@Her_Nonymous_D It’s the little things tha matter

My husband once flew from Houston to Chicago because his sister was having her first baby. She was alone. The baby’s father was deployed, and everything about that moment felt bigger because of it. He didn’t overthink it. He just booked the flight and went. He sat in that waiting room for 14 hours. Quiet, steady, not making a big deal out of it. Read a book, drank way too much vending machine coffee, and just… stayed. When his sister finally came out of recovery, she was holding the baby. Tired, emotional, overwhelmed in that way only new mothers understand. She looked at him and said, “You didn’t have to come.” And he just shrugged a little and said, “I know.” She smiled, eyes a little teary, and said, “Thank you.” He shook his head and said, “Don’t thank me. Thank the…

@Ric_RTP He also said he doesn’t understand current companies so he is out of touch.

Warren Buffett just warned that the US dollar could collapse and admitted he doesn't understand most of the stock market anymore. 95 years old, sitting on $380 billion in cash, and the first time watching from the sidelines instead of actively investing. And what he revealed at this weekend's Berkshire shareholder meeting is genuinely concerning: On the market, Buffett didn't hold back. He compared it to "a church with a casino attached" and said the casino has never been more packed. On one-day options: "That is not investing. It's not speculating. It's gambling. Totally." He pointed to the Avis short squeeze THIS WEEK. A rental car company that's been around for 50 years getting meme-squeezed in 2026. The same behavior that blew up retail traders with GameStop is back, except now it's hitting boring legacy companies with zero business being volatile. "We have lots more regulation now, but people spend their time figuring out how to get around the rules rather than follow the rules." That one sentence explains more about the current market than every CNBC segment combined. When asked why he's hoarding $380 billion instead of investing it, Buffett said something no one expected: "I understand fewer of the businesses as a percentage of the whole than I did 10 years ago. I have not learned new industries for some years. I'm not going to have an edge on a whole bunch of younger people that have actually grown up with it." Think about what he's actually saying... This is a man who made $140 billion by understanding businesses better than anyone alive. And he's telling you the current market is so detached from reality that even HE can't make sense of what's being valued and why. He quoted IBM's Tom Watson Sr.: "I'm smart in spots and I stay around those spots." In 60 years of managing money, he said MAYBE five were "really juicy." Five out of sixty. That means 92% of his career was spent WAITING while everyone else gambled. And he still ended up richer than all of them. Then the conversation turned to inflation and that's where it gets really interesting: Buffett said America is "not immune" from runaway inflation. He brought up countries that went bankrupt "six or seven times" in his lifetime. Compared today to right before Volcker had to rescue the dollar, when Americans were borrowing at 12% to buy farmland earning 6% because they believed the dollar would disappear. "Cash is trash" was the mentality. Nebraska farmers collapsed because of it. Entire communities wiped out not by a recession but by a BELIEF that the currency was dying. And Buffett sees that same energy building again. Then someone asked the question everyone wanted answered: Do you see a crash coming? "If you saw it coming, it wouldn't happen. The things people are talking about and thinking about? It's not going to happen. But there are things that can come out of the blue." He compared it to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 that triggered World War I. Nobody was discussing or anticipating it. But it changed the world overnight. "That's particularly true now because of the things that can come out of the sky." A 95yo man who has survived every crash, every war, every crisis of the last six decades just told you the market is a casino, the dollar isn't safe, and the real collapse will be something nobody sees coming. $380 billion in cash is his answer because he believes things are about to get much worse.

@mitchellvii The volatility of the market adds a premium with prices swinging wildly.

Clearly retailers are gouging at this point. Oil at roughly $100 a barrel does NOT justify these prices.

@Twills08 Adjust for money printing and we aren’t gonna crash like you think.

Uncomfortable truth: If you were 55-65 yo during that “blip” in 2008, you would view things quite differently. I appreciate the rainbows and butterflies, but when you “zoom out”, you are reflecting on decades of data and movement. Your advice is appropriate for a 20 yo with $500 in $VOO, but it is an uncomfortable reality, rather than a truth, for those with their life earnings in the market facing 5-10 years of corrective movement.

