I spent years studying how ordinary people build wealth. Here are 10 money rules that separate the rich from the broke (most people won't follow #4): 🧵👇

@unusual_whales A lot of new conflicts happening recently

BREAKING: "US has the troops in place to attack Cuba," per POLITICO

@Polymarket The AI buildout now has a physical security threat to go with the geopolitical one

JUST IN: FBI warns of rising “anti-tech extremism” as opposition to AI & data centers intensifies.

@unusual_whales The man building the AI said GDP goes up and jobs go down simultaneously. Probably worth believing him

Anthropic CEO Dario has said: “The signature of [AI] is it's going to take us to a world where we have very high GDP growth, and potentially also very high unemployment and inequality.”

@KobeissiLetter Every earnings beat tied to AI infrastructure spending is a confirmation signal

BREAKING: Snowflake stock, $SNOW, surges over +30% after reporting stronger than expected earnings due to AI.

@unusual_whales I mean, how could they live off of $174k? That's poverty. Of course they need access to insider trading with no repercussions

Mike Johnson has said that lawmakers' $174,000 salaries haven't kept up with inflation, and they need stock trading for support, per MoneyWise

@Polymarket Advertising plus subscriptions plus AI efficiency gains. $META is building multiple revenue streams simultaneously

JUST IN: Meta launches paid subscriptions for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp.

@Polymarket The AI CEO says no jobs apocalypse, but the AI is replacing the jobs anyway

JUST IN: Sam Altman says AI probably won’t trigger the “jobs apocalypse” he once predicted.

@Polymarket Jensen Huang is doing more foreign policy than most ambassadors

NEW: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to join board of prestigious Tsinghua University in Beijing.

@Polymarket The regulatory environment that follows that statement matters more than the words

NEW: Trump promises he will “never let crypto down”

@MoneyQuotesX Fear keeps money at a distance. Understanding it turns it into a tool

The rich study money. The broke fear it.

@unusual_whales The bond market seems like it has been saying this for the past few weeks

"Donald Trump risks triggering a financial crisis," the European Central Bank has said

@unusual_whales JPMorgan's legal team has had a rough few weeks

Fired JPMorgan employee who claimed wrongful termination over $642.50 'Super Bowl' deli platter awarded $4 million, per NYP

@Polymarket Transparency on AI content is something for sure needed. Most AI content is easy to spot if you know what to look for, but as AI keeps advancing it will just get harder to tell

JUST IN: YouTube is rolling out automatic labels for videos it detects were significantly made with AI in crackdown on "AI slop"

@OBPinvestments Spend what's left after investing. Not the other way around

What's one financial habit everyone should learn early?

@Nithya_Shrii In investing this is called being early. The crowd mocking the position is often the confirmation the thesis is right

Sometimes the smartest move is letting a fool think they’re smarter than you.

@Polymarket The CIA whistleblower testimony, the JFK files seizure, and now this. The institutional credibility story keeps adding chapters

JUST IN: FBI arrests senior CIA official after uncovering over $40 million in gold bars & $2 million in cash at his Virginia home.

@KobeissiLetter The housing cooldown isn't a headline anymore, it's a trend with duration

BREAKING: Home prices across America's 20 largest cities fell -0.16% MoM in March, the 2nd-consecutive monthly decline after 6-straight monthly increases. YoY, prices rose +0.83%, the weakest annual gain since July 2023. This comes as over half of the 20 major US housing markets posted YoY price decreases. Seattle posted the steepest decline at -2.5%, followed by Denver at -2.0%, Tampa at -1.9%, Dallas at -1.7%, and Los Angeles and Phoenix at -1.6%. Meanwhile, the spread between the strongest and weakest markets stands at 8.6 percentage points, highlighting how uneven the housing slowdown has become. In real terms, home prices fell for their 10th consecutive month, as inflation continued to outpace nominal price gains. The US housing market is cooling.

@Kalshi_Crypto The asset class that was "rat poison" is now monetary policy vocabulary

JUST IN: Fed Chair Kevin Warsh says "Bitcoin is the new gold"

@NoLimitGains $4 trillion in IPOs. Record margin debt. 5% yields. Interested to see what happens

$4 trillion of IPOs are coming to the market. Bigger than the entire GDP of the United Kingdom. Bigger than France. Roughly equal to India’s entire economy. But everything will be fine, right?
