I have spent over 15,000 hours looking at Futures/Stock/Crypto charts in the past 6 years.
If I could only say one thing to myself 6 years ago:
Focus on what you can know to be true.
What that means is...
I would not want us to approach a meeting of the three leaders – Ukraine, the United States, and Russia – having lifted all sanctions on the Russian Federation. This is an important point. Sanctions were imposed for aggression, not for an opportunity to have a chat. So if we say that this is the end of the war, there is a certain order for lifting sanctions. I told the American delegation this because I have had this feeling for quite a long time: when we talk about Russia’s loyalty, we should not buy it at such a price. Because without sanctions, we could find ourselves in a trilateral dialogue where we still do not know what will happen next, but the sanctions have already been lifted. And who will have the strength we had at the beginning of the war to impose all those sanctions again? To bring people together in such a way that we could secure more than 20 sanctions packages around the world. That is why I am very cautious about this.
I do not want us to find ourselves at a meeting with Putin without tools – without sanctions, without money, or without frozen assets. Because then, as Mr. Trump said, we really would not have too many cards in our deck.
From an interview with Alla Mazur for TSN Week on 1+1, as part of the United News telethon. (3/5)
Here's a supercut of notable moments from Trump's rally tonight in Georgia, including a lot of gutter racism, blasphemy, and reveling in the suffering of Americans who are struggling with high prices:
🚨 إيلون ماسك يحذر: أمام البشر 3 سنوات فقط كحد أقصى لمن لديه مهارة أو إبداع يجني منه المال.. وبعدها ستتغير قواعد اللعبة للأبد!
"نموذج الـ 200 سنة الماضية (أنا أعطيك راتباً مقابل وقتك وجهدك) يقترب من خط النهاية.. الذكاء الاصطناعي سيأكل غالبية الوظائف الروتينية، ودفع المال مقابل الساعات سيفقد معناه تماماً!"
وخلف هذا التحول يلوح أكبر زلزال لإعادة توزيع الثروات في تاريخ البشرية الحديث. من يدركون اللعبة تحركوا بصمت، ومن ينتظرون حتى تصبح "خبراً عاجلاً" لن يجدوا حتى مقعداً على الطاولة!
قواعد اللعبة القادمة قاسية وعملية جداً:
في النهاية، ليس المهم كم تعمل.. بل ماذا تملك؟
الرهان الأذكى اليوم ليس تجميد أموالك في عقارات تقليدية أو اللهاث خلف العملات الرقمية.. بل بناء نظام دخل رقمي يعمل بالكامل عبر الـ AI ويتضاعف بينما أنت نائم:
🎯 جمهور مستهدف + منتج رقمي + قناة توزيع ذكية = آلة إنتاج لا تتوقف ($10k/month).
الوقت ينفد بسرعة.. إما أن تبني أصولك الذكية اليوم، أو تصبح جزءاً من الاقتصاد القديم الذي أكل عليه الدهر وشرِب! ⚡️🔥
@HotRodChicago@firstroundmock This guy pretended to be a scout for the Jets, he wasn’t. Got as far as player personnel support staff. BUT all this hate comes from his pre draft analysis where he jumped up and down and said Caleb is a bust. It’s been 4 years. He’s still making a fool of himself. Clown 🤡
**You need to watch Zelenskyy's interview with Steven Bartlett.**
Sitting in front of the camera is an utterly exhausted, at times visibly broken man who has spent almost five years personally managing a war, making critical decisions day and night.
From the very first minutes, you can see just how drained he is. When asked the routine question, "How are you?" he replies that he barely sleeps because he spends his nights in military group chats, moving the last remaining air defense systems from one region to another.
Two stories are particularly heartbreaking.
The first is about a missile that struck a children's playground within seconds, while parents watched from their apartment windows as their children were torn apart.
The second is about presenting posthumous military awards to the families of fallen soldiers:
"You present an award to a father, feel his strong hand, and then he quietly asks, 'Can we hug?' At that moment, I simply cease to exist inside. These people are gone. They will never be the same again."
When the host tries to take him back into his past, showing old photographs from Kryvyi Rih, his student comedy performances, his voice acting as Paddington Bear, and scenes from *Servant of the People*, Zelenskyy looks at them with detachment, almost as though he is watching someone else's life.
He also recalls February 2022 without any attempt to portray himself as a hero.
He says that for the first 20 days, he simply ran from office to office on adrenaline, calling everyone he could and trying to organize deliveries of water and food to Kyiv.
Fear and the full realization of what had happened only caught up with him three weeks later, when Bucha was liberated and mass graves containing hundreds of murdered civilians were discovered.
Using Bucha as an example, he explains why advice from outsiders to simply negotiate a quick deal causes him such deep frustration:
"Imagine that in the United States or Britain, a mass grave is discovered containing 500 tortured people with their hands tied. How could you simply forgive everything after that?"
The rest of the conversation revolves around the deadlock in which Ukrainians, and indeed everyone involved, now find themselves.
Zelenskyy explains the causes of the war in simple terms: Moscow is trying to forcibly rebuild the Soviet empire because Ukraine's integration into Europe would finally bury that project.
But when the conversation turns to the present, there is unmistakable bitterness in his words.
Almost one-fifth of Ukraine's territory is occupied. The east is under relentless bombardment. Cities are left without electricity. People are dying every single day.
Meanwhile, every discussion about a ceasefire runs into the same demand: Kyiv must withdraw even farther from its fortified positions, without any guarantees that Russia will not launch another offensive a year later.
Toward the end, the conversation turns to Trump and Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil facilities.
Trump publicly reprimands Zelenskyy over attacks on Russian refineries because he fears rising diesel prices for American farmers ahead of the elections.
And this is where you can see just how deeply that approach affects Zelenskyy.
His country is burning.
Moscow has rejected his proposal for a mutual halt to attacks on energy infrastructure.
Patriot missiles paid for by Europe are being redirected by the Americans to the Middle East.
And somehow, Zelenskyy is the one being blamed for fuel prices in the United States.
The entire interview leaves you with a profoundly bleak feeling.
Here is a man trapped between the daily deaths of people in his own country and the pragmatic bargaining of allies who have their own elections, their own interests, and their own political calculations.
And yet, he can no longer step away from this responsibility.
**Watch it.**
The secret to price is to be retarded.
Know the simple truths. It can only do 3 things.
Then execute. Hold the winner, let it work.

