i'm going to be posting here a lot more to share what we're learning, and what we're building (including the parts we haven't figured out yet)
if you're in the arena or want to be, welcome :)
The simplest way to judge if we're in a bear or a bull market is via the % of stocks above 200-day MA.
% of stocks above 200 MA sustaining for at least a month above 50 → Bull Market
% of stocks above 200 MA sustaining for at least a month below 50 → Bear Market
A thread 🧵
Ravana had everything -brilliance, knowledge, power and wealth. Except the wisdom to know when he was wrong.
He lost everything because he refused to reconsider one disastrous decision.
" There is a little Ravana in every investor. "
Investors don't always lose money because they lack knowledge. Sometimes they lose because they have too much conviction in a wrong decision.
In investing, being right makes you money. Knowing when you are wrong saves your wealth. ✌️
Happy Vijayadashami 🙏
Your smart home could become AI’s next target. 😳
Anthropic warns that rogue AI agents could soon hack smart TVs, security cameras, ovens and other connected devices, then spread to other vulnerable devices without human help.
Anthropic says this level of autonomous AI hacking doesn't exist yet, but it could be months away.
Once you master taking small losses, you are set for life.
It’s like having an emergency exit inside every trade.
You stop arguing with the market.
You get out, protect your capital, and remain ready for the next opportunity.
@suchitrak Your “democratic right” to violent protests does not override the public’s right to live in peace. Break the law and the same Constitution already has every provision to prosecute you for anarchy.
As an African,
I hope India’s 1.4 billion people realize this recent wave of bad-faith PR and viral racist attacks is coordinated to pressure India into opening its domestic markets to foreign billionaires.
Elon completely dodged a simple math.
"Benefiting the average citizen" has been the foreign corporate trojan horse since time immemorial.
Remember Bill Gates pushing patented GM seeds across Africa and Asia under the banner of "saving poor farmers from starvation"
only for farmers to end up trapped in debt and dependent on Western monopolies for seeds every season?
I’m yet to see a foreign billionaire care about ordinary people when market extraction isn't the real goal.
Elon never names an actual price for those rural areas. Starlink charges $27/month in its cheapest market (Rwanda), plus massive hardware fees. Who in remote rural India is paying that?
domestic internet costs around $4/month?!
The irony is wild: Washington bans TikTok and forces ByteDance out because foreign tech supposedly threatens "national security" and data sovereignty, yet expects an emerging superpower like India to hand over its skies on request.
Any sensible person should see this for what it truly is.
The greatest superpower is the ability to enjoy life as it is.
खुश रहना एक nature है. Some people don’t need a reason to be happy, to laugh, or to enjoy life. वो बस खुश रहते हैं।They’re naturally happy, and in my opinion, no superpower is greater than that.
आपको कुछ नहीं चाहिए. No amount of money, fame, or worldly possessions can give lasting happiness. इन सब चीज़ों की एक बहुत छोटी half-life होती है, और ये कोई long-lasting change आपके अंदर नहीं लाती हैं. For those who spend their lives feeling miserable and searching for happiness in all the wrong places, learning the art of simply being happy could be a revelation.
Luckiest are those who are fortunate enough to be naturally happy, without any effort. They’re born happy and die happy.
Healthy dialogue is always important for greater understanding. The real lesson here is understanding India and this truth: you want to do business with India, you respect the country first and then, secondly, talk to PM @narendramodi and the Indian Government. Period.
Furthermore, the PM and India would never bypass its own business talent and national contributors, in this case Mr. Ambani Ji and Mr. Adani Ji, for a foreign company, Starlink. Especially in matters of national security. The PM is elected to protect the homeland and promote “India First” in a free enterprise. The rural areas of India are better served by homegrown companies. And the best diplomacy and strategy for American interest in India, my dear @elonmusk, should be towards partnering with Indian companies to elevate the Indian people. A greater force for good is a Ambani-Adani-Musk alliance for India’s rural areas! 🇺🇸🇮🇳
As for all you “Rahul trolls” on X, many of you are young people with great potential. You can continue circling the fictitious narrative that Rahul will be PM of India. Meanwhile, the @BJP-led NDA and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) have emerged as the dominant forces in the October 2026 by-elections, with all six constituencies across four states and Union Territories going in their favour. The results dealt a setback to Congress, TMC, DMK and AIADMK, none of which secured a victory. Governance is won through elections. Voting is power. Not trolling on X.
Honestly, if @RahulGandhi loved his country as much as he criticizes his country, and spent more time advancing the positives of the PM’s transformative policies, he could be taken seriously to lead India. But, I digress. PM Modi elected consistently over a span of 25 years, 12 years as PM, is not by chance. There is divinity attached to the PM’s longevity, real inspiration, in addition to his acumen as a serial visionary and global strategic force.
So carry on my dears with Rahul as your fictitious hero. PM Modi is India’s real hero. God bless you all. 🇺🇸🇮🇳
