High stakes forge high performance.
Want real discipline? Make your mistakes expensive. I penalize myself a $5k donation to a cause for every slip-up: from a bad trade to a missed gym session. If the cost of breaking your rules isn't painful, you won't change.
BREAKING: Iran says the Strait of Hormuz will now remain fully closed even if the US fulfills all remaining MOU commitments, including the $300 billion reconstruction fund, frozen funds release, naval blockade removal and oil sanctions waivers, unless Israel fully and permanently withdraws from southern Lebanon and permanently stops all attacks in any form, per Tasnim.
Iran’s FM Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf have stated that the first clause requires Israel’s full withdrawal from Lebanese territory, with Iran emphasizing that opening Hormuz in exchange for merely lifting the naval blockade would be a “strategic mistake.”
This comes as Netanyahu has said Israel will remain in the Lebanese security zone “for as long as necessary,” and won’t withdraw, with Iran warning any further negligence will have “severe damaging consequences.”
Update.
As we get closer to the Market Wizards book release, I wanted to provide some insights and updates as to what I have been working on.
First I understand most of you have been following along for multiple years for active stock trading, so I wanted to talk to you first.
You saw me trade small caps actively, sharing multi-6 fig and 7fig trades here fully transparently. These were my active days in the arena. All of those can be found, none were deleted and they will provide great examples as some of you will look to research how my performance came to be.
Once I reached a certain account size, I shifted my approach, mostly because of the footprint I had because of my size and the increasing fat tail risk I felt put me in danger in small caps.
You then saw me partake in vision trades, pyramided through time, first on $MELI, followed by $BABA and finally $UNH which ended up ~6x the acc from there.
Once I sold $UNH I had reached all goals I had set for myself and had my interview with Market wizards where all the above was crystallised. 13y of trading, from nothing to one of the best traders in the world.
Understand from that point on my interest in active stressful trading shifted.
At the time AI had been running for 2.5y at the time.
I partook in some trades still from there like $SNDK with big size and laid low from there until recent short attempts by the pod.
My interest shifted to Crypto from there, not because of altcoins or store of value, but because I wanted to partake in what I felt like was the next stage of AI and global infrastructure. I wanted to build new things, invest in the space and grow with it as we got (and still get closer) to the clarity act.
I have explained the main aspects, boiling down to stablecoins, tokenization, settlement, smart contract, speed, immutability, defi, dapp, self-sovereign identity/AI agents and decentralisation.
The investment trade is just one part, over the past months I have focused on building AI infrastructure, giving my pod access to its power through multiple projects ranging from self improving database based agents searching for alpha, trade analysis and feedback, API data pipeline to automated exotic data retrieval and more.
My interest very much remains in the space and trading as a whole.
Good news on the trading side.
The book will create a lot of questions and interest in my path and approach which I want to properly address. I have been seriously thinking about restarting my Substack as I miss writing, where we now have 14k+ followers https://t.co/VMTviDdYVW.
I would cover trading topics there and gather all feedback from the book I will receive. How to think, plan, execute, review, build tools and more over time, including trading examples and stock specific ideas.
I will likely build this in the same fashion as Michael Burry, but will wait on feedback first to see if there is even interest.
People will be able to choose, my twitter remains the same as always.
BREAKING: Iran has delivered its highly anticipated "10-point" response to the US' "15-point peace plan."
Iran's 10-point plan includes:
1. Guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again
2. Permanent end to the war, not just a ceasefire
3. End to Israeli strikes in Lebanon
4. Lifting of all US sanctions on Iran
5. End to all regional fighting against Iranian allies
6. In return, Iran would open the Strait of Hormuz
7. Iran would impose a Hormuz fee of $2 million per ship
8. Iran would split these fees with Oman
9. Iran to provide rules for safe passage through Hormuz
10. Iran to use Hormuz fees for reconstruction instead of reparations
President Trump's "deadline" for a peace deal with Iran is 25 hours away.
Trump is giving Iran $14 Billion windfall by easing sanctions. It becomes clearer by the day that Iran has major leverage so long as Iran controls Hormuz. This will grow https://t.co/yctMeJ4GM6
