One day I will be off all these medications. No one is believing me.

But I believe, one day, this will happen.

27.

Two less and we will get into the extreme fear territory, and I will start rebalancing.

[🌵 @rock3m]

34, fear!! Closer

[🌵 @rock3m]

Happiness also comes from NOT SHORTING. 😅😅😅

[Cassandra Unchained @michaeljburry]

I have found the key to happiness is gratitude. The thankful are by nature humbled by the grace of others and cognizant of the miracles that surround us every single day.

Just one day after the tickets started to sell, the Ghibli Museum tickets have sold out 😭😭😭

[🌵 @rock3m]

Every lunch, surrounded by all the great food in Barcelona, my stomach is oversubscribed. But I always make sure my banana peanut butter sandwich gets the allocation. 🤣🤣🤣

[🌵 @rock3m]

After reading about travel experiences in India, I conclude the only reasonable way to travel there is for work, not pleasure.

I no longer work, so I need a MORE compelling reason to travel there given my current health condition!

[🌵 @rock3m]

34, fear!! Closer

[🌵 @rock3m]

44, fear, finally.

I'm waiting for my quarterly rebalancing at 25.

Calories counting is such a scam in health.

[Alex Nguyen @alexcooldev]

I know exactly why Apple picked Vietnamese pho for the demo. If their AI can estimate calories in a bowl of pho, it can probably estimate calories in anything. 😂

Not only that, H Pylori has a mimicry nature which caused my immune system attack my own platelets.

The fucking bacteria.

[World of Statistics @stats_feed]

Helicobacter pylori is the only bacterium known to cause cancer. It is responsible for an estimated 89% of all gastric cancers and is linked to the development of 5.5% of all cases cancers worldwide.

Our Airbnb in Barcelona is in an ancient building without soundproofing. Someone’s iPhone seems to have been left behind, and its alarm has been going non-stop.

At that moment, I realized the unnecessity of alarm clocks and how bad the software logic of the alarm app is!!!!

[🌵 @rock3m]

Alarm clocks should not exist. God already put a clock inside our bodies, and bird chirps and sunlight are external clocks.

[🌵 @rock3m]

Menus with AI photos are just cheap. That's the first red flag not to enter those restaurants.

AI menus just mean either your food looks bad or you can’t afford a food photographer (meaning the business is bad).

[🌵 @rock3m]

Overheard in a bookstore in Barcelona with an American accent:

“Have you read this book (a novel)? It starts with a conservative mother... things changed... it was a good ending.”

😅😅😅

I love Ryan Cohen even more.

Imagine being such a big troll that you buy almost the exact same number of shares the people you’re trolling sold since you started buying 😂 $GME

[🌵 @rock3m]

44, fear, finally.

I'm waiting for my quarterly rebalancing at 25.

[🌵 @rock3m]

Interesting observation:

Each quarter, the US market can go from extreme fear to extreme greed once.

[🌵 @rock3m]

I just paid my daughter her share of my app profits for our collab.

Now I call her a “Crazy Rich Asian” 🤣🤣🤣

[🌵 @rock3m]

Not gonna buy any of the IPOs.

All the billionaires are dumping their bags.

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Wow, the S&P Dow Jones Indices has just officially announced that they will NOT be changing their inclusion rules to make it easier for “MegaCap” companies (such as @SpaceX) to be fast-tracked into the S&P 500.

Their reasoning:
"S&P DJI determined that exceptions to the financial viability, seasoning, and IWF requirements should not be granted solely based on market capitalization. The decision not to adopt the proposed exceptions preserves core index principles by maintaining consistent application of these key requirements. Although there may be trade-offs between strict adherence to these eligibility requirements and broad representativeness, the current methodology provides substantial market coverage and sector balance. As a result, the indices can continue to meet their stated objectives while preserving their role as representative and investable benchmarks for the U.S. equity market.

No changes will be made to the eligibility criteria including financial viability screens, seasoning period, or minimum IWF, for the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400, or S&P SmallCap 600 as a result of the S&P Dow Jones Indices consultation on the treatment of MegaCap companies. Accordingly, there will be no changes to existing methodology for this index family."

This means that the earliest @SpaceX could be eligible to be added to the S&P 500 would now be June 2027.

The requirements that will now remain in place are:
• No changes to S&P 500 eligibility rules for mega-cap companies.
• Mega-cap companies will still need to wait 12 months after their IPO before being considered for S&P 500 inclusion.
• S&P will not waive profitability requirements for mega-cap companies. The company must have positive GAAP net income in the most recent quarter, and the sum of the most recent four consecutive quarters.
• S&P will not waive minimum public float requirements for mega-cap companies. At least 10% of a company's shares must be publicly tradable ("free float").

The S&P rejected proposals that would have:
• Reduced the IPO seasoning period from 12 months to 6 months
• Waived profitability requirements
• Waived minimum public float requirements

S&P 500 is up 9 days in a row and 9 weeks in a row.

One of the strongest, most unrelenting rallies in history.

[🌵 @rock3m]

Be the dealer, not the player.

[🌵 @rock3m]

I realized that capitalism is just making money by taking advantage of the bad traits of human beings:

- greed
- desire to own things
- taking pride in doing more than God’s creation

This is a loophole: reject these bad traits in your life and monetize them.

[🌵 @rock3m]

I'm at the mercy of my bone marrow producing more platelets and faster than my body destroys them.

[🌵 @rock3m]

3rd day of the cycle, the day I may expect heavy bleeding.

I'm out of the country w/ no doctor care and haven't had a blood draw due to an unexpected early cycle. Need to see how this day ends.

[🌵 @rock3m]

This time before I left US, I even imagined I could die from bleeding on this trip, but I forbid myself from living in fear.

Life is short and fragile. Any new day is God given.
