Naval Ravikant on why you don’t need to be secretive with your startup idea

“You can always recognize the first-timers because they’re too secretive. And you can always recognize the experienced ones because they don’t care. Once you’ve done these a few times, you realize how much execution, difficulty, and risk there is, and how hard it is to get people to listen to you and believe you. Eventually you end up shouting your idea from the rooftops, just in the hope that somebody will actually use the product. So you end up with the opposite problem.”

RT @DimitryNakhla: On 11/15/24 I stated that $TMO is more attractive than $DHR given their respective valuations at that time 💵

Since then?

$TMO +12.30% 📈
$DHR +0.26% 🟰 https://t.co/DfPKQQbuEQ

@investsavuri I prefer $DHR over $TMO (in general), yet given today’s valuations relative to growth I prefer $TMO

Pretty crazy how many of the cabinet nominees and new members of Congress hold Rumble stock, $RUM.

Here are our estimates for how much they hold.

Senator Dave McCormick: $3,000,000
Howard Lutnick: $3,000,000
Representative Brandon Gill: $407,000
Tulsi Gabbard: $65,000
JD Vance: $175,000
Kash Patel: $8,000

We had never seen any member of Congress holding Rumble stock until now.
