Tomorrow AM I will announce some big professional news. Pretty excited, stay tuned! Funniest guess wins.

@PalantirTech Number 6 is crazy

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

@Mr_Derivatives Ouuuuu 14 days of gains loss scaryyyy

Even if the $QQQ flash crashed 15%, it will just take you back to where we were 14 days ago lol. Wild.

@the_chart_life This is a public service announcement!!!!!

And there in lies what I refer to as the “great balance”. How much to save and how much to spend? I have wrestled with this a lot over the course of the last 16-17 years. And over the last 4-5 years, I continually find myself asking “What’s the point of all this, if you were to unexpectedly die way too early in life? A pile of money sitting in a bank account…so what?” We are indeed supposed to save. For the future, both immediate and longer term. That is an undeniable truth. And it’s a good truth. And I do believe in passing on your wealth to your offspring. And trust me, we have saved. I’m bought in. I watched my parents save and save and save. It had a great, positive impact on me. And yes, they did spend some. Part of me wishes they had splurged a little more. And that brings me to the other aspect of life, which is: you also need to live. And enjoy. Because you aren’t going to be here forever. You might not even be here long at all. You are given 18 years with your children. And so far, based on my anecdotal experience, it does go by fast. My wife and I, if we really put effort into it, could ramp up the savings a little more and likely retire in a decade. But that also means less perks. That means cutting vacations. Cutting fun outings. Cutting toys and small surprises. Cutting private education. Cutting sports and other extracurriculars. Smaller holidays. Downsize the house. Could we do all that? Yep. We sure could. But on the other hand, dropping all those other experiences so you can watch a number in your brokerage account go up, feels kinda absurd. Saving? Very important. Enjoying and appreciating the unknown amount of time you have on this planet and trying to squeeze as much happiness out of life as possible while you’re here? Also very important. And that, my friends, is the great balance.

@TheLongInvest Out of curiosity what do you consider low and high amounts?

When you are starting off You need to take on more risk to gain As you grow your account, you reduce your risk and become more concentrated into positions Low amount > higher risk positions > higher amount > lower risk positions

@Jake__Wujastyk This is what it’s all about

I gotta say, nothing in the world beats a Disney cruise and seeing your sons face light up every 5 minutes from seeing something new. What an incredible week it is going to be!

🫩🫩🫩🫩

@GAndersonTrades Buddy they gonna rip you a new one if this happens lol

What the people still ultra bearish expect next week's candle to look like

@Norseman1 @RogaineTrader I don’t see us going under 6900-7000 range honestly, nothing too steep, may be sideways until November(midterms) then make ATH again to end the year.

@RogaineTrader @_Primefolio_ too deep

Looking forward to the real market timer @Norseman1

@Mr_Derivatives Screw that I’m taking this as gospel!

Hyperliquid indicating a $SPX -1% for Monday. Take with extreme grain of salt…

@Norseman1 I read @McClellanOsc report about A-D line making new highs and want to make sure I have this right. New highs in A-D gives assurance there shouldn’t be a a severe beat market given no crazy policy changes or intervening from government? Iran war seems relevant.

@_Primefolio_ Markets don’t move like that chart drawn. It’s fantasy. Video gamers era?…I don’t know what it is. Especially when A-D Lines make highs ahead of price.

@ThierryBorgeat x.com/mr_derivatives…

Every single midterm year since 1974. Same pattern. 1974 Ford: −35% 1978 Carter: −15% 1982 Reagan: −17% 1986 Reagan: −10% 1990 Bush: −20% 1994 Clinton: −8% 1998 Clinton: −22% 2002 Bush: −34% 2006 Bush: −8% 2010 Obama: −17% 2014 Obama: −10% 2018 Trump: −20% 2022 Biden: −27% 2026 Trump: ??? Every single one had a significant drawdown. Every single one recovered. The long-term chart kept going up. The question for 2026 is not if it recovers. The question is whether you will still be invested when it does.

@Jake__Wujastyk KITTY

$GME Same deal as $TSLA. If this fills the gap at $28.42 by next Friday, I’m giving 4 people $500 each. Comment/retweet KITTY below to be eligible.
