🎗️🇺🇸 The Twin Towers almost had a much 'yuger' comeback after 9/11... Back in 2005, Trump got behind a plan called “Twin Towers II.” The idea was to bring back the familiar towers, but make them stronger, safer and five stories taller than the originals. And for Trump, making them bigger actually meant something. His thinking was basically: they knocked the towers down, so the U.S. should put them right back up, only taller and stronger. But New York was already moving ahead with a different replacement for the site, the Freedom Tower, which eventually became One World Trade Center. Trump hated it. He called the design “disgusting” and a “pile of junk,” and felt putting up something smaller than the original towers would basically hand the terrorists a symbolic win. Putting the Twin Towers back bigger and stronger was his way of saying: you knocked us down, and we came right back. And he actually pushed the idea pretty hard. Trump held a press conference with the engineer behind Twin Towers II, put a model of the bigger towers in the Trump Tower lobby and collected more than 20,000 signatures supporting it. He had no official control over what got built, though, and the plan never happened. 25 years after 9/11, it’s pretty wild to imagine New York today with the Twin Towers back in the skyline, only bigger.

16 years ago, someone tried to auction 10,000 BTC for just $50, but no one placed a bid. Today, it's worth almost $790 Million.

$ASST is now up over 122% in a few weeks since our Startup blue diamond came in... it also perfectly respected the silver level I highlighted. If this gets a pink diamond in the coming days, I think it would be a very good buying opportunity. Will update immediately if I see one. Otherwise... bullish continuation IMO. 🔷 Team $BTC and $IBIT let's GOOOOO!

The first $TSLA Cybertruck made with 4680 cells containing lithium from the Tesla Gulf Coast Lithium Refinery. This is a HUGE MILESTONE. More Cybertrucks to come!

They used the $TSLA Robovan in Austin Texas at the event it looks like. 👀

There's millions of dollars in your phone, just gotta click the right buttons to get it. I freely share trade ideas... in just 1 month: $ASST ran 127.42% $BMNR ran 50.72% $BTC ran 29.27% $COIN ran 32.10% $ETH ran 32.90% $ETHA ran 34.05% $IBIT ran 27.20% $MSTR ran 49.57% $ZCSH ran 95.16% $ZEC ran 90.20% Some insane buying opportunities very soon IMO... I'll be posting the charts here. Pay attention, don't miss this run. 🫡

Korean memory stocks are *not* weak because of rumours that the U.S. will impose tariffs on Korean semiconductors. There are other drivers: 1. Retail net-buying for KOSPI has dropped by 90% from July (KRW 54.5T) to August (KRW 5.4T) - before talks of tariffs even intensified. 2. Retail brokerage account deposits have dropped to under KRW 100T for a whole week. In general, Koreans have less dry powder in their investing accounts vs. H1. 3. This is because Korean's are funneling their cash into bank accounts - deposits at Korea's top 5 banks increased in July-August to above KRW 1,000T for the first time. Simply, retail investors are more cautious right now. Tariff talk obviously doesn't help, but it's not the driver for the weakness in my opinion. Going forwards, I ultimately think foreign inflows will be more and more critical for KOSPI.

BREAKING: OpenAI releases new Astra model, and Greg Brockman of OpenAI says he believes it has achieved AGI

