@CoachDBA Thanks again brother! It’s been a wild journey and I’m truly grateful.
I suppose it’s time to change my handle to Michael B. The Popeye handle has been fun but would feel weird being called Popeye on TsTV. 🤣

PRO TRADERS VS NEW TRADERS:

[tetsuo @tetsuoai]

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.

Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.

And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.

You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

After Tim Walz said this:

-Tesla is up 80%
-SpaceX went public
-Elon Musk has become a trillionaire.

Thoughts and prayers to Tim in this tough time 🤣

Roger Federer dropped some real wisdom in his Dartmouth commencement speech:

He won nearly 80% of his 1,526 professional matches, but only 54% of the points he played.

Even one of the greatest tennis players of all time lost almost half his points.

His lesson: Don’t dwell on every mistake. A double fault, a lost point, even a bad day, it’s just one point. The champions move on quickly with the same focus and fire for the next one.

This is one of the best mindset lessons I’ve heard in a long time. It applies way beyond tennis.

Life is full of losses and setbacks. The difference between average and exceptional is how quickly you reset and keep playing.

The Earth is greening at a rate never seen before in all recorded history, according to NASA satellite records from 1982–2023.

Global crop yields have risen 15–20% since 1960, almost entirely attributable to CO₂ fertilisation (Idso, 2013; IPCC AR6 WG1 Ch5). Famine deaths have plummeted over a time when the world's population doubled and CO₂ deserves much of the credit. We have increased CO₂ over the past century to thank for this explosion in plant life and available plant food from booming agriculture.

There's been a more than 18% increase in the global leaf area in 40 years, with the largest gains in India and China from CO₂ fertilisation. Warmer and more balmy temperatures are lengthening the growing seasons. These are features of rising levels of water vapour and cloud cover around the world. Every 100 ppm increase in CO₂ typically boosts plant growth by 25–50% in all non-water-limited conditions.

This analysis draws on 776 studies from 1993–2019, showing an ideal average CO₂ level of 550 ppm delivers a 38% increase in global biomass.

It's an astonishing windfall for life on earth from CO₂, a trace gas at 420 ppm (or 0.04%). It also has a secondary benefit for life by contributing to baseline levels of warmth around the planet, along with water vapour and other trace gases with similar properties, like methane (approx. 1.9 ppm or 0.00019%).

However, water vapour and cloud cover are the mainstays of rainfall and the entire hydrologic cycle, returning water as precipitation to rivers, lakes, and oceans (where 78% of rain ends up).

These are the reasons why commercial greenhouses pump CO₂ to 1,000–1,500 ppm deliberately. It ensures that crop yields jump by 20–70% depending on the crop. If 1000 ppm is good for tomatoes, why is 420 ppm an 'emergency' for the planet?

The science says 600–1,000 ppm of CO₂ plus 1–2°C extra warming hits the sweet spot for all terrestrial and marine life, including human civilisation. We should not be waging war on a trace gas that makes the planet greener.

Higher CO₂ is a net benefit to life on Earth.

@CoachDBA My mom just sent me a few boxes has been holding for 30 years. I know there’s a few hundred Garbage Pail cards in there from the 80’s. Guess I should take a look at current prices on what I got. I have no clue at the moment.

@KorabiTrades @Topstep Great Stuff!!

@SusieM414141 @MAGA_X_Times Although this is only a clip and not the whole event, why not invite him to sit down and chat with him, pray for him and identify if he’s an actual threat before calling the cops. Everyone deserves the chance for salvation. It’s the Jesus Way after all…

@ItsCoachJay @Topstep @TopstepTV 100% serious without a doubt I owe my recent success in futures trading to you, @CoachDBA, @TopstepHoag and the rest of the TopstepTV crew. Although today is not so hot for a silver permabull like me 😳😬🤣.

Trading will expose every mental and emotional weakness you have.

Greed? You'll destroy your account with big losses.

Fear? You won’t be able to take your signal entries.

Impatience? You will trade too much.

Ego? You will be unable to cut losses short.

Trading doesn’t change you, it just reveals who you are.

[Popeye The Trader @StrongInvestor]

@TheH0n3stTrader Boom! Well said!

[The Honest Trader @TheH0n3stTrader]

People really think traders have it easy.

We got no colleagues.
No boss to blame when things go bad.
No stable paycheck hitting every month.

We trade alone.

We go through brutal drawdowns.

We lose in one day what a normal dude makes in a whole year.

And the craziest part?
Nobody understands it unless they lived it.

This life looks flashy from the outside.

Inside, it’s stress, discipline, and war with your own mind.

Trading ain’t easy, dude.
It's brutal.
