90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.
Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.
Peter Lynch said it in 1997 and it is still the most important thing most investors refuse to hear (Save this).
"The stock doesn't know you own it" and that is the whole rule, and almost no one actually lives by it.
You could be the most generous, kind, virtuous person who ever lived, if you owned Bethlehem Steel, you lost money for thirty years.
You could have 67 spouses and never done a single thing right in your life, if you owned Coca-Cola, your investment went up 300-fold.
The stock does not care about you, your intentions, your character or your conviction level.
The market has no memory of how much research you did before buying.
It does not reward your loyalty for holding through a rough patch, and it does not punish your indifference if you happen to own the right business.
It does not know your name, your cost basis, or how long you have held it and yet most people invest as if it does.
Lynch described this behavioral trap because people treat stocks like a grandchild or a puppy, as if the stock knows who they are and will eventually come back to reward them for their patience.
That emotional attachment is precisely what destroys portfolios over time because it turns every investment decision into a referendum on the investor's identity rather than an honest assessment of the underlying business.
Pete Hegseth in Normandy today:
“Sadly, today different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. In Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive.
When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late?”
Comparing a pool that is horizontal to skyscrapers that are vertical is peak insanity.
Why are Republicans allowing this demented clown to embarrass your country like this?
I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

All in one day. This man is not well. Impeachment and removal NOW.
American soldiers die in Trump's war, not a word from Donald. Gas and food prices skyrocket, not a word from Donald. People demand the Epstein files, not a word from Donald. But the minute you take his fat name off a building, Donald writes Mein Kampf for Morons.
I read all 277 pages of SpaceX's IPO filing so you don't have to.
Losses up 700%. Revenue decelerating. 107x price-to-sales multiple.
It's a trainwreck. Full breakdown below 👇
Nobelprijswinnaar Krugman noemt Trump de meest openlijke corrupte leider. "We weten dat Putin zich met miljarden heeft verrijkt, dat haalde hij niet direct uit de schatkist. Er was altijd verhulling. Zelfs dictators uit derdewereldlanden proberen hun diefstal te verdoezelen."
Ukraine will manufacture 7 million drones this year. That is just the beginning.
General David Petraeus lays out what comes next: with enough pilots, Ukraine will be capable of launching 20,000 drones per day. Within a year or two, autonomous unmanned systems will enter the battlefield. After that, autonomous drone swarms -- and for those, he says, we currently have no countermeasure.
This is not a forecast from a think tank. This is a four-star general describing a weapons revolution happening in real time.
