This metric will be increasingly interesting to watch post-Luce delivery.

If Ferrari continues to keep production tight, we can safely assume that they aren't flooding the market or forcing allocations.

If management can reiterate long backlogs, this will signal sustained demand for core ICE/hybrid models without needing to "force" Luce.

Calculating portfolio beta and the Sharpe ratio is essential for any serious investor committed to beating the market into perpetuity.

Together, these metrics provide the rigorous, quantifiable framework that separates emotional or story-driven investing from a repeatable process capable of compounding wealth through full market cycles.

If you aren't maintaining a decisive, mathematically driven edge, how could you possibly call yourself an investor?

There is real risk of stagflation creeping in.

Higher energy costs will act as a tax on growth. Imagine this: businesses and households reduce spending, capital expenditures slow down, and suddenly, you’re left with weak economic momentum and persistent inflation.

This is precisely why I emphasize to my small but dedicated audience the significance of financial literacy and stability.

Rome didn’t “fall” in a single day; instead, it gradually disintegrated over time due to the erosion of social cohesion and economic pressures. Today, the United States faces historic levels of polarization, insurmountable debt, strained border and migration issues, and questions about its global role. It’s a sad day for the United States of America. No sitting president should have to endure multiple assassination attempts.

Irregardless of whether you’re invested in $ADBE or not, this comparison is a logical fallacy. Charter’s drop stems from structural cable-industry headwinds that no buybacks can fix, unlike Adobe’s high-margin, growing SaaS business where buybacks will be highly accretive on top of organic cash-flow expansion.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Let’s discuss this further if you can demonstrate a structural decline in the fundamentals.

Adobe's Serious Buyback Math

Total shares the $25 billion can retire now:

25,000,000,000 / 239.62 = 104.33 million shares

FCF alone generates more than $10 billion a year. This is enough to buyback 43 million shares annually at current prices with zero debt.

Even spreading the full $25 billion evenly over 4 years:

6,250,000,000 / 239.62 = 26.08 million shares retired per year

Compound over 4 years (with any FCF growth + shrinking base) and you’re looking at 25–35%+ total share reduction. Funded 100% organically. This is textbook elite capital allocation.

Heads I win, tails I don’t lose much.

You think so?

This menu is the perfect microcosm of the sad monetary reality in the United States of America. Cumulative inflation on the menu rose 71.6%, which equates to a 5.55% CAGR. Prices grew by about 5.55% compounded annually just to keep up with inflation.

(6.35/3.70)^(1/10) - 1 =0.0555

Here is the real gut punch: the burger's rise in price tracks the flood of newly printed dollars almost perfectly. The neophyte class will assume this stems from corporate greed, but the weary truth is that it’s a symptom of a diluted currency chasing the same supply of beef, potatoes, labor, and real estate.

Every time you think about giving up on your pursuit of financial freedom and fiscal dominance, remember how little elected "leaders" care about you.

@itsdeaann Unfortunately, Dean, I disagree with you on almost everything, but any Christian who defends this is quite literally a disgrace to the faith.

[Eustathios Stefanos @Adamtradez]

Don't be fooled by pundits or jesters that dubiously claim the United States economy is experiencing a golden age.

Just to put this into perspective, consumers are the engine of the U.S. economy, and this was the weakest reading in the survey's 74-year history, below even the low from 2022 when the economy was teetering with double-digit inflation.

The sun sets, leaving the course empty. Stars twinkle, and dew clings to the grass.

I walk it, knowing this is where the real grind happens—alone, without likes or crowds, just me and the next step toward time and location independence.

Most people clock out at dusk, handing their freedom to someone else’s schedule. Not me. I allocate capital strategically while the world sleeps. Every disciplined move—rebalancing, stacking gold, or running volatility arbitrage—brings me closer to my desired life.

Grinding isn’t sexy. It’s showing up in the dark, studying order flow and probability instead of chasing dopamine hits. Compound interest and asymmetric bets do the heavy lifting, and one day, the alarm clock disappears, and the fairway is mine.