@dustyslay @DieselBABE20 Exactly

@DieselBABE20 The people that sell us processed sugar

Who brainwashed us into believing sugar from real fruit is just as bad as processed sugar?

@kennygsbuttplug @la4052101 @andrewmichta @Delta Delta might win on paper by a hair in some metrics, but it’s not a meaningful or consistent advantage day-to-day.

@Joshexplains @la4052101 @andrewmichta @Delta I think the people that travel for work would disagree. Also, so where are they coming up short, and what data supports it?

I’m boarding @Delta in Atlanta for Amsterdam. Simply this: this airline is a disgrace. I never experienced this lousy customer service-rude gate agents, indifferent staff, my request prior to travel completely ignored. What has happened to this country’s airlines? Where is pride?

@kennygsbuttplug @la4052101 @andrewmichta @Delta slim edge just 1 fewer delay every 25 trips or so, offering negligible real-world difference

@Joshexplains @la4052101 @andrewmichta @Delta If the trailer park is every major US airline, then sure. Flying generally isn’t pleasant, but if you want to get there in time, Delta is objectively your best bet

@SteveOnSpeed I don’t understand why the house? I guess you can use it but the index will go up quicker and it’s already more.

Pick one: A paid‑off $2.5M home in your dream city $3M invested in index funds Rule: You can’t sell, borrow against, or move for 5 years.

@la4052101 @andrewmichta @Delta I don’t understand it. Delta is like the smartest kid in the trailer park.

@andrewmichta @Delta Delta is so over-rated. They’ve been living off of this inflated reputation. Atlanta Airport is one of the worst in the country.

@RichJWidmann That’s a Disney cruise you are describing.

My wife and I just returned from Disney with 3 and 4 yr old kids. They loved it. But the interactions with “Disney adults” left us with the feeling that we’d pay even more money (I know it’s already crazy pricey) for days at Disney reserved for families with kids under 12.

@theficouple 3 and I’m buying a billion dollar house.

You can have: 1. $1 million of cash 2. $6,000/mo for life 3. 2.5% 30 year mortgage on dream home ...Which would you choose?

@DailyLoud Why I don’t get it?

NFL players wife is going viral

@TheH0n3stTrader They all are

Who's the biggest scammer in the day-trading industry?

@DeFiTracer He’s just doing typical retirement planning.

🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 WARREN BUFFETT JUST STARTED SELLING ALL HIS RISK ASSETS HE HOLDS OVER $380 BILLION IN CASH RIGHT NOW AND KEEPS SELLING MORE THE LAST TIME HE DID THIS WAS RIGHT BEFORE THE GREAT RECESSION IN 2008 HE DEFINITELY KNOWS SOMETHING BAD IS COMING...

@DearS_o_n Absolutely it’s nothing.

Avoid friends who thinks $1,000,000 is a lot of money.

@aleabitoreddit Mention me I bet it won’t work.

I hate it that my account got so big. That I can’t mention another person anymore without them gaining 1K+ followers or going viral in the algo. Now endless people just make up stuff and bait me into replying…

@nypost This guy deserves jail time.

@GrindeOptions The people complaining don’t even have a million. Just justifying why they aren’t saving or investing more. Poor me attitude.

Why are people complaining that $1,000,000 isn’t enough to retire on? If there is no outstanding debt, high mortgage payments and lifestyle creep isn’t a thing, there shouldn’t be an issue. Take that $1,000,000 and putting it in a high savings account can yield upwards of 3.5% or $35,000/yr. Now, using that cash to sell options on high conviction stocks can yield CONSERVATIVELY .5% per week. That would be $5,000 per week or $260,000/yr. If you go more aggressively and you know what you’re doing, you could yield much higher percentages. You can most certainly live off that amount of cashflow. That doesn’t even include the compounding.

@Budgetdog_ Dang it wish I had seen this yesterday.

I earned $3,935.96 in social media revenue in April. Don’t quit your job for social media.

@HeroDividend He’s retired. Man needs cash for safety.

Warren Buffett knows something the rest of us don’t
