End of month update for full transparency on Slice. Tough trading conditions out there but still able to finish the nasty month of February in the green, and portfolio still in profit YTD at 3%. Still outperforming the S&P 500 is a win. All trades shared with entries and exits.

@stanleyyelnatsb @TedPillows OBV is one of the few leading indicators.

@TedPillows OBV is a lagging indicator There was less volume on this move due to less sellers Maybe people have figured out to not panic sell?

S&P 500 hit a new ATH, but OBV didn't. Last 2 times this happened were in Jan 2025 and Jan 2022. Both instances resulted in a 20%+ correction.

@QC_Capitals $HOOD. It does everything, COIN does one thing poorly.

$COIN or $HOOD - choose one to hold for the next 5 years.

@Route2FI Very well written

Getting rich usually involves big bets, and asymmetric risk (exactly what trading + early crypto did for many people). On the other hand, staying rich requires almost the opposite: diversification, boredom, and sitting on your hands. Protection mode. Someone who 5–10x’s their net worth in a bull market, then keeps the same leverage and same size (if spot --> never sells) into the next cycle instead of derisking. Yep, you guessed it, they prob will round-trip it all. Losing 50% when you’re worth 100k is painful but survivable, but losing 50% when you’re worth 10M is life‑changing. So, you get rich once on a certain risk profile, but if you keep that degen risk profile, you can wipe yourself out once or twice, or even 5x times (depending on how many times you try). Making a lot of money in, e.g., one bull cycle, one asset class, one type of trading style can make people think they’re in God mode. They then take that confidence into areas where they don’t have an edge: perp trading (as an example, we saw this with the meme boys, who lost their money trying a game they had no skills in when meme liq was zero after Trump, Feb 2025). The behaviour that made you rich is often highly path‑dependent: a specific cycle (usually bull), focusing on a specific inefficiency, certain types of trades, etc. But by the end of 2025, for most people, that edge was gone. If you don’t adapt, your old playbook can become a liability where you lose it all. Many people only realize their edge is gone after a big drawdown (think 10/10 last year). Either you are good at making money, or you are good at protecting money. Very few are good at both and are the ones that survive cycle after cycle. Cockroach mode.

@TheRealEstateG6 Yet so many in America do not own any. This is why we have such a larger separation between classes. Those that are investing are staying further ahead than those that don't have enough or don't know how.

What people don't understand about the S&P is that every single person in the country who has money is also invested in it When your money goes up 15%, so does everyone else's You gained zero relative wealth. You need to outperform the S&P if you want to actually get ahead

The S&P at all time highs and consumer sentiment is the worst it's ever been.

@Leo_Traydes Right at ATHs, still holding a hedge which has kept me from smashing it which if I didn't have I would have sold a lot more positions so I'm happy playing it safe.

If your portfolio isn’t at all time highs what are you holding? Genuinely curious

The markets move first, then the headlines follow.

It's amazing how helpful the charts are. They priced in a conflict a month before things happened, and price in a resolution a week before we got one.

According to the charts: $VIX the worst part already happened $OIL the worst part already happened $LMT the worst part already happened According to X: It's just getting started, things are going to get worse, look at all the terrible headlines.

Here's the thing about war stocks like $LMT, they move before the conflict happens, and usually top when it starts. The markets are forward looking, they priced in a conflict, and once it starts it prices in a resolution.

And just like that everyone is out of puts and back into calls. This is wild to watch.

@APompliano Basically just got to keep hitting the snooze button and then when it finally collapses you start WW3 for real

I have been saying for years that prolonged bear markets and multi-year recessions have been outlawed. They simply won't happen again in our lifetime because the central bank has perfected the QE playbook. The risk is not recessions, but rather currency debasement.

@CoaelOne If we see meme stock season, pack up your bags.

@IncomeSharks Hope it doesn’t end up the same way tho 😭

The stock market showing what it use to be like trading in crypto.

MicroStrategy now up 2 billion dollars in unrealized gains from their Bitcoin holdings Michael Saylor up 1.2 billion from his own holdings People sure loved to post updates of his unrealized losses on the way down, haven't seen many now posting that he's back up.

@R89Capital Yeah I don't agree with him at all on this one. People need purpose, he's the richest person in the world and he's still struggling to find purpose and happiness.

I have never in my life seen a position as delusional as Elon's "the government will give everyone lots of money and everything will be great" stance

@iAnonPatriot Don't get against the US

What makes the stock market go vertical like this for so long..??

Good lesson next time with Oil is to watch the US companies, and ignore the timeline. They were pumping before the conflict, and they were selling off before it ended.

Well OIL at least listened and followed the 2022 playbook. I was wrong about that historically leading to a stock sell off as it's done in the past though.

$SPY - Think it's safe to say we are seeing things play out differently. Energy fractals all still playing out the same, but my prediction that stocks would follow as they historically have was wrong. Good news about being wrong here, is getting upside and making money.

$MSTR - Bid when Saylor looks crazy, sell when he looks like a genius.
