If so, what macro conditions are causing this? 01:33 My Bear Mug 01:59 My View of 2026 - Half Bull Half Bear 04:00 I often wonder if the disconnect between global liquidity and btc is in part due to global reserve currency wars, China vs US, BRICS vs US. China and the rest of BRICS buying up gold and other physical assets, compared to US buying up BTC? 05:04 China vs USA, BRICS and Gold vs BTC 07:21 Pros and Cons of US BTC Reserve Strategy (vs BRICS Gold Focus) 09:05 I want to stay concentrated, but I’m worried that by having no allocation to gold, I’m fading the Chinese and their long-term strategic vision. Does it make sense to have our hedges aligned with theirs? 10:29 Steelman Case for Bitcoin and or Gold 14:16 You’ve often said that it’s wasteful to invest in index funds. According to Chat GPT, here are the S&P 500 returns since 2009…assuming you’ve already got some risky disruption exposure and are doing some trading and want to get some growth with your leftover capital, these numbers seem pretty good. 15:18 Mag7 vs S&P 493 15:49 Chart 16:24 Mag7 Make all the Profits 16:50 CAGR of SPX over 26 Years 17:45 CAGR of SPX/M2 over 26 Years 18:18 Best Stocks Ever ie Highest CAGR 19:08 Robotaxi and the potential for food/grocery delivery? Stock impact projections? 20:12 The Food Delivery Scam and Food Delivery Market USA 22:08 Human vs Robotaxi Delivery 23:09 2030 Projections - Food/Groc Delivery 24:30 Robotaxi + Food/Groc Delivery 2030 25:09 I rolled into several Jan 2026 TSLA synthetic longs struck at $200. Given your current view that Q1 2026 could be pretty rough for the market overall, do you think I should close or roll the position instead of exercising into shares at expiration? 26:29 Tesla 2026/27 Tailwinds are off the hook! 29:40 Slowly, then Suddenly - Robotaxi Ramps 1000% 30:14 Build the Mattress 30:48 I hold 50 TSLA shares as well as two european option warrants with expirations in Jan 2027 and Dec 2026. As you always say I want to build up my mattress and exercise both of them (50% capital, 50% margin), however if I plan ahead conservatively with my expected salary I will be short about 9k by the time of expiration. How would you approach this situation? Would you exercise everything and for example take on a cheap loan for the remaining amount knowing where TSLA is going? 32:01 TSLA Options 33:44 What I would do 34:29 I’m 70 and husband 77. We have most of our bag ( a good amount) in Tesla, BTC and MSTR equal shares in IRA. You’d said NFA to put $ 20% safety, 30% balance, 50% growth. I’m low in the cash category, cryptos suck currently so the only place to harvest $ is Tesla but it’s so hard to pry it away from my hot little hand! 35:17 SWAN Test 36:09 Items to Consider - Harvest Action Plan 37:45 Mental Tricks to Ease the Pain 39:06 I know it’s risky considering we don’t know when crypto will turn around but I was thinking about adding some Jupiter to my bag. It’s so far off the ATH it might be worth the risk. Is it still the leading dex out there? Worth a small position at these prices? 39:28 JUP Price All Time Low - Volume Down since 10/10 39:58 JUP Tx Holding up 40:26 Speaking of Turning Around - Just 3 Wks in Dec 43:35 When ASI is upon us it becomes the world’s best trader and tells every person exactly when to buy and sell stocks to make the most money. If everyone gets this perfect advice at the same time, who is left to buy or sell to? 44:10 Trading in the ASI Future 47:42 Helping Animals
