Steve Jobs on getting fired from Apple

Asked what his greatest weakness is, Steve Jobs replies:

“I think all of us need to be on guard against arrogance, which knocks at the door whenever you’re successful.”

Steve reflects on what many have called his “wilderness years” — the 12 year period between when he was fired at Apple and eventually came back to save it from the verge of bankruptcy:

“I was basically fired from Apple when I was 30 and invited to come back 12 years later. That was difficult when it happened but maybe the best thing that ever happened to me.”

If Steve wasn’t fired, there would be no Pixar. And as Brent Schlender (author of Becoming Steve Jobs) argues, there might not have been an Apple either — or at least not the Apple we know today:

“This middle period was the most pivotal of his life. And perhaps the happiest… He finally settled down, married, and had a family. He learned the value of patience and the ability to feign it when he lost it. Most important, his work with the two companies he led during that time, NeXT and Pixar, turned him into the kind of man, and leader, who would spur Apple to unimaginable heights upon his return.”

Europe is going to put restrictions on $NVO and $ASML. And I'll get my $50 retest in no time.

Those won't be for real though, Europe has no real leverage nor negociation power here so...

$NVO is up this week.

And every holder acts like they nailed the perfect $42 bottom while most are still underwater at $60.

That’s the reality.

You didn’t miss anything. Stocks don’t go parabolic after a year-long downtrend with no financial catalysts. $NVO will revisit the $50s.

And if it doesn't? Damn I have 5 names like $NVO on my watchlist and shared with subscribers with comparable upside. We'll be fine.

$NVO was a falling knife; it isn’t anymore. Now it has a defined catalyst and is waiting on results.

Traders will take profits. Some bagholders will exit. A headline will push it lower. That’s how retests happen, and we'll see low $50s again.

Give it a month and you’ll buy at a lower average than those who DCA’d all the way down. - The Few Bets That Matter

Both Denmark is on the list of the tariffed countries, so pretty plausible.

[FINAL WEEK RESULTS]

+10% ROI | PNL: $11,026
Max Size: $110k

this drawdown was disgusting and just proved to me trading with 40x doesnt work for most

i am going back to 100% automated

and i will fund a couple of you guys to do the live 40x trading

but i already found the better way

automated is the way, these massive intraday drawdowns dont happen

and the life is so much less stressful

i'll keep updating quant app

but am done with this thread

game over.

up 18% in 4 weeks

imo the most impressive thing is im still alive after 4 weeks

when i would have been liquidated by day 3 without my app

w quant app

fully automated is still better though

but most wont learn to code

good luck, have fun

[THE END]

my $4,500,000 short printed

while the entire chat was rooting for my liquidation

this reemphasizes why i dont trade by hand

and why i dont show my positions or trade data

imagine having 50 people telling you what to do via chat and dm all day

no way. done hand trading. done sharing stats.
