In a sea of "Trading Guru's" one of the low hanging fruit ways to weed out the frauds is to only follow people who regularly speak LIVE on camera
Anybody can copy other people's tweets and regurgitate talking points
But can you speak intelligently about your strategies LIVE? 🤔

Some traders don't realize how high the borrow fees can spike up on leveraged Volatility ETPs like $UVXY
Sometimes it may be reasonable, other times, completely prohibitive!
And remember, you are NOT in control of when this happens. The increases can come out of nowhere

99% of what you see on social media is the best 30 seconds of someone's day
That perfect (edited) picture. That shot they took 20 minutes to set up. That location they travelled to just to get the photo
Don't ever allow what you see online to make you feel "less than"

Market crashes can be a HUGE opportunity for profit for those who understand the power of targeted Long Volatility in a crisis
S&P 500 in the 2008 financial crisis was down 56%
VIXM, a Long Volatility ETF was up over 100%
Volatility Targeting can be VERY lucrative 💰

I wonder if a good chunk of our societal issues these days could be solved by simply doing away with anonymity online?
If every social media account HAD to be opened with a passport, would people behave the same?
People don't talk that way in person

For nearly everybody: Long $SVIX or $SVXY is better than Short $UVXY or $VXX
There are MANY downsides to shorting the Long Vol ETPs directly, but buying the Inverse Volatility ETPs solves those issues
You'll make more money with lower risk by using the Inverse ETPs

- Are women just very unlikely to take investing advice from men?

My 5 minute rule for discipline
There are days when I don't want to workout or run, so here's what I do:
I lace up the shoes and go anyway, but I allow myself to quit and go home after 5 minutes if I want to
In 30 years, I've left maybe twice
Once you start, you'll be glad you went
