQQ

@KelleyS88352039 @FirstSquawk How's it feel to have your tax dollars literally being blown up?

@FirstSquawk Why don’t you just openly admit you are rooting for the bad guys??? If you believe this crap.. ocean front property in AZ…

Prophet of the Prophets Headquarters: Yesterday, we shot down an F-35 aircraft, 3 drones, 2 cruise missiles, 2 Black Hawk helicopters, and an A-10 fighter jet

@AstiRoyale @theparthrastogi Agree 100% with all of these.

@theparthrastogi Your best bet is Singapore tbh.
Politically the most stable out there.
Economically worth it.
Socially ... Not declined.

@ThierryBorgeat Well someone missed out on buying SpaceX shares and is salty 👀

THE GREATEST EXIT EVER 🚨
SpaceX will be the biggest wealth transfer in stock market history.
Not from rich to poor.
Not from poor to rich.
From passive ETF investors to SpaceX insiders.
Here's the machine:
Nasdaq changes its rules → SpaceX joins the index on Day 15
Hedge funds front-run the forced bid → price explodes
Your QQQ is legally forced to buy at the top
Lock-up expires → insiders sell billions
Passive funds forced to buy again
1,000x earnings.
125x sales.
You are not investing in SpaceX.
You are the exit liquidity.

Something deeply uncomfortable is happening to the Nasdaq-100. SpaceX is targeting a $1.75 trillion IPO. Nasdaq wants the listing over NYSE. So Nasdaq is rewriting its own rulebook. Here's what they are proposing: 1️⃣ "Fast Entry" rule: any mega-cap IPO gets added to the index after just 15 trading days — bypassing all standard seasoning and liquidity requirements. 2️⃣ A 5x multiplier for low-float stocks: if SpaceX floats just 5% of shares, passive funds are forced to buy as if it were weighted at 25% of total market cap — $438 billion of phantom weighting. The result? Tens of billions of price-insensitive passive dollars — your pension, your ETF, your QQQ — are legally mandated to buy SpaceX at whatever price it trades to on Day 15. Hedge funds will front-run this guaranteed bid aggressively. Then when the lock-up expires, insiders flood the market with shares — at the exact moment passive funds are again forced to buy more. "If you're playing a poker game and you look around the table and can't tell who the sucker is, it's you." The sucker is every passive investor in a Nasdaq ETF.

@InvestWithTimmy @GrindeOptions Their market float will only be $50-70B. It will get absorbed very quickly.
English
@FloatingGorilla @GrindeOptions It depends of course on the amount of shares they offer and how fast. I think market sentiment should definitely be positive for SpaceX.
English
I don’t think I’m going to be buying the SpaceX IPO at the $2 trillion valuation.
Gonna wait until the dust settles.
English
@MrSelfEmployed @GrindeOptions Already reports SpaceX may have no lock up period. They are that confident people will not dump on IPO.
English
Smart move honestly. The IPO is targeting $1.75 to $2 trillion with a $50 to $75 billion raise. That’s 87x revenue. History says mega IPOs almost always correct after the initial hype. Facebook dropped 53% in three months. Alibaba fell 30% from its highs before the first lock up expired. SpaceX will likely have a multi stage lock up and when those expirations start hitting around month 4 to 6 you’re going to see insiders who’ve been locked up for 22 years finally taking some off the table. That selling pressure creates the entry. I’m grabbing a starter position at IPO because this is a once in a generation company but my real buying starts when the dust settles and the stock pulls back 20 to 30% from its peak
English
@InvestWithTimmy @GrindeOptions I don't think you understand how an IPO works 😂
English
@GrindeOptions How is the market ever going to absorb so many offered shares at the same time. Impossible
English
@xaigorgo @BoujeeFinances Keep dreaming. SpaceX is not dropping 40-50% unless the whole market collapses like 2008.
English
@BoujeeFinances Gotta be patient because it can pop before it drops. I’ll wait for it to be at least 40-50% down before even considering to buy in.
English
The SpaceX IPO valuation is leaving no money on the table to be had.
I have a feeling many will lose a lot of money on this.
I was extremely excited to finally buy into this company but now will just be adding it to the watchlist
English
@ThierryBorgeat Ye if little faith. SpaceX will be a $10T company by 2030. Save this post.
English
SpaceX IPO valuation: $2 trillion.
P/E ratio: ~1,000x.
For reference:
At 1,000x earnings, if SpaceX grew earnings 30% per year — every year — it would take 27 years to grow into its valuation.
At 50% earnings growth per year?
Still 18 years.
This isn't investing.
It's a pledge of faith.
SpaceX is extraordinary.
The technology is real.
Starlink is a genuine monopoly.
But at these multiples, you are not buying the company.
You are buying the dream.
And dreams don't always compound.

@bombdiggy__ I just got rid of my Amex Platinum this week. Benefits no longer worth the cost.
English
Could be wrong but I feel like Amex is falling off slightly. The only thing that made them special was Avios points and airport lounge passes for majority users and now everyone does them. With my Revolut I get pretty much the same benefits. Time to close Amex I think

@FloatingGorilla @faktenbasis @Polymarket So they worth like viasat. Check it out. You will be disappointed 😞

BREAKING: SpaceX has reportedly boosted its target IPO valuation above $2 trillion.
30% chance it happens. polymarket.com/event/what-wil…
English
@faktenbasis @Polymarket Starlink will power the vast majority of airplanes with WiFi soon. That alone will be billions in reoccurring revenue.
English
@Polymarket why not 3 trillion? 2 seems a bit low with 15 bill revenue LOL
