@vikingzfanpage @alec_lewis @KFAN1003 Last year proved that JJ’s training camp performance was not a good indication of how he would perform in the regular season. In real games, his processing speed, judgment. and accuracy were not good. Hopefully he has made improvements since then.

“I would be very very surprised if somehow in training camp, JJ McCarthy looked vastly better (than Kyler Murray) where he pushed for the opportunity (to start).” @alec_lewis on how open the #Vikings QB competition is, via @KFAN1003

@vikingjedi23 @alec_lewis And we didn’t re-sign Speedy.

@alec_lewis Meanwhile our offense was the problem last year. Putting everything on Kyler Murray to fix it doesn't seem smart

Vikings interim GM Rob Brzezinski: "This wasn't intended to be a defensive day. That's how the board fell. There were opportunities to take offensive players, and the board went in a different direction. We just continued to follow our process. And we're really happy."

@investingluc When you back tested it, what was the reading at last April’s low?

I re-built the Fear & Greed index. Wanted something deeper and actually accurate. So I completely re-engineered it from scratch. 10+ inputs: - volatility (VIX level + term structure) - options positioning (put/call ratios, skew) - trend (SPX vs 20d / 50d / 200d) - market breadth (advancers vs decliners) - new highs vs new lows - momentum (sector leaders vs laggards) - % of stocks above key ma's - credit spreads (risk-on vs risk-off) - flows (etf + fund inflows/outflows) - sentiment (social + positioning data) It's ludicrous that we are ~6% off ATHs in $SPY, and CNN's Fear & Greed Index is reading "extreme fear" at 16 (!!!). My Fear & Greed Index 2.0 is reading 38.7 Definitely gives a better representation of where we currently are + potential room lower (or higher). Made with @perplexity_ai's Computer again...will update reading daily.

@from1to3000000 Yes at that price, it makes sense.

@Road_runner_Jim I have 150k warrants (down from 200k) and they cost me $.02 cents each. 3 warrants can be exercised for 1 share at $6.93 until 03/2029 so I have equivalent of 50k shares $QTI above $6.95 for a cost of $3000

These $QTI warrants $QTIWW have exercised pricing of $6.93 and go out toward end of 2028 I believe. They are $0.33! Stock just pushed over $7. No more mangled mammaries! NOTE: takes 3 warrants to exercise for 1 share.

@SuperLuckeee I’ll give you one more. Too much complacency. Read this article. cnbc.com/2026/03/05/sto…

SPY crashes 5–10% in the next 30 days. 5 reasons this could happen: 1. The Iran war is dragging past 5 weeks. Markets priced in a surgical strike and a clean exit. What they are getting is an active conflict with no defined end date. Uncertainty causes chaos. 2. China and Russia are circling. Sri Lanka just allowed an Iranian Navy vessel to dock at Trincomalee one of the most strategically vital deep-water harbors in the Indian Ocean. 48 hours ago Sri Lanka was a bystander. Today it is a party. Every neutral nation that picks a side widens this war. 3. Oil is spiking and infrastructure is burning. Every $10 rise in oil adds 20 basis points to CPI. Oil is already up $15 from recent lows. When refineries, pipelines, and tanker routes start disappearing, that math gets violent fast. 4. The uncertainty has no expiry date. Markets do not fear war. Markets fear not knowing when the war ends. The longer that answer takes, the more earnings forecasts, rate expectations, and consumer confidence all reprice downward simultaneously. 5. The Fed has no room to save us. If oil hits $120 and CPI pushes back toward 5%, the Fed cannot cut rates to cushion the crash. They become spectators. The one tool markets have relied on for fifteen years gets taken off the table entirely. Every one of these is already in motion.

@market_sleuth I remember having Onkyo electronics in the 80s. Good brand!

The 1st song I played with the 1986 Onkyo 400 watt amp was “Riders on the Storm” by the Doors. Oh my. The thing about high current amps isn’t the loudness, it’s the headroom of the audio signal. Low volumes is where it shines. Bass is tight, mids crisp & highs balanced. Bliss. 🎼

@hakanbilgo @TheShortBear Very interesting take on AI and unfortunately, you may be right.

missing the most important thing. For the first time in history we have developed a new SPECIES and not a technology. Something that's way more intellegent than the humankind. We have no idea how to use it, how to leverage it and how to regulate it yet. We have no idea what is coming and what we can expect. The changes are so rapid and disruptive that no written text by Sonnet 4.5, 4.6, Opus or GPT can describe the magnitude of disturbances awaiting us. Any other era can't and shouldn't be compared with the rise of AI. I always step back and organize my thoughts when I hear the sentence "This time is different" but it might be true this time. When I had to compare than I would take the analogy with 0 to 1. When AI is the switch from 0 to 1 then every other technological breakthrough was 0 to 0.01

