I recently bought some TSLQ (2x short ETF) with a bit of play money after many years of being long on Tesla. I do think they're cooked at the current valuation and my thinking is pretty simple: almost the entirety of their valuation is

That view is a leftover from a bygone era, when others could look at the US with often grudging admiration. Today? The US itself doesn't think much of itself, and to the rest of us it is a cautionary tale.

OP posted a super short 2 sentence post and yet you managed to take that out of context and twist it into the exact opposite of what they meant. Incredible. I don't think OP is the one with the insane opinions.

I use a technique where LLMs help me write, but the final output is manual and entirely mine. It's a bit of heavy process, but I think it blends the power of LLM and authenticity of my thoughts fairly well, I'll paste in my blog p

It's an extremely unfortunate and shockingly stupid way to understand the world, but not unreasonable, because it's a accurate reflection of how the world works at the moment. Take a look at the situation "room" at Mar A

Now go on X.com and see whether this blog post is being shared and discussed amongst the MAGA Silicon Valley executive class. Taken at face value, this topic is completely irrelevant to them and you should see no mention of it whatsoever an