We’re launching the Citizen Debt Forecast (CDF): a real-time projection of our national debt powered by people’s beliefs aggregated by prediction markets. The national debt just crossed $40 trillion. And it’s accelerating fast. It took hundreds of years to accumulate the first $20 trillion and 18 years for the next $20 trillion. For FY 2026, the government made $5.6T and spent $7.4T creating a $1.9T deficit (5.9% of GDP). Here’s the breakdown of spend: • $4.4T (60%) in mandatory across Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, etc. • $1.9T (26%) in discretionary across Defense, Education, Transportation, Police, etc. • $1T (15%) in Net Interest The debt feeds on itself. A bigger debt stock means a bigger interest bill. If the economy and government revenues don't grow fast enough, more borrowing is needed to finance the existing debt - creating a vicious cycle of growing interest payments and debt. The debt impacts every American: higher interest rates flow straight to borrowing costs from mortgages to credit cards. So when does the debt get dangerous? There is no precise number and it’s more about the trajectory. Things turn bad when debt keeps growing faster than the economy and investors start demanding substantially higher rates to lend to the government. The government has a few (bad) options to pay down the debt: • raise taxes (less money for Americans), • cut spending (fewer services), • print money (inflation), or • default (trust erosion). We could also grow our way out of it, but it requires GDP growth we haven't seen in decades, sustained for decades. So how do we know if we're making progress? Our current projections of the debt come from a handful of institutions: the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the OMB, the CRFB, and the Penn Wharton Budget Model. The CBO is the default: they forecast debt-to-GDP 30 years out and set the number everyone else anchors to. These are excellent models, built by serious people. But they share a limitation: they're centralized. Each produces a single projection, shaped by one institution's assumptions, and updated only a few times a year. When the facts change, the forecast waits for the next release. Prediction markets offer something different. They match buyers and sellers, and aggregate beliefs across millions of people through an open, competitive bidding process. If traders think the market is wrong, they profit from correcting the price, so new information is incorporated in real time. The market produces a continuously updated forecast that can aggregate information no single committee possesses. One of my favorite Druckenmiller quotes from his op-ed last week summarizes this perfectly: "Markets aggregate information no committee possesses, and prices are how that information reaches decision makers." The Citizen Debt Forecast (CDF) is powered by free and open markets. It is a 10-year projection of the debt-to-GDP ratio, built from three forward curves – inflation, real GDP, and Fed funds – generated from Kalshi markets and layered on top of the CBO's fiscal baseline. It aggregates the views of thousands of traders into a single, easy-to-read picture of where the debt ratio is headed. We display the CDF next to the CBO forecast, allowing you to compare the two paths. We also made it interactive, so you can enter your own assumptions to compare with the citizen’s forecast and the CBO’s. You can even select from some pre-built scenarios: goldilocks, stagflation, sovereign default, and more. Many in Congress, on both sides of the aisle, are concerned about the debt. People and institutions already use prediction markets to track elections, geopolitics, and rates. Debt forecasts were harder to read, so we built a dashboard that puts them in one place. I hope this becomes a go-to market-based projection to complement committee-based forecasts and serve as an additional data point for the general public and policymakers. The debt is one of the greatest challenges facing America. My door is always open to anyone working on solving it. kalshi.com/gdp-scenarios

FED’S WALLER LEANS TOWARD SEPTEMBER HOLD Fed Governor Christopher Waller is inclined to keep rates unchanged at the September 15-16 meeting if August inflation confirms recent disinflation progress. However, a hotter inflation report could prompt him to support a rate hike, saying even a modest acceleration may justify tighter policy. Waller said economic growth remains solid and the labor market healthy, while underlying inflation is improving faster than headline core measures suggest. He still sees upside inflation risks amid geopolitical, trade and AI uncertainty.

I’ve compiled the "stock selection and review" strategy I’ve been using over the past few years into a document. It details my entire workflow—from how I monitor the market and screen for stocks to how I manage my positions. I originally intended to keep this for my own use, but today I’ve decided to share it. Like this post, comment "Learn," and follow me; then send me a private message, and I’ll send you the full version. This offer is valid for 48 hours only; it will be taken down after that.

S&P 500 returns over the last four years: 2023: +26.79% 2024: +25.73% 2025: +18.14% 2026: +12.44% (YTD) Without looking it up, who knows the last time we had a 4 year stretch with better returns than this?

Do stock markets inevitably fall when yields rise? ☑️ The relationship between TNX (10-year US Treasury yield) and SPX (S&P 500) is not simply inverse; their correlation depends on the dominant economic driver. 1⃣ Periods of inflation and tightening (negative correlation): When the Federal Reserve raises rates to curb inflation, a surge in TNX increases corporate borrowing costs and lowers the discounted future value of high-growth tech stocks. The increased attractiveness of risk-free returns draws capital out of the stock market, causing SPX to fall as TNX rises. 2⃣ Periods of economic recovery (positive correlation): Strong economic growth boosts corporate earnings expectations, driving SPX up; simultaneously, market expectations for moderate inflation and increased capital demand push TNX higher. In this scenario, rising yields signal a healthy economy, and both assets rise together. ☑️ Historical data shows that over the long term (spanning decades), the overall linear correlation coefficient between TNX and SPX is approximately -0.26, indicating a weak negative correlation. Assessing the stock-bond relationship requires avoiding a rigid, one-size-fits-all mindset. The key factor determining the direction of the SPX is whether the rise in TNX is driven by "inflation and rate hikes" or by "economic growth." #SPX #TNX #tradeing #US #stockmarket
