Florida, USA
Alright, making this one public. $55K → $1M taxable account challenge. Why taxable? I want the flexibility to access the money without retirement-account restrictions. I’ll share key wins, losses, trades and lessons along the way and maybe a few tax strategies from my CPA toolbox too. Let’s see how long this one takes

Nice dinner with my wife. Love these things. Not sure why sea urchins are such a rare find in this part of the world. I was first introduced to them while traveling through Newfoundland & Labrador in Canada 🇨🇦 (by the way, I highly recommend to visit this place - I've been twice). Apparently, they have a pretty significant sea urchin fishery there, but most of the catch gets exported.

Today was rough: -2.6% 😬 I wish brokers made weekly performance easier to track. I can see 1-day, monthly, YTD, etc., but not weekly. Am I the only one who wants this?

If your friend told you that his net worth is $1 million. Then you find out: 🏠 $700K — home equity 📈 $200K — 401(k) 💵 $100K — cash / brokerage Still a millionaire? Or does liquid net worth matter more to you?

Shorted $META for a very quick coffee money ☕. This will be a quick play. I'm still bullish on it.

Sold my $SHOP Oct 16 2026 $145 calls for +10% profit (~$200). This was a losing position that recovered with the recent $SHOP price action. Theta was starting to work against me, so I decided to close and take the profit. Could probably make more money here, but protecting capital is the priority. Also, sold covered call $SHOP Oct 2 2026 $157.5 for $105 premium - letting Theta work in my favor here.

Yesterday I grabbed ONE Starbucks coffee at Barnes & Noble. At the same checkout, I also bought a toy and some books. Total was around $100. Then the screen gave me the same percentage-based tip options calculated on the entire purchase. 😂 So now I’m potentially tipping 20% on books and toys? Obviously, I didn't, but I feel plenty of people probably hit 20% out of habit. Where do you draw the line with tipping? I'm seriously considering no longer tipping on takeouts at all.

Awareness of what $NBIS actually building is going mainstream. And the market is definitely paying attention. Nebius is being recognized in the same top tier as $CRWV for AI infrastructure capability.

Why does $NFLX get so much hate these days? I'm genuinely curious? Am I missing something?

Don’t throw eggs at me 🥚😂 especially when everyone seems ecstatic about $META But I see $META correcting to around $680. I'm not bearish on $META long term. I just think a correction is coming and I'm positioning accordingly. Let’s see how well this ages.

Talking about @nebiusai innovative edge. $NBIS just introduced dynamic spot pricing for preemptive VMs. It got me thinking about $IREN. IREN has the GPU infrastructure to monetize spare capacity too, but owning GPUs and data centers is one thing. Building the cloud platform and software layer around them is another. Nebius can now dynamically price unused GPU capacity based on demand, region and GPU type. Could $IREN eventually build something similar? Maybe. These are the small things that keep reminding me why $NBIS has an edge: it's not just building AI infrastructure. It's building the platform around it.
Today we're introducing spot pricing for preemptible VMs on Nebius. From October 8 the price will be calculated dynamically from available capacity and demand, per GPU type and region, instead of a discount we set. Cap what you pay, or follow the price. Settings are live today.

What it the right decision? $SHOP is now $148.
I've loaded up on $SHOP this week below $130, looking for a bounce into the $140–$145 zone relatively quickly. Should I be worried? 😅

A 22-year-old has a $2M portfolio. Sounds incredible, doesn't it? Then you learn: $1.8M was inherited $0.2M built through investing Which impresses you more? The $2M or the $200K he built himself?

$META just ripped through $740. Does it hold the breakout, or do we revisit $680 or even $650 first? What level are you watching?
