@FBIBoston Everything from India needs investigated. Including the people.

🚨#BREAKING: #YourFBI has shut down a call center operation in India that defrauded hundreds of elderly victims here in the U.S. & abroad out of millions of dollars through tech support scams, & two senior executives who operated a business that enabled it, have just admitted to turning a blind eye to this widespread fraud. This comes after an #FBI Boston investigation that has resulted in the arrests & convictions of a former employee of their call routing company, and five India-based telemarketing fraudsters. Our senior citizens deserve honor, respect, and protection, and if you target them, we will do everything we can to bring you to justice. Read more @USAO_RI: ow.ly/a8Uo50Z29WO

@MarkRitchie_II I wish my brokerage would remove the $ sign

How & why I ended up picking the fighter in the blue trunks...(longer read warning) I may have shared elements of this prior but when I started on my own (Jan 2010), I was nearly 100% a quant. I had some ideas and figured all I needed was discipline and risk management and I’d be a millionaire in no time. I borrowed 50K from my dad in sort of a handshake deal, and he said, “Trade it like it’s 100K, and if you do well I’ll add.” Fast forward a few weeks and nearly all my first trades had been losers, to the tune of about $500–1,200 a piece. I was down a few grand and DYING on the inside. My dad was on the other side of the world in Southeast Asia working with orphans, and I didn’t want to tell him that my new trading adventure, which he had backed, was off to a bumpy start. But who else was I going to call when my confidence was already waning right off the hop? The conversation via skype call (this was 2010) went nearly verbatim like this: “Mac, what’s the problem?” he asked. “Uh, well, nearly all the trades have been losers and I’m losing a bit of confidence,” I said. “Were these within what you expected in terms of percentage drawdown?” he asked. “Yeah,” I said. “Then get back to work and take the next trade. If you can’t stomach the volatility, then cut your size in half.” End of conversation. Fast forward about 2+ years and, through a lot of hard work, I’d managed to run that initial stake up quite a bit and was managing somewhere in the neighborhood of 700K when I had my first six‑figure drawdown. I was up on the year but again dying on the inside and feeling like I’d had my guts ripped out. My pops was stateside when I invited him into the office for a similar chat. “Dad, I’m in the biggest drawdown I’ve ever had and it’s kinda eating me up.” “Why is that?” he asked. We then reviewed the gains and the relative drawdown, and I said, “I think this is normal given the run I’ve had, but it just feels awful. I want to be able to lose 10x this someday and NOT have it feel this bad.” “Now you’re thinking like a pro,” he said. “If you’re going to continue to grow, this is what you signed up for—and you’re thinking about it exactly right.” End of conversation. As luck or divine sovereignty (I always take the latter) would have it, I became friends with @PeterLBrandt shortly thereafter at one of his Trader bootcamps. I heeded his advice to always express risk and trades in terms of basis points and not dollars and never looked back. It felt like a weight was lifted off me. I don’t know how many of our cognitive biases are truly holding us back—and I’m not a psychologist—but for me, telling someone I lost 100 bp does not have the negative emotional pull that telling someone I lost 100K does. Yes, they are two ways of saying the same thing, but for me, one helps me stay grounded while the other leads down a road of emotional volatility that I don’t want to be on. Within a few years (end of 2018), I had the worst drawdown I’ve ever had in a single month and lost nearly 2 million dollars. I only share the dollar amount for illustration. To be clear…it sucked. However, it didn’t have nearly the gut‑wrenching hold that some of the prior periods had, because I was only seeing the BPs from my end and could get back to work knowing that the loss was acceptable (albeit really sucky) relative to how much I was trading and where I was for the year and overall. I wasn’t thinking about losing a house or a boat or all the things we like to attach to the capital we are trading. I think the moral of this story—at least for me (some of this is cathartic)—is that BP vs $ are two ways of saying the same thing, but one gives me much more psychological stability and an edge in my emotional capital and in this business, that can be a really big separator in the long run. Hope this helped someone. MR2

@DavidYeater Same. He was coming in and went through a wide open field. I must make to much noise.

@bryan_johnson Same

I've been praying the past few weeks. Unsure why. There's good evidence behind prayer. It mimics breathwork, calming the nervous system, dropping cortisol, and quieting the brain. Daily prayers show lower depression, anxiety, and pain. I'd like to develop a prayer practice. Growing up, the protocol was written for me. Explaining whom to pray to, the structure of the prayer, and the boundary conditions. I don't really know how to pray now.

@rothman_greg @PAGameComm This should definitely include landowners. I live in South Carolina and I would like to do predator control on my property in PA but I'm not pay hundreds of dollars. lehighvalleylive.com/outdoors/2026/…

@MarkJCarney @BarackObama He's a sack of shit. Keep him.

Welcome back to Canada, President @BarackObama. Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us.

@mariakalantze I will not watch

🇬🇷 As a Greek woman, I cannot stay silent… I owe this to my Ancestors ! ❌️ BOYCOTT Nolan’s "The Odyssey" that has completely altered Homer’s epic ❌ Helen of Troy , the most beautiful woman in the world , was described by Homer with golden blonde hair, dazzling white skin and divine European beauty that launched a thousand ships. She was a Greek woman, not Sub-Saharan African. This is not representation. This is erasure of Greek and European history and identity. Imagine the global outrage if they made: "Wagadu: The White Panthers"... Double standards and pure disrespect! ❌️ BOYCOTT Nolan’s Odyssey ❌ #BoycottNolansOdyssey #HelenOfTroy #HomersOdyssey #GreekMythology #HistoricalAccuracy #CulturalErasure

@KihneSheila @KeenanPeachy Greenville is a dump.

@KeenanPeachy I had coffee today with new friend from Cali here in Greenville I also met two SC natives today and they are always very polite but they are not happy with all of the newcomers — anyone moving here has to understand that & be willing to totally assimilate!! Leave Cali behind

Tennessee Florida South Carolina This is where LA people are talking about fleeing to

I love that Trump has revolutionary war soldiers for the king. 😆

A 77-year-old Ukrainian grandmother fleeing the war was spotted by a drone while walking alone under fire. They sent a UGV to rescue her. To avoid frightening her, the ground robot was covered with a blanket bearing the message: "Grandma, get on."

@markminervini Well said. Forgiveness doesn't mean fellowship.

Bitterness and spite feel like power, but they’re serious weaknesses—they’re self-destructive. If you’re truly powerful, prove it. Love your enemy. Forgive those who wronged you. Banish hate from your life. Love yourself, and be thankful for being alive. This is the path to real success—and your best chance at health, wealth, and happiness.
