@bholination These paper leaks are systemic issues. We've seen this govt's lack of apathy towards citizens during wrestlers protest too. Only with farmers protests when it was matter of votes, did the govt apologized and retraced it's steps.

[Nishanth Nellutla @nnellutla]

@aravind Why not let Dharmendra Pradhan resign? Isn't paper leaks anti India? Don't try to get agenda into everything. Some issues are plain simple facts! This govt lacks apathy towards its citizens to even acknowledge massive policy failures and you call any protest anti India. lol !!!

[Sammy @sammy_capital]

When one young Chicago trader first heard people were making $50,000 to $100,000 in a day

He told himself he would quit the moment he ever made that kind of money.

Then he had his first five-figure day.

He was back in the pit the next morning.

“After a while, the money becomes just a way of keeping score.”

By the late 1980s, a seat on the exchange could cost more than $300,000, and the trading floors were said to hold more millionaires per square inch than anywhere else on earth.

But the footage shows what that money did to people.

Traders carried live quote machines on dates, practiced screaming so they could be heard above the crowd, wore the same clothes after winning days, and came back even after they had already made enough to leave.

The technology looks ancient now.

The psychology does not.

This rare documentary captures the exact moment trading stops being about money and turns into identity, competition, and addiction to the game.

Bookmark it and watch as a lesson from the past

Especially now that markets are once again rewarding speed, hype, and risk-taking.

Launching This Month👇

[Thierry from arvy 🇨🇭 @ThierryBorgeat]

🚨 We may be looking at the rarest market setup in 50 years.

The S&P 500's four historic drawdowns since 1972:
– 1973 Inflation: -43%
– 1987 Liquidity: -30%
– 2000 Tech: -47%
– 2008 Credit: -55%

Each one was driven by ONE dominant risk.

Right now, all four are present at the same time.

1. INFLATION
A commodity supercycle. Energy, metals, agriculture all in multi-year base breakouts. The Fed's preferred inflation gauge has been above 2% for 18 of the last 24 months.

2. LIQUIDITY
The largest equity supply shock since 2000. SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic raising ~$275B combined. Google flipping from $60B/year buybacks to $80B net issuance. Over $1 trillion of IPO and lockup supply hitting the Russell 3000 in 2026.

3. TECH
Semiconductors trading 73% above their 200-day moving average – the largest stretch since March 2000. Climax run signals across the AI complex. Micron, Palantir, SMCI, the SOX index, all showing the textbook O'Neil sell pattern.

4. CREDIT
Apollo, KKR, BlackRock, Blue Owl, Cliffwater, Partners Group – all gating redemptions on their evergreen funds in the last 90 days. The private credit machine is freezing in real time.

Never in 50 years have all four risks been simultaneously present.

But here's the part nobody talks about

While the AI Big 10 has gone vertical, quality stocks have been left for dead.

– Berkshire Hathaway: trailing the S&P 500 by hundreds of basis points
– Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Pepsi: trading at multi-year relative lows
– HEICO, Union Pacific, MSCI: making boring new highs while everyone watches Nvidia
– Healthcare vs. S&P 500: 25-year relative low

The last time this happened?

December 1999. Barron's ran a cover titled "What's Wrong, Warren?" – mocking Buffett for being a dinosaur, for missing the internet, for refusing to pay for growth at any price.

Berkshire was down 19% in 1999 while the Nasdaq was up 85%.

What followed:
– Berkshire +29% over the next 24 months
– Nasdaq -78% over the next 30 months

The setup today

Four historic risks stacked simultaneously, while the boring, durable, cash-flowing businesses that always survive these regimes have been treated like dead money for years.

The math doesn't get more asymmetric than this.

Quality stocks aren't out of style.

They're being orphaned.

That's when generational positions are built.

The boring stuff hasn't worked for a long time.

History suggests that's exactly the moment it starts to.

@MarciSilfrain Unfortunately, nope 😔

[Nishanth Nellutla @nnellutla]

@KobeissiLetter Does this mean Chinese consumption is slowing or are they bridging the gap with local supplies?
