Everybody has a story, we're all unique. I went from unemployed with no savings, to a successful corporate career, to leaving my 9 to 5 and going off on my own. I'm not special, I had 2 misdemeanors on my record and struggled with social anxiety. Here's how I did it. 👇


If there's any business that doesn't need a newsletter, it's that parking app I used downtown that one day. But yes, they have a newsletter apparently lol


If you're under 30 and focusing on share buybacks in your stocks, I think you're missing the forest for the trees. Probably if you're under 40 🤷🏻‍♂️


Seeing other people win doesn't make me upset, it inspires me


Too many people would rather not make money just so that some loser doesn't say they "FOMO'd" into an obvious winner


I’ve updated my iPhone and my Mac and I can’t see anything 😂


I have no idea if StockBytes will be successful or just something that helped me automate my own process. But building it has been fun and rewarding and I've learned a ton that I can use to build whatever in the future. You really can just do things. Highly recommend it.


Politics is so annoying man. I don't know how people watch that stuff and let it consume their mind all day. Go touch grass. Play with your dog. Build something for your family. All the political theatre is brain rot, idgaf


I was late to watching Ozark but it's awesome and Ruth Langmore's taste in music is top tier


Two of my favorite companies doing something cool together related to payments - love it.

We're launching the x402 Foundation with @Cloudflare. I’ve been thinking about how internet payments should work for years. Or more specifically, how they aren't working, and need to improve. x402 is a big step forward. AI agents can now transact value, not just exchange info.

The funny part is there are actually some decent basic ideas here if you're trading: Don't trade during FOMC announcements, look at support and resistance levels across multiple days, etc. Arguably more alpha than all those "this stock is at such a low P/E, generational…

This is my quant



Doing some experimenting trading LEAPS with extra cash I have. I like the $PINS setup on the monthly, likely will start a position today. Just putting it out there so we can take a look back at it later.

I decided to get the AirPods Pro 3 because I needed new AirPods. I also decided to pick them up myself instead of shipping and waiting. I also decided to do it on new phone release day. Some of these were poor decisions 🤪


What $META released yesterday is awesome. I honestly didn't think they'd have something like that for sale by this year. Pricing it at $800 is also extremely smart. Regardless of their margins (if there are any), the point is to get people using it and into their ecosystem.…


Agreed. The “never do a live demo” comment comes from the reality that something always seems to go wrong. But it’s authentic and doing it for such a major release should be commended. Bugs are easily fixed. I would rather see this than Apple’s scripted videos any day. But…

Marketing people think this is bad But this builds a insane pile of trust among engineers. You know the stuff the show is real. You know they dare to actually ship. And they believe in their product enough to take the risk of something breaking live. I’d build for that…



Cannot wait to see these

JUST IN: $META CEO Mark Zuckerberg just unveiled the new Meta Ray Ban Displays Zuckerberg said this is the “world’s first AI glasses with a high resolution display”



I created the simplest tracking mechanism for my queue-based batch job and it has brought more peace to my life than I could've ever expected 😂


RE: $ADBE, 2 things can be true at the same time: 1 - It looks attractive today from a fundamentals & valuation perspective and will probably do well over the next 18-24 months 2 - It will see margin pressure and become a less attractive investment over the next 5 years


Somebody introduce @jason to Milt Sparks holsters ASAP
