I did not blame retail investors for PSUS’ and PS’ price drop. I did explain to the media that we had chosen to favor retail allocations over institutional orders by giving retail investors 100% allocations and cutting back institutions. In most deals, retail investors receive a smaller percentage of their orders than favored institutions.
Because the stocks opened late in the day at 1:55pm, investors who received more shares than they wanted were forced to sell in the last two hours of the trading day in order to have the cash to settle their orders the following day. This likely led to dumping of the shares of both PSUS and PS before the market closed.
I was not blaming retail investors. I was simply explaining what we believe had occurred. We just did not appreciate this dynamic in making our allocation decisions.

Billionaire Bill Ackman blamed retail investors for the roughly 18% drop in his newly listed closed-end fund's stock price, stating they do not know how to invest in IPOs. More Here → m.piqsuite.com/?widget-articl…

Life Happens.
Moving is NOT primarily a financially optimized decision
It’s a lifestyle optimized one
After 4 years of 6% mortgage rates, I meet more and more people selling homes who back in 2022 declared,
“I’ll NEVER give up my 2% mortgage rate”
Because it turns out, when you have a third baby in a 2 bedroom starter home, or you watch your kid struggle in your current school district, or you want to move closer to an ailing parent, or you just *really* want a bigger yard or pool, you can tolerate it for ~2 years if you really believe mortgage rates are going back down to 4-5%
But after 4 years of waiting, not enough space wears on you every day
An unhappy wife wears on you every day
A child struggling in school, needing a different district wears on you every day
Commuting to visit and care for a sick relative wears on you every day
Not having a pool wears on you every summer day
So, you let go of the low rate that is preventing you from having the life you want

15. The Ultimatum Prep
Situation: You are ready to push back hard.
System: Secure a written offer from a fully remote company before you ever issue an ultimatum to your current boss.
Why it works: You never negotiate without leverage. An external offer turns your request for remote work into a business decision they have to make.

