If you lost your job tomorrow & had to replace your salary asap, here's exactly what you should do:
Step 1: Go to Instagram and start a fresh account. Use a spare email. Nobody has to know.
6 months from now, you could be living a completely different life. All you have to do is stay disciplined and consistent. Don't let a few tough days hold you back. Stay consistent, stay focused and watch yourself level up. You’ll thank yourself for not giving up.
After 15 yrs on Wall Street I retired at 38. Got bored after 2 yrs and at the request of clients started the VRA in 2003, which as it turned out was one of the first, online (only) investment newsletters.
In my second Letter (2003) I recommended gold @ $350 and silver @ $5. We’ve never removed our buy rating on either. We’ve also, for 23 years, recommended to our subs that they should save in gold over fiat. This recommendation alone has helped 100’s (likely 1000’s) to become multi-millionaires.
Beginning 2 weeks ago we made the call that rates would soon rollover, as disinflation becomes the primary theme into the 2030’s.
We’ve since been adding aggressively to our gold/silver/miner recs.
We’re still early in this bull market of bull markets. We see gold topping $15k and silver $300 by 2030. Investors will make absolute fortunes from here in gold miners with >3 million/oz in the ground.
This is the best buying opportunity of the last 3-4 years. 🚀
I love the World Cup. But the older I get, the more I realise it's about far more than football: each tournament tells us something about empire, migration, identity, power and the changing world. So: a few quick thoughts ! 1/5
Quick math:
Assume your an AI lab and you got a ~1.8T param MoE model, 16 experts × ~111B params, with 2 experts active per token = ~280B active params.
If you serve at FP8 (1 byte/param), you can estimate theoretical max token throughput just from HBM bandwidth: Max tokens/sec = BW / (2 × active bytes)
H100: 3.35e12 / (2 × 300e9) ≈ 5.6 tok/s × ~0.3 efficiency ≈ 1.7 tok/s per GPU.
With 28 way sharding:
28 × 3.35 = 94 TB/s = ~47 tok/s,
~15–20 realistically.
With batching a pod does ~3,000 tok/s. At 30 tok/s per user, that’s ~100 concurrent users per pod. Anthropic charges $25/M output and $5/M input tokens on Opus 4.8, so revenue is output dominated.
H100 pod (~28 GPUs @ $4/hr) =
~$112/hr. Producing 3,000 tok/s × 3,600 sec = 10.8M output tokens/hr. At $25/M output tokens that’s roughly $270/hr revenue.
Profits per H100 pod: $270 rev − $112 cost = ~$158/hr, ~59% gross margin.
For B200 (8 TB/s HBM, ~2.4× the bandwidth, ~$6/hr). A 15 GPU pod does ~5,500 tok/s batched = ~180 users. That’s 19.8M tok/hr × $25/M ≈ $495/hr revenue at ~$90/hr cost.
Profit for B200 pod: $495 rev − $90 cost = ~$405/hr profit, or ~82% gross margin.
A pod costs about the same whether you are serving 1 user or 180 and every marginal user is pure margin until the KV cache fills.
Staying married, a happy household, evidence of the parents working hard, childhood sports and watch all competitions, lots of hugs, reward merit, punish only egregious misbehavior, don't yell, restrict social media, monitor messages through 8th grade, the real expectation is college and academic excellence without pressure from parents, get children reading books early, no pacifiers, respond to needs not wants, babies sleep on their own through the night by 6 months, identify develop and support any talent or aptiude, one sport after age 10 is ok, communicate openly and easily with kids through grade 12, allow mistakes, and leave them alone in college. And then hope.
I'm only going to say this once. If you want to become a millionaire, you need to learn how to properly use LEAPS.
LEAPs give you leveraged exposure to 100 shares of a stock for a fraction of the cost.
Most people use them wrong. Here's how to use them right:

This looks explosive, look at the volume.
There aren’t many bases like this in the AI healthcare + genomics space.

$RKLB Corporate structure deep dive: Rocket Lab Europe
After a discussion with @TheVan151 , I realized I didn’t know enough about the Rocket Lab Europe structure.
I went out and purchased a bunch of publicly available Dutch documents and German documents. The Ai generated summary is included as screenshots below.
Here’s my take and understanding to the original question: Can Rocket Lab Europe be considered a “European Launcher” and have access to ESA programs?
