If I could send one message to myself at 20, it's this:
Stop.
Stop day trading. 99% lose. You are not the 1%.
Stop selling covered calls on companies you are bullish on. You're capping the upside which is the sole reason you bought the shares.
Stop parking cash to secure puts. Your base portfolio shares can do that job while they compound. Cash secured is the "underperforming" version.
Stop buying weekly calls. Nobody knows what happens by Friday. Not even the CEO.
Stop looking for the complicated answer when there is a simple one.
Here's the whole thing:
$VOO + $QQQ + Elite companies at good prices.
This is the base. Never sell it.
Then... Sell 1+ year portfolio secured puts on great companies below fair value, secured by that base. Reinvest every premium. Keep ratios in check.
That's it. It retires you at 31.
You'll ignore this & spend 12 years figuring it out anyway. But at least I tried.

Crazy to think that if Trump didn't launch his meme coins, didn't start new wars and didn't just do retarded shit daily
As in if he simply did nothing
He would've just completely won
People would call him one of the greatest
They even would've looked past the Epstein files
I legit think he mightve even gotten away with being president again after this term
But he had to go full retard and now he's gonna lose horrendously because of it
Everyone around him will probably be torched as well
All that from a totally winning position, mindboggling really

Tom Lee’s updated $SPX forecast:
1) Big rally for rest of September. To as high as 7,900-8,000.
2) A potential 7% or so drawdown in October maybe into early November.
3) Buy that dip, because SPX will end the year as high as 8,200.
4) 2027 we will see the biggest SPX rally of our lifetime.

What is happening with the US job market?
US job openings for June were revised down by -177,000 vacancies, their largest monthly downward revision since November 2025.
This also marks the 3rd consecutive monthly downward revision.
Furthermore, the number of hires for June was revised down by -16,000, while the number of quits was revised lower by -19,000.
At the same time, the number of layoffs and discharges was revised up by +19,000.
As a result, job openings have now been revised down in 38 of the last 43 months.
US labor market data is becoming increasingly difficult to read with confidence.

This chart is why secured power is becoming one of the most valuable assets in AI.
A MW produces ~$1.5M in bitcoin mining, ~$4M in colocation and ~$10M in full-stack AI compute which explains why you're seeing $CIFR, $WULF, $CORZ and $RIOT all racing to convert capacity as fast as possible while $IREN already shows what that transition can look like.
$CRWV and $NBIS are already clustering ~$10M per active MW while $SPCX is targeting closer to ~$40M as it scales toward ~10GW putting SpaceX in a monetization class of its own.

How is it possible people are still ignoring the weekly expected moves? Just look at these stats.
11 weeks into 2026. $SPY has been incredibly efficient at pricing in risk each week.
Closes inside: 90.9%
Closes outside: 9.1%
Total tags: 45.45%
Upper tags: 0%
Lower tags: 45.45%
Not one upper tag since week 1 (which is kinda crazy).
Conclusion: If you want to take calculated risks in this market, you need to be calculating risk.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
