RT @DimitryNakhla: Bill Ackman on Psychology of Investing 🧠

“You have to get excited when things get cheaper and get concerned when things get more expensive… Stocks can trade at any price in the short term. If you know what a business is worth and understand it extremely well, volatility bothers you much less…

It’s a combination of being personally secure and knowing what you own. Over time, you build calluses… I’m a pretty emotional person — but not in investing.”

Large drawdowns don’t just test portfolios — they test 𝘣𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺.

Sharp declines can trigger the same fight-or-flight response governed by the 𝘢𝘮𝘺𝘨𝘥𝘢𝘭𝘢.

When that switch flips, decision-making shifts from logic → survival.

Volatility feels very different when you deeply understand:

What the business is worth

The fundamental drivers of value

The durability of its moat

Ackman openly acknowledges being emotional. That honesty is critical.

Great investors build systems:

Preset rules

Allocation frameworks

Behavioral guardrails

Over time, experience itself becomes conditioning.

You develop “mental calluses.”

🤔 anyway I got the idea from someone buying theme parks so I guess nothing is really original. https://t.co/yvHOdEDTun

China’s probe into its top military general jolted markets, raising uncertainty around leadership stability. Geopolitical risk could drive volatility in defense and China-linked stocks.

Hyperscaler's Capex as % of OCF is projected to reach 92% in 2026. 

Capex is tricky for stock performance. 

You are essentially spending today to have a probable ROI in future. 

If market fears weaker returns, you see stocks struggle. 

That's exactly what we have seen with $MAGS in last few weeks. 

Let's discuss in today's newsletter: https://t.co/aIPxSPfj4h

Soros Fund’s largest holding is $AMZN, and they keep adding more shares.....

They bought 1.8M shares in Q3 2025
and 133,385 shares in Q4 2025

Long $AMZN https://t.co/7g9tv6HK33

George Soros’s largest holding is $AMZN, which is unusual as the fund rarely allocates more than 8% of its total portfolio to a single position

They bought 1.8 million shares last quarter.... https://t.co/wfYyZu14fq
