$NVDA has been a fun ride. Wish I had more, need to be quicker on this next round.

@skumWgmi Maxing a roth over 401ks unless there's a match that justifies it. HYSA's are for emergency funds and big ticket savings like a home. You're missing the plot comparing 401ks to HYSAs

BOOMER DAD: Max out your 401k. ME: I don't have an employer match. BOOMER DAD: Doesn't matter. Tax advantages. ME: My HYSA is paying 4.6% liquid. BOOMER DAD: 401k is always the answer. ME: 401k has a 0.8% expense ratio. BOOMER DAD: That's basically nothing. ME: On $200k over 30 years that's $87,000. BOOMER DAD: You're overthinking it. He called fees "basically nothing" his entire career. The fund manager called them "revenue." Same number. Different seat at the table.

@sciencegirl Can we eat them?

@PhilosophyOfPhy Guaranteed, we'll be lil space cockroaches one day.

What are the chances of us becoming a true spacefaring civilization?

@RogJohns @greg16676935420 Damn

@greg16676935420 Think Bigger.

This might be a stupid question but why don’t they just dig a new route?

@TheDataTomb @NASA @AstroVicGlover Or your human told stories are wrong. If god exists, he was wearing a lab coat. Lmao.

As communities gather this weekend, @AstroVicGlover reflects on the shared spaceship we all call home: Earth.

@amazing_physics The climate. This is due to Climate Change. I swear.

What changed? Apollo 17 1972 vs Artemis II 2026?

@NoLimitGains Delayed courage

🚨 DONALD TRUMP JUST POSTED THIS He told allies to handle the Strait of Hormuz themselves. “The U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore.”

@Invest_Brandon lol good "valuation" ... ...and no war and tariff shenanigans.

These are the hot stocks everyone online was preaching last year. The “can’t lose” names. The “future” names. The stocks all over X, YouTube, Reddit, and Discord. Here is how far they are down from their all time highs right now: $SOFI Down 51.21% $HIMS Down 71.75% $HOOD Down 54.47% $IONQ Down 64.57% $EOSE Down 84.76% $RKLB Down 32.21% $PLTR Down 28.17% $ACHR Down 71.08% $UPST Down 93.67% $OPEN Down 87.37% $AFRM Down 74.86% $IREN Down 50.66% Point is simple. Narratives sound the strongest near the top. Hype is the loudest near the top. And that is usually where the risk is the highest. This is exactly why valuation matters. This is exactly why position sizing matters. And this is exactly why you do not chase stories just because everyone online is screaming about them. When sentiment flips, these things can get cut in half fast. Or worse. Not saying these are bad companies. But you need a good valuation to make a good company a good investment.

@sonnyc_usa @DesireeStine50 @CollinRugg Not the shooter? Always the people with an American flag in their name talking like this. Shame people think of people like you when they think of the flag.

@DesireeStine50 @CollinRugg Put it this way, it is NO one else's fault but the father for putting his child and wife in harms way because of his 'road rage'. NO 'road rage' = NO shooting incident.

NEW: Las Vegas judge shoots down petition to lower murder charge against a man accused of killing an 11-year-old boy in a road rage incident. The rejection comes as 23-year-old Tyler Johns allegedly laughed at the victim's family in court. Johns is accused of shooting 11-year-old Brandon Dominguez-Chavarria on the 215 Beltway last year. The man allegedly fired his weapon when he and Brandon's stepfather were jockeying for position on the freeway. During a court appearance this week, District Judge Jacqueline Bluth was seen grilling Johns about an accusation that he smiled and laughed at Brandon's family in court. "I don't know what happened... I was told you were smiling at the family, laughing at the family, and calling them names," Bluth said. "If it did happen, it will never happen again."

@BullTheoryio I'm a physical buyer at $40.