True freedom isn’t built under bright lights. It’s forged in the quiet, under this vast sky, despite the dim path and messy macro.

De-dollarization is structural. Central banks are loading gold, and bonds signal most ignore. Those who see it and act own the course.

I’m not stopping. My mission is to secure time and location independence through smart capital allocation. No financial advice—just my experience.

The stars shine through the night, and I do too. Keep grinding, investing with discipline, and building the position that buys you freedom.

What strategic move are you making now—portfolio shift, skill grind, or capital allocation—to move closer to your independence?

Drop it below. Let’s hold each other to the long game.

The night is young.
The future belongs to those who walk it.

In aggregate, my followers that I engage with regularly are intelligent people. What you're looking at is a graph that tracks the term premia on a 10-year zero-coupon Treasury bond.

In plain English: it's the extra yield investors demand today to lock money into a 10-year bond instead of just rolling over short-term Treasuries for the next decade.

@POTUS vowed "the lowest interest rates in history," "inflation crushed immediately," "cheap borrowing for everyone," "massive growth with no pain," and an economy so beautiful that money would basically print itself while he yelled at the Fed to cut rates.

In reality, the bond market has a mind of its own and is not content with the United States currently, to say the least.

[Eustathios Stefanos @Adamtradez]

At my age, my driving mission remains securing time and location independence through strategic capital allocation.

The traditional income-focused portfolio with its heavy allocation to US bonds and dividend stocks is facing structural headwinds. The past decade marked one of the worst decades for bonds on record, with US Treasuries exhibiting a negative correlation to money supply growth amid persistent deficits and inflation pressures.

Rebalancing into what I presume to be a value-oriented portfolio is the superior move for me to make, especially considering I've been outperforming the market year to date amidst this decline.

Vanguard and Invesco’s 2026 studies reveal that reducing US concentration and diversifying into international hard assets can lower risk while boosting long-term returns. This concept becomes increasingly pertinent in our contemporary world, especially as the US grapples with reputational damage under the guise of populist policies.

Remember, de-dollarization is structural: the USD share of global reserves is at a 20-year low, and central banks now hold more gold than US Treasuries for the first time in three decades.

[Eustathios Stefanos @Adamtradez]

I think that this recent sell-off in gold is dubious, even beyond the obvious math, for a myriad of reasons.

The dollar's recent strength and elevated real yields almost never stay extreme for long, and when they roll over, gold explodes.

My strategy is simple to understand in theory but is hard to reflect into practice. I sell expensive skew premium on an asset whose real-world downside probability is far lower than the options market is pricing. The recent 15% drop just widens my margin of safety.

[Eustathios Stefanos @Adamtradez]

Good afternoon, USA!

Welcome to the precipice of the debt crisis, a manufactured crisis orchestrated by cronies and the expansive welfare state. We now stand at a crisis-level debt-GDP ratio, surpassing 120%. Interest payments alone consume nearly a quarter of the federal budget, and this situation is only expected to worsen.

Our esteemed @POTUS, who has played a pivotal role in eroding the purchasing power of the average American, has now squandered an estimated $25 billion on a foreign war with no apparent end in sight.

Prepare yourselves for the slow-motion fiscal suicide that awaits us:

- Increased taxes
- Inflation/debasement
- Capital controls
- Exit taxes

Isn’t this a resounding victory?

[Eustathios Stefanos @Adamtradez]

My prediction is that the U.S. Petro-Dollar is collapsing in real time. If we break down what is currently happening, the calculus of this process is profound.

Iran recently issued a Hormuz “Yuan-for-passage” ultimatum, and sanctioned producers are fully embracing non-dollar transactions. These are two of the most significant accelerants happening right now.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet any day now that Iran implements a Petro-Yuan plan for oil trade through the strait of Hormuz. This will invite volatility that will send reverberations through markets.

I am finishing up some math that explores a long trade in gold weighing risks and rewards.
