This platform is great for old people. You just write what you must and ignore what everyone else has to say and one won't feel lonely with all the "followers".

@Woland1233 @wealthmoose @paulg all of these different colors on the chart are different countries, some rich some poor, retard. it's the smartphones. i'm not saying that inflated house prices isn't a factor; just that across many nations, smartphones are the largest factor.

If Steve Jobs were still alive, he would have the moral authority to face and maybe even to solve this problem. But I doubt anyone in the phone business now does.

@Woland1233 @wealthmoose @paulg you're retarded - look it up - the birthrate drops in poor countries immediately after they adopt smartphones. this is all backed by data, not my personal opinions.

@Woland1233 @wealthmoose @paulg smartphones and social media ARE to blame. the poorest countries on earth breed like rabbits. tons of data links the sudden drop in birth rates (and the rise in teen unhappiness) to smartphones & social media.

@Woland1233 @RyanDetrick Home ownership is 3% away today from where it was 20 years ago. Def more expensive now, but the internet has distorted reality

We hear all the time about the shrinking middle class. What they don't tell you is it is shrinking because more and more people are moving up in wealth. This chart is based on households making more than double the median national income.

The birth rate collapsed in 2008. Right after the financial crisis. Right after 10 million foreclosures. Right after the low rate bubble began. But sure. The iPhone did it. In Canada we have an even simpler explanation:🇨🇦 You can’t start a family when you can’t afford to start a life. Fix the economy. The birth rate fixes itself. 🇨🇦😥

@TrungTPhan His big miss was not buying the Covid crash of 2020. Waiting for people to call him and beg for his money didn’t work that time. His second big miss was not buying the 2022 bear market. Thats 2 biggies in 6 years. Investors have a reason to leave the legend. World has changed

Warren Buffett at Berkshire’s 2026 AGM talking about waiting to deploy its $397B cash pile: “I’ve compared the markets to the church with a casino attached. People can move between the church and the casino. The casino has gotten very attractive to people. If you’re buying one-day options, it’s not investing or speculating. It’s gambling. We’ve never had more people in a gambling mood…Prices for a lot of things look very silly.” Says Greg Abel and Berkshire are still always “a phone call away” from making a massive investment. “We’re big enough to handle anything. We make decisions faster than anybody. And our word if good.”

Read the Market Wizards chapter on Kristjan Kullamägi this weekend. The one section that really stood out was when he discussed his drawdown off of his 2021 peak. "I started 2020 with $3.5 million and ended the year at $36 million. It was a thousand percent year. Then I ran that $36 million to a high of $105 million, and the last portion of that move from $65 to $105 million occurred in just a month and a half. For a brief period, just a few days, I was over $100 million. You have to understand what that did to my psyche. It made me feel completely detached from reality. I thought, “I’m going to get to $200 million in six months.” I was completely sure of that. I started seeing trading as a video game, which I kept winning. Measured from my $105 million peak in November 2021 to my mid-2022 low, I lost approximately $60 million. About half of that loss represented the late 2021 retracement of the large open profits at the November peak to the stops on those positions. The initial retracement loss was so large because I was leveraged long at my peak. My long exposure was $150 million—a number I recall because I remember bragging about it to a friend" These boom and bust type tales are as old as time. Look at Jessie Livermore as the classic example. Net worth of $0 in 1906 to a peak of $1.6 billion (inflation adjusted to 2021 dollars) in 1929. Just 5 years later he blew up and owed $104 million dollars to his brokers... Or look at Paul Tudor Jones. Hit one of the most legendary trades in history, making roughly $200 million dollars during the 1987 crash. It cemented him as a legend. His mental coach Tony Robbins said that Jones consistently lost money for the next 4 years after that peak. Dan Zanger parlayed $10,000 into $42 million during the late 90's. Then in late 2000 he took a 70% drawdown when he was 200% long 3-4 fiber optic stocks as the dot-com bubble was popping. Charles Harris reached 8-figures status after he ran up his account over 4,000% from 2020-21, then experienced a -80% drawdown, mostly due to his big TSLA bet in 2021-2022. I have seen a few people speculating on Kristjans story from the outside. Saying "I would have stopped trading at $100 million" or "I would have just taken that money and started investing". To those people I ask if you have ever experienced a real euphoric run in your trading account, let alone turning 5k into 100mil? Extreme winning streaks like the ones above breed overwhelming euphoria and overconfidence. The mind shifts its focus from process to outcomes, with ego-driven decisions overriding risk parameters and rules. From my experience I have found it near impossible to be aware of this at the peak of the run. It is almost like you are blacked out and the greed/ego completely takes over your trading. Then the drawdown begins. The emotions shift from euphoria and greed to revenge, fear, and doubt. This is where things can really start to spiral out of control. It is only after the drawdown has run its course that you finally come back to your senses and your emotions drift back towards baseline levels. Then all you're left with is regret... Few people ever talk about what a big winning streak can do to you. It can literally change the way you think and operate. Often the ability to achieve super returns is also its biggest drawback—a true double-edged sword. To be able to conquer both sides is the holy grail... From the Hour Between Dog and Wolf by John Coates: "When traders enjoy an extended winning streak they experience a high that is powerfully narcotic. This feeling, as overwhelming as passionate desire or wall-banging anger, is very difficult to control. Any trader knows the feeling, and we all fear its consequences. Under its influence we tend to feel invincible, and put on such stupid trades, in such large size, that we end up losing more money on them than we made on the winning streak in the first place. It has to be understood that traders on a roll are traders under the influence of a drug that has the power to transform them into different people."

Armenians should not serve in Congress. Neither should Somalis. Or Guatemalans. Or — wait for it— Israelis. If you are a citizen of a foreign country, you shouldn’t serve in ours. We need to pass my bill to stop the invasion of dual citizens in Congress. NOW.

Added back Lemons. Added back Sugar. Added back Water. One-time normalization Driveway rent.

Men, masturbating daily is extremely detrimental for your health. It increases prolactin which lowers dopmaine and is linked to hair loss. It makes you into a more social awkward, lower energy, nervous beta male. Transcend and break free.
