Financial literacy is more than just knowledge—it’s the foundation of freedom and opportunity. Grateful for leaders like Secretary Bessent who are working to make this a national priority.

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

Financial literacy is financial security, and financial security gives you freedom.

It’s my honor to lead the Financial Literacy Education Commission (FLEC), which met today to discuss how we can empower more citizens to become financially literate and ultimately achieve the American Dream.

From investing in the stock market to saving for a rainy day, there are so many tools and tactics available to drive a more prosperous America.

Here’s why having a rational conversation doesn’t work in CA

CA uses 1.5-1.7 mil barrels of oil a day. CA produces 400k yet has more than enough to be self reliant. Instead CA buys from Iraq and other countries to supply the need. It costs more, is dirtier and burns more pollutants in the air, needs to be shipped around the world in cargo ships that pollutes the air and has a possibility to spill more oil exponentially into the oceans then the pipeline with safety valves which far exceeds the requirements (SOC Sable offshore). This is a case of idiots wanting what “sounds” good rather than is good for the environment. The govt needs to see the big picture and do what’s best for the state and country and stand up to this incompetence, however the CCC (CA coastal commission) is made up of said idiots 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@GuyTalksFinance Switch to GLDM, it has a 0.10% fee vs GLD at 0.40%.

@SpeakerJohnson Ah yes, nothing says ‘for the people’ like a well-lit factory tour during a natural disaster..

@_SeanDavid Curious if you have any opinion or insight into the FTC inquiry at Mediaalpha?

Elon Musk: The larger government gets, the less freedom you have.

“The larger government gets, the less individual freedom you have. I think that's really the core thing.

Your freedoms have just been eroded year after year with more and more government, laws and regulations and regulatory authorities.

When I looked it up, there were apparently 428 federal agencies. What the hell do you need 428 agencies for? Why do you even need 100? This is crazy.

They're currently making new agencies at a rate of two per year. And every one of them is chipping away at your freedom.

So, it's essential for us to unwind that process and restore your personal freedom. And with that will come great prosperity and personal happiness, I believe.”

…”Yet to those unfamiliar with journalism and television production, the effect can be jarring.”

I think what is jarring to most people is that they literally changed her answer. They’re pretending this was normal editing for the sake of brevity, unbelievable level of gaslighting.

@BrianTycangco0 Which policies do you think will be most impactful for Chinese equities?

[Aaron Dues @dues_aaron]

@oguzerkan Thanks for the analysis on BABA! If BABA started growing revenue at 10% that would be a big catalyst for the stock, how do you think they get there?

[Aaron Dues @dues_aaron]

@BrianFeroldi Amen!

[Aaron Dues @dues_aaron]

@100xCompounding Thanks, I’ll look into these.

@jasondebolt I like the tip about tracking your 7-day average for weight as a way to stay on top of it, I usually realize something’s amiss when my pants stop fitting🥴
