@breakoutprop @Dizzie_X are you still in the market?

[IamMas @mispy101]

I've been experimenting with a @breakoutprop account since crypto is attempting a comeback. The tricky bit with crypto is it only shows volatility a few months out of the year, so if I can't pass it relatively quickly the account will end up being a drain.

A lot hanging on whether $BTC can close green today--if it were to flip red, the weekly will get an ugly wick. But so far so good.

The middle is losing all ground in Germany. I hope it will not become a country divided like America, where neither side can communicate with the other.

One way or another, recent election results flag the serious failures of the current government to meet the needs of the people. I hope Germany can turn this around.

I had a Prof. who used to say that being poor at Notre Dame was driving a Honda. I like to joke that being rich in #Bonn is owning chickens.*

A friend was asking for investment advice, and while I'll suggest a bit of diversification, MAG7 still remains a safe bet, I think; they look ready to outperform again as long as markets can close green after this week of bad news.

Sometimes you don't need to over-think it so long as you've got some hedge and/or an exit plan. $MAGS

As a kid we spent our summers near a farm. A few days ago I had a dream about the farm dog George, who would often visit us. Today my father happened to send me this picture. I never had a dog of my own, but at least I had this sweet friend.

Canada is taking a lot of global initiative lately, it is a welcome change from looking to the USA or China for support.

#NEWS The UK government is considering joining the Canada-led Defence, Security and Resilience Bank (DSRB), which is designed to offer governments cheaper financing for defence spending, BBC reports.

Chancellor John Healey is reviewing the proposal after his predecessor, Rachel Reeves, previously rejected the idea.

No sign that China is making any real effort to address Europe's trade concerns proactively in the July euro area trade data. Deficit keeps growing ...

Euro area imports heading to EUR 500b, exports stuck under EUR 200b

Did you know?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the #GospelOfTheDay (cf. Mt 18:21-35) Jesus reminds us that gift and forgiveness are the foundation of our existence. All things are given to us by God out of pure love, and none of us can claim to be perfect in responding to such goodness. For this reason, gratuitousness — which is the source of our existence — is also the best rule for our life together.

The world seems in turmoil--all the Germans can talk about is the Afd and what it harbours, on X it is endless talk of war.

But it has been such a beautiful fall. I am grateful to live in a time and place of peace. Who knows what tomorrow brings.
