A few things, not that my zero readers care, but both my work life and personal life have been busy. That’s good and bad in many ways but my hard work over the years is starting to snowball.

Whether that’s in #realestate, the markets, or in my personal life. Read more...

I’ve been busy with work and life lately so I haven’t had a lot of time to write and trade. Yesterday I went long NVDA again because it made a new all-time high. NVDA earnings beat expectations all around and they raised guidance for the next quarter. Then they announced a 10:1 stock split. All signs keep pointing to this stock going higher.

The answer will be climate resilience as we enter a period of dystopia. A 1C increase in global temperature leads to a 12% decline in world gross domestic product (GDP), the researchers found, a far higher estimate than that of previous analyses. The world has already warmed by more than 1C (1. Read more...
