@prometheusmacro Could you show returns for your ETF and SP500 flavor portfolios since they went ‘out of sample’ into live money? You do post long duration plus, but it’s impossible to visualize recent performance. Thank you!

@LukeGromen Why does anyone need stable coins?

@vitaliyk Your thoughts on Charlie Kirk are spot on

[Vitaliy Katsenelson @vitaliyk]

When I first came to America from the Soviet Union, I was told capitalism made people selfish. Yet the very first thing I experienced was the opposite: strangers from my aunt’s synagogue—people who owed us nothing—furnished an apartment for us, stocked our fridge, and welcomed us to America like family.

That’s the first time I realized: capitalism isn’t about greed. It’s about freedom. It gives people choices. And when people are free, generosity follows.

Charlie Kirk understood this. He knew that capitalism and free speech rise and fall together. Both require trust—that if you allow competition, resilience, and openness, the best will endure.

Socialism destroys that trust. It replaces choice with control, diversity with uniformity, courage with fear. In the Soviet Union, no matter your talent or ambition, your path was already decided for you. Today, its echo shows up in cancel culture—where dissent is punished and conformity is rewarded. The result is the same: a society that grows weaker, poorer, and less human.

Charlie refused to conform. He chose risk over safety, dialogue over silence. That takes courage—the same kind of courage it takes to build a business, to create something new, and to stand alone when it’s easier to follow.

@francispouliot_ @LynAldenContact What kind of transaction fees do they charge?

[Mike Frankel @MikeFrankel3]

@Harvard Harvard should also pay their fair share of taxes.

@vitaliyk Nor can it allow its own industries to be hollowed out by others

[Mike Frankel @MikeFrankel3]

@BobEUnlimited Seems like cause and effect is confused here. Crossover is due to Fed response function pegged to 2%.

@stats_feed Other countries can trade with Cuba all they want. Why do they need to tell USA what to do?

[Mike Frankel @MikeFrankel3]

@JamesMelville So where are all the demonstrators when Arabs themselves bomb other Arabs or Palestinians? Where are mass protests against Assad?
Seems like mostly anti Israel and not pro Palestinian.

@davidsirota It's nice to preach from comforts of your safe home.
Also a bit of hypocrisy. David's ancestors seem to have settled on land stolen from Indians. Don't see him ending his own occupation and planning a move back to his 'ancestral' lands whatever they are.

@NorthmanTrader How many $ does San Francisco spend per homeless person? And how’s that working out?

@JamesMelville @dylangrice The civilians of Gaza are ones who elected Hamas with full knowledge that killing Jews was part of the platform

[Mike Frankel @MikeFrankel3]

@johncusack @dylangrice Did anyone protest against Hamas? Any posters against Hamas?
I didn’t think so.

[Mike Frankel @MikeFrankel3]

@vitaliyk You make it sound like the only difference between socialism and capitalism is a matter of efficiency.
In reality, socialism is inherently evil by construction, giving absolute political and economic power to a small group of bureaucrats and removing any alternatives.

@francispouliot_ @LynAldenContact @BitcoinJungleCR Are prices listed on bitcoin or fiat? What transaction fees do these businesses charge?

[Mike Frankel @MikeFrankel3]

@_jay_turner Maybe track the main ingredient- electricity.
Any new power plants being built?
Distribution grid upgrades?
