Still She Glows: A 125 Year Old Lightbulb That Has Been On Since Before The Wright Brothers Took Flight.
This week she turns 125 Years old and defies just about all planned obsolescence plans.
The list filament says it all ironically:
NO.
I will not go dark.
When American POWs tried to sneak her notes with their personal information to tell their families they were still alive, she gave them to the North Vietnamese. Some of them were beaten to death. You are both commies and you can both fuck off.
🇺🇸 Here's what $39 trillion in debt really means:
If we confiscated every dollar of U.S. corporate profit ($3.8T/year), it would take over 10 years to pay off.
Sell every ounce of gold ever mined: $32 trillion. Still $7 trillion short.
Liquidate every Bitcoin in existence on top of that: $33.5 trillion. Still $5.5 trillion short.
If we confiscated every dollar of federal tax revenue ($5.3T/year), it would take over 7 years to pay off, assuming zero spending.
The debt is 71% of every home in America, or 30% of every publicly traded company on Earth.
The debt grows by $7.2 billion a day, or $84,000 a second.
This is a problem.
Every millionaire trader must know these 12 concepts ⬇️
Take it from someone who’s spent 10+ years trading.
You are never too experienced to master the basics.
Most traders don’t fail because of strategy.
Not knowing trading fundamentals means you:
🚫 Overtrade when emotions take over
🚫 Ignore risk until it’s too late
🚫 Walk into trades without a real edge
I learned this the hard way. You don’t have to.
12 concepts every trader must know:
1.Risk Management
↳ Protect capital first. Without it, nothing matters.
2.Trend Analysis
↳ Trade with direction, not against momentum.
https://t.co/IaP7XD6fmB & Resistance
↳ Price reacts at key levels. Learn where.
4.Risk-Reward Ratio
↳ Only take trades where upside outweighs downside.
5.Technical Indicators
↳ Use tools to confirm, not replace judgment.
6.Emotional Discipline
↳ Control yourself or the market will.
https://t.co/OIFluutk3W Psychology
↳ Fear and greed drive every move.
8.Price Action
↳ Read raw charts. Indicators lag, price leads.
https://t.co/IUbZ2bB9Ds Plan
↳ No plan = random outcomes. Define your edge.
10.Backtesting
↳ Validate your strategy before risking capital.
11.Position Sizing
↳ Size wrong and even good trades fail.
12.Consistency
↳ Small wins executed daily compound massively.
Master these, everything else changes.
Gilligan's Island – Then vs Now
I can remember being young and waiting to see the show. It was a great escape and made you feel like you were right there with them. They just don’t make shows like this anymore. I sure miss them.
