Tulsi Gabbard had presciently warned that Trump would place his “own pride and personal political interests” above U.S. interests and wage war on Iran. Today, that very war leaves her in an uncomfortable position as Director of National Intelligence. x.com/TulsiGabbard/s…
Tulsi Gabbard 🌺@TulsiGabbard
Iran war is HIGHLY likely unless Trump swallows his pride & returns to the Iran nuclear agreement he tore up. But I fear he won’t put the interests of our country & those who’ll be killed in such a war ahead of his own pride & personal political interests. tulsi.to/prevent-war-wi…

@Chellaney Beyond those two tweets from the leaders, has anyone seen the text of the agreement? Until then it may be nothing more than just a tactical announcement signaling some conciliatory tone.

The U.S.–India trade deal looks more like a tactical truce than a strategic reconciliation. After Trump’s six-month trade war against India and a string of insults — including dismissing the Indian economy as “dead” — it is far from clear that this deal can revive battered bilateral ties. The euphoria in Indian stock markets has quickly faded. The terms of the deal remain murky, and Trump’s record of abruptly reversing course, scrapping agreements, or piling on new demands offers little reassurance.
More fundamentally, once trust is damaged between two countries, it is not easily restored. India has learned the hard way the risks of dependence on the U.S.

@salah_shoaib I believe he is an islamic scholar of sorts in Toronto where he teaches in one of the universities. Don't remember which one. He has a doctorate to his cred.

This imam says, "A Muslim man has the right to have 4 wives and an unlimited number of sex slaves. The slaves must give themselves to their Muslim masters. Sex slaves are non-Muslim women".
This is where Washington now is pushing Bangladesh towards by supporting Islamists.

The Next Perfect Trade, second edition is live on Amazon!
In this new edition, I review how the strategies and ideas from the original book have actually performed over the past decade. If you follow my work and find my content useful, I’m certain this update will add real value. The Kindle version is currently discounted to $1.99, and hard copies are available as we--they turned out really nice.

@MinhazMerchant Sir: Thanks for your energy. You are among the few voices I can not miss.
Given your readers are everywhere, Amazon should carry it in Canada & US as well.

@arunpudur Good stats. Which currency was it measured in? If it was measured in nominal local currency of each nation, wouldn't currency devaluation has something to do with that export surge?
Besides, I dont see any mention of which source gave you these stats.

US Tariffs vs Actual Trade
🇧🇩 Bangladesh: 19% tariff → exports ↓11%
🇵🇰 Pakistan: 19% tariff → exports ↓30%
🇻🇳 Vietnam: 20% tariff → exports ↓7%
🇨🇳 China: 20% tariff → exports ↓19%
🇮🇳 India: 50% tariff → exports ↑22%
Low tariffs don’t guarantee trade. Quality does.

@arpit_bhayani Best wishes to you Arpit. It is Google's loss. Looking forward to see more of you online now. Cheers

Yesterday was my last day at Google. It is not bittersweet, but a purely bitter moment. I had no plans of leaving, but I had no choice left.
I had to leave because of a conflict with my outside work (courses and YouTube), and once legal gets involved, there is not much you can do.
I am bummed about leaving a domain that I dearly love - in-memory databases. I am bummed because I was working with some exceptionally good engineers and genuinely good people. I am bummed because there was so much good stuff left to build.
I will forever be grateful to Google for giving me two stints. Both were extremely fulfilling and something that made me a better engineer and operator.
Rooting for Memorystore!
This team would take a bullet for each other!
Excited to focus my energy on what comes next.

I think a lot of trading interview questions are silly, personally speaking (just my opinion). So my way of interviewing can be a bit different.
One interview question I’ve asked junior traders in the past is the following:
There have been several instances in my career where I purchased deep out of the money call options and made more than 5X the value as the broader market began to crash hard.
Is that statement true, or am I lying? If it is true, how can this outcome occur despite the underlying spot price moving further away from the strike at a rapid rate.

@biancoresearch @KobeissiLetter Thank you Jim:
The first thing that popped in my head was: what if today's college graduation rates are what high school graduation rates were in the 80s.
There is no magic to college degree when it is merely another form of disguised unemployment?
English
BREAKING: Unemployed Americans with 4-year college degrees now make up a record 25.3% of total unemployment.
The percentage has doubled since the 2008 Financial Crisis.
This comes as over 1.9 million workers aged 25+ with at least a bachelor’s degree are now unemployed.
Meanwhile, the unemployment rate for Americans aged 20–24 is up to 9.2%, the highest since May 2021.
This rate has risen +2.2 points YoY, an increase not seen outside recessions.
The US labor market is weakening across all education levels.
