I've generated over $1 billion in sales using ONE strategy. Used it in every recession - 2000, 2009, and 2020. I've never shared it publicly before. This thread might make you a millionaire.

@preston_holland Garmin Autoland sounds sweet

NEWS: Embraer has officially announced the Phenom 300EV. Includes: Garmin Autoland + 430lbs of useful load + 45nm of range + Low Earth Orbit connectivity + Vacuum lavatory at the rear New list price: $13.995M Autoland is huge because it makes single pilot ops much safer.

Was just in Japan with the family. My 5 year old wouldn't stop running around while we waited on a restaurant table to be setup. My mom told him, I bet $10 you can't sit still for 1 minute. He took the bet, counted down 60 seconds, took the $10, turned around to me and said "here's 10 bucks for my loan account" I've used this system for 15+ years now and it worked like a charm consistently across all of my kids.

@arturneumann Pretend

@ValKatayev Like the idea a lot, but where do you put the Money? S & P 500 or some savings account? Or just cash and pretend they made yield?

Don't give your kids an allowance. I pay them interest instead. It's a simple system that teaches compounding and makes money click for them. Here's how it works, my downloadable worksheet, and the results:

This experiment was years in the making, and it keeps working. If you found it helpful, Repost the first post to share the thread. I bootstrapped to $100M+ of profits across multiple industries. Follow me @ValKatayev for more insights like this.

Result 5 - They now think about the long-term impact of money, not the short-term gratification it can buy.

@Emiliodjorno @RonWechsler Generally it’s been 2-4% range if you exclude covid surge years.

@RonWechsler @ValKatayev Was it not the highest before under Adams, and before that DeBlasio, and the mayor(s) before that?

In January I wrote that NYC housing prices and rents would skyrocket under Mamdani because he’d scare away new supply. It took 6 months. Brooklyn rents have been climbing for years, roughly 4 to 7% annually. But this just kicked into another gear. Median rent hit $4,350 in June, up 8% in one year, setting all-time records two months in a row. Manhattan crossed $5,295, also a record. Apartments are renting 30% faster than last year. Vacancy is under 2%. This was never hard to predict. I develop condos in Brooklyn (a side-hustle), over $250M built and building. I see it firsthand, and here’s the part nobody’s talking about yet: Land prices. Sellers are asking significantly more for development sites than a year ago. That’s the market telling you what’s coming. When land gets more expensive, the housing built on it has to sell or rent for more. There’s no way around that math. So the pipeline is thinner AND more expensive. Fewer projects pencil, and the ones that do will deliver at higher prices. That’s tomorrow’s rent increase, already locked in today. Every policy that adds risk or cost to building doesn’t punish developers. We just deploy capital elsewhere. It punishes the renter who shows up in 2027 and finds 40 people at an open house. You can’t scare away supply and expect prices to fall. Scarcity is the price. Called it in January. The math hasn’t changed. It’s compounding.
