Listened to the conversation between @bungarsargon and Bret Stephens last night @92ndStreetY. She has a very sensitive sequence of winning arguments with this book. A love story between America and its Jews.

@AlecMacGillis This is the opposite of bleak. A man who took his and his family’s fate onto his shoulders with conviction, developing himself into blessing for his family, company and, ultimately, his country. This is pretty inspiring.

@perspez This framework is the most likely to be an accurate read IMO.

@ChristBrissi Short sellers in charge. Would rather be long than short here.

[Alexander Hennessy @_thewestphalian]

@shiyuanwang1210 Some combination of short selling, atm pressure, and lower volume. For now, short sellers in total control of the movement.

@TheStalwart Cui bono? Who benefits?

@phamtruax For someone entering, these look to be good levels. The company can't afford to let the price remain below $1 for long, so there's something of a floor at $1. Nice asymmetry for someone willing to carry some risk.

@bulkeley_john @RedWavePress And the Democratic Party hasn’t been able to claim the mantle of liberalism for quite some time.

[Alexander Hennessy @_thewestphalian]

@bulkeley_john @RedWavePress It’s definitely not in the name of liberalism. They openly hate liberals.

@DonalMoloney10 @RachelMoiselle The pity of it all

New York: As hard to leave as keep.

@Jason @Jesse_Livermore What if the point was failed negotiations to begin with? What if Vance was always the fall guy? All Trump had to do was let him negotiate the deal he wanted - one that would never work.

[Alexander Hennessy @_thewestphalian]

JD Vance is the fall guy.

I suspect they figured somewhere along the way they didn’t quite like the cut of his jib.

So they sent him in to negotiate a peace that he genuinely wanted - showing his hand - but they was always doomed to fail.

@YodaStockInvest Not survivable for buy and hold.

@R89Capital @yishan @GadSaad @megynkelly I don’t know that this is true but I’ll assume it is. It comports with the idea that the walls to worry about are the ones to keep you in.

[Alexander Hennessy @_thewestphalian]

@yishan @GadSaad @megynkelly He’s saying the Canadian tax law is orders of magnitude worse than the unfair tax laws that Americans revolted against.

How did it feel when the Knicks came back from 29 down to beat your boy?

One of the best books I’ve read. If you care about technology or the economy - that’s everybody on X - read it.

First time I’ve discovered and read a book recommended by ChatGPT

The Nature of Technology, W. Brian Arthur:
