RE: Not a big deal

The creator vs. the parasite:

Are you an intellectual creator or a parasite?

I believe borrowing ideas is great, yet enhancing them is greater. One should be bored with people telling you they are the Warren Buffett of Kazakhstan.

Because it forces you down the rabbit hole in a market that is fundamentally and foundationally different from the fertile developed West.

One can do their best Warren Buffett impersonation but you can never top the original.

That is the keyword. The original.

It is much more stellar evolve.

Someone emailed me and said it’s not a big deal.

My reply:

+1% on the S&P 500 is not a big deal (only 12 times in the last year).

Or 30-40 points a few minutes after an email—not a big deal.

50 points in the S&P 500 mini futures, or 1 contract, equals $2,500 in a few minutes. In the most liquid biggest index in the world implying it can be done at scale or can be enhanced with another instrument.

None of it is a big deal.

But small-cap EM is a big deal.

So now it’s investing? They haven’t been following the publication well enough to know if it’s long-term calls—I also am not a big deal for swings and long term.

I’m fundamentally convinced that many people’s points of view are restricted to what they can understand and their biases, and that you cannot expect them to assume otherwise. 

Of course, it will be an outsider who comes out of nowhere to do something different.

One’s podcast goes back since 2012. Humbling learning and listening.

his series features numerous financial thought leaders including Ron Paul, Jim Rogers, Mark Mobius, James Altucher, Robert Kiyosaki, Jack Schwager, Rick Rule, Marc Faber, Vitaliy Katsenelson, Porter Stansberry, Frank Curzio, David Morgan, Doug Casey and Richard Maybury. They discuss market insights through casual, thought-provoking, and at times radical discussions.

It’s hard to conceive that it would be a collectivist in the realm of thought to do so. We are speaking objectively here.

Non of this really matters.

Do you know why?

I’d rather be the guy that’s going 10/10 or 90% in a small content bite - email, which is objectively the highest form of value because it implies everyone can participate, including oneself.

Hence there is no need to hard sell like a crypto/nft bro on tic tok.

Because the efficiency of your scale ‘idea gen’ is vital.

Because that is empowerment.

God save me!
