The S P did a belly flip. Days like today validate my bearishness. Even before today’s selloff, Genesis Cog compiled some FANTASTIC wins on the long AND short side. You see, it’s not about timing the market, but READING the algorithms, knowing how they’ll act and react BEFORE they move. In fact, my
My daughter can't put down Roblox. Eight hours a day if I let her. I had to take her phone away last week. She's 12. The dopamine hit is real. The addiction is real. And watching this market the past six months? I get it now. Every single weekday morning, I wake up knowing exactly

I was in Lisbon last year. While there, I rode the funicular up the steep hillside - two train cars that are connected by a cable over a pulley. As one climbs, the other descends. Equal speed.