🚨 SILVER CRASHED NEARLY -50% IN 53 DAYS. And we may have found who caused it. Silver hit ATH $121.64 on January 29, 2026. Today it sits at $65, a 46% collapse, and 25% of that drop happened AFTER February 25, 2026. Why does that date matter? Meet Jane Street. They made $20.5 billion in revenue in 2024 with only 3,000 employees, more than Citibank and Bank of America who both have 200,000+ employees. They do not bet on markets going up or down. They bet on markets MOVING. 87% of their $662 billion portfolio is in options, which make money when prices swing hard and fast. In Q4 2025, Jane Street bought 20.67 million shares of SLV, the most liquid silver ETF in the world, up from just 41,100 shares the quarter before. That is a 500x increase while silver was rallying hard, and nobody knew. - January 29: Silver hits $121.64 ATH with everyone maximally long. - January 30: Silver collapses 30% in 30 hours, the worst precious metals crash since 1980, with CME raising margin requirements mid crash and cascading liquidations making it worse. - February 25: Jane Street's 13F filing becomes public and the world finds out they were the LARGEST holder of SLV the entire time, bigger than BlackRock and Morgan Stanley. Silver is now dowm another 25% after this disclosure. So Jane Street built a $1.3B secret position while silver rallied, silver crashed 30% in 30 hours, the world found out they were the biggest holder only AFTER the crash, and silver dropped another 25% on top. 49% down total, sitting at $69 today. Here is what most people are missing. A 13F filing only shows long equity positions and does NOT show short positions, derivatives or the full options book, meaning Jane Street could have had a massive short bet on silver through options and nobody would know. Step 1: buy $1.3B of SLV and become the largest holder. Step 2: build a 10x larger options position betting on silver falling. Step 3: use that size to push the price down, ETF loses a little and options make 10x back. Step 4: nobody finds out until 45 days after quarter end when the crash is already done. This is not just a theory. There is documented proof Jane Street ran this EXACT playbook in India between 2023 and 2025. SEBI wrote a 105-page order, the largest fine in their history, and impounded $570 million from Jane Street. On Bank Nifty expiry days, Jane Street bought massive amounts of index stocks in the morning to push prices up while simultaneously building short options positions 7.3 times larger than their stock position. Then in the afternoon they sold everything, the index dropped and their puts printed money. On a single day they lost $7.5M on stocks and made $89M on options. The stock trade was just the cost of running the operation. SEBI found this across 18 expiry days and a whistleblower said it happened on 90 to 95% of all trading days. In crypto, the bankruptcy administrator of Terraform Labs filed an 83 page federal lawsuit against Jane Street alleging they used inside information to front-run the $40 billion Terra/LUNA collapse. When Terraform quietly withdrew $150 million from Curve Finance with zero public notice, a wallet linked to Jane Street pulled $85 million from the same pool within 10 minutes. A Jane Street employee had interned at Terraform and allegedly ran a private chat called "Bryce's Secret" with insiders as a back channel for non-public information, and Jane Street allegedly avoided $200M+ in losses. Blockchain forensics traced the wallet back to Jane Street through Coinbase records. Same pattern as India: get positioned ahead of the move, extract the profit, everyone else takes the loss. The physical silver backing SLV is held by JPMorgan, who paid $920 million in 2020 for manipulating precious metals markets, the largest CFTC sanction ever, after admitting their traders placed hundreds of thousands of fake orders in gold and silver futures for 8 straight years with their top spoofer receiving 2 years in prison. So the full picture: the silver backing the ETF is held by a bank convicted of 8 years of silver manipulation, and the largest holder of that ETF is a firm documented running a cash into derivatives manipulation scheme in India and facing a federal lawsuit for insider front running in crypto. Silver is down 46% and sitting at $65 today. None of this is proven in a US court and the macro explanations for the crash are real. But no regulator has asked the one question that matters: what was Jane Street's TOTAL net silver position on January 29 and 30, including the full options book and complete derivatives exposure? Because if the India playbook was running in silver, the $1.3B ETF stake was just the cost. The options position on the other side was the profit. And the 49% crash was not a crash. It was a payout.

@unusual_whales Would be better to highlight the divide without teaching people that having money is evil. Most people with money earned it or provide some sort of value.

Bernie Sanders: “60% of our people living paycheck-to-paycheck, and one guy, Elon Musk, owns more wealth than the bottom 53% of American households... Think maybe that might be an issue that we should be talking about?"

@RealJGBanks Never heard the 2022 bear called the covid bear market. Also, 2/3 were quick v shape recoveries. Covid being one of them. Just saying...

This is the part of the Market where people get trapped every time. The market drops. It bounces. Everyone thinks the bottom is in. Then the real correction starts. Look at COVID. Look at past pullbacks. Look at where we are right now. Don’t be on the wrong side. $SPY

@stocktalkweekly For the challenge and social media engagement I assume. They don't tell you they're trading a large account at the same time.

Anyone doing "small account challenges" is an amateur or a charlatan. No real trader would even consider it. Why on earth would a consistently profitable trader, with millions of dollars in capital, spend time & effort trying to turn $10K into $100K? Makes absolutely no sense.

@itzjoshuajake I like the idea. Market open is always fucking with my short term swings.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC confirms Stock market will be 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Me:

@burrytracker Just so happens that was the exact time to get the best entries last round.

Breaking: The Stock Market has now reached levels of Extreme Fear not seen since April 2025 Does it feel like we're in extreme fear?

@aincomeinvestor I bought a home, it was at the generational bottom in real estate for interest rates at that time though lol.

This guy hit $100,000 net worth and is aiming to now buy a home. You just got to $100k. Do you: A) Aim to buy an house? or B) Stay aggressive and let assets continue compounding?

@WinnerInvestor Just loaded up on $SOFI, 1-5 yr time horizon. Easy money. Will be nothing but noise on this ticker for the next 3-18 months.

$SOFI AWFUL performance -- should be 4% green today. $SPY 1.2% 🟢 $LC 2.5% 🟢 $UPST 5.7% 🟢 Are you fed up with $SOFI stock performance? Do you think this is the opportunity to load?

@stosay @KizzyInvests @NotA_Bull That's the wrong question. Establish the lifestyle then go touch grass. Your future millionaire self will realize you should have done that a decade or two ago.

@ShawKingShow @KizzyInvests @NotA_Bull In how long though

I remember people telling me that once you hit $100,000 invested, the “compound interest snowball” kicks in. Well, I hit $100k and have been consolidating sideways for seven months. LMAO, I got scammed.

@DvdndDiplomats Yes, reluctantly though.

Microsoft dipped back below $400 per share. $MSFT is now only up 1.8% in the last 52 weeks. Its getting REALLY CLOSE to my buy zone. Are you buying ?

@KizzyInvests @NotA_Bull Snowball effect, exponential growth, 8th wonder of the world... If you can get to 100k, your 100k will get to 1M.

@NotA_Bull 100k to 1M is much harder than 0 to 100k Idc what anybody says.
