Same day, same selloff.
Gold dips: "excellent time to buy."
Bitcoin dips: "going to zero."

Gold is selling off with the stock market, trading just below $4,000. This is an excellent time to buy, as what's bearish for stocks is actually bullish for gold. It's also bullish for silver, which is a great buy below $54. Buy both metals today!

Washington is finally clearing the road for cars with no steering wheel. My Tesla already drives me to the hospital most days. Cybercab is coming faster than the critics think. https://t.co/b2R3tQv4jT
NHTSA announced today that they are proposing new rules aimed at removing U.S. federal regulatory barriers for autonomous vehicles without steering wheels or pedals, such as @Tesla's Cybercab.
The proposed changes include:
• Eliminating requirements for manually operated turn signal controls in vehicles without steering wheels or pedals: "NHTSA has concluded that the self-canceling and manually operated control requirements in the current standard are unnecessary for turn signal operating units that are installed on vehicles without manually operated driving controls."
• Allowing autonomous driving systems to control turn signals, hazard lights, and high/low beams without traditional driver-operated switches.
• Removing certain dashboard indicator requirements for turn signals and high beams in vehicles without manual driving controls.
• Allowing optional cyan-colored exterior lights to indicate when a vehicle is operating autonomously, with standardized requirements for their placement, brightness, and operation.
• Eliminating outdated restrictions on vertical headlight arrangements, giving automakers greater design flexibility.
• Allowing modern integrated headlights to be tested at manufacturer-specified voltages rather than requiring 12.8 volts.
NHTSA says the changes are intended to eliminate unnecessary regulatory barriers, reduce costs, and enable innovation without compromising vehicle safety.
@KenDBerryMD In my entire career we treated one number on a lab sheet like it was the whole story. Turns out the body is a little more complicated. Who knew? Drug companies, probably.
@SawyerMerritt@Tesla Washington moving at the speed of government, which for once is almost fast enough. My Tesla already drives me to work every day 😀
One habit I'd recommend to almost anyone: a 10 to 15 minute walk after your biggest meal.
It helps your muscles soak up blood sugar, it's free, and you can do it with your spouse or kids.
Small, boring habits held for years beat big ones held for weeks. (General education, not medical advice.)
In anesthesia we don't make big decisions in the middle of a crisis. We make the plan before the case starts.
Investing works the same way. Decide what you own, why, and what would change your mind, before the red days come.
Steady hands beat fast hands. Not financial advice.
Big week: SpaceX Q3, Tesla Q3, lockups unlocking, and Tesla/SpaceX merger talk.
My take: don't trade the rumor. A merger is only good for you if the exchange ratio is fair, the independent committee does its job, and you understand what you'd end up owning.
Patience is a position too. Not financial advice.
@BenBikmanPhD The point that food becomes tissue is true and worth remembering. For most people, the simplest step is to eat fewer ultra-processed foods, where most of these oils come from. General education, not medical advice.
@zaidlikesmstr@Strategy Incentives are the first thing I check in any company. Just remember that owning a lot of a stock tells you management will try hard. It doesn't tell you the strategy is low-risk.
@chasepalmieri@ColeMacro@Strive I respect a CEO who says plainly where the company is. Honest guidance about your limits builds more trust than any growth chart.
@HurdleRatePod@ColeMacro Simple way to see it: $3B into a small company moves the needle, and $3B into a giant barely does. Smaller can grow faster, but it can also break faster.
@ShipGeneration One of the most useful posts on this today. Taxes and fees are a guaranteed loss, while the upside from switching is a maybe. Run your own numbers. Not financial advice.
@HindsMarkets This is why I read the filings. The two companies already do business with each other, and any merger vote should weigh those ties carefully.
@MilkRoadStocks The borrowing point is the one I'd underline. Cheaper capital helps a lot when you're building 10 GW of power. Just remember that a wide range like that is a guess, not a price target.
@Strategy Simple version for folks new to this: STRC is a preferred stock. You get a set dividend, and it's paid ahead of common shareholders. Know exactly what you own and where it sits in line before you buy. Not financial advice.
@SawyerMerritt Good capital discipline. Saying no to a small market is underrated. Most companies destroy value chasing every market instead of the right ones.
