The 416 Condo Crash Never Stops CRASHING

A Pre-Construction Buyer thought he got away with just losing his $50K deposit 2 years ago when he told the Builder that he refused to close on a Condo that had experienced a massive loss of value

He heard nothing for 2 years

Then BOOM

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

American bought a brand new 2026 Ford F-150

If you notice on the door, there is now a sensor that flashes, he has no idea what it is

You can see it has power and is flashing

It’s actually a new sensor that makes sure you are paying attention got the road. The sensor monitors the driver to attentiveness on the road and is even designed to see through sunglasses. It’s located on the driver's side door pillar

It’s part of Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free highway driving and broader Co-Pilot360 Active driver assistance suite

If you aren’t paying attention to the road the car will alert you with lights, chimes, brake pimps, eventually slow you down and even bring you to a stop

🚨 “WOW!” Joe Rogan Was Absolutely Mind-Blown By This iPhone/iPad Addiction Hack 🔥

His guest, Chase Hughes, dropped the ultimate parental (and personal) life hack:

“I did it on my 2-year-old’s iPad… and nothing is addictive anymore. She won’t sit there and stare at it for more than 3 or 4 minutes anymore.”

Joe’s reaction? A shocked “Whoaa!”

The trick? A simple red color tint filter in your device’s Accessibility settings. It strips away the bright, colorful, dopamine-spiking visuals that keep us (and kids) glued to screens, while also cutting blue light for better sleep.

One quick change. Massive difference in screen time and focus.

Try it yourself:

1Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Color Filters

2Turn on Color Filters → Color Tint

3Slide Hue all the way to red + max Intensity

Works on iPhone and iPad. You can even set a triple-click shortcut to toggle it instantly.

🚨 LES LINGETTES POUR BÉBÉS SONT PLEINES DE "CHIMIE ÉTERNELLE"

💥Pour la première fois dans l’histoire, des lingettes pour bébés ont été testées positives aux **PFAS** (les "forever chemicals").

❗Le pire coupable ?
Les **Kirkland Baby Wipes** de Costco.

😱Chaque lingette contient **plus de 25 000 fois** la limite légale autorisée.

Et ce n’est même pas du coton.
C’est du **polyester** (du plastique) filé en feuilles, pressé à chaud, puis imprégné de fluorocarbones — la même famille de substances liée aux cancers chez l’humain.

On vous les vend comme "douces", "sûres" et "parfaites pour la peau fragile de bébé".

En réalité, on vous donne un chiffon en plastique toxique pour essuyer la peau de votre enfant plusieurs fois par jour.

Et le plus grave ?
Plus de 60 % des lingettes pour bébés du marché ont été signalées comme présentant un risque PFAS.

Ils vous ont dit que c’était de l’hygiène.
C’était du poison lent.

I hope someone like you points out such topics too so at least someone from Wealthsimple management takes it seriously.

You ever scroll through Netflix on a Friday night and think… “damn, they really don’t make movies for people like me anymore”?

Matt Damon gave the most straightforward explanation I’ve heard for why that feeling is everywhere.

Back in the DVD era, studios could make smart, mid-budget movies because the home release gave them a second big payday. Then DVDs died. Suddenly a $25M film like Behind the Candelabra needed $100M at the box office just to break even. That math killed off the kind of thoughtful, character-driven stories a lot of us grew up loving.

It’s not some grand conspiracy. It’s cold economics.

This clip actually made me a bit sad for what we’ve lost — those mid-tier movies that felt made for grown-ups. I’ve been on a 90s/early 2000s rewatch kick lately and the difference is striking.

When only massive franchises are safe bets, we all end up with less variety and fewer stories that actually reflect real life.

What’s a movie (or type of movie) you genuinely miss that Hollywood barely makes anymore?

[Andrew Lokenauth @FluentInFinance]

JUST IN: Whirlpool’s CFO said appliance demand hasn’t been this low since the 2008 financial crisis.

Washing machines and refrigerators are leading economic indicators. I call it the Cardboard Box Indicator.

When the economy booms, people buy appliances. Those items ship in cardboard boxes.

When people stop buying appliances, factories stop buying cardboard. Shipping slows down. Jobs get cut.

Pay attention.

🚨 “EVERYONE WILL BE ON THIS” — TOP PLASTIC SURGEON CALLS RETATRUTIDE THE GREATEST DRUG EVER CREATED

A viral interview featuring Dr. Terry Dubrow is exploding after he made a claim that’s catching serious attention:

Retatrutide, a new drug from Eli Lilly and Company, could be the most powerful peptide we’ve ever seen.

And according to him, it’s already spreading before approval.

• Completed all 3 clinical trial phases (not FDA approved yet)
• Expected approval timeline: potentially within months
• Triple-hormone mechanism (fat loss + muscle preservation + appetite control)
• Being called the next evolution of GLP-1 drugs

He claims compounding pharmacies are already making versions of it. Meaning people are taking it right now, without regulation.

• “Everyone’s on it” - especially in gym circles
• No oversight on sourcing, purity, or dosing
• Unknown additives, contamination risks, or long-term effects
• No clarity on where it’s being manufactured

And yet the hype is exploding:

• Being labeled a potential trillion-dollar drug
• Said to outperform current weight-loss injections
• Designed to burn fat while preserving muscle, something older drugs struggled with

But it doesn’t stop at weight loss.

According to Dr. Dubrow, drugs in this category are being explored or used for:

• Alzheimer’s
• Heart disease (already approved in some cases)
• Arthritis
• Addiction (including alcohol dependence)
• Schizophrenia
• Early-stage cancer research (tumor growth slowdown)

The logic?

It all comes back to blood sugar control, inflammation, and metabolic health. Systems tied to nearly every major disease.

Which leads to the bigger claim:

That in the near future… people won’t just take these drugs to lose weight.
They’ll take them to live longer.

But here’s the part no one can answer yet:

If millions are already using unregulated versions… what exactly are they putting into their bodies?

Is this the biggest medical breakthrough of the decade... or a mass rollout happening before anyone’s ready?

2023: +25.95%
2024: +24.66%
2025: +60.31%
2026: +54.51% so far

Caterpillar was green in 2020 when the world shut down, green in 2022 when the S&P 500 dropped 19%.

Dividends are not what you think they are…

If you just sell $VOO over time (applying the 4% rule with inflation-adjusted withdrawals)…

You’ll still beat $SCHD

Dividends are forced distributions

Dividends do not create value

They change how value is delivered. Usually less efficiently.

If it helps you stay in the market…great! Better than sitting on cash or bonds…

$SPX Heisenberg Observation!

In the last 11 years we have seen quite a few 200dma breakdowns.

Each one of them initially led towards a bounce back to retest the 200dma shortly afterwards before failing and heading back down. And head back down quite drastically I might add.

This past week we sliced through the 200dma. Are we going back to retest it at the very least?

I think so.

But the million dollar question now is, will the index mimic that of it's past 11 years pattern/trend?

That would be scary if it did.

You watched "The Hunger Games" and sided with the resistance.

You watched "Star Wars" and sided with the resistance.
You watched "The Matrix" and sided with the resistance.

You watched "Divergent" and sided with the resistance.

You watched "V for Vendetta" and sided with the resistance.

When it's fiction you understand.

Yet you refuse to see it when it's the reality you're living in.
