One of my businesses is selling merchandise online i just love it! 😂

This is the result of everyone wanting the minimum wage raised for entry level fast food worker jobs

Everyone will just be replaced with robots

This is the Donatos autonomous automatic pizza maker, all actions are performed by a robot while you watch. The pizza is made start to finish in about 6 minutes with no human

I ran the numbers,

Labor savings at this site alone is substantial. A staffed small pizza counter running 16 hours with 2–3 people at about $20 an hour is roughly $230,000–$350,000 a year in wages

If a company did this nationwide:

- 500 of these kiosks would save about $100–150 million a year in gross labor avoided
- 1,000 of these kiosks would save about $200–300 million a year gross

You wanted to get paid a professional wage for working fast food and now the result is you won’t even have a job

This is the reality 😆

@TGLetter @grok IDK is this legit?

Haha that's FAPAI. It's pretty simple though if you want privacy put up curtains or privacy film. Can't stop from people looking in for that matter

I actually LOVE buying falling knives.

Not broken companies.

Stocks where sentiment is awful, the chart looks disgusting, and almost nobody wants to touch them.

Here are 5 falling knives I’d actually catch:

1/ Nike | $NKE

Nike has plenty to fix, but one of the strongest brands in the world trading with this much pessimism is exactly the kind of turnaround setup that interests me.

@LadeBackk I swear most of these people who start "communities" are making $$ from monthly fees. Thats the meat and potatoes, trading is just a way to continue the ruse

[Tomz @TomtheApplePRO]

@mvnnnyyy You caught the bottom you still holding?

[THE SHORT BEAR @TheShortBear]

Disaster

the dramatic drawdown, the painful reversal of fortune, the failed strategies and idea, is not the exception. it is the natural, inevitable friction of any high-stakes venture.

Every one of us will face moments when the fundamentals we trust are questioned, and the bottom line is bleeding.

The vast majority of the world operates under the delusion that absolute, seamless success is the expected norm.

They are unprepared for the depth of the valley, only perceived by those who try something worthwhile.

Our true value, our competitive advantage, is not established during the bull run. It is revealed entirely by how we act in those dire moments.

It is the disciplined response to a crisis, not the reaction to a windfall, that defines us as leaders and shapes our enterprise.

Long-term, compounding success is never a stroke of luck. It is forged in Perseverance. It is built on the strength of our Adaptation and our Action through the most grueling part of the journey: the daily, painful requirement of showing up without capitulating.

In the dark of the market correction, in the despair of the valley of failure, when the environment is hostile and the data is grim, we execute. We maintain the systems, we trust the process, and we refuse to let go.

This resolute execution, year after year, in the face of inevitable challenge, is the only true path to enduring wealth and legacy.

Understand the path will take everything and march on. I will walk the path with you, until we dine in heaven once more.

This is how @Qullamaggie made $700.000+ in NIO

@SexyShortSeller You will find a way to crawl back Do not give up! Right now, your only job is to hone the process set some rules and work on your discipline

[SMB Capital @smbcapital]

I don’t buy a bounce just because a stock looks extended.

I wait for 4 things: Stretch. Wall. Off Side Scalp. Snap. Then I enter.

[CMS Invests @cmsinvests]

Nvidia is quietly building a massive portfolio outside of its own company.

If Jensen Huang is putting Nvidia’s money behind them, I’m paying attention.

Here are 5 stocks Nvidia is buying:

1) $INTC - $30 billion

🚨 THEY DON’T WANT THIS PUBLIC, SO I’M POSTING IT.

What you’re looking at in this image is HOW THE GAME IS ACTUALLY PLAYED.

Insiders don’t care about RSI, MACD, or whatever indicator is trending this week.

They care about WHERE LIQUIDITY SITS, WHO’S TRAPPED, AND HOW TO FORCE REACTIONS.

Retail looks at a chart and sees chaos.

Institutions see the SAME STRUCTURES REPEATING OVER AND OVER:

- QML setups
- Fakeouts and liquidity grabs
- Demand and supply flips
- Compression into expansion
- Stop hunts disguised as breakouts
- Flag limits
- Reversal structures that repeat cycle after cycle

NONE OF THIS IS ACCIDENTAL.

Every pattern on that chart exists for one reason:

TO MOVE PRICE INTO AREAS WHERE ORDERS ARE STACKED.

Once you understand that, a lot of things stop hurting you.

