Another week of all-time-high wild actions by the stock market. This energizer bunny just keeps going and going. Fun to watch but not easy to navigate if you are an active trader. Howard Marks summarizes this nicely in this interview.

I find this video very interesting because of its implications in improving the electricity grid on large scale basis. The hype on Musk’s work on batteries for home use is really impractical compare to this low cost solution. Well, I am bias on anything Musk does right now but that is a separate topic …

Someone sent me this video on cutting up ATM machines as if it is treasure hunting. I never imagine that people would simply leave those money in the ATM machines. Fun to watch!

The world is living in fear again lately due to the surge in cases of covid across the globe. I tried to avoid talking about this topic for a long time because I do not agree to the many propaganda promoted by the mainstream media and various dumb politicians. For example, why the focus of finding treatment for covid using existing drugs not of highest priority for almost two damn years? If it were made the highest priority, I am 100% sure than within 3 months of the spread of the pandemic we would already have an army of medications to deal with the crisis and that countless number of people would be saved, not almost two years later.

The dumbness (or scientific ignorance) of the politicians, giving them the benefit of doubt that it is not their greed and self interest, tells the world that we have to stop electing these people to manage our societies. As long as these clowns are there, the tragedy we are going through now will repeat. Sadly, I think this will not happen anytime soon.

It looks to me that we are at the eye of a storm with financial markets, covid crisis and geopolitical tensions all standing at this delicate balance at the moment. Any one of them going south, all the rest will be in total chaos again.

Buckle up!

This is option expiration Friday again. Earlier today a stock market veteran I know for years commented about the market actions this week and then asked for my opinion. Serious, when people talk like that they are just asking for your agreement. I do my usual thing by telling him that it is just option expiration week. This is how funny the world is because human in general have no higher awareness … in a few weeks time he will repeat the same mistake all over again.

Last week I mentioned a better video platform called Odysee. To follow-up on that, here is a video of the US government trying to squash this platform by wasting US taxpayers’ money to destroy it through lawsuits. Whenever you see a government doing things like this, you know which side is the bad guy.

Here is a video from Dr. Paul Mason on how misguiding your doctors can be when it comes to taking care of their patients’ health. I am 100% sure 98% of the licensed doctors out there do not know enough basic science or latest understanding of human physiology to be really qualified to take care of their patients. Remember it is your job to take care of yourself properly. Being ignorant nowadays can be deadly. With great videos like those created by Dr. Mason, you can learn as much as you are willing to and improve your health starting today.

For those of you active investors, here is a video about a subject I talked often in my newsletter – global population implosion. I try very hard not to touch on this subject publicly for years. Now that someone made a video about it, you can watch it and be prepared for the inevitable.

Another week is over and yet I still haven’t been able to catch up with my projects. The hardware issues happened last few weeks really messed up my plan. There is no other way out of this – just put in more hours to catch up.

Have a great weekend all!

Another all-time-high week for the US stock market, with everyone thought that on Thursday morning the rally was over, the market magically rallied all the way back up today. Is this the new norm? I don’t know but we are definitely living in interesting time.

I came across this great video about learning style. I always tell people the best way to learn is to acquire the knowledge of how to learn better, not depending on your personal preference. And this video illustrated the concept nicely.

We often hear about rich kids hiring people to do their homework and even take the exam for them. However, thanks to the internet, the more common form of cheating is really the writing of essays and term papers by hired guns. This article explodes some aspects of the problem that you may not know.

Lately I learned about the video site Odysee.com that many youtubers have migrated their videos over there due to censorship. In the future if there is a version of the same video is available on odysee, I will link to that instead of youtube because you never know when YT would use its ban hammer on a video for whatever reason …

I am also thinking of publishing on odysee instead of youtube for long term viability. I haven’t figure out exactly what to do with it yet. I will keep you all posted about this in coming weeks.

It is third quarter of the year and I am pushing hard to keep my schedule. It is not that easy though when there are so many things I have to attend to. Hopefully this quarter I make good progress with several projects and reduce my stack of to-do tasks by half. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Have a great weekend all!

Another week fly-by quickly with the stock market floating near its all-time-high. It is not a surprise at all to many of us long time traders while the gurus out there keep calling how overvalued the market is, blah blah blah … Well, always remember these wise words from the economist John Maynard Keynes, “the markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.”

Ontario, the Canadian province I am living in, has finally, taken the steps to unwind its lockdown measures. Given the fact that the politicians have vaccination as an excuse, I don’t think they will tighten the lockdown measures again. I am so looking forward to go out this summer.

While I am staying outdoor more, the chance of encountering bees and wasps goes much higher. Searching for ways to fend off these bugs, I found an interesting article about them. If you are going out for outdoor activities too, you may want to read it too.

For those of you bitcoins fans, Tom Bilyeu invited Michael Saylor to his show to talk about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency investing. I do not agree with many things Mr. Saylor said in the video. But I like to hear the arguments from someone who holds a different perspective from mine so that I would understand what I may have missed.

Something very disturbing happened this week. A famous biologist and YouTuber, Bret Weinstein, has his videos taken down by YouTube because “they spread disinformation”. Facebook also banned his other videos for the same reason. I’ve watched those videos and they are proper discussion of what’s going on. What makes these social media platforms to have the right or expertise to say these discussions are misinformation?

Here is a video about the global economy at this stage that is not banned by YouTube. It is a reasonably balanced view about the current situation. We really do not know what the outcome will be, given the scale of this global economic experiment is unpreceded. So, watch it and be prepared is not a bad idea.

After major hardware upgrade past few weeks, one of the computers keep crashing with blue screen and then reboot itself. It is extremely annoying and difficult to tell what causes the problem. I hope I can pinpoint the issue over this weekend. Otherwise I may as well setup a another computer to take over. I guess it is just the way things are during Mercury retrograde.

Have a great weekend all!
