Children need encouragement. If a kid gets an answer right, tell him it was a lucky guess. That way he develops a good, lucky feeling. Jack Handey




This is where the “tax the rich” crowd lose me. Say I earn 90k a year and in 2027 I inherit $200,000 I invest that $200k and after 10 years in the stock market it’s now worth $400k If I sell it and realise the $200k capital gain, what the govt and the “tax the rich” crowd are saying is that I should be taxed as if I make $290k every year. Now if I try and split that CGT income across 2 people I’m “greedy” and avoiding tax But if I sell down in 4x $100k lots over 4 years and minimise my tax, that’s ok and nobody bats an eyelid - but it’s the same principle.


Took a position on $WDC just now. $WDC 600c 6/05 @ $3.20 Looking for $500, $525 and $570 next.








I sold all my $RICH tokens to support @chooserich my sell generated around $25 in fees









Apparently climate change is a myth.





“The deal with Iran will be a great meaningful deal, or there will be no deal” - Any rational human being by now would understand there are ZERO chances of a deal stuck on EXACT SAME ISSUES since the beginning of the negotiations months ago. But trading algorithms are stupid 🤷🏻♂️


I'm not even sure that Trump wants a deal. Or rather, he might not want any of the deals he can realistically get. Because if you have an actual agreement, written on paper, it can be scrutinised by journalists and Democrats and Republicans. More war is bad for him, an actual deal is bad for him. The least bad way forward for Trump might be an interim agreement followed by an interim agreement followed by an interim agreement. That way he gets to hold up a big piece of paper a couple of times and his successor is left to deal with Iranian proxies, missiles and the nuclear programme. In my naiveté, I originally thought this wouldn't be a viable option for Trump because the oil price would absolutely skyrocket if Hormuz is closed this long but markets don't really seem to care. So maybe this is it for him. Maybe he doesn't actually need to escalate or make a deal.