You stop chasing green candles. You stop panic-selling red ones. You stop getting liquidated on moves that felt “random.”

This is why MOST TRADERS LOSE.

They react to price instead of understanding WHY PRICE IS MOVING.

The people who survive this market spend years studying charts like this until it finally clicks.

After that, the market feels SLOWER, CLEARER, AND FAR LESS EMOTIONAL.

Save this tweet. Study it.

If you can learn to read WHAT INSTITUTIONS ARE DOING instead of guessing what comes next, you’re already ahead of 99.9% OF PEOPLE HERE.

Remember: I’ve been trading markets for 20+ years.

I’ve seen every kind of bubble, crash and liquidation.

I only care about the moves that matter.

When the next one comes, my followers will see it first.

You won’t get a second warning.

[Latent Conviction @l_conviction]

- $103k usd.

On September 9th, 2025, I lost ~$103k on a single ticker.

1 yr anniversary to my biggest single ticker loss to date

$QMMM. One stock. Double my worst red day ever up to that point. The worst single event of my career.

I've sat on this for a while because I wanted to tell it honestly — not the cleaned-up version. So here's the whole thing, the fear included:

For context: I was a fully systematic short seller. Low floats, parabolics, mostly the same handful of setups executed the same way every time. The edge is in the repetition — which is also the trap. When the market shifts under you, you can't reach over and change the wheel mid-corner. You just have to sit there and take it.

Going into that week, something felt off. September is historically trappy — 2024 had its own bloodbath that took a chunk out of a lot of accounts. I survived that one by being smaller and more cautious. But this time I had this quiet, sinking feeling I was about to get tested at a level I'd never seen. I couldn't shake it. I just didn't know when it would come, or whether I'd be able to do anything about it when it did.

Then $QMMM showed up. A perfect storm: micro float, high price, tight rotation, a float that looked deliberately squeezed. Premarket it started ripping. I got stopped out a few times early, trimmed by the rules, ate maybe $20–30k. Annoying, but survivable. I told myself it was just a rough open.

The real damage came in the afternoon. After 12pm it went vertical — $11 to $60, nearly 500%. By my system it was massively overextended, a textbook blow-off, more than enough meat on the bone for the short. So I did what I always do and entered around $60 near 1pm.

Then it halted.

If you've never sat in a halt with size on the wrong side, I don't know how to describe that specific kind of dread. You can't do anything. You can't exit, can't adjust, can't hedge. You just stare at a frozen screen with your stomach in your throat, running the math on a number you can't yet escape. The indication pointed downside — for a second I let myself breathe.

Then it resumed and gapped straight UP. Through the high of day. Way above my stop. Bigger size than usual, a stop too tight for a stock built to run like that, and brutal slippage all compounding at once. A 3–4x loss on what should've been a routine trade, printed in seconds while I could only watch.

That night was bad. I kept replaying the entry, the stop, the halt, the gap — the whole sequence on a loop. It wasn't just the money. It was the feeling that I'd been shown my own ceiling, that I'd walked in knowing something was wrong and still couldn't protect myself from it. The drawdown that followed sat on me for days. You wake up with it. You eat with it. It colors everything, even the wins, because every green day just felt like slowly crawling out of a hole I'd dug in an afternoon.

But here's the part I didn't expect — I still closed September green. The same chaos that wrecked me blew out a ton of other low floats in the days that followed. By late Sep the clean setups came back and I clawed most of the hole back, day by grinding day. That $100k ended up being only 10–20% of my total drawdown.

And in hindsight, it's exactly what I needed.

3 things I took from it:
1st, outsized losses are inevitable. Fat-tailed markets guarantee it. An outsized loss is NOT the same as blowing up — it's the cost of playing a game with tails this fat. Once I truly accepted that, and found ways to size my trades properly, the fear loosened its grip. I stopped trading scared.

2nd, pure systematic isn't enough. I'm still mostly systematic, still shorting these low floats, but I've layered in real discretion. When I can sense a hot cycle building now, I cut my size by at least half. That single adjustment has saved me five figures this year already.

3rd — and this is the one that changed me — recovery is the real edge. Clawing back from this was the biggest confidence boost of my career. In the worst of it I made myself a promise: if I can come back from this, that belief is worth more than the money I lost. And I did. It's happened enough times now that I know it in my bones — no matter how deep the hole, I climb out. That conviction is the quietest, most valuable thing I own, because it's what lets me size up with a clear head.
