Instead of watching a 2-hour movie, watch Warren Buffett’s most iconic 1 hour investing lecture.

this chart was made in 1875. predicted panics in 1927, 1945, 1965, 1981, 1999, 2019. got most of them right. next panic year on the chart.. 2035. next "good times to sell" peak.. 2026. 150 years old and still more accurate than most analysts on your timeline…

Sam Altman literally gave a 43-minute masterclass on turning ideas into billion-dollar companies:

Buffett, Active Investing and Index Funds... In 2008, Warren Buffett issued a challenge to the hedge fund industry, and a million-dollar bet was made. Buffett's position was that, including fees, costs and expenses, an S&P 500 index fund would outperform a hand-picked portfolio of hedge funds over 10 years. The bet pit two investing philosophies against each other: passive and active investing. Buffett picked the S&P500 Index. The hedge funders picked their actively managed funds. At the end of ten years, they looked back and Buffett won. A recent article in Bloomberg reinforces this point. Only one equity mutual fund, the $7.1B Baron Partners Fund, has outperformed the Invesco QQQ ETF (Nasdaq ETF) over the past 5, 10 and 15 years. Said differently, passively investing in the Nasdaq ETF exposed you to the gains of the best companies of this era without you having to do any work or diligence. All the best companies were part of the ETF. When one of those company lagged, their composition in the index fell or dropped all together. And when a company did well, their composition in the index would increase or they were added if they weren't part of it beforehand. Passive investing allowed the ETF manager to define simple rules and then do all the work for you. The companies it picked, because of its rigid rules, turned out to be far superior to those picked by active investors. So much so that only ONE fund (out of thousands) managed to beat the ETF. The lesson is that for most people, they will find that this is the superior method for investing in the stock market. Allocate some money (say each month) to a very low cost ETF and then let the ETF manager, natural selection and compounding do the rest.

Great chat with @chamath! He has a way to draw you out. The 2 hours felt like 20 minutes for me. Many thanks! 🙏🙏🙏

@Channa_Amare @UTASriLanka The AUM is low

Lynear Wealth was #1 equity unit trust (UT) in #CSE #lka in 2025 with a return of 63% Only five other equity UTs beat ASPI's total return of 49% - Most beat S&L SL20 total return of 33% But one year returns may be misleading ➡️ Better to look at five year averages @UTASriLanka

Chamath's best trade idea for 2026 is not a stock. It is copper. "We are still completely underestimating how short we are in terms of the global demand and supply dynamics of a handful of critical elements that we need. The asset that is set up to go absolutely parabolic is copper. The reason is that it is, at least as it stands today, the most useful, cheap, and amenable conductive material that we have That material manifests in everything from our data centers, to chips, to our weapon systems. It is just everywhere, everywhere, everywhere"

The Top Hedge Funds of 2025 Apis Capital led the pack at 55.1%, with several Tiger Cubs, including Tiger Global, Lone Pine, and Maverick, making the cut.

@CryptoNobler OOPS

🚨 JAPAN WILL CRASH THE MARKETS NEXT WEEK!! Japan is currently sitting on $10 TRILLION in debt. All Japan’s yields just hit the highest levels ever recorded. Bank of Japan calls an emergency monetary policy meeting. Their economy is collapsing, and nobody is prepared for what comes next. If Japan goes down, it takes the global financial system with it. They only survived because rates were pinned near zero. Now that anchor is gone. As yields rise, the math turns violent. Debt service explodes. Government revenue gets eaten by interest. No modern economy sustains this without pain: → Default → Restructuring → Or inflation Pick your poison. But here’s where it hits everyone else. Japan owns trillions in foreign assets. Over $1 trillion in U.S. Treasuries. Hundreds of billions in global stocks and bonds. They bought foreign assets because Japanese yields paid nothing. Now Japanese bonds finally pay real yields. After hedging, U.S. Treasuries actually lose money for Japanese investors. This isn’t panic. It’s math. Capital comes home. Hundreds of billions leaving global markets isn’t a slow adjustment. It’s a liquidity black hole. Then there’s the yen carry trade - over $1 trillion borrowed cheaply in yen and dumped into stocks, crypto, EM, anything with yield. As Japanese rates rise and the yen strengthens, those trades blow up. Forced selling starts. Margin calls spread. Correlations go to one. At the same time: → U.S.–Japan yield spreads are collapsing → Japanese capital has less reason to stay overseas → U.S. borrowing costs rise whether the Fed wants it or not And the Bank of Japan hasn’t even finished. Another hike in January? The yen spikes. Carry trades unwind harder. Global risk assets feel it immediately. Japan won’t print its way out this time. Inflation is already hot. Print more → yen drops → import costs surge → domestic crisis. They’re trapped between debt and currency - and the exit is closing. For 30 years, Japanese yields were the invisible anchor holding global rates down. Every portfolio since the '90s depended on it - whether investors knew it or not. That anchor just snapped. Stocks dump. Bonds dump. Crypto dumps. This is how “nothing is wrong” turns into everything breaking at once. The world is moving into a rate regime almost no one alive has traded before. I warned you before Japan crashed the market last month. And I'll do it again this time. Make sure to follow and turn on notifications before it's too late.

SILVER TAUGHT ME THIS LESSON YEARS AGO. Decade-long base. Everyone bored. Then it finally cleared $54… and ripped. Bitcoin is running the same playbook: Long base. Seller exhaustion. Violent repricing. Same structure. Different asset.

Algorithmic trading is the domain of secretive hedge funds and banks. Python unlocked these secrets for everyone (even Goldman Sachs has an open-source tool). Use the same tools the professionals use. Here are 17 Python libraries that open the black box:

Suddhi from #LMF? LMF recently launched 'Suddhi' UHT milk, at same price as flagship Ambewela brand, i.e. Rs500/l But Suddhi is standardised milk, which is processed to have a consistent fat %, while Ambewela full cream milk has higher fat % ➡️ Standardised milk has lower cost
