I almost didn’t start this. Not because of money. Not because of time. Because I knew how it would look. Another brand. Another drop. Another guy thinking he’s different. And the truth is — most of them aren’t. They copy. They overproduce. They beg for attention. Then they disappear. I didn’t want to be that. So I kept delaying it. Fixing things no one would notice. Changing details that didn’t matter. Until I realised something: You don’t become different by waiting. You just become another person who never started. So this is it. Fewer than 500 pieces. No restock. No chasing trends. If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, it ends here. Either way — it’s mine. WITHOUTSTANDING

@hardingwealth You don’t keep assets because you own them. You keep them because you’d buy them again today.

Just wrapped an email exchange with a client. Mid 50s. Male. Net worth ~$5m. His Email: "I have land in Maine. I bought it for $198K and there is a chance to sell it at $400K. I am not really in need to sell it, nor I will be building anything there. Would you advise to keep it and sell it in the future or cash it out, with the tax implications?" My Response: "If you’re not going to build on it I’d likely sell. Here’s how to look at this: If you sell it for $400k, let's say you’ll end up with $370k after taxes and closing costs. So, ask yourself this: If you had $370k in cash in your portfolio right now and could buy anything in the world with it, would you buy THAT piece of land in Maine? I think the answer is probably “no” but I’ll leave that to you. And if it is, “no” then accept the offer." ........ Look, there are plenty of reasons to hold onto things you wouldn't normally go buy at today's fair market value. But in this particular client's case, I know there better-aligned ways to use this capital than sitting on raw land.

Breaking: The Grok Portfolio is up 72% over the past year. $14.3M trading along by 1,888 subscribers. Since our April 7 rebalance (9 days ago): AVGO +26.7% ($314.43 -> $398.47). Google, Anthropic, Meta all signed multi-gigawatt deals. MU +21.0% ($377.76 -> $457.23). HBM supercycle running. MSFT +12.7% ($372.88 -> $420.26). TLN +11.8% ($324.09 -> $362.40) as nuclear AI power contracts hit the tape. The thesis from April 7: defense supercycle, AI energy nexus, resilient infrastructure. The AI and power legs are working. Defense sold off on ceasefire rotation, as expected in a barbell. 15 positions. MU, VST, AVGO at the top (8-9% each). Base case AVGO $420. Already there on the 3-month horizon.

You can pump a $50M coin to $1B with $1.5M of real buying. Scott Phillips (@ScottPh77711570) on how new token listings actually work: "There's a huge industry of market makers operating out of Dubai. Their business model is: we're gonna pump your coin, and we want 30% of the profit when we dump it on exit liquidity day." "They run the ball up. Buy, sell, buy. Create momentum ignition. Retail finally buys in the middle of a bull run — and then it dumps." "Buying 20-day highs works best on the top decile. By the fourth decile, you get negative momentum effects." "Anything in the bottom 20% of market cap on Binance perps that makes a 20-day high — short it. That is a very strong edge." "The market maker contract runs 90 days. It's priced as a call option on the 7-day VWAP after launch." "Once the strike kicks in, delta hedging from market makers drives these coins down." "Wait 7 days. Short it for 90 days. I kid you not." "That's not an edge big enough for institutional. That's an edge for retail guys with a small account."

"Crypto is the dumbest market in the world" Scott Phillips (@ScottPh77711570) runs HyperTrend — $20M of his own capital, one losing year in six. His edge? Picking the table big firms can't sit at. "There's no second-best counterparty in crypto. You see crime, you run towards it — crime is the foundation of edge." We cover: - Why crypto still has edge in 2026 — even when your uncle is talking about Bitcoin at Thanksgiving - The simple rules (buy 20-day highs, top-20 coins) that print through any market - Why stacking trend + momentum + carry gets you there from a spreadsheet — no automation required - Price-insensitive buyers (Saylor), price-insensitive sellers (North Korea) & why both are permanent alpha - The 90-day Binance listing short — an edge hiding in plain sight in market maker contracts - Why most shit coins trend to zero — and how to trade the ones that don't - Building a tokenized, permissionless DeFi hedge fund on hyperliquid — 2 & 20, fully on-chain - Why the best quant firms are run by near-non-verbal autists with one translator Thank you so much @ScottPh77711570 for coming on the pod!

@RoyLMattox Data looks clean. Execution is where people lose.

