Being trans mtf is a cheat code for getting into an elite college:
1) Trans = diversity points
2) Woman = more diversity points
3) Dominate any sport = extra curricular points
Much easier than getting into college as a cis man
For two years in a row, high school athlete Lauren Matthew came in 2nd to a male in the WA State GIRLS 400m State Track Championship.
Here is the empty 2nd podium spot where she refused to stand the second year, and her holding a sign that says she is the real state champion.
You can stop injustices like these by voting YES on I-638 in November.

@Onedailydollar@DeepValueBagger they work until they don't. there's a concept called volatility drag that really kills you in flat/down markets. e.g., if the index is down 10%, you could be down 40% on a 3x leveraged product
I just became a millionaire
I’m 33, so I didn’t get here as fast as a lot of the wiz kids on tpot. But I started from zero, so I’m proud to reach this milestone now
I have to shout out @DeepValueBagger for helping me beat the market. Thank you for your kindness and generosity
@Onedailydollar@DeepValueBagger my biggest L and lesson of the last year was: do not buy leveraged products like $TQQQ. I had to learn the hard way that they don't simply 2x or 3x the returns of the underlying fund
best advice is that $QQQ is a great place to be, and don't trade if you don't enjoy it
@theswansjr@DeepValueBagger A winning strategy for sure
I’ve also bought some BTC miners to run at home. They’re basically zero profitability after electricity but I look at it as a fun way to stack sats for the long run
@OutsiderClub You can also just buy great companies and hold them
My largest single stock position is $AMZN
AI gives more productivity to capital. Study the Cobb-Douglas function
Capital will continue compounding like crazy during the AI wave. Just need to own high quality names
@Value_Purist@DeepValueBagger My largest single stock position in my taxable brokerage is 6% of my portfolio, so no not really. I’m mostly buying QQQ and then adding certain single stocks like $CRCL, $HOOD, $AVGO, $IREN
@magg63749@DeepValueBagger Buy the good companies at good valuations. Do some options to manage risk and juice gains. Basically DVB’s Peter Lynch 2.0 (see his post about it). My largest holdings are ETFs, but I go overweight on high conviction single stocks
@AshleyZhang_CPA@DeepValueBagger Looking back at the history, my NW started at ~25k in 2018 and doubled every year since then, except for 2022 when it dipped slightly due to lifestyle inflation. I don’t expect to keep that pace but it appears to be true what they say. The first mil is the hardest!
@Value_Purist@DeepValueBagger Little bit of options but mostly shares
The game changer for my options trading was writing CCs and CSPs where I would happily get exercised. For example, I bought 100 shares of CRCL at $115 on an options assignment recently. Happy to collect the premium, buy the shares and hold
@theswansjr@DeepValueBagger Totally agree! BTC was a big part of how I got here
My passive / long term port target allocation is 70-80% QQQ and 20-30% BTC. I will be selling into the top of this cycle over the next ~6 months then re-accumulate over the following lows. I expect it'll come back sub-100k
@DeepValueBagger It’s great to see how you think about trades. Your posts have inspired me to do more research and I enjoy it. It’s fun to learn about the picks & shovels powering AI. Datacenters, chips, even the power companies like $VST. Investing is fun man
@DeepValueBagger That’s right, I came out of grad school in 2018 with a net worth close to zero. Saved and invested over time
Your research on CRCL, TSLA, and IREN all resulted in positive trades for me and helped me outperform QQQ this year. Last 1Y I returned +30% on my taxable brokerage
