Ted Weschler grew his IRA at a 41% CAGR for 22 years.

He turned $70,000 into $131,000,000.

Then he ran a hedge fund that compounded at a 22% CAGR while the market earned 0%.

Here's a case study on Weschler, and how he bought a dying business that would 10x in 6 years…

Very interesting.

Good questions from very well-informed and savvy Japanese reporter 👍👍

LOL! This woman in Iran is losing her shit because she is seeing brave Iranian women who refuse to cover up with the hijab.

Iranians are reclaiming Iran, and there’s nothing these occupiers can do about it

Latest confirmed oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz continues to climb steadily, with most of virtually all of the gains coming from those Gulf of Oman ship-to-ship transfers fed by the Hormuz "shuttle" trade.

Still well below prewar (>20 MMbpd) and late-June peak (~15 MMbpd)

For the first time in history a U.S. president had his bank accounts shut down for suspected money laundering, and it’s not even a story.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

If someone made this exact same statement -- but replaced "Muslim" with "Jew" -- their career would not only be instantly and permanently destroyed, but their families, banks, communities and employers would be relentlessly hounded until they were denounced, disowned and banned.

Ok, what's the read on wtf is going on with Saudi Red Sea flows??

Confirmable Saudi Bab el-Mandeb (BEM) transits have cratered to prewar levels.

Confirmable Yanbu loadings have ~halved

Saudi shipments north (Suez/SUMED) are up but not nearly enough to make up the BEM declines

To this day, I cannot understand how the world watched this scene without being moved!!

More than 500 people disappeared after this strike in Gaza City, as if they were erased from existence in a single moment.

History will never forget what we lived through here.

Tents. Israel is bombing tents.

Tents.

BREAKING: UAE state-owned oil company ADNOC says 3 of its vessels have been directly struck by Iran with missiles and drones this week while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, adding that 15 vessels total have been struck since the war began.

UKMTO has not issued a single report on the 3 incidents so that it doesn't impact the market.

The attacks have resulted in 1 fatality and 20 injuries to crew members.

[ChrisO_wiki @ChrisO_wiki]

It's also worth noting that this would make Iran the third richest country in the Gulf region after the UAE, with a nearly equivalent level of GDP. Much of this increase will likely go into a weapons-buying spree, which I expect China will be eager to supply. In short, Trump has likely ensured that Iran will have the most powerful military in the Gulf within 5-10 years.

[Hichkas @HichkasOfficial]

Yes, Arm The Iranian People.

Through Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.

What @tedcruz misses is that the only option who has the Iranians' support, & is not anti-American is Pahlavi.

MEK has no public support & is an Islamist-Marxist cult with American blood on its hands.

BREAKING: Chinese intelligence believes Israel's Mossad may be behind the Ceuta migrant crisis in Spain, aiming to punish Spain over its opposition to the Iran war and refusal to allow the use of Spanish bases for US military aircraft, per El Mundo.

Chinese intelligence analysis centers concluded that the deterioration of Spain-Israel relations motivated Mossad to infiltrate agents into the migration crisis between Morocco and Spain to foment discontent and chaos, with Colombian President Petro also directly accusing Netanyahu of being ultimately responsible.

Saudi Arabia used about 86% of its stockpiled 2,800 Patriot PAC-3 interceptors in the first 38 days of combat in the Iran War - Reuters/CSIS

After firing roughly 2,400 PAC-3s, the country was reportedly left with only 400 interceptors by April.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran has just struck another vessel in the US-backed southern corridor of the Strait of Hormuz, with the vessel now on fire, likely an oil tanker attempting to cross under US escort given an ADNOC oil spill response vessel now operating in the area, per NASA FIRMS satellite imagery.

Around 25-40 US fighter jets and several E-3G and E-2D AWACS aircraft were actively escorting the vessel during transit, yet it was still not enough for successful passage.

I'm doing 15 earnings calls in 2 days, either live or via transcripts when calls overlap. I am *so* glad I'm only 2 hours away from being done with these questions:

Operator: Your next question come from [Senior Analyst] with B. Riley Securities.
Q: Hi, this is [Junior Analyst], on for [Senior Analyst]. Congratulations on the great quarter and [minor detail #4 that you led with in your prepared remarks.] Most of my questions have already been answered, but I have 2 more. First, I know you're not going to give guidance on your 2027 general and administrative expenses, but could you tell me what your 2027 general administrative expenses are going to be?
A: Thank you for the question, Junior Analyst, that's a *great* question. We aren't going to give guidance on 2027 general and administrative expenses, but let me just say that we will very prudently watch our costs, try to counter the inflation we're all feeling, while also still prudently investing for growth.
Q: Thank you, that's very helpful, and congratulations again.