History of technological boom and busts Every major technological breakthrough initially destabilizes markets, destroys visible jobs, and triggers financial excess. The crash that often follows is not proof the technology failed, it is proof that capital mispriced the speed of adoption. Over time, productivity gains compound, industries reorganize, and new hierarchies emerge. AI and robotics are likely following the same path, but with deeper implications because they compress both intelligence and labor at once. 1. Railroads Breakthrough: 1820s–1860s rapid rail expansion Boom: 1860s–early 1870s debt-fueled railroad buildout Bust: Panic of 1873 → global depression lasting until ~1879 Recovery: 1880s consolidation → integrated national trade networks Railroads permanently reshaped commerce. Overleveraged financiers were wiped out. The infrastructure endured. 2. Electrification & Industrial Scaling Breakthrough: 1880s–1910s factory electrification Boom: 1920s productivity surge, appliance growth, equity euphoria Bust: 1929 crash → ~90% Dow decline by 1932 Recovery: Late 1930s–1950s electrified mass production drives postwar boom Electricity changed productivity forever. Markets simply overestimated near-term returns. 3. Automobiles & Assembly Lines Breakthrough: 1908 Model T, 1913 assembly line Boom: 1920s car adoption explosion Bust: 1929–1932 industrial collapse Recovery: 1945–1960s highways, suburbs, oil economy expansion Cars restructured geography and labor markets. The adoption curve survived the crash. 4. The Internet Breakthrough: Early–mid 1990s commercialization Boom: 1995–2000 NASDAQ +400% Bust: 2000–2002 NASDAQ −78% Recovery: 2003–2015 cloud, e-commerce, platform dominance The internet thesis was correct. Timing and pricing were not. 5. Financial Engineering & Housing Breakthrough: 1990s–2000s securitization expansion Boom: 2003–2007 housing and credit bubble Bust: 2008 global financial crisis, S&P −57% Recovery: 2010s liquidity cycle, tech-led asset appreciation Financial innovation amplified efficiency, and fragility. The Recurring Pattern Genuine productivity breakthrough Capital overextrapolation Leverage build-up Asset bubble Crash and reset Long-term compounding Technology expands the pie. Financial cycles distort the path to fluctuate higher, then lower and back to the mean eventually. AI and Robotics: A Different Magnitude AI compresses intelligence. Robotics compresses labor. Historically, when intelligence was automated, labor expanded elsewhere. When labor was mechanized, cognitive industries grew. The economy rebalanced across three differentiators: Intelligence Labor Creativity Now two of those pillars are being compressed simultaneously. That shifts differentiation upward. Judgment, taste, trust, emotional regulation, adaptability, coordination, and ownership become the new structural moats. In a world where AI becomes the productive “alpha,” net worth divergence increasingly depends on proximity to that alpha: • Own the intelligence infrastructure • Own the physical execution layer • Or dominate the human traits machines cannot replicate If history is a guide, volatility will come from leverage and mispricing, not from the technology itself. The breakthrough will expand output. The boom will overshoot. The bust will reset. And the long arc will compound. The real question is not whether AI changes the system. It is who owns the new alpha when it stabilizes.

@rubenhassid Do you have any concerns about security of your data using an AI tool like this?

@Vikeologist They had second highest payroll in the league this past season so they have to get the money from somewhere.

@GoLongNotShort @histories_arch Good point, that is correct.

You left out why they gathered.... To march on Congress and demand what they were due... George Washington gave a speech, mentioning that his eyes have grown old in the years they've spent together, as he put on his spectacles. That's when his men wept and the coup was dead on arrival.

