Let me explain what just happened 👇

5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.

5 minutes…

These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.

There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.

Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.

American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.

This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.

This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.

You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.

Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.

The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

This is literally disgusting.

Everyone involved in these trades should be sent to prison.

They got Martha Stewart back in the day and there’s way worse actors out there now.

If the whole game is RIGGED why play?

It does seem a little crazy that every day people get sports gambling and prediction market ads thrown in their face all day yet you’re not allowed to invest in innovative private companies. Seems more like more of a way to gate keep deal flow for the wealthy & institutions.

It’s not just a joke — this could disarm aggression, reshape public perception, and even change who joins the force. A thread on aesthetics and power:

@bryan_johnson At what point are the photoshoots over done? Beyond updates on visual aesthetics…

@elonmusk Been waiting for my free 30 day trail. @Tesla when can I expect to get my update.

In a growing economy, baseline price inflation is generally negative due to increases in tech/productivity.

Positive inflation that occurs in that environment is built on a negative baseline.

For example, 2% realized inflation is more like 5% inflation built on a -3% baseline.

[Lyn Alden @LynAldenContact]

Making people think zero is the baseline is one of the big misdirections in finance. It's how a lot of value gets gradually syphoned from some to others.

In a war, commodity scarcity, or other situation that reduces productivity, then baseline inflation can be flat or up.

The AHA has announced a new “race-free” assessment tool, but eliminating this variable carries the potential to increase – rather than decrease – racial disparities in healthcare.

They all passed the last stress test...& US never had a recession in 2022-23...& yet the banking system needed Fed BTFP last spring to short-circuit the hard landing that'd begun.

How can banks pass a stress test if non-recessionary stress breaks banks' "safe assets" (USTs) 1st?

Sports betting is a pandemic.

Sad deal.

Grown men wasting a ton of money and the companies pouring hundreds of millions into advertising.

If you’re betting, please stop.

Nothing to gain. Even if you do it a little bit.

Just stop!

@elonmusk Why didn’t anyone talk about the US relationship with India. We need to strengthen and support a partnership of defense with India given its the industrial output, population and strategic positioning.
