If she wasn’t working for Elon Gwynne Shotwell would be hailed as an incredible success story and the most powerful woman in aerospace.

Instead it’s radio silence from the media

Elon Musk is now a trillionaire. They’re driving Brink’s trucks loaded up with cash to his house as we speak. He took all the money from the rest of us and they’re just letting him get away with it. It’s an outrage. I’m shaking with righteous anger.

Pessimists sound smart. 

Optimists build the world.

“So you bought Virgin Galactic by accident in your brokerage account?”

“Yes, Dave”

“Just because the ticker symbols are similar and you didn’t even bother to read the actual name of the company”

“That’s right, Dave”

[ValueEngineered @daraider84]

@TheLongInvest Correct. I am here visiting now. South of France is a completely different feel. Felt more like home in California to me. Especially the rural parts inland. I’m more of a Geneva, Alps and Biarritz guy…

“So you sold your Bitcoin at a loss to invest in SpaceX?”

“Yes, Dave”

“At a $1.8 trillion valuation?”

“That’s correct, Dave”

[ValueEngineered @daraider84]

@PeterMallouk Ha, fully agree.

"Nobody buys a farm based on whether they think it’s going to rain next year. They buy because they think it’s a good investment over 10 or 20 years. It's the same with stocks. Think of stocks as a part ownership of a business. It's not that complicated." - Warren Buffett

Americans:

“the birth of my first child is scheduled at 12 2 PM tomorrow, but I am available starting from 2:10 PM”

"The sun is expected to be brighter than usual, and it’s the second week of June. How about after August instead?”

The world is ending 😱

"If you say the world has been getting better, you may get away with being called naive and insensitive. If you say the world is going to go on getting better, you are considered embarrassingly mad.

If, on the other hand, you say catastrophe is imminent, you may expect a MacArthur Genius Award or even the Nobel Peace Prize".

"Pessimism just sounds smarter and more plausible than optimism. Tell someone that everything will be great and they're likely to either shrug you off or offer a skeptical eye. Tell someone they're in danger and you have their undivided attention…

Pessimism can be hard to distinguish from critical thinking and is often taken more seriously than optimism, which can be hard to distinguish from salesmanship and aloofness…

Optimism demands facts and is ditched at the first sign of trouble. Pessimism can be grown from a crazy thought and clutched indefinitely…

[When you extrapolate] All of these could be reasons for pessimism if you assume no future change or adaptation. Which is crazy, given our long history of changing and adapting. But convincing ourselves of future change is hard to do, so pessimism is easy to latch onto.”

[Team Visma | Lease a Bike @vismaleaseabike]

𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘀,

You joined us in 2019 as a young, modest rider full of dreams. Back then, even you could hardly have imagined those dreams would one day become reality.

You quickly proved your talent and not long after delivered the team’s greatest success by winning the Tour de France, followed by a second victory just a year later.

It seemed as if the future lay entirely at your feet until everything suddenly came to a standstill after a serious crash in the spring of 2024. Those moments must have felt endless, but you kept fighting.

A few months later you were back in the Tour, once again showing what an extraordinary fighter you are by finishing second behind perhaps the best rider in the world.

You never stopped chasing your dreams. Last summer you claimed your first La Vuelta victory and now, with the Giro d’Italia, you have completed the trilogy.

You have done yourself great honour in reaching this milestone. Achievements like these are reserved for the very best in the sport. But you have not only honoured yourself, you have also honoured the team. Your journey is now Woven Into History, marking a new chapter in our team’s history, and for that we will be forever grateful.

With heartfelt thanks from the whole team. 💌

[John & Margaret @ukboomers]

Got a one star review on our Cornwall Airbnb. £400 a night and they want us to move our personal belongings out of the master bedroom. That's Margaret's mother's ashes on the windowsill. She loved the view. She stays. Consider it part of the experience.

Amazon $AMZN IPOed in 1997 for $438 million. Million.

Today 29 years later SpaceX $SPCX will be IPOing at $2 Trillion.

That's 4500x higher....

IPO is exit liquidity, not an early opportunity anymore.

My shoeshine boy advised me to buy Micron $MU

I’m in Mexico, and my bartender who can’t speak English just told me to buy $MU stock.
