@SamaHoole @grok is this true information ?

Beef eating was widespread in ancient India. This is not controversial among historians. The Vedic texts, the foundational scriptures of Hinduism, are explicit about it. Cattle were slaughtered for feasts and religious ceremonies. The word "goghna," used in Sanskrit to describe an honoured guest, translates literally as "one for whom a cow is killed." The Rigveda describes the preparation of beef. Early Vedic ritual involved cattle sacrifice. The cow was not, in the earliest period of Indian civilisation, sacred in the sense of untouchable. Somewhere between 800 BC and the early centuries AD, this changed profoundly and permanently. The Brahmin priestly class elevated the cow to protected status. Beef eating became not merely discouraged but prohibited. The transformation was encoded in religious and then in legal texts. By the medieval period it was thoroughly established. The question worth spending a moment on is: why then, and why in that direction? The structural answer is this. As Indian agriculture became more sophisticated, cattle became the primary unit of agricultural capital. An ox ploughed your field. A cow produced your milk. A household with cattle had options: economic options, dietary options, the option of surviving a bad harvest. Cattle were self-sufficiency made visible. The Brahmin class and the landowner class had, in a stratified society, an interest in dependent peasants. A peasant who could not slaughter his cattle in hard times, who had been persuaded through religious law that to do so was a sin warranting severe spiritual consequence, was a peasant who needed the patronage system for survival. Who could not leave his position. Who was more manageable. The sacred cow is not simply a spiritual symbol. It is a land management tool. It is an economic constraint delivered through religious obligation. And it was delivered to the people who most needed the protein. They were told their hunger was a moral failing. They believed it. The belief held for two thousand years. It holds now.

@IncomeSharks What about $ chewy

$FRPT - Strong day on a red day. Premium pet food is a good hedge.

@IncomeSharks Anything about $chwy?

A quarter of my portfolio is in pet food and boring retail plays. The plays that aren't sexy and won't be all over the time line but are the ones I think actually will outperform the market this year. Not because they are better stocks but because the opportunity they present are

No matter where you go, Bali, Monaco, New Zealand, Switzerland, or even the most luxurious and peaceful places in the world, after 4–5 days, the feeling slowly becomes the same. Because you are still carrying yourself with you. Bali can feel spiritual, Monaco can feel elite and luxurious, and New Zealand can feel calm and untouched, but none of them can permanently fix what is unsettled inside you. If your inner self is not aligned, every place eventually feels familiar. The excitement fades, the scenery becomes normal, and the same thoughts return, just in a different location. That’s when you understand a simple truth. Most escapes are not solutions. They are distractions. If you don’t work on your inner world, even the most beautiful destination becomes temporary relief. But when your inner self is stable and clear, even an ordinary place feels peaceful. You are not traveling away from your problems. You are traveling with them. Fix your inner self first. Everything else follows.

@IncomeSharks The markets reward discipline, not emotion. You don't beat it, you survive it long enough to align with it.

The market is not designed to make you rich. The market doesn't care about you, it doesn't owe you anything, and you can't beat it. What you can do is be patient, wait for windows where it's easier to win, and to actually take profits when you strike gold or find an opportunity.

November not disappointing so far. Crypto is all about capitalizing on the few hot months each year and trying to not overtrade and give them back.

After so many years in crypto, it still surprises me when I read things like: "People are so naive, this tech is fake, etc." That’s the point and exactly why this remains the best speculative market. We trade on perception, belief, and emotion long before fundamentals ever catch up. It’s a market built on narratives and timing, rarely on truth. You want to get in while others are still sidelined and debating and start getting out once they finally move. Whether it’s real or fake won’t matter by then.

The fact that you can copy trade people with an edge is an edge. It's the same way some people track crypto wallets to follow their moves.

If I may give you a little advice, follow the narratives and trade on them. If there is no clear narrative or favourable context, stay put: wait for confirmation from the chart and volume. Only enter when the price gives you a concrete and objective signal.

Biggest mistakes buying alts rn: 1: Trying to catch the exact bottom (you’ll miss it) 2: Going in too heavy at once - you’ll either get shaken out on the next dip or sell breakeven later because the size feels too big to hold through fear of another dump The only right way: DCAing every dip with a smol/mid (=comfortable) size. 1: you’ll build a position for sure without missing a bottom 2: you won’t get shaken out by overleverage 3: if that isn't just a "quick correction" and the market nukes lower - you’ll still survive. This isn’t my first cycle, and one thing I’ve learned for sure: It doesn’t matter how big is your green PnL number on the screen - until it’s realized and withdrawn into real life, it’s not yours. Crypto investing isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon. Winning short-term doesn’t mean you’ll win long-term - it doesn’t even mean you’ll make it to the finish line. Even if you perfectly catch the bottom, go all in on alts, and make multiple Xs - it still doesn’t prove anything. Because the next time you try the same move and the market doesn’t forgive, you’ll lose everything. Every truly wealthy person I know in crypto plays ultra-conservative. They under-risk, under-earn, and miss a ton of potential profits - but they always win long-term. Because it doesn’t matter how many Xs you make if one mistake multiplies your portfolio by zero. 10k + twenty +20% trades (10k * (1.2)^20) = $383,376 10k ×100x ×0 = $0 That's the lesson

THE U.S. HOUSING MARKET IS OFFICIALLY FROZEN SOLID. ONLY 2.8% OF HOMES — ABOUT 28 OUT OF EVERY 1,000 — CHANGED HANDS IN THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2025, THE LOWEST TURNOVER IN AT LEAST 30 YEARS (REDFIN).

Nothing kills you faster than your own mind. Don’t stress over things that are out of your control.

There's always a few months each year where trading Crypto is absolutely fun and wild. That's where all the gains are made and the rest of months are where people overtrade and give it back. Would be a lot more fun if Crypto could find a way to run it back like we did Nov 2024.

The difference between a ranging market and a trending one. In a trending market you can be early, late, buy tops, be sloppy and still be profitable. In a ranging market you have to be absolutely precise for much less profits. Most increase leverage and get chopped up.
