@JoePompliano What an idiot lol. Should have negotiated terms like 10% on the first 100m then 1-2% for earnings after.

Fernando Tatis Jr. has lost his lawsuit against Big League Advance.
Tatis was paid $2 million as a minor leaguer in exchange for 10% of his future earnings.
This was not a loan.
If Tatis didn't make it to the big leagues, he didn't have to repay the $2 million.
But Tatis did make it to the big leagues and later signed a 14-year, $340 million contract.
That meant Tatis owed Big League Advance $34 million.
Tatis had publicly praised Big League Advance, saying the $2 million allowed him to hire a personal trainer, upgrade his apartment, and eat better food.
But after realizing he owed $34 million in exchange for $2 million, Tatis sued the company, alleging that they used predatory tactics to lure him into an investment deal that was really an illegal loan.
The judge disagreed.
The agreement was upheld this week and Tatis was even ordered to pay Big League Advance’s legal fees.
This is a big deal because Big League Advance has signed deals with 700+ athletes, including Elly De La Cruz (MLB) and Nolan Smith (NFL), across MLB, NFL, and college sports (think: NIL).
And now that the courts have ordered Fernando Tatis Jr. to follow through on the agreement, other potential legal challenges will likely go the same way.

You will pay into Social Security for 40 years.
$9,000 a year.
$360,000 total.
Out of your paycheck. Not optional.
Your return?
Maybe $2,000 a month at retirement.
That won’t cover rent in most American cities.
Now imagine that same $360,000 invested in an index fund for 40 years.
At a 7% average return?
$1.8 million.
Same money. Same 40 years.
Completely different future.
But you don’t get that choice.
You fund a broken system whether you trust it or not.
And then they wonder why younger generations have checked out.

The health consciousness stuff has gone massively overboard. People walking around with bands tracking their vital signs every second of the day like they’re astronauts on the ISS. Treating alcohol or sugar like it’ll kill them if they look at it. Tracking their sleep. Counting their steps. It’s possible to live a healthy life without being an obsessive, paranoid lunatic. You’re gonna die either way. In a few decades you’ll be just as dead as the rest of us, if not sooner. Relax a little and live your life while you still can.

I sat next to an adult couple on the plane who brought Nerds, M&Ms, Cheetos, & Slim Jims with them & drank regular Cokes when offered by the stewardess
I was disgusted. They could have been freebasing heroin in front of me and I would not have held a lower opinion of them
It was a 2.5 hr flight. God forbid they read or do something that doesn’t degrade their body or mind to kill the time

@NStephey @MattWalshBlog So were eggs back in the 90s. "Muh cholesterol". It's all bullshit. Nothing, in moderation, will kill you. Literally nothing.

The anti-alcohol stuff has become totally hysterical. It’s the worst and the gayest of the 90s anti-smoking propaganda all over again. Give up alcohol if you want but the stuff isn’t battery acid. A sip won’t send you to the hospital. A glass of wine ruined three days of your life? When did it become normal and acceptable for men to brag about their weak constitutions? Really weird.

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”

@EndlessDreamFi @pepemoonboy Risk is definitely to the downside in bitcoin. Wouldn't touch it here. I'm still holding some $gbtc from <$10, but that's it.

@pepemoonboy I disagree here is my take its all lies

🚨 BITCOIN (bitcoin:native) TO $60K BY END OF JULY? Don’t Let Iran Deal News Fool You — Don’t Be Long Forget price watching & hopium. Track the liquidity. bitcoin:native at $76K (-39% drawdown from $126K ATH). Heavy leverage at 77-76K got wiped, but the main liquidation pools sit between 70K-60k. 24h liqs: $621M (80%+ longs). OI: $126B. Macro trigger: Sticky inflation blocks Fed cuts → stronger USD, risk-off + thin summer volume = perfect storm. Break $70K → cascade into $65K then $60K liquidity pool. Don’t fight the sweep. #Bitcoin #Crypto #LiquiditySweep

