@Nutri_Science_ I question the credibility of anything said on these grifter guru type of podcasts by default

A Harvard professor proved 6-hour sleep can trigger your body toward heart disease & cancer in 1 week. On Jay Shetty's podcast, he revealed 10 "normal" habits that destroys your sleep, mood, and brain: 1) Checking your phone right after waking.

@drgurner The movie You’ve Got Mail well depicted that golden age

I feel like people love watching reruns of Frasier and Seinfeld because they felt like the golden age of society. Tech wasn't intrusive, people could still buy things & go out, and you still had real connections with other people....spending more time with people than online.

Arnold Scharzennegger's wisdom on how he has as much energy & enthusiasm at 76 as when he was 30. Stop what you're doing now and watch this 53-second clip of what an Elite Mindset looks like.

Most people don't care about facts, they care about how things make them feel. Once you understand that, you'll understand how bad actors in politics get ahead, how much of social media works, and why people are so easy to fool. If facts ruled life, things would shift.

An idea I’m implementing in my life: The 1-6-4 Method. Popularized by entrepreneur and author Jesse Itzler, it’s a foolproof way to make sure you always have fun planned throughout the year. 1. Plan one big “year-making” event This is inspired by the Japanese concept of Misogi (a challenging annual endeavor). Pick one massive defining challenge or event for the year that pushes you to grow past your limits: • A long endurance event (like a marathon) • A big personal project (like finally starting that side business) • Something transformative (like a multi-day solo backpacking trip) This’ll act as the anchor for your year. 2. Schedule 6 mini-adventures for every other month Lock in one small, exciting experience every other month (6 per year): • Going camping at a national park • Traveling on vacation to a place you’ve never been • Attending a music festival where your favorite artist is performing • Hosting a group of friends for a dinner party and game night • Explore a new part of your city that you’ve always wanted to visit 3. Implement a winning habit every quarter Add one positive, compounding habit every 3 months (4 per year). It could be drinking more water, walking 10k steps per day, meditating, being on time, or any small routine that improves your life. These are your building blocks for long-term growth. — We’ve become bad at leisure. The digital world isn’t bringing as much joy to our lives. Having alternative choices (using the 1-6-4 Method) to look forward to throughout the year makes life so much more enjoyable. And remember: Put these on your calendar so they actually happen rather than staying as ideas. Cheers to more joy this year and beyond. 🥂 ♻️ Retweet to share this with your network. ➕ Follow @SystemSunday for more content like this.

@investmattallen Generally doing the opposite of any investment advice he provides publicly would work out well (for any buying short all of his SPACs)

Billionaire Investor Chamath believes copper is the best investment for 2026 He says that we will have a 70% supply shortage with no alternatives What is your favorite copper stock?

I'm obsessed with cognitive biases. A "cognitive bias" is a systematic error in thinking that destroys decision-making. 11 most powerful (and dangerous) cognitive biases I've found: 🧵 1. Survivorship Bias:

Warren Buffett once said: "You are only looking for 3 qualities in people (you hire): Enthusiasm, Intelligence, and Integrity." Rare to find all 3. Snag them up.

"Motivation often increases after you begin. The lesson is not to wish you had more motivation, but to make starting as easy as possible."

@Liathetrader Isn’t the heat and humidity overwhelming in the summer months though?

I have such a beautiful life in Miami. It’s so hard to beat. I wake up to warm weather, sip my coffee on the porch watching dolphins and sometimes manatees. Do my charts, trade, bike miles a week, fitness, Pilates, swimming, tennis. I see friends almost daily for fun parties, longevity events, coffee or beach picnics—so many healthy options to eat. I can walk around in yoga pants or go out in extremely flashy high-end outfit and 7 inch heels. Miami has it all. I’ve tried to live everywhere and nothing compares. Been here for 18 years and each time I leave, I come back very fast. 😁

@BillAckman How long did it take you to compete it?

I read an advance copy of Andrew Sorkin’s new book ‘1929’. Like ‘Too Big to Fail’, 1929 puts you in the room as the events leading up to the crash and the Great Depression are born and develop. You get to understand the history, meet the players, and watch history unfold. It’s a great read for anyone interested in investing, markets, history, economics, government, politics, and I have recommended only a few books on @X. This is a great one. Not to be missed. I look forward to the movie.

Simple success advice: Always use what you have. You have a great personality? Use it. Tech chops? Use them. Audacity? Lean in. Don't try to use what *other people* have... Use what *you have*, to get where you want to go.

@UPS possibly the worst customer service I’ve experienced. Extremely long wait times to speak to anyone, and then incompetent service agents each of which have a different proposed solution to the same problem I’m calling about

@DanielTNiles @CNBC Isn’t essentially impossible to consistently with accuracy make these types of market timing predictions (I.e. correction at Thanksgiving)? Why bother making them publicly?

On @CNBC yesterday, I reaffirmed my belief in the S&P continuing to melt up till Thanksgiving. Mkt optimism on three Fed rate cuts this yr starting in September are the main culprit, especially after better than feared inflation data this morning. Other signs/fuel for irrational exuberance building include: 1. Meme stocks are back- eg $AEO 2. Hot IPOs are back- eg $FIG 3. Bitcoin surged back above $120K 4. Blank-check companies are back, 5. Every tariff deal done now set at 15-20% rates is being taken as positive 6. the OBBB has tax benefits for future R&D and capex investment in AI As was seen as recently as 2021 when the Fed ignored rising inflation or the late 1990s during the internet buildout when the Fed was worried about the Y2K bug, easy money is a powerful drug for the markets. The Jackson Hole meeting of central bankers starting August 21st is likely to set the stage for upcoming rate cuts. However, my belief in a 10-20% market correction starting near Thanksgiving have not changed. I believe that demand has been pulled forward as seen by imports increasing 38% y/y in Q1 due to fears of tariff driven price increases later this year. This is likely to result in lower than expected demand over the holiday period. For right now, I am positioned for the market rally to continue and will worry about a market correction later and signs that the market is sobering up.

@elonmusk Also remarkable that Microsoft on its own is nearly on par with Nvidia

Wow

@realEstateTrent Would you be interested in a 2001 Lexus ES300 with 61k miles in excellent condition? It has the original Lexus luxury feel with its unique reliability

My dad’s an incredibly gifted mechanical engineer - and he’s always been obsessed with studying the reliability of different cars. Wife and I thinking about getting an SUV, and I asked his opinion on Land Rovers:
