Dear Mr @elonmusk with your Trillionaire status would you mind buying up the available physical silver stock? It should only cost you ~100 billion or so and you'd quickly squeeze the market. Then re-sell to industrial partners how you see fit. Thank you, From the #silverstackers around the world

Iran has given Trump the go ahead to strike hard and end this conflict. It’s probably the only way out.

This is a false stat. And these are definitely expensive seats. But a $MSFT engineer probably already costs the company 30,000 a month? An additional 2,000 a month to make that engineer more productive would certainly have return on investment. Unfortunately as engineers, I think we are gonna be tracked a lot more for efficiency. Prior to AI, we were more a fixed cost albeit a large one. Now that we control the token flows, there’s scrutiny.
Microsoft gave 12,000 engineers Claude Code they loved it then the bill came up to $2,000 per person a month so they took it away from everyone if the biggest company in the world can't pay for it, how can normal people like us?

There is nothing more technically bullish than a 40-year resistance level turning into major support. That is exactly where gold miners sit today. Act accordingly. tavicosta.substack.com/p/a-s…

I spoke with a member of the technical staff at Anthropic yesterday who is about to make $17 million. He's been there less than 2.5 years and is blown away by his equity value. His biggest worry now is tax strategy. His CPA told him to "max out his 401(k) and consider a donor-advised fund." While that's a great starting point, here's what makes even more sense: He's acquiring a 48 unit apartment complex in Phoenix for $14.5 million. We're running a cost segregation study to reclassify approximately 30% of the depreciable basis into 5, 7, and 15 year property. Here's the math: • $14.5M purchase price • ~$12.3M depreciable basis (excluding land) • ~$3.7M reclassified to short-life assets via cost seg • 100% bonus depreciation under OBBBA = $3.7M accelerated to Year 1 Plus standard Year 1 depreciation on the remaining basis adds another ~$315K. Total Year 1 deduction: approximately 4M. His wife is qualifying as a real estate professional 750 hours, more time than any other activity. The loss is no longer passive. It offsets ordinary income. At a 37% federal bracket plus 13.3% California, that's a combined rate just over 50%. $4M × 50% = 2M in tax savings. Year 1. Layer in operating expenses, loan interest, and startup costs on the property, the total offset against his Anthropic income crosses $3 million. Not deferred. Not spread over 27.5 years. Meanwhile, the property cash flows. He's converted concentrated tech stock into a real asset producing monthly income. And he's done it all before he files the return on his equity windfall. This is what real tax planning looks like for tech liquidity. If you're an engineer, exec, or early employee sitting on a meaningful equity position and your CPA hasn't mentioned cost segregation, bonus depreciation, or REPS qualification, you're probably leaving seven figures on the table.

THIS GUY LIVES UNDER SFO'S TAKEOFF PATH SO HE BUILT A CEILING PROJECTOR THAT TRACKS EVERY PLANE FLYING OVER HIS HOUSE IN REAL TIME he uses a cheap $30 radio receiver to pick up the signals that planes broadcast while flying. then projects them onto his ceiling in real time when a jet flies over his house you hear it outside and at the exact same moment a plane glides across his ceiling labeled with the airline, aircraft type, and destination pure black background so the projector's rectangle disappears and only the aircraft are visible but he didn't stop at planes it also draws the real sky behind them. sun, moon, bright stars, constellations, and live satellites including the ISS. all at their true positions for his exact location and time in real time so he's lying in bed watching the actual night sky projected onto his ceiling with real planes crossing through it as they take off from SFO there is a huge market for every man alive that runs outside to see the helicopter vibe coded the whole thing himself with a cheap radio, a projector, and some clever software

Gold is sitting right at its 200-day moving average. Yes, the last time we were here turned out to be a great buying opportunity…. but I try not to get too fixated on technical levels alone. What stands out to me is how dramatically sentiment has shifted. Just a few months ago, gold was one of the market’s favorite trades. Today, it feels almost completely forgotten. Not to steal from Buffett, but I'm starting to get greedy while others are becoming fearful. tavicosta.substack.com/p/rig…

Dang a million people have seen this man’s post begging for 1password support
Hey @1Password A family member deleted our whole family account, thinking they were only deleting their account. All my personal passwords/passkeys are there, so I’m pretty screwed. Support has not answered me for several hours. I need to recover access ASAP. Please advise

Today's price dump was deliberately engineered ahead of futures expiration on the COMEX. I believe, the worst is over and the new advancing cycle should start into the end of the present week...