We may see the biggest green candle we’ve ever laid eyes on next week…

The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter
BREAKING: President Trump says an agreement with Iran has been “largely negotiated” and will be announced shortly. Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened under the agreement.
English
@pepemoonboy Market stopped caring about Iran war news a long time ago whether it was bad or good
English
@21mattsmith1998 You got the right thought process. This has been in the works for weeks. Buy the rumor and sell the news.
English
@pepemoonboy I mean we've literally been on the craziest runs in history since strikes stopped as the market is always forward looking. I'm not bearish but I can't understand how the crazy rip wasnt pricing this in already. Probably green regardless Tuesday anyways.
English
@pepemoonboy That could actually mark the top. A rumored peace deal has been the works for weeks. Ever hear of "buy the rumor, sell the news"?
English
@pepemoonboy So many haters and doubters that want to doompost the world into oblivion because they don’t understand Trump.
Both sides wants this war to end quickly, but Iran needs it to end more than the USA. Very few people actually understand how leverage works in negotiations.
English
faces will be melted.
millionaires will be minted.
Serenity@aleabitoreddit
Well, looks like Iran War is about to end. Markets/Indexes are probably going like this Monday. Probably even better for Europe/Taiwan/Korean equities that were dragged down more from oil fears. If something goes up during this time… probably goes higher in better macro.

@pepemoonboy @jksti The point is...if everyone thought like you (which you think they should), how would anything get done? We need people with the mindset your le "fascinated" about.
English
@jksti Talking down to? Brother what lol? Talking about the mindset of working until you’re 65 is not “talking down” to people. If this offends you, feel free to unfollow. I want winners in my corner, not people who are offended by this very simple message

It fascinates me how the average person doesn’t take the time to analyze how short life truly is.
They spend their best years driving hundreds of hours in traffic to a depressing office, where they have to ask other adults for permission to take vacation with their families, while hoping that one day, when they’re 65 years old they can potentially retire.
Do people not realize we are not guaranteed to live to 65 years old? Let alone 55, 45…or even 30?
We have ONE life and the amount of time we have is a mystery.
Nothing is guaranteed.
Chase your dreams. Take risk. Spend time with your family and friends. Ask out that person you’ve had a crush on. Pray. Get in the best shape of your life.
LIVE.
I promise you will not regret doing any of these things when you are on your deathbed.
Do what truly matters.
Escape the matrix.
Pepe Invests@pepemoonboy
This is exactly why I plan to quit my job making $300k+. I want to spend as much time as I can with my family, while I’m young and healthy. I’ve made enough to where I can afford a full year of no income in order to spend more time with family. I will always be building and I have faith I can build a company, at whatever pace I desire, that will one day generate me more than my current job. I’m not guaranteed a certain amount of time on this earth…no one is. So I’m going to live like it.
English
@pepemoonboy Fascinating that those people make the world work if everybody lived the way you want to nothing would get done. Who would deliver your groceries? Who would build your house? Who would clean the streets? Those are the people you’re talking down to.
English
No one said anything was handed to you, but it’s impossible for everyone to live the quality of life that you’re going for so when you say you don’t understand why people go to offices and sit under fluorescent lights that’s what I’m saying there’s always going to be a huge percentage of the population that has to live like that for you to be able to live the way you want to.
English
@pepemoonboy Taking risk could be exactly what makes you need to be a slave for life though.

@JoeA1984 @BobbyOnlyOne @GayBearRes Opposite, I am urging you not to move here. It is getting too crowded.
English
@kewldadd @BobbyOnlyOne @GayBearRes Imagine caring about where strangers want to live.... Imagine thinking everyone should want to live where you live...
English
@BobbyOnlyOne @GayBearRes Lol...they all do. Imagine hating low taxes, warm weather, and beautiful beaches.
English
@GayBearRes As a long time Floridian, I would highly recommend it. Central Florida is one of the fastest growing MARS in the country and our beaches are top notch. And we don't have winter.
