Hardware is garbage
We have some difficult news to share. Unfortunately, one of our shipping providers has experienced a data breach that exposed sensitive order data. This affects new customers in the US, UK, Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, and Portugal who received an order within the 90 days prior to August 8th, 2026. The data exposed: - Full names - Shipping addresses - Phone numbers - Email addresses The incident affects 11,742 customers with full exposure (name, email, phone number, shipping address) and 1,947 customers with partial exposure (name, city, email). The breach is limited due to Trezor’s strict 90-day data storage policy (we were also able to negotiate the same terms with fulfillment partners, who follow the same policy). All affected customers have been contacted separately by email. Our systems and devices remain secure, but affected customers could experience an increase in phishing attempts. NEVER enter your wallet backup on a website or share it with anyone, and only check for updates on official Trezor channels. We are deeply sorry to the community and those affected. We are investigating this situation and will post updates on our blog: trezor.io/blog/news/recent-c…

This is true, it’s much more EV+ to stick in your lane and interact with a few smart ppl instead of the mass who is constantly trying to extract from you I get memecoin info from @kzuxbt & @CryptoTomYT The rest I stick to my own edge, better EV & better results this way.
CT can actually be quite great if you just interact with good ppl and don't touch memecoins

Ecclesiastes chapter 3 in the bible talks about how there is a time for everything, a season for everything a time to be born & a time to die a time to kill & a time to heal a time break down & a time to build up a time to laugh & a time to cry a time to speak & a time to be silent A time to plant & a time to harvest we are slowly approaching a time to really pivot and lock in again, and print a bunch of money.

Ai can produce intellectual passivity Use ai to accelerate yourself, challenge yourself, research, calculate, and create. But never let it become your replacement for thinking. You should still wrestle with books Still write things yourself Still solve problems before asking for the answer Still develop judgement Otherwise you may know more while slowly becoming less capable yourself

Most traders don’t lose because they can’t find good trades. They lose because they survive their winners and die on their losers. Everyone wants to talk about entries. Almost nobody talks about bankroll management. My rule is simple: No matter if it’s an options trade, a futures trade, or a stock investment, 50% of every realized gain goes straight into the S&P 500. No debate. No exceptions. That does two things. It locks in progress before I can give it back. And it slowly shifts my net worth from high-risk bets into long-term ownership of great businesses. You don’t build wealth by being right once. You build it by making sure one bad month can’t erase five good ones. Stick to your rules, or die in the market.

Failed to post any evidence of this, statistics don’t lie, Less than 1% do. An ivy league MBA, is an asymmetric bet
Ivy league grads when they realize their plumber is clearing $250k-$300k/year with no college debt or unpaid internships.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While some plumbing business owners can earn high incomes, the claim that a typical plumber makes $250k-$300k is inaccurate. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for plumbers is $62,970, with the top 10% earning over $105,150. bls.gov/ooh/constructi…

One of the most important skills is learning when to take advice / knowledge and when to ignore. Everyone offers advice, everyone gives a portion of good and bad, and learning when/how to filter that is essential bc it’s different per person +EV

This is an excellent write because especially as Z mentions in part 2. DO NOT DEVELOP AN OPINION OR BIAS TOWARDS AN BUSINESS or INVESTMENT BEFORE U DO RESEARCH this is important.... not because we are wrong, but because we as humans are inherently biased, and if we become attached to (X) or (Y) we will fundamentally continue to search for evidence, or analysis that supports our thesis, instead of analyzing the downsides or risks that the business may have. This is human nature, something difficult to escape, but when you start with the facts and evidence, you are more inclined to not make biases decisions, and can slowly lead yourself towards the logical conclusion rather than the conclusion you came up with yourself.
𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆. If you truly understand it, it is worth more than a hundred finance books. When people ask me which investment books they should read, I usually tell them that investment books are not nearly as important as learning logic. Of course, you need a good understanding of finance, accounting, valuation, options and momentum. But the most important skill is learning how to think clearly. You can study logic through Stoicism, Buddhism or philosophy. Logic applies to every situation. It is not case-sensitive. Let me give you five examples from this year. I had other investments that produced even higher returns, including several biotech positions, but these five were special because the logic behind them was relatively simple. The equity recommendations all generated, or at some point were up, close to 100%, while the options trades returned hundreds(oil, short $UVXY ), if not thousands, of percent. The first was $ZIM. The stock was trading at around $13, close to half its cash value. Then news came out that the CEO was interested in buying the company, yet the stock continued to trade at a massive discount. After analyzing the assets, which I did on your behalf so you did not have to, it became clear that the market was assigning almost no value to the actual business. The company’s cash and assets provided meaningful downside protection, while the upside could be substantial if the market eventually recognized their value. This is what is known as a margin of safety. I felt comfortable building a large position because I was not relying on a heroic forecast. I was relying on assets that already existed. The second was $STAA. The company was trading at around $17 after a proposed buyout at approximately $30.70 had failed. The hedge funds that owned a large part of the company rejected the offer. When you read their letter, it was clear that they believed the business could eventually be sold at a much higher price. At the same time, the company appeared to be near the bottom of its business cycle. The logic was simple. The stock was trading at almost half the value of a rejected offer, while the largest shareholders believed that offer significantly undervalued the company. Once again, I presented all the relevant information. You did not need to be an expert in the medical-device industry. You only needed to connect the dots. The third was $WGS. Am I an expert in genomics? No. Almost nobody is. But the two hedge fund managers who brought $WGS public understand the company extremely well. After the stock fell following earnings, management clearly explained what had happened. Exome testing examines mainly the protein-coding regions of the genes, while genome testing examines almost the entire genetic code and is therefore a more comprehensive test. Yet genome testing was being reimbursed at a worse rate than exome testing. That did not make economic sense, and it was reasonable to believe that the situation would eventually stabilize. More importantly, the investors who knew the company best bought heavily after the decline. You did not need to become a genomics expert overnight. You needed to understand the facts, recognize who possessed the most knowledge and observe what they were doing with their own money. The fourth example was shorting $UVXY after volatility spikes. You do not need an extremely complicated model to understand that panic eventually fades. $UVXY can rise dramatically when volatility explodes, but over a longer period, markets eventually calm down and the product begins losing value again. The timing is never perfectly predictable, and the position still needs to be managed carefully, but the underlying logic is straightforward. Fear is temporary, while the structure of the product works against anyone who holds it for too long. Part 2 below.

When $BTC inevitably bottoms soon here, I will look to size into some equity betas. $MSTR & $COIN Both of these trades, I assure you will end up perfect in the following years to come. Its going to be a good time, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

Now lets shift our lens to the crypto market for a minute here. Every asset class has its time in the sun, crypto has been in shambles while Equities continue to make high after high. This can be brutal to watch, especially if you are all in on crypto. But the inevitable bottom is coming, looking sometime around mid Q4 for this to happen. And once the market bottoms, its time to fill every position, and slowly DCA along the way. Timing the market is impossible, its gambling, but DCA is a surefire way to guarantee you make money. We have one life, take the risk in this upcoming quarter, I promise it will pay off.
