While Bitcoin gets a lot of attention, it hasn’t played the safe-haven role many expected. In my view, there are a few reasons why.

First, Bitcoin lacks privacy. Transactions can be monitored and potentially controlled, which is why central banks aren’t looking to hold it.

Second, it also has a high correlation with tech stocks. When investors get squeezed in other areas of their portfolio, they sell their Bitcoin to cover it.

Third, it’s a relatively small and controllable market, whereas gold stands alone. There is only one gold.

Ultimately, gold is more widely held, deeply established, and still plays a central role in the global system.

Alex Karnal (@alex_karnal) is the most talented bio and healthcare investor I've ever met.

He's spent 20 years in the industry and says 2025 was the single most exciting year he's seen. The start of a once-in-a-lifetime, trillion-dollar revolution in public health.

He explains how few people realize we already have the medicines to prevent our deadliest diseases. The problem is that almost no one takes them.

There's a population of people born with a mutation that means their bodies don't produce a protein called PCSK9. Their lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease is 88% lower than yours. Pharma turned that genetic advantage into a drug. It's been approved for years, but the number of people taking it is still vanishingly small.

Partly because high cholesterol is a silent killer. You feel nothing, right up until you have a heart attack. And partly because the health system makes it punishingly hard to stay on a preventive drug like a PCSK9 inhibitor. In other words, the medicine works, but the system around it doesn't.

That's what's starting to change, and in this episode, Alex explains why.

We discuss the "health stack" he believes can add a decade to most lives, why oral GLP-1s are breaking every adoption record in pharma, peptides and citizen pharmacology, and what AI is doing to drug discovery.

I wish I had an "Alex" for every interesting topic. We've been having versions of this conversation for over five years, and every single one is as clear and as useful as this one.

Enjoy!

[Mark Minervini @markminervini]

The market's character is still one of a bear market or cyclical correction; strong open, fade into close and major average living below the 200-day line. Before a reliable bottom can be established, we need to see better price and volume action, including better action from breakout names forming bases.

We are clearly NOT out of the woods yet. The market backdrop is one where sentiment has improved with rising pessimism, but not a full capitulation. The VIX has reached bear warning levels, but remains below true washout extremes. A volatility washout is not required for a bottom, but would add conviction.

Bullish Scenario
--The war ends
--Oil prices recede
--Stagflation concerns ease
--Central banks continuing their easing trajectory

Under this scenario, we would expect:
-A broadening market advance
-Emergence of new leadership from sound bases
-A Follow-Through Day (FTD) on the NYSE and/or NASDAQ confirming institutional buying with little in the way of immediate distribution
-Significant drop in volatility

Bearish Scenario
--The war persists or escalates
--The Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted
--Oil prices make new highs
--Stagflation becomes evident in hard economic data

This would likely result in:
-Limited general market rally attempts with most breakout stocks failing
-Lack of follow-through from breakout names
-Further deterioration in breadth and leadership
-Dearth of setups in buyable position
-Continued elevated volatility and distribution
In that case, sentiment would likely need to reach higher levels of pessimism before a durable market bottom could form. In its absence, and end to the factors that are pressuring the market could cause the market to bottom in less dramatic fashion.

My favorite @perplexity_ai prompt I’ve made for traders.

Feel free to copy and use.

————————————————

Please analyze [TICKER] for me and provide the following, concise and clearly organized:

1. **Explain what the company does in like I'm 12 years old** - three short bullet points about what it does and any helpful relatable examples and analogies.

2. **Professional summary (max 10 sentences)** - industry, main products/services, primary competitors (list tickers), notable metrics or achievements, competitive advantage/moat, why they are unique and if they are a biotech provide if they have a commercial product or in clinical stages.

