Momentum Monday...I Thought Investing Was hard

Another day, another bunch of all time highs.

Ivan and I recorded today’s ‘Momentum Monday‘ and toured the markets. So much looks right that it seems silly. Financials stand out to me right at the moment (I share some ideas in the video) and they seem ready to really go higher. Let’s check back on these next week for sure.

Warren Buffett has $100 billion of cash on hand, but zero bitcoins. The $100 billion is no doubt massive, but it’s the equivalent of just two times the market cap of bitcoin. His dry powder is insignificant if another 1929 is around the corner.

It turns out that if you can create flying cars and buses you will make a few shekels – just take a look at Boeing:

Finally…I will always be guilty of selling on the way up— but ‘it’s not a sin to lock it in‘:
