REMEMBER: There are two actions an #investor can take today: BUY or HOLD. You don’t have to buy, but any selling should have happened weeks ago. Never, EVER sell into a panic. #investing $SPX $IXIC $BTC #gold #EVERYTHING

Bitcoin just broke through $76K, but don’t worry, I’m sure the permabulls are right and we’ll be at $95K in just a few days… 🙄

You can tell a lot about how weird today's selloff was by just looking at my 5-ETF "Dumb Money" Portfolio's daily performance. Energy $FENY, Tech $FTEC & megacap growth $MGK traded down together, but utilities #FUTY (and consumer staples) rallied! #SafeHavens

In every Crypto Winter, Bitcoin crashes 50% or more from its all-time high and everyone thinks “this time is different, the days of 70% selloffs are behind us.” In 2018, the bulls said Bitcoin was done because there was more institutional money in the space and futures would stabilize the market. In 2022, the bulls said Bitcoin was done because there was more institutional money in the space and ETFs were coming. Now, in 2026, the bulls are saying Bitcoin is done because there is more institutional money in the space and ETFs will stabilize the market. In 2018 and 2022, Bitcoin sold off more than 50% from the prior low. In 2026, the low is $57.5K. So, do you think this time is different? One day it will be. Is today that day? Place your bets.

When Bitcoin, Gold, and Uranium All Fall at Once The contrast between my three ETF portfolios this week tells the story of today’s market better than any headline. While speculative themes like #Bitcoin, #nuclear, #PreciousMetals, and high-growth #technology were hit hard, #investors stampeded toward safety, dividends, utilities, and bonds. That rotation created a tale of three very different outcomes across my ETF portfolios. The good news? Volatility creates opportunity. Even as the markets churned, several positions reached profit-taking targets, allowing me to lock in gains on both Treasury bonds and dividend stocks while patiently rebuilding cash reserves. In uncertain markets, raising cash isn’t a prediction. It’s preparation.

I'm not usually super paranoid about keeping crypto I have in a trade on my exchanges, but if Binance can get hacked, I can't help but think, "Who's next?" 🤔 Yeah. Keeping all crypto - even mid-trade - on cold wallets for the time being. Not your keys, not your crypto. 👍

The AI Truth Nobody Wants to Hear (a 🧵) AI won’t create utopia... or dystopia. And that’s what investors need to understand. Every transformative technology arrives wrapped in extreme predictions.

A more realistic outcome is that AI becomes another powerful productivity tool that reshapes industries, improves efficiency, and creates both winners and losers along the way. In other words, society years from now may look surprisingly familiar.

People will still work. Companies will still compete. Investors will still search for the next great opportunity. The technologies will change. Human nature probably won’t.