6.7 million women in America just lost their husband, received an average of $168,000 in life insurance money, and will make more purchasing decisions in the next 90 days than they made in the entire previous decade of their marriage
the spending surge is 40-60% above their baseline for 12-18 months straight and absolutely nobody on the internet is making content for them…
financial advisors call this "the transition surge" and it's the most aggressive purchasing behavior in all of consumer psychology
a woman who was married for 30+ years and suddenly loses her partner doesn't just grieve. she has to rebuild her entire life infrastructure from scratch. immediately. while her brain is barely functioning
things she suddenly needs to figure out for the first time:
- how to manage an investment account her husband built
- which Medicare supplement plan to choose
- what her car insurance should actually cost
- how to hire contractors for home repairs she never handled
- how to manage monthly bills, subscriptions, passwords she never knew existed
- what to do with a house that's too big for one person
- how to eat when cooking for one feels like a punishment
every single one of those is a purchasing decision she'll make under extreme emotional distress. and she will default to whoever she trusts first. period
these women are in Facebook groups that would make any marketer's jaw drop:
"Widows Moving Forward" — 100K+ members
"Grief and Loss Support" — 200K+ members
"Starting Over After Loss" — 150K+ members
they're in these groups EVERY DAY sharing what products helped them sleep, what financial advisor didn't scam them, what meal delivery service saved them from eating cereal for dinner for the 47th night in a row
and the recommendation trust level in these groups is the highest of any demographic on the internet. when one widow tells another "this journal helped me survive the first 6 months" every woman reading that comment buys it. instantly. no comparison shopping. no coupon hunting. the social proof comes from someone who understands their exact pain and that trust transfers immediately
product verticals + commissions:
- grief journals and guided workbooks on Amazon — $15-30, 15-20% commission (bestsellers in this category move 5,000+ units/month)
- sleep supplements (melatonin, magnesium glycinate, L-theanine stacks) — $25-50/month, 20-30% commission, reordered monthly for 6-12 months
- meal delivery referrals (factor, freshly, etc) — $30-80 per referral
- financial planning tools and courses — $50-200, 10-20% commission
- home security systems (living alone for first time in decades) — $100-300, 10-15% commission
- self-care bundles (aromatherapy, weighted blankets, comfort products) — $30-80, 15-25% commission
- books on grief, finances, and starting over — $12-25, consistent reorders as gifts for other widows
the basket size per customer is large bc she's not buying one product. she's rebuilding an entire life
the AI character: a grief counselor. a widow elder who's been through it and came out the other side. warm. patient. steady. someone who speaks directly about rebuilding without the performative positivity that makes grieving people want to throw their phone across the room
content:
"the 3 financial decisions to make in the first 90 days (and the 5 you should NOT make yet)"
"why everyone tells you to stay busy and why that's the worst advice for grief"
"the product that finally helped me sleep through the night after months of nothing"
"what I wish someone had told me about managing the house alone"
"you're not losing your mind. grief brain is real and here's how to work with it"
the emotional engagement in this niche is unlike anything else. these women don't just watch videos. they comment ESSAYS about their own experience. they DM their entire story. they share every video with other widows bc helping someone else through grief feels like the only meaningful thing they can do with their own pain
automated DMs:
"comment STRENGTH and I'll send you my 90-day rebuilding guide"
--> 3 real tips for navigating the first 90 days after loss
--> 4th is a curated product recommendation
open rates are the highest of any niche I've seen bc the emotional urgency behind every interaction is at maximum. these women aren't casually engaging. they're clinging to anything that helps
(btw there are also 2.6 million widowers and they're arguably worse at navigating this transition bc men have even fewer emotional support structures. a second character targeting widowed men is a completely separate revenue stream from the same knowledge base)
now do the math on what you're leaving on the table by not building here
one page in this niche. 50K followers in 3-4 months. average affiliate revenue per engaged follower in high-trust niches = $0.50-2.00/month
50K followers x $1/month avg = $50K/month. and these followers don't churn. they stay for 12-18 months minimum bc the grief journey is that long
that's $50K/month from one page in a niche with ZERO competition where the audience is literally begging strangers on Facebook to tell them what to buy
every week you wait is a week someone else is building the page that locks up this audience. once they have 6 months of daily content and 100K followers who trust the character like a real person in their life, the niche is closed. you cannot compete with 6 months of compounding parasocial trust. you can only be too late
the people who attended our last training and executed immediately are already clearing $10-30K/month. no face. no following. no experience. they just picked a niche, built a character, and started posting while everyone else was still "researching"
the window is 12-18 months and we are already deep in. the tools get better every month but the number of available untapped niches gets smaller every week
we're doing a free live training today where we break down this entire system from scratch
product selection, character creation, scripting, video generation, all of it
run by 12 operators who've done $55M+ in tracked GMV… people who've attended are hitting $10-30k/mo within their first few months. no face, no experience, no following needed
comment "APEX" and i'll dm you the link. it's free

@BoujeeFinances did you ever notice how CPA are so much poorer than many other professions. Cause they sell everything instead of buying puts ... buying what???

$LCTX's AlloSCOPE platform delivers scalable allogeneic cell manufacturing from pluripotent stem lines—off-the-shelf therapies for degenerative diseases like macular degeneration, spinal injury, and hearing loss. Solid manufacturing angle to layer onto proteomics/AI-driven biology thesis. High-risk biotech with upside potential. DYOR, not advice.
English

The video's thesis: AI + exhaustive proteomics data (proteins/peptides as "LEGO code") will unlock cures, personalization, and massive value in biology over 5-20yrs—far beyond today's GLP-1 hype.
For $10k max upside (high risk): Themes point to proteomics platforms (Nautilus Bio/NAUT), biomarker networks (HIMS), immuno platforms (IBRX). Split across 3-5 names + biotech ETF like IBB for diversification. Volatile sector—DYOR, not advice.

@otter401 @HenryForLA Bought lots in about 20 states. Selling everything this year in CA. Pay me for your LLC. Pay me state one taxes on money you did not make on ca.
You can have it.

I'm an LA developer who each and every day deals with the capital markets throughout the US to finance my projects.
You're a tenants rights atty who has zero interaction with the capital markets and therefore zero knowledge about the capital markets.
The capital markets have redlined LA largely because of policies that you support and would enhance.
You would be a total disaster for housing in LA.

Kind of wild that I’m running mostly on eliminating Single-Family Zoning and permitting reform, allowing for more home construction than anything the incumbent has ever even dared advocate for, and still get accused of “destroying the capital markets that enable home building.”