In 1783, King George III asked an American painter what George Washington would do now that he had virtually won the war. The painter replied that the General intended to return to his farm in Virginia. The King was stunned. He reportedly said, "If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world." Throughout history, victorious generals almost always seized the throne. From Caesar to Cromwell, military success usually meant political dictatorship. The concept of voluntarily walking away from absolute power was practically unheard of. But George Washington wasn't like other men. By December 4, 1783, the British surrender at Yorktown was past, and peace was finally assured. Washington commanded a powerful, seasoned army that adored him. Conversely, many of his officers were unpaid and angry at the inefficient Congress. They had the guns, the manpower, and the loyalty to install a new monarch. He could have been King George I of America. Instead, on this day in history, Washington walked into the Long Room at Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan. The room was filled with his most loyal officers—men like Henry Knox and Baron von Steuben—who had frozen with him at Valley Forge and bled with him for eight long years. The atmosphere wasn't celebratory. It was heavy with inevitable separation. Washington, usually stoic and commercially reserved, poured a glass of wine and looked at his brothers-in-arms with visible emotion. "With a heart full of love and gratitude, I now take leave of you," he said, his voice shaking. "I most devoutly wish that your latter days may be as prosperous and happy as your former ones have been glorious and honorable." He didn't order them. He didn't demand their allegiance. He hugged them. One by one, the hardened soldiers wept openly. Washington embraced each man in silence. There was no pomp, no ceremony, and no speeches about future conquests. It was just a quiet goodbye between warriors who had done the impossible. Immediately after leaving the tavern, Washington didn't march on Congress to demand payment or power. He rode to Annapolis, Maryland, resigned his commission, and went home to Mount Vernon to plant crops. He did the impossible. He refused the crown. He trusted the people. By stepping down, he ensured that the United States would be a republic ruled by laws, not a kingdom ruled by force. He proved that the military serves the people, not the other way around. It was the final, and perhaps greatest, victory of the Revolution. The world watched in awe as the American Cincinnatus returned his sword to its sheath, proving that character is the strongest constitution of all." #archaeohistories

@market_sleuth Alex was a good hearted human being who was always trying to help others. It is sickening what they did to him. It was a senseless act of violence by ICE, the administration is covering it up so the masked perpetrators will probably never be brought to justice.

My father was a gun collector, avid hunter & a NRA member. He taught me how to handle guns with the utmost of safety. Today I own only one, a Sig Sauer 9mm. It was the sabbath yesterday so I didn’t post on X. But on Saturday I watched the video several times (in slow motion) of Alex Pretti being shot. He was killed in cold blood. Period. Unfollow me if you wish but this has gone too far. 🙏🏼

@ohiain When it’s going parabolic like this, do you continue to let your full position ride or do you start trimming at what point do you do that?

The best breakouts I’ve traded in my career almost always come from quietly built tight bases, like what we've seen on $SNDK right now. There’s information here that tells me institutions are in control, and that’s what I look for in my system: First, I look for "Volatility Contracting." You hear me say it all the time, but what does it mean? It means every swing within the base gets smaller. To me, that’s the market digesting supply, buyers quietly absorbing stock, and sellers running out of conviction. I watch the range tighten because that’s when the pressure builds for a real move. Secondly, I look for volume drying up. Look for low volume in the base, because it’s not a lack of interest, it’s a lack of sellers. When the right catalyst or demand comes in, there’s almost nothing to stop the stock, and it can spike hard!! Thirdly, I look for Relative Strength. My first filter is always: are the leaders holding up while the market chops? $SNDK staying near highs tells me institutions haven’t budged, and that’s a stronger signal than any headline or hype! Fourth, where do I enter and/or get into this leader? This is where patience pays. I don’t guess at tops or bottoms, but only act when the stock clears the pivot with confirmation of demand. For me, that’s reclaiming previous highs or critical inflection points off the base + EMAs. Timing doesn't have to be precise, but structure is a must. Fifth, by far the most important part, risk control! Tight bases = tight stops. If the base is structured well, I know exactly where I’m wrong (typically the LOD or pivot undercut), and that’s how I let winners run for multiple R potential. It’s all about asymmetric opportunity: defined risk, massive reward if the pattern works. Almost every “textbook” winner I’ve traded over the past week... from $ASTS to $UMAC, has started this way. tight base low volume pressure building relative strength These setups repeat, and the edge comes from watching price and volume over time! The major takeaway: Focus on structure and ignore all other banter!! The boring, tight bases are where the big moves start, and that’s where you want to be positioned. I hope this helps bring clarification. God bless!

@jay_vikingo @vikingzfanpage @AdamSchefter I agree, definitely seems more reactive than proactive.

The Vikings spent last offseason operating under the assumption Daniel Jones would stick around; even admitted it publicly and talked about “being better prepared” next time. Fast-forward to now: they’re entering another offseason while every viable contingency is interviewing or signing elsewhere… and Brian Flores is literally out interviewing for a DC job. If this is the plan, it’s hard to argue they learned anything at all.

The #Giants have requested permission to speak with #Vikings defensive pass game coordinator Daronte Jones for their DC role, per @AdamSchefter. Jones is considered the in house favorite for DC in Minnesota if Brian Flores was to depart.
