@MarkYusko It’s fairly clear how Goldman was able to win the lead underwriter role.

@findmyke @patrick_oshag There is a way to do this but also do what he is saying. We love and support you and always have your back but for your own good we want you to manage your own life and learn things on your own.

[Joe Mack @joemacktrustee]

@hereisramji @patrick_oshag Agreed, it’s frustrating going to a sporting event and watching a kid make a mistake and then always looking at their parents in the stands.

[Joe Mack @joemacktrustee]

Sometimes my wife and kids get frustrated with me but they usually know the words coming out of my mouth are going to be “figure it out” or “do it yourself”.

As a father of two young kids, I keep thinking about this from Dara:

"I think we're doing our kids a disservice by giving them too much, being around too much.

You want to love your kids, you want to know that they're absolutely loved and appreciated.

But it's the challenges in life that form you, and it's the overcoming of these challenges that give humans a profound satisfaction.

If you as a parent are overcoming these challenges for your kids, you're actually doing them a disservice long-term, whereas short-term you think you're doing them a favor.

They've got to learn how to make it in this world themselves.

A happy life is not necessarily an easy life."

@patrick_oshag Totally agree. As much as I can, I say do it yourself. I will always help so my kids know I love and support them but whenever they are working on something for the first time I tell them to figure it out and try before asking for help.

@HarryStebbings Talked to an AI consultant the other day. He said he low coded 3 different Clio clones for large law firms with msft power apps.The best part is that its very secure with microsft enterpise security and it's only accessable to employees of the companies through office 365 logins.

[Joe Mack @joemacktrustee]

@BillAckman @patientinvestor Love the trade. Google is going to burn cash spending on AI and Microsoft is setup
to wrap models with copilot and provide secure infrastructure to large enterprises and it’s tools will help those companies build and replace the SAAS products they currently use.

@KimWah70 @newstart_2024 If gorillas are herbivores, I definitely don’t think we were designed to eat a carnivore diet. We were designed to eat the food available in the area we live during the time it’s in season. Gut Check by Steven Gundry goes in depth in this area.

[Joe Mack @joemacktrustee]

@KimWah70 @newstart_2024 Yep, your body needs diversity. Plenty of foods are unhealthy if you just eat that one thing but your gut needs diversity for proper gut microbiome. A variety of Healthy unprocessed food based on standard daily calorie suggestions is the way to go.

[Joe Mack @joemacktrustee]

@newstart_2024 Our bodies are not meant to eat one thing for breakfast and a protein is always going to beat a starch but if you only eat protein for the long run your gut and intestines are not going to process your food correctly and something like oatmeal can help process that food properly

2/your heirs will thank you because when you pass away with large IRAs, your beneficiaries only have 10 years to stretch the taxable accounts. That may mean a very high income tax bracket for them.

[Joe Mack @joemacktrustee]

1/The future is tough to predict but if you think you are going to save millions in a taxable account, at least put half in a Roth IRA to create flexibility. Yes, this means more taxes in the short run, but besides what is written below…

Mike retired at 54 with $ 4.1M.

He had done everything “right”:

• Maxed out his 401(k)
• Saved consistently for 30+ years
• Paid off his home
• Avoided debt

@RayDalio @notsofast Let’s see Dalio and Tudor Jones debate this

[SheTrades @SheTrades_08]

“Bitcoin is unequivocally the best inflation hedge that there is more than gold.” 🚨

That’s not coming from a crypto influencer.

That’s billionaire macro investor Paul Tudor Jones, the legendary hedge fund manager who famously predicted the 1987 market crash.

In a interview, Jones argued that Bitcoin’s biggest advantage over gold is simple:

Gold supply keeps growing every year through mining
Bitcoin has a hard cap of 21 million coins
No central bank can print more $BTC

He says that fixed scarcity makes Bitcoin the strongest protection against long-term currency debasement and inflation.

Paul Tudor Jones was one of the first Wall Street billionaires to publicly buy Bitcoin back in 2020 during the massive money-printing era after COVID.

Now in 2026, he’s doubling down again while:
▫️ global debt sits near record highs
▫️ governments continue running massive deficits
▫️ central banks are under pressure to cut rates
▫️ geopolitical tensions are pushing investors toward hard assets

Institutional adoption is accelerating ETFs are pulling in billions, companies are adding Bitcoin, and tokenized finance is expanding globally.

Jones also warned that traditional equities may deliver weak returns over the next decade due to extreme valuations and rising debt pressures.

Wall Street once called Bitcoin “worthless.”

Now some of the biggest macro investors in the world are calling it digital gold, or even better than gold. 🔥

@HunterR79161 @Gabepluguez Yea if you take them forever but no one knows long term side effects. Many people go off ozempic ans gain the weight right back.

[Goshawk Trades @GoshawkTrades]

Ken Griffin on the single factor he looks for when hiring at Citadel:

"show me an athlete who did well academically."

"an athlete because they know what it takes to win and they've had to experience loss."

talent is everywhere. what's rare is someone who knows how to lose, recover, and still perform at a high level.

same thing separates profitable traders from everyone else.

[Joe Mack @joemacktrustee]

@yonann I wonder if this guy has ever been audited and if he hasn’t you can bet he will stop these videos when he does get audited. It’s fairly easy to fail an audit on trying to utilize these types of write offs and it makes you a target opening up the rest of your tax history.

[Joe Mack @joemacktrustee]

@APompliano Admitting that he would sell at some point actually makes what he is doing more viable.

[Joe Mack @joemacktrustee]

@SPsquirtle @ProjectGokuu Depends on what that animal has been eating and its environment. Not all animals fat is created equal.
