You took the trade on someone else’s idea. Now it’s going against you, and you’re waiting for them to say something, or building the case that it isn’t your fault. The trade stopped being yours. A trader who gives away ownership of the result gives away the ability to change it. A trader who owns it can fix it. My book shows why traders give away ownership, and how to change that. “A Trader’s Ride” ~The life you build ~The trader you become Slim’s new book coming soon Get notified (free signup): askslim.com/free-account/

Investors are getting a taste of what the dangers are of believing you can just hold everything forever. Valuations matter, even if it takes a while to prove it. And those to think they could just hold through market volatility, learn painful lessons. There’s a bear market out there. And when it comes, the pain will be worse than now in AI, because it will be broad. Yes, every time in history, the peak level the bear market began was eventually surpassed on the upside by the next bull market. Sometimes it takes many years. And many investors don’t ever get to take the ride because they did not prudently lighten up at a point of excess. And many investors get forced out of the market because their confidence level in the “long-term” was a trap they didn’t understand. And many of them never have the stomach to return. ~Slim

Well except that bitcoin has no intrinsic value. It has little purpose or utility other than gambling.

Every trader who held a loser too long can name the moment they knew. The level broke. The bounce failed. The chart said it. They saw it & stayed anyway. Ask them why, most can’t answer. They’ll say hope or stubbornness. The real answer was already inside them before the trade was placed.

Guess what!!! Small cap stocks are not safe haven from plunging tech / A1 and dropping crypto. It will bleed into the Russell2000.

Can the stock market withstand the collapse of AI. These stock got way ahead of themselves and now many are getting crushed. Yet the S&P500 is just a few percent from the high. I’ve warned of a bad November. Your call?

$CAT beats Q3 earnings with $7.20 EPS, but the stock plummets ~10%. Why? It’s an AI story, not a mining one. The AI Hook: Caterpillar is now an AI infrastructure play. Its Power Systems segment supplies massive backup generators to tech data centers. Combined with construction, this now drives 80%+ of revenue. Mining Reality: Despite falling metal prices, CAT’s Mining unit actually grew sales 15% to $4.6B. The core business is stable. 📉 The Drop: It's a valuation correction. Investors priced CAT like a high-flying tech stock. When forward data center guidance came in "flat/moderate" instead of an exponential blowout, the AI tech premium evaporated. #Caterpillar #StockMarket #Earnings #AI #DataCenters #Investing #Stocks

The math says the Fed is not fighting inflation hard enough. The open question is whether it has the stomach to go where the math points, or whether it stops early again. Read this 👇 The Fed funds rate has averaged about five and a half percent since 1954. Even excluding the Volcker peak, the average is near five. If the current rate sits in the four to four and a half range, it is below the historical norm, not above it. The real rate is the number that matters. Subtract inflation and you are looking at roughly zero to one percent positive. That is not restrictive. That is neutral at best. Volcker did not break inflation with a nominal rate near five. He took it to twenty percent while inflation ran ten to fourteen. Real rates of six to ten percent positive. That is what forced deleveraging. A restrictive stance today points to a funds rate in the six to seven percent range. Some argue higher, given how much debt the system carries. The same rate bites harder on leveraged borrowers than it did in past cycles. The catch: the Fed has never sustained that level without breaking something. Every time real rates went that positive, you got a recession or a financial crisis. 1980. 1981. 2001. 2008. The pattern is the Fed gets there, panics, and cuts before inflation is fully dead. #Fed #Inflation #Rates #Markets ~ Slim
