“The best traders don’t try to predict every move - they manage risk and execute their edge consistently. Your job isn’t to be right on every trade; it’s to follow your plan with discipline. In the long run, consistency beats certainty every time.”

One system.
One trade a day.
Accept the outcome, win or lose.
Do it 90 days without breaking once.
Welcome to profitability.

Researchers mathematically concluded that artificial intelligence could lead to a tragedy worse than mass unemployment.
The main risk is the gradual destruction of people’s ability to perform work well. Automation of basic tasks saves company budgets but also breaks the training pipeline for deep expertise.
Within a generation, there may be no specialists left to oversee algorithmic errors and preserve intellectual independence

Trading isn’t a side hustle.
It’s a war against your your emotions and your need to be right.
If you’re not ready for total mental discipline, go sell T-shirts instead

Trading is so fckng hard because life teaches you that losing is bad.
But in trading, a loss isn’t a failure if you followed your rules.
You can do everything right and still lose.
Learning to detach your ego from the outcome is the entire career

Shares of Nakamoto, the Bitcoin company backed by Trump supporter David Bailey, have fallen 99% from their all-time high.
The businessman raised about $760 million for the company last year, but its shares plunged after a merger and stock-market debut in May 2025. The drop effectively destroyed its model of issuing new shares to buy cryptocurrency.
Nakamoto is now shifting strategy toward share buybacks and assets capable of generating stable cash flow

The popular narrative was simple: long what Michael Burry shorts and print profits. Today showed it works both ways.
Lululemon shares fell to their lowest since 2018, down 20% on yesterday’s report. The company makes socks, but it is Burry’s largest long position.
The stock is now about 60% below his entry.

The classic rule of buying US Treasuries during war has stopped working. The US Treasury announced a tripling of long-term bond buybacks to $6 billion, and yields rose on the news.
The 10-year Treasury yield moved above 4.85% for the first time since November 2023, up 15 basis points from before the announcement. Yields are now up 100 basis points since the ongoing war with Iran began.
The 10-year yield will exceed 5% as early as next week, bringing an unpleasant surprise for US consumers, homebuyers and borrowers

Next week, the Fed's rate decision will determine whether the bullish trend continues into the midterms. The market is cooling and waiting for Wednesday.
Polymarket gives an 80% chance of a hike. Goldman Sachs shifted from a hold to a hike forecast. The hike is already almost fully priced in.
What happens to risk assets if Trump's appointee, Warsh, does not hike 1.5 months before the midterms? Next week should be interesting.

For DOW, the start of September this year was its worst since the 2008 global financial crisis. Some experts call it a “sign.”
Others note that SP500 and Nasdaq have not fallen since September began. Historically, September is the weakest month for US stocks, with selling ideally peaking mid-month before a strong Q4.
This year, a “Trump-pump” ahead of the November midterm elections could boost Q4. With the Iran fiasco and other failures, stocks and crypto could give Trump one of his easiest and most visible pre-election victories