English

Roy Mattox@RoyLMattox·23h

This is literally the most extreme momentum event in 40 years of recorded data. The Nasdaq 100's RSI went from 28 (oversold) on March 30 to 70.5 (overbought) by April 15 — in just 11 sessions. That is the fastest oversold-to-overbought transition in the Nasdaq 100's 40-year recorded history. The previous fastest was 25 sessions after Liberation Day last year. The historical average is 60+ sessions. Benzinga According to Bespoke Investment Group, this also marks the fastest move from a correction of this size to a new record high since 1928. Yahoo Finance The forward return data is actually quite bullish long-term. Across all 44 historical episodes where the Nasdaq gained 11% or more in 10 sessions, the 12-month forward return averaged +24%, with a median of +30%, and a win rate of 80%. At 6 months, the win rate is 74%. Benzinga But the near-term pullback is almost guaranteed. The average maximum drawdown following these signals was −18.39% — meaning while the 12-month destination is historically higher, the journey involves deep, punishing pullbacks that can severely impact over-leveraged portfolios. Ainvest The key number to watch: Based on the 6 most comparable historical analogues — COVID recovery (−8%), Liberation Day 2025 (−4%), Fed pivot 2018 (−6%), Asian crisis 1997 (−7%) — the most probable near-term pullback is 3-8% within the next 2-4 weeks. The April 22 ceasefire expiry is the most likely trigger. After that consolidation, the historical data overwhelmingly favors a resumption of the bull trend. The S&P 500 has experienced average intra-year declines of roughly 14% since 1990, even in years that finish strongly positive — and the average correction (10-20% decline) lasts just 17 days. U.S. Bank A pullback here isn't a disaster; it's the historical norm and historically the best re-entry point. Wes and I are extremely well positioned in the leaders.

@Codie_Sanchez Cheap businesses don’t fail because they’re small. They fail because they have no margin for mistakes.

English

Codie Sanchez@Codie_Sanchez·5h

The safest business to buy is almost never the cheapest one. A $200k business can't survive one bad month. A $1M business can lose a key employee, eat an unexpected $15k repair, and still make payroll. The smaller the business, the less cash flow you have to fix things when they break. And things always break.

@Route2FI Comfort is expensive when it turns into drift.

English

Route 2 FI@Route2FI·1d

This year, I need to change something. I am so comfortable with my life now, and while that should be a good thing, nothing new ever happens. Weekends are usually great, because my friends are free from work. But on weekdays, I am so bored, especially now that there is a quiet period in crypto. Personally, I believe this is a bear market rally, and that we will get new chances to buy lower during the summer, which is why I am not going crazy on the trading right now. It’s frustrating to wait, but maybe the downtime is a chance to rethink where I’m heading. Anyway, seriously consider moving somewhere new. Maybe somewhere with people with a similar mindset, maybe join a crypto company if there is a promising product (salaried in equity only), or join a team in some form. Need to think more. Also wouldn't mind lowering my tax bill. Quite demotivating seeing so much disappear every year.

Based on aggregated data from our trading pilot, X has driven a estimated $1 billion in trading volume globally since launching on Tuesday night.

Nikita Bier@nikitabier

𝕏 has always been the best source of financial news for traders and investors. Billions of dollars are allocated every day based on what people read on Timeline. Today we're launching our new Cashtags feature in the US and Canada on iPhone, bringing real-time financial data to X. Here's how it works: 1. When you search for or post a cashtag (or contract address), X will automatically suggest matching stocks or crypto tokens, so you can select the exact asset you had in mind. 2. Anyone who taps a Cashtag will see posts mentioning it along with its price chart—without ever leaving X. This ensures that you're always matched to the chatter for the right stock or token. Cashtags are just the first step in our commitment to be the best destination for the finance and crypto community.

@FoundersPodcast Passion is overrated. It fades. What matters is whether you’re still there when it does.

English

David Senra@FoundersPodcast·23h

Sage advice from Steve Jobs: “A lot of people ask me: I want to start a company. What should I do? My first question is always, "What is your passion? What is it you want to do in your company?" Most of them say, "I don't know." My advice is go get a job as a busboy until you figure it out. You've got to be passionate about something. You shouldn't start a company because you want to start a company. Almost every company I know of got started because nobody else believed in the idea and the last resort was to start the company. That's how Apple got started. That's how Pixar got started. It's how Intel got started. You need to have passion about your idea and you need to feel so strongly about it that you're willing to risk a lot. Starting a company is so hard that if you're not passionate about it, you will give up. If you're simply doing it because you want to have a company, forget it. It's so much work and at times is so mentally draining. The hardest thing I've ever done is to start a company. It's the funnest thing, but it's the hardest thing, and if you're not passionate about your goal or your reason for doing it, you will give up. You will not see it through. So, you must have a very strong sense of what you want. You have to need to run such a business and know you can do it better than anyone else.”

@randomrecruiter There was never a contract. Just an agreement people didn’t question for long enough.

English

The Random Recruiter@randomrecruiter·1d

The social contract between companies and employees is dead. You can work hard, do a decent job, hit every number they put in front of you, and it means nothing. There's no reward for loyalty anymore. There's barely a reward for being good at your job. Gone are the days of staying at one company for 10, 20, 30 years. Buying a house and raising a family on that salary, and retiring with a pension with that same company. Now? Companies lay off thousands of people while their CEO is at Coachella. Literally. Ask Snap. You are a line item on a spreadsheet. That's it. When the number needs to get smaller, you get smaller. So look out for yourself, because nobody else is going to. Build your career. Build your skills. Those are not the same thing as loyalty to a company or an industry, even though they sound like it. Then build your own lifeboat, because nobody's coming to save you.