3. In a table, provide the follwoing:

* Any hot theme, narrative or story of the stock
* Any catalysts (earnings, news, macro)
* Any significant fundamentals (huge growth in earnings or revenues, moat, unique product or service, superior management, patents etc)

4. **Show all the main news/events for the last 3 months:** - Use a bullet-point table for: - Date (YYYY-MM-DD) - Event type (Earnings, Product Launch, Analyst Upgrade/Downgrade, etc.) - Short summary (max 1-2 sentences) - Direct source link - Mark any major price-moving events (surprise earnings, large guidance shift, top-tier analyst actions).

5. **Mention any recent insider buys/sells or institutional filings if visible.**

6. **Summarize how the stock is moving vs. main competitors and overall sector trend in past month (up/down).**

Overall, Focus on the reasons why the stock can make a big move in the future - earnings, sales, guidance, product launches, analyst upgrades/downgrades, insider buying especially from CEO/Founder and executive team, partnerships, and sector/news catalysts. I want to focus on stocks with catalysts and themes as catalysts are the cause of big moves in the stock market.

Finally, discuss and bring up any relevant previous perplexity queries and conversations.

[Julian Komar 🚨 Market Update Premium @BlogJulianKomar]

Here are my 4 most important @tradingview stock screeners that I use daily & weekly for FREE 👇

1) Best Winners Screener
This is my core screener. The strongest stocks. Real leaders. High momentum, strong relative strength, clean trends. These are the names that can become multi-week winners if the market allows it.
🔗 https://t.co/FfuBt33xQb

2) Daily Strong Screener
Pure market feedback. I run this daily to see where money flows today. It tells me if strength is expanding or drying up — without opinions, without noise.
🔗 https://t.co/nw0EOw0Rhd

3) Short Screener
Especially important in downtrends. Extended stocks losing momentum, weak reactions, failed highs. I don’t guess shorts — I prepare for them.
🔗 https://t.co/ji0wo3uDdz

4) Pre-Market Screener
Gap-ups, unusual volume, fresh catalysts. Not to chase — but to observe and prepare structured plans before emotions kick in.
🔗 https://t.co/NsSTH0o3qa

All of these screeners are free.
No secrets. No fancy tricks.

But here’s the truth:
A screener doesn’t give you an edge. Knowing how to read it does.

That’s why I walk my members through them again and again.
Dozens of videos. A full webinar. Live explanations. Real examples.

Screeners are tools.
Experience turns them into a weapon.

These patterns repeat.
I’ve taught this process to thousands.
You can learn it too.

$AMZN is a privately run economy hiding inside one ticker:

• AWS AI stack: Trainium, Inferentia, Graviton & Bedrock which is the AI leverage the market still underprices

• Advertising plumbing: Amazon DSP + retail media network tied directly to purchase data

• Logistics as a service: FBA, Buy with Prime, Amazon Freight becoming third-party commerce infrastructure

• Project Kuiper: satellite broadband as a long-duration optionality play alongside AWS

• Health + data: One Medical + pharmacy + Care AI (early innings but very Amazon-ish land grab

Amazing really is compute, commerce, logistics & data fused into one operating system.

There is no avoiding pain, especially if you're going after ambitious goals. Believe it or not, you are lucky to feel that kind of pain if you approach it correctly, because it is a signal that you need to find solutions so you can progress. If you can develop a reflexive reaction to psychic pain that causes you to reflect on it rather than avoid it, it will lead to your rapid learning/evolving. After seeing how much more effective it is to face the painful realities that are caused by your problems, mistakes, and weaknesses, I believe you won't want to operate any other way. It's just a matter of getting in the habit of doing it. #principleoftheday

Here are the 7 things you can't miss: 🧵

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

History shows us that having too much debt during an economic downturn leads to a classic, self-reinforcing cycle where:

1) The empire can no longer borrow the money to repay its debts
2) It prints a lot of new money, which devalues the currency and raises inflation
3) Living standards decline, leading to the rise of political extremism
4) Turbulent economic conditions undermine productivity and there is conflict about how to divide the shrinking resources
5) Populist leaders emerge pledging to take control and bring about order
