With the psychological 2000 level broken only last trading session, the Russian stock market has officially fallen to levels lower than the panicked days of the initial invasion.

Already the longest run of losses since 1997..

The “everything is under control” 🤡

Russian department
Is having another busy day.

A Russian woman that's just been bankrupted by the loss of her business inventory due to Ukraine’s strikes on Moscow logistics facilities sums up life in Putin's Russia now that she has less than 300 rubles ($4) remaining her bank account.

Having lost millions, she further complains there's no gasoline or electricity in her town.

🚨 HEDGE FUNDS ARE DUMPING TECH AT A RECORD PACE.

The timing makes the situation even more important.

Just a few weeks ago, tech was one of the most crowded trades on Wall Street, with investors pouring into AI and semiconductor stocks.

Now, that trade is being sold off.

Selling has spread across software, semiconductors, and hardware, pushing 8-week tech outflows to their weakest level on record.

Investors are becoming more concerned that AI valuations and massive spending are rising much faster than the earnings needed to support them.

At the same time, hedge funds have raised bearish positions on the broader market to the highest level in a decade, showing this is about reducing overall risk, not just selling a few stocks.

Has the AI bubble popped?

Another BEAUTIFULLY BRIGHT morning in russia🔥🔥

If you need motivation, take a look at your father. If not for you, do it for him

How can i complain about my exhausting routine when a year ago i was praying for the opportunities i have today? growth has a strange way of making answered prayers feel ordinary. never become so comfortable that you forget what you once prayed for.

I don't know whether i am at peace or just don't give a f*ck, but whatever it is like it

Mastered the art of hiding my emotions but that mask might break Soon

Total madness has begun in Russia.

$RKLB Rocket lab's ceo never went to college. instead, he studied spacex's public material and built a $12 billion rocket empire. how? a learning method so powerful that nasa and spacex now teach it. here's peter beck's framework for learning anything fast:

Most aerospace ceos follow the same path.

Ivy league degree. phd in engineering. decades climbing corporate ladders.

Peter beck skipped all of that. and built something that has spacex looking over their shoulder.

Beck grew up in invercargill, new zealand. population 54,000. rocket companies: zero. no mit connections. no silicon valley network.

Just a kid obsessed with making things go fast.

At 18, he became an apprentice at fisher & paykel. not building rockets. building washing machines. while peers partied, beck stayed late in the workshop building rocket-powered bikes, scooters, and a jet pack.

Then he discovered spacex's technical archives were completely public.

Thousands of pages of rocket specifications. free. online. available to anyone.

Most people saw boring pdfs. beck saw a $100,000 education for $0.

He built his entire approach around 4 principles:

- learn by building, not reading
- test at 1/10th scale first
- document every failure
- iterate 10x faster than competitors

He never took a single aerospace class. instead he built dozens of mini rockets in his garage. each failure taught him more than any textbook.

Traditional aerospace builds big and tests once. beck builds small and tests 100 times. his team 3d-prints miniature engines in days, not months. while competitors spend millions on one test, rocket lab runs dozens.

He keeps pieces of failed rockets on his desk. not as reminders of defeat. as data.

By 2009, his team launched ātea-1, becoming the first private company in the southern hemisphere to reach space.
current valuation: $12 billion. launch success rate: 90%+.

From washing machine apprentice to aerospace titan in 15 years. no degree required.

Just curiosity, obsession, and a refusal to wait for permission.

Ps: beck didn’t wait for credentials. he started building with what he had and learned faster than everyone else. in 2026, the same approach works for content. you don't need a big platform to start. you need to start to get a big platform.

The Fed still talks about a 2% inflation target.
But since 2019, inflation has averaged well above that level.
Whether by design or circumstance, purchasing power has been eroded far faster than the stated objective.
Watch what policymakers do, not just what they say.

Get close to ambitious people and watch your whole baseline rise.

Their drive becomes contagious. their standards quietly reset yours. spend enough time around people who expect more from themselves and you start expecting more from you.

You become the average of who you're around. pick people whose habits you'd be proud to catch.
