@Investorlege Overrasket over at valuta ikke nevnes? NOK styrkelsen på ~11 % mot USD forklarer trolig mesteparten av “null avkastning” i en global portefølje i år. Med mindre du kun investerer på Oslo børs da?

@TheMG3D Genuine question, what specifically is ‘slop’ about this? There’s a clear concept, it fits the caption perfectly, and it looks great. Not everything made with AI is slop, just like not everything made by hand is good?

Running it on a dedicated Mac 24/7 for my investment company (~$10M AUM). Still in early testing phase, so double-checking everything it does for now, but the potential is insane. Trying my best to deal with the security concerns as well.

It has its own Gmail account and acts as a junior analyst I'm training up:
- Morning market briefings before US open with macro calendar, insider trading signals, and portfolio alerts
- Builds Excel valuation models on companies I'm researching and emails them to me
- Monitors commodity prices and flags asymmetric opportunities
- Summarizes earnings calls, Fed minutes, and financial reports
- Forwards and organizes receipts/invoices for the company accounting
- Tracks portfolio allocation drift and warns when I'm outside mandate

I travel a lot, so the killer feature is that I can text it "build me a DCF model on X company" from an airport lounge and have it waiting in my inbox when I land. It just keeps working while I'm unavailable. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s easy to see where things are going with better LLMs.

All running headless via iMessage. Early days but the future looks bright

@TedPillows This isn’t BlackRock dumping their own bags — it’s ETF flow. When investors redeem ETF shares, the issuer (via APs) has to sell the underlying BTC/ETH. It’s client flows, not BlackRock’s investment decision 🤦‍♂️

@MrGabrielsenAS Digg å se folk som tør å sette høye mål – det trenger vi flere av. Ser du holder til i Lugano?, vurderer selv å flytte dit, men sitter midlertidig fast i Norge på grunn av exitskatten... One day

@volsupply Spår i kaffegrut, justerer etter vinden, og kaller det makroanalyse. Klassisk…

[Ole Gark @egenaess]

That being said, I do agree that real monetary debasement is likely higher than CPI due to central bank money printing. But that’s exactly why asset prices—especially equities / crypto—rise faster than the debasement rate over time.

The system forces capital into assets, and liquidity injections fuel the cycle.

[Ole Gark @egenaess]

So now you’re citing CPI, which has averaged 3-4% in recent years, instead of the 12% annual ‘debasement’ you claimed earlier?

Even with CPI at 4%, stocks have outpaced inflation by a huge margin—S&P 500 is up 85% since 2020, Nasdaq has doubled. The 4% rule is based on real returns (inflation-adjusted) and still holds.

If someone can’t live off a $1.5M portfolio growing faster than inflation, the problem isn’t the math—it’s their spending habits.

[Ole Gark @egenaess]

You’re overlooking the fact that the $1.5M is still compounding. With a well-diversified portfolio, your capital continues to grow over time, even as you withdraw 4%. Historically, market returns have outpaced this withdrawal rate. $60k/year pre-tax is equivalent to many middle-class salaries. If you live in a low-cost area or geo-arbitrage, it’s more than enough to escape the 9-5 grind. And hey, you’re free to focus 100% of your time on whatever you want—whether that’s starting a business, investing smarter, or just enjoying life.

@FreyaMuller1 @lynk0x Bingo!

@PeterOl36567569 @cryptocevo Yes! The true definition of “escaping the matrix” traveling the world, doing what you want with your time, because your money is working for you! 💪