While Kushner Negotiated for America, the Screen Showed Something Far More Sinister
Jared Kushner's hacked phone exposes secret billion-dollar money trail and possible crimes of federal bribery and foreign agents laws if he promised anything in return.
In an excerpt published by Vanity Fair from his upcoming book Princes and Thieves, investigative reporter Matthew Cole describes how Dutch military intelligence flipped a Russian GRU hacker in 2017 and used him to access a Russian server holding screenshots from Jared Kushner's iPhone. By early 2018, according to Cole, the Dutch had cracked the device themselves and could watch Kushner's screen in real time.
What they observed, Cole reports, was Kushner logging into a UAE bank account containing hundreds of millions of dollars that had been routed through a bank in Azerbaijan. Cole's reporting further alleges that Saudi and Emirati royals ultimately directed at least $2 billion into accounts tied to Kushner. That sum includes roughly $750 million at First Abu Dhabi Bank — where Kushner was allegedly a signatory on an account owned by an Emirati charity — and about $1 billion held in Israel's Central Bank.
Jared Kushner is far too compromised to negotiate on America's behalf. His self-enrichment, while pretending to prioritize the country's best interests, is an unconscionable betrayal.
They kicked us out of the Washington Monument for filming this.
But Trump CANNOT stop us from releasing it next Tuesday.
One week before the election.

SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

@firstroundmock Just in case a brain dead hater like you knows how to read ….Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has been honored as the NFC Offensive Player of the Week after he completed 30 of 36 passes for 305 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's win at Atlanta on Sunday.
I’ll stipulate that Trump is an agent of Putin.
Go down the checklist.
1. Destroyed the Western alliance? Putin wanted that.
2. Threatened a NATO ally over Greenland? Putin wanted that.
3. Pulled out of the intermediate nuclear pact? Putin wanted that.
4. Withdrawing 25-40,000 troops from Western Europe while Russian bellicosity is rising? Putin wanted that.
5. Russian satellites giving coordinates to Iranians killing our soldiers, and his response is “they kill us, we kill them”? What American president says that?
I think he’s been compromised.
The election of Donald Trump may be the greatest foreign policy success in post-Czarist Russian history.
Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."
