Bearish indicators next to S&P 500 returns for the past decade. 2022 was abysmal and we’re still going through its ramifications, in the gaming industry especially.

After the recent selloff, the S&P 500 is a touch above its 200-day average and well below its 50-day average. So far, it’s not as bad as it could be. I expect December to finish on top again.

Why did Berkshire take such a big, ill-advised position in Alphabet?

2026 has been brutal for momentum so far. Historically it has vastly outperformed the S&P over longer time horizons, but it does poorly in sharp trend reversals like what happened this quarter. † NG+ is my own basket of $SPMO + $IUIT

I used to carry both my iPhone and iPad everywhere. My iPhone handled most of my daily tasks, while iPad was dedicated to portfolio analysis and research databases. Since getting the Duo I haven't touched my iPad; it handles my entire workflow flawlessly. They did it again. 👌🏼

While I miss the zoom lens and there are a few quirks to adjust to, I don’t see myself ever going back to a non-foldable. The ability to open it up and read reports or do real work with no compromises is just too good.

Me buying into the lows of $SPMO & $IUIT and pretending I’m making some kind of left-field discovery lol
When I put a sensible portion of my biweekly paycheck into a low-cost index fund.

I spent a month figuring out what my new strategy will be. In my backtest, it almost always correlated with VOO’s drawdowns alongside QQQ-like levels of appreciation. I got humbled by the market last night. Fig. 1: a small splice of my backtest; Fig. 2: 2026’s outlier behavior
Is this a one-time fluke, or can I repeat it again? (Period: February 2021 until October 2026) I started a new separate portfolio to challenge myself and prove that I can repeat it. Let’s check-in after a year.

This paragraph by Richard Feynman hits so hard: “Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn’t stop you from doing anything at all.”

Tom Hiddleston says happiness is overrated and spending your life chasing it can actually make you unhappy "Happiness is overrated. Meaning is underrated. Happiness is like a sunrise or a sunset. Bear with me" "You're there. It's lovely. You're present with it. The sun's rising or the sun is setting. It's perfect. After 15 minutes, the moment is over and it's gone. Trying to sustain it is impossible because it's over" "And a life spent chasing the permanence of that feeling will make you unhappy because you can't hold on to it. The moment you try to hold on to it, it slips through your fingers and is lost" "Meaning is a structure that only you create in your own life, an architecture with your own particular spiritual fingerprint, whereby if you're going through a hard time, if you're going through challenge, struggle, obstacles, suffering or pain, only you know why you're going through it" "You might know, this is hard now. I'm doing it for my kids. I'm doing it for my mom. I'm doing it for my future" "And then it makes enduring the hard times bearable because you know what it means" "And meaning - this is the take - meaning yields joy. Joy is deeper than happiness"

Apple’s lack of AI expenditure is working out well. What a bloodbath.
You can't make this up. 5 of the Magnificent 7 are down more than 10% from their all time highs, and 2 are already in a bear market. • Google $GOOGL: down -31.4% • Meta $META: down -22.5% • Tesla $TSLA: down -17.9% • Amazon $AMZN: down -16.0% • Nvidia $NVDA: down -12.9% • Microsoft $MSFT: down -6.5% All this while the S&P 500 $SPX is trading just 1.8% below its all-time high.

ETF wrapper containing other ETFs is a brilliant idea, but 20 seems a bit much. It underperformed the market in my backtests. From 2016 to 2025, VOO did 15.8%, QQQ did 21%, WBMO did 13.5%.

While I did outperform the market in the past 4 years, I spent most of my time this year analyzing how I can do that again without going through that extreme volatility. Going to test my new findings with a new portfolio starting from zero.
The guy with a high income going all in on 2 or 3 solid index funds is going to get way wealthier and do it faster than the guy gambling on single stocks

I should write a follow-up to my primer on the stock market. It’s fun to be told that I did better than 90% of professional money managers.
I spent a whole month trying to decipher the stock market. 130+ hours later, I feel like I get it. My friends call me every day for tips, so I had to write a primer for newbies like me. My first @heyhey article is up for your enjoyment. I hope it helps. world.hey.com/rbkk/casino-ro…

I’m overjoyed that more people are finally waking up to Metroid supremacy. They don’t call the genre metroidvania for naught. The 2D Metroid games are in a league of their own, and Dread is one of the best games Nintendo made.
never in my life have i seen a nintendo character w this level of aura holy shit
