Happy Valentine’s Day! Let’s all find a way to find some love during these dark times.

The 2-party system is showing structural strain, and cannot represent a broad, diverse country. I’ve never felt that either major party truly represents what I want.

As the system continues to weaken, this may be an inflection point for new political movements or parties to emerge.

Extreme wealth inequality feels like it keeps accelerating. Those at the top have been accumulating more and more since the beginning of time. When is enough enough as they say. Unfortunately, something something too big to fail.

Took a break from Bluesky and almost felt like a vacation. Is that called being a responsible social media user is all about?

Might have to start doing this every quarter.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ahh the ol'e shake out. Sheesh I would have printed bigly if i held.

I was shocked to see this headline this morning. I really shouldn’t be surprised given where we are.

Ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon arrested on charges connected to Minnesota church protest Lemon’s lawyer said he was taken into custody after attending protest in which demonstrators disrupted a church service earlier in January

The arrest of Don Lemon is yet another alarming attack by the Trump administration on Americans’ First Amendment rights.

I'm putting my money where my mouth is and opened a speculative short. Would love to see gold hit 6k next though.

💸 Fiscal credibility is deteriorating.

📉 Future real rates are expected to fall

🌍 Geopolitical settlement risk is higher

Is all this really happening in your opinion?

Another great day in Yarra Valley

Australia Open was fun!

First time in Sydney! Taking any recs for Australia.

Friendly reminder to ensure CalSavers payroll deductions are set up for all applicable employees before the first payroll of 2026 to remain compliant.

So sad. Dems are more focused on markets tbh

The last 2 years have brought me my second and third best returns in my young trading journey. Here’s to more wealth and prosperity for all! I CAN’T wait. Cheers! Love you all!!

Happy New Year! Got to play in the rain today before a small get together!

It's about time we get same day settlement. I just ordered a ton of stuff from amazon this morning and received in just a couple hours.

Can you believe FED cut after this hot GDP print?

Gold has surged back to all-time highs above ~$4,400 per ounce, up roughly 60–70% in 2025. Its strongest yearly performance in over four decades. Clearly, everyone wants in after questionable fiscal and monetary policy.

It’s been a great year despite everything going on, and this is the earliest I’ve ever wrapped my presents!

This will be a FOMC I wont forget. Clearly we have a couple intelligent FED officials. Lmao.

Shot a 94 at Escena and 104 at taquitz this weekend in Palm Springs. Not my best but also usually don’t play impaired. Already want to go back!

Yesterday was unforgettable! I played the best round of golf I’ve ever had—hitting two birdies and breaking 90 for the first time in just my first year of play.

Maybe in my second year, I can aim to break 80?

Despite higher insurance premiums, bigger tax cuts for the wealthy, and wages that haven’t kept up, I’m still grateful for what we do have: each other. Wishing everyone a warm and restful holiday season.

Crazy how we went from "taxing the rich" to giving the rich tax cuts. Make it make sense.
