Are you ready to have your mind blown?
Since 1989, money invested when the market is at all-time highs has actually outperformed money invested on any given day. 🤯🤯🤯
🚨I FOUND THIS HANDWRITTEN NOTE INSIDE AN OLD INVESTING JOURNAL
No name. No date
Just 11 rules
The strange part?
Every major market cycle
followed the same patterns.
Most investors only notice
them after losing money.
• Treasury buys back debt. The dollar weakens. Gold rises.
• Governments print money. Buy hard assets. Cash loses value.
• Rates keep rising. Growth slows. Short-term bonds look better.
• Rates get cut. Real estate rebounds. Growth usually follows.
• IPOs are everywhere. Optimism peaks. Stay cautious.
• Banks start failing. Don't rush in. More trouble often follows.
• War breaks out. Energy rises. Defense wins. Tech struggles.
• Peace talks begin. Wait before reacting. Headlines can mislead.
• Bear signals stack up. Raise cash slowly. Stay disciplined.
• Everyone says it's different. History says otherwise.
• They tell you to stay the course. Remember whose money it is.
Markets change
Human behavior doesn't
That's why the same patterns
keep showing up.
JEFF BEZOS JUST EMERGED FROM STEALTH WITH A $41 BILLION AI STARTUP CALLED PROMETHEUS
$12 billion raised. Valued at $41 billion. Coming out of stealth today.
The backers: Bezos personally, JPMorgan, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, DST Global, and Arch Venture Partners.
The mission: do for engineering and manufacturing what large language models did for text.
Bezos is calling it an "artificial general engineer." Instead of training on words from the internet, Prometheus ingests data from the physical world to accelerate the manufacturing of skyscrapers, smartphones, jet engines, and everything in between.
In Bezos' own words: "Something that today was going to take 100 engineers 10 years to build, if you can change that to taking 10 engineers one year to build, you're just going to get way more things built."
This is Bezos' first CEO role since stepping down from Amazon in 2021. He's co-leading it with Vik Bajaj, former Google X executive.

@33643pts what an ignorant and race baiting comment, cry more, it’s funny - you’re in the very low minority view and it ain’t changing anytime soon loser
New: Joe Rogan leaves NASA astrophysicist Michelle Thaller completely stuck after asking her a deep question about the reality of time:
ROGAN: “The weirdest thing that I’ve ever heard anybody say is that all time exists currently.”
THALLER: “That’s Albert Einstein.”
ROGAN: “When we measure time what exactly are we measuring? When we create a clock that runs 24 hours per day what is it measuring?”
THALLER: “That’s a deep question. That question caused everything in physics to fall apart.”
ROGAN: “I still don’t understand what we’re measuring.”
THALLER: “I don’t think I have an answer for you. I don’t think anybody does.”
The S&P 500 has been doing the same thing since 1920 and almost nobody frames it correctly.
A new technology arrives. Markets expand for roughly 25 years while that technology reshapes the economy. Then a short consolidation. Then the next technology arrives and does it again.
🔸Electronics: 24 years of expansion.
🔸PCs and internet: 25 years of expansion.
🔸AI and smartphones: we're in year 15.
Every single consolidation phase felt like the end of the world. Every single expansion phase felt "too extended" by year 10.
We've been in "too extended" territory for about 5 years now. The last two cycles ran for another decade after reaching this exact point.
The Bitcoin Decay Model has been extremely accurate during the last 14 years...
It now points for a $BTC target of $153,000 by the end of 2026

NEW: Coinbase and Fannie Mae partner with Better Home & Finance to launch Bitcoin-backed mortgages for U.S. homebuyers.
Borrowers can pledge Bitcoin or USD Coin as collateral for down payments, allowing them to keep their assets and avoid triggering taxable sales.
The loans are structured as conforming mortgages backed by Fannie Mae, meaning they follow standard underwriting rules and carry the same protections as traditional home loans.
The product targets everyday buyers locked out by down payment constraints.
Better says 41% of U.S. families can’t purchase homes due to lack of liquid cash, despite holding savings in other assets.
Rising interest rates and high home prices have tightened affordability.
A buyer targeting a $400K home may struggle to source $40K in cash without selling assets and navigating tax and legal friction.
Coinbase says the offering brings crypto into mainstream housing finance, calling it “as American as apple pie.”
