So over Bitcoin, just sold the last of my remaining allocation���hard to see what brings the asset class back to life

[Leveraged Alphα @Leveraged_Alpha]

@Invest_Brandon That’s why getting a mortgage on your personal home and putting mortgage proceeds in a brokerage account to take advantage of full interest tax deductibility is the move!

Gotta have a nice house for the family 😎

@TaxAlphaInsider loved your recent conversation with the Animal Spirits guys

Curious if you are also tracking / developing a pov on stuff like CAGE and CAIE ETFs from Calamos?

[Leveraged Alphα @Leveraged_Alpha]

Strongly considering allocating some funds to the new Calamos auto callable ETF product(s)

Anyone have a strong view or good research that I should read?

If you're a founder running an on-chain native startup or an entrepreneur with a small business that accepts stablecoins, part of your treasury reserve probably already includes @USDC.

When you need to move a portion of those digital dollar reserves into fiat cash, the flow of funds can cumbersome and time consuming — move $USDC to an exchange, sell, and wait potentially multiple business days for the bank transfer.

With stablecoin support now live on @galaxyoneapp, business owners & operators will be able to transfer $USDC from any external wallet on @Ethereum or @Solana into their GalaxyOne Crypto account powered by @paxos and auto-swap for cash. Funds are instantly available in your account after blockchain confirmation.

Ready when you need it for on-chain activities, swap back to $USDC anytime with no platform conversion fees.

Bitcoin getting some legs again??

Owning is only way to get a nice place and have peace of mind.

Best is use an I/O mortgage > invest the proceeds in a diversified portfolio > take advantage of the investment interest expense and deduct the cost of the mortgage interest against investment income and capital gains!

Powell's last FOMC is tomorrow.

10Y sits at 4.32%. Fed funds stays put. Warsh takes the chair in May.

For a 30-year-old high earner, none of this changes the math: you are net short fiat for the next four decades. Your liabilities are nominal. Your equity, your real estate, your gold, your BTC are not.

Be the borrower, not the lender.

$GLXY First data hauls delivered to $CRWV and digital assets business steady despite a market wide price decline in the quarter, plus some green shoots with GalaxyOne.

Also buying back shares but haven't purchased the full 200M authorized buyback yet..solid

@InvestingAddict Wrong question.

The right one: does she understand why you hold VOO and not QQQ? That's the compatibility test.

Shared financial philosophy > shared portfolio size. You can always split the bill. You can't split a 40-year disagreement about risk.

[Leveraged Alphα @Leveraged_Alpha]

The Bessembinder data is even more brutal: since 1926, just ~4% of US stocks accounted for the entire net wealth creation of the market above T-bills. The rest collectively broke even or lost money.

Stock-picking isn't a skill issue. It's a distributional problem. The index captures the winners automatically.

[Leveraged Alphα @Leveraged_Alpha]

This is 15 years overdue.

US equities are ~65% of global market cap. Most US portfolios are 95%+ US.

That's not home bias, that's structural overweight. A globally diversified equity sleeve is the baseline, not a tactical rotation.

Rotations look extreme because the starting point was extreme.

[Leveraged Alphα @Leveraged_Alpha]

@RyanDetrick @sonusvarghese Sentiment surveys ask people how they feel. Retail sales show what they do.

The gap isn't a warning — it's the mechanism. Consumer sentiment is a reliable contra-indicator at extremes.

Data-adjusted investor intuition is almost always backwards.

[Leveraged Alphα @Leveraged_Alpha]

The underappreciated corollary: this only works if you're sized to actually hold through a -49% year without selling.

Portfolio construction is how you make that possible — not willpower.

"Don't sell at the bottom" is advice. A properly diversified, correctly sized portfolio is a system.

[Leveraged Alphα @Leveraged_Alpha]

"But you're not building equity!"

Yes, you are. Just not in an illiquid, concentrated, single-asset position. You're building it in a liquid, diversified portfolio that can actually fund your life if something goes sideways.

Being "debt-free" on cheap, fixed-rate, tax-advantaged debt is a status symbol, not a strategy.

[Leveraged Alphα @Leveraged_Alpha]

Unpopular take: paying off your mortgage early is one of the worst financial moves a high earner can make.

The math is brutal:
- Mortgage rate: ~6.5% (tax-deductible, so effective ~5%)
- Equities long-run: ~10% nominal
- Spread: ~500 bps/yr on the entire balance

That's hundreds of thousands of forgone compounding on a typical HNW mortgage.

[Leveraged Alphα @Leveraged_Alpha]

Interest-only takes this further: zero amortization = maximum capital deployed in your portfolio = maximum compounding.

This is how private equity, real estate GPs, and sophisticated family offices have structured debt for decades.

Consumer finance just convinced middle-class America that aggressively paying down cheap, tax-advantaged debt was "responsible."

[Leveraged Alphα @Leveraged_Alpha]

This isn't radical.

It's what sophisticated allocators — endowments, family offices, the people who actually compound capital — have been doing for 20 years.

The retail wrapper just hasn't caught up yet.

[Leveraged Alphα @Leveraged_Alpha]

The 60/40 portfolio is a Boomer artifact.

Built for a world with:
- Positive real bond yields
- Stock/bond correlation ~-0.3
- No sovereign debasement trade

None of that is true in 2026.

A better frame for a sophisticated investor 👇

[Leveraged Alphα @Leveraged_Alpha]

Cash/T-bills (optionality): 10-15%
Dry powder, not "safety."

No bonds. Duration risk is uncompensated in a fiscally dominated regime.

Then apply ~1.2-1.5x leverage at the portfolio level — because the risk-adjusted return of the diversified mix is higher than 100% equities alone.
