@RonFilipkowski Prophetic.

@lookner You're just promoting propaganda, Steve.

@TraderLion A great quote well worth repeating. GOAT.

@OverboughtWatch Same.

@tahaabb62883980 @DeItaone Exactly! "Just give me a minute to exit my failing long positions." "Oh, and help out Elon with his IPO."

[Lorraine Kish @lorrainekish44]

@Osinttechnical Sure.

[Lorraine Kish @lorrainekish44]

Great observation.

Don’t forget when Rome was collapsing emperors would use Gladiator fights to distract the people from the Corruption of the State at that time! This is all starting to make sense now. Who agrees?

[Lorraine Kish @lorrainekish44]

@AgendaFreeTV You did me the biggest favor by timing me out. (For asking Steve to "Please stop yelling", because Trump just posted to Truth Social.) I decided to join the living and go for a hike. It turned out to be a spectacular day. Now I have to say... Agenda Free, I'm finished with you.

One of the top 2 books on trading and you know the other one.

You’ve probably heard me say it before: Most professional money managers give terrible advice to individual investors. Well, here’s more proof.

Ken Griffin recently said in an interview:
“No. 1 is diversification. It’s very important to understand that your likelihood of beating the pros as a novice investor is low. It’d be like asking me to go out there and play football on an NFL team.”

Nothing could be further from the truth!

Let’s be clear: diversification is not a strategy—it’s a crutch. It’s what you fall back on when you lack the skill, ability or discipline to manage risk precisely. It’s a hedge against ignorance.

But here’s the kicker: being small isn’t the disadvantage—it’s the edge. The problem isn’t that individual investors can’t beat the pros. The problem is that they imitate them. They adopt the same bloated, rigid, over-diversified tactics that cripple institutional portfolios.

Griffin praises size and teams of analysts (that slow down decision making) as advantages, but it’s actually their Achilles’ heel. The majority of these so-called pros can’t even beat the $SPY—because their sheer size restricts agility and concentration.

The real failure? Weak investment criteria. And promoting diversification as the No. 1 principle? Absurd.

If you’re serious about outperformance, stop listening to advice designed for capital constraints you don’t have. You’re not managing billions—you can move faster, get in early, cut quickly, and scale aggressively. That’s your advantage.

I discuss this topic in detail in my book Trade Like a Stock Market Wizard.

Pete Hegseth (2016) on Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server:

“Any security professional, military, government or otherwise, would be fired on the spot…and criminally prosecuted for being so reckless with this kind of information.”

[Lorraine Kish @lorrainekish44]

@markminervini Yummmm!

[Lorraine Kish @lorrainekish44]

Getting a little traction. I have finally managed to not watch the indeces while trading. Very helpful, thanks Markie. 👍

[Mark Ritchie II @MarkRitchie_II]

Process, process &...wait for it...process.

Ok here is where my process has me looking very closely/intently to be dipping some toes and watching for some kind of confirmation.
Opinions & emotions don't pay, a disciplined process does. If you are watching closely here and have studied other lows/bottoms this is where you should be watching for some accumulation to come into this market and if you haven't taken some exposure you look to. I would love to see the market continue to consolidate but then see if we can get a valid accumulation type day of this pullback.

Study the 2020 low, 2018 or others as an example but while everyone is talking about restests, trade wars, gold, Orange man bad, and blah blah be ready to act. It often takes a few tries even and some jockeying...doesn't matter as that's part of it for me.

The best indicator you are doing it right is when everyone is skeptical/negative or not paying attention to what you are. Process should insulate you from the noise & opinions/feelings (even your own) as you simply follow your rules.

[Lorraine Kish @lorrainekish44]

@dennisc230 @EndTribalism Agree, yet nobody wants to see the obvious.

[Lorraine Kish @lorrainekish44]

Great observation!

[Marty Chargin @MartyChargin]

$AAPL ... Apple on the 5 minute chart was the "tell" on Friday... someone always knows... dips bought all day long....

[Lorraine Kish @lorrainekish44]

@markminervini Definitely don't watch Cramer.

[Mark Minervini @markminervini]

Based on the feedback I'm hearing, it seems traders are more fearful of missing a great buying opportunity than they are of volatility and more downside risk. Amateurs are concerned with missing out on the upside; they focus on the money, and they hate to take losses or sell too early. Pros focus on managing risk, implementing process, and maintaining the discipline needed to consistently execute their plan... knowing that if they get those right, the money takes care of itself.
