The position that triples is rarely the one that felt good the whole time.

It is usually the one that did nothing for two years while everything else in the portfolio was moving. The one that got questioned at every family dinner. The one that got compared unfavorably to whatever was hot that quarter.

Amazon traded sideways for nearly a decade after the dot com crash. Netflix lost 80% of its value in 2011 before becoming one of the greatest wealth creators of the next decade.

Patience is not waiting comfortably. It is staying invested through the period that was specifically designed to test whether you actually believed what you said you believed.

Most people do not have a research problem. They have a patience problem.

The retirement savings crisis in this data is real and it deserves serious attention.

But “is $1M enough” is the wrong starting question.

Enough for what?

$1M funds a very different life in Knoxville than it does in San Francisco.

A traveler and a homebody with the same balance sheet retire into completely different realities.

The number follows the life. Not the other way around.

Figure out what you actually want retirement to look like — then build backward from there.

Sally’s. Frank Pepe. Modern.

The holy trinity of New Haven pizza — all originally opened in the 1920s and 30s.
Now they’re expanding. New locations popping up everywhere.

And the purists are losing it.

“It’s not the same.”

“The coal fired ovens can’t be replicated.”

“You have to go to New Haven.”

Here’s the problem with that argument —
A real comparison means sitting down with both pizzas, bite for bite, hot and fresh out of both ovens, at the exact same time.

Nobody is actually doing that.
So are we comparing pizza — or just protecting nostalgia?

I’ve been to the originals. I’ve been to the new locations. Still incredible either way.

Fight me in the comments

Pictured is the pie that started the debate. From Modern in New Haven. I don’t want any slander about my toppings.

1099 income rewards people who build structure around it.

W2 income has structure baked in.

Most reps who make the switch figure that out somewhere around their first April as an independent.

Expensive lesson. Avoidable one.

Brandt Snedeker. 45 years old. First win in nearly 8 years.

Sternum surgery. Lost his card. Lost his mom. Spent years grinding just to stay “relevant”.

Today he won the Myrtle Beach Classic, shot 18 under, and booked his spot in the PGA Championship next week.

Fortunately able to spend a substantial amount of time with wifey and the kiddos due to his new role. @PeGuyBro

Patrick Reed talked about his decision not to sign his LIV contract & come back to the @PGATOUR.
“It definitely happened quickly.”
“Wanted to get back to the traditional way of golf.”
“I really enjoyed all my time over at LIV… it was a blast. I still pull for [@4AcesGC_]”

An emotional Patrick Kane watches his tribute video as the Red Wings honor him for becoming the all-time leader by a US born player 👏 🥺

@Mike_kim714 Probably Seminole or PV.

More humility and eloquence from Jack Hughes. Team USA is a great group of young Olympians and the way they've been dumped on is a crock.

[Fletcher Bolda @FletcherBolda]

@JonnyRoot_ Just a terrible take by this lady.

Olympic Hockey TV ratings:

🇺🇸 NBC/Peacock: peaked at 26 million in overtime. *According to NBC, this is the most viewers ever for a pre-9am ET sporting event.

🇨🇦 CBC/consortium: peaked at 8.7 million in overtime.

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

NEW: Quinn and Jack Hughes say they were up late the night before their game against Canada, talking about how they were going to score a winning goal in overtime.

"That's what you dream about. When you're six years old, seven. I'm 24 now, I'm still dreaming that."

"This is the best moment in USA Hockey in a long time. And to be a part of this group, to do it with my brother, we've had such a fun couple of weeks... and we're just happy this is the way we finished it."

So many people are going to have an issue with this. I am not one of them. 🇺🇸

Trump did a 3 minute comedy set with Team USA after they won the gold medal.

“I’ve got to tell you I have to also invite the women’s team as well…or I’d be impeached”

At higher income levels, outcomes are rarely driven by effort.

They’re driven by coordination across decisions made at different times.

RSUs and ESPPs don’t usually feel risky.

That’s exactly why they need a plan. 🧵👇

@GolfDigest Yes… in front of a stadium full of fans.