On March 3, 2026, Rocket Lab incorporated “Rocket Lab Europe B.V.” in Amsterdam — KVK 99960834, $100 in capital, zero employees. On paper, just a shell holding company.
Created right before German regulators approved Rocket Lab’s acquisition of Mynaric AG.
The full ownership chain, confirmed via Mynaric’s own German shareholder disclosure:
1. Rocket Lab USA, Inc.
2. Rocket Lab Europe B.V. 🇳🇱 (Amsterdam holding co)
3. Rocket Lab Germany GmbH 🇩🇪 (Munich)
4. Mynaric AG (acquired)
So, does owning a German subsidiary make Rocket Lab a “European launcher” with access to ESA programs? Short answer: no. Not as far as I understand it.
Rocket Lab’s EU structure does NOT qualify them for ESA’s launcher-specific programs; the European Launcher Challenge and the Flight Ticket Initiative are both reserved for companies that are themselves European-based launch vehicle developers (Isar Aerospace, RFA, PLD Space, Avio, MaiaSpace, Orbex). Rocket Lab remains a US company.
BUT that doesn’t mean they’re locked out of European business or European launches, obviously. They just launched the Celeste mission for ESA. But this is completely separate from the ELC/Flight Ticket Initiative programs that exist specifically to fund and build up “European” launch vehicle developers.
AND a EU-incorporated subsidiary still gives real, practical advantages:
✅ Easier compliance with EU procurement rules that sometimes favor or require a local legal entity
✅ GDPR / data residency requirements are easier to satisfy with an actual EU entity
✅ Ability to employ EU nationals directly
✅ Potentially easier access to EU or member-state-specific funding/industrial programs
Plus they can still sell launches commercially to European customers anytime, no ESA eligibility needed.
So: not a “European launcher,” but very much capable of doing REAL European business which is the obvious strategic move here. We’re still early!
I swear taking zinc in the morning, magnesium at night, and vitamin D+K2 with breakfast changed my life.
I did it literally for 30 days straight & People around me kept asking why I feel more alive.
Here's exactly what I did:
Kobe Bryant woke up at 4am every day for 20 years. everyone knows that. what nobody talks about is what he did with the hours before anyone else was awake and how he described the energy that fueled the mamba mentality
Kobe didn't just train more than everyone else. he lived with a level of discipline that his own teammates found unsettling
he described the mamba mentality as total channeling. pouring every drop of energy into one singular pursuit. eliminating every distraction. every wasted motion. every unnecessary expenditure of focus or force
his trainer said Kobe in peak preparation mode was a different human being. the look in his eyes changed. the way he moved changed. his presence in the room changed. people could feel it before practice even started
- 5 championships. 18 all star selections. 81 points in a single game
- practiced full intensity for 6 hours before team practice started at 10am
- watched more film than most coaches. studied opponents' eye movements and breathing patterns before games
- said he modeled his discipline on the great warriors and monks he read about
he spoke about energy openly. about how the body has a finite amount of it each day and that most people scatter it across 100 different distractions. he said his only advantage was that he aimed all of his at one target
the players who competed against him described the same feeling. that something was different about his intensity. not just physically. energetically. as if the space around him was charged
he called it the mamba mentality. the old traditions would call it something else. channeled life force. transmuted energy. the reservoir that most men empty and kobe kept full
the greatest scorer in modern basketball history said his edge wasn't talent. it was where he pointed his energy while everyone else was wasting theirs
My entire channel is about equity markets, investing, building wealth, and how to get ahead in life financially.
Yet people are shocked that I have strong opinions against those who despise wealth, want to implement punitive wealth taxes, want to demonize any successful company, want to demonize any successful investor or entrepreneur, and try to create an "us vs them" attitude.
Even if i'm not the one being taxed, I can clearly see it's a bad idea to allow a small number of politicians the ability to confiscate the wealth of people at some arbitrary number. Yes, it's targeted at 'billionaires', I know. In 1913, when the income tax was first introduced, it started at 1% for the lowest bracket and 7% for the highest bracket. Now, I pay an effective income tax rate of over 30%.
Don't be mistaken, if wealth taxes get passed they will rapidly move down from billionaires to every day people who saved for retirment. Slippery slope is not a logical fallacy, It literally happens all the time.
