🧠 11 of the best tweets by @jposhaughnessy

Jim Sir has a spectacular ability to simplify complex topics and put them in just a tweet or thread.

I scraped his entire tweet library - here are some of my faves 🔥🔥🔥

THREAD...

1/11

The brightest people I have met share a superpower that would serve investors well - the ability to make inherently complex things simple and understandable.

2/11

If you can change your focus, you can change your future.

Don’t spend a minute worrying about something that you can’t control. If something can’t be changed by you taking direct action, put it out of your mind.

Today’s society is overrun with useless distractions.

Things you learn as you get older:

Other people are far less interested in you than you think they are.

4/11

Investors:
Your "morning routine" doesn't matter;
Finding "clever hacks" won't help you;
Reading lists of "10 things all successful people" do won't help you;
Watching "motivational videos" won't help you.

What will?
Controlling your emotions, being patient and persistent.

At the outset of a trial in one of Trump's lawsuits, Reserve Judge Stephen Simanek says he will not allow anyone to intervene or file friend-of-the-court briefs.

Here are the details on today's case:

Meanwhile, Trump's allies in the state Legislature will hold a hearing today over how the election was conducted. Some background on that hearing is here:

The judge today says he wants the hearing to be efficient and he plans to rule soon. He notes the Electoral College meets on Monday.

Arguments begin with Trump attorney Jim Troupis saying the doctrine of laches does not apply.

Readers are always clamoring for more coverage of arguments about laches.

So can a deal be reached between the EU and UK by Sunday, despite the pervading mood of gloom plus a sense – in public at least – that both sides are digging in their heels? It’s difficult but possible #Brexit /1

Today the European Commission chief hit back at the EU-is-in-denial-about-UK-sovereignty claim.Yes, she said, EU was insisting on what it views as ‘fair competition’ rules in exchange for giving the UK preferential access to the single market (tariff +quota free) but she added/2

that UK would remain free – “sovereign, if you wish” were the words she used – to decide what it wanted to do. If UK diverged the EU "would simply adapt conditions for access to our market. It would be the decision of the UK and would apply vice versa,” she said /3

Is this a change in the EU position? I'd argue no. The EU has gradually shifted focus as it has become increasingly aware that post-Brexit UK will want to make up its own rules and regulations for business; deciding for itself which industries it wants to invest in and promote /4

Despite this, EU would rather have a trade + security deal with UK than not. So Brussels has been pondering how it can live with UK’s sovereign right to diverge, protect single market and still have a deal. Answer: focus more on governance, not just level playing field /5

Thread: PRESIDENT TRUMP TROLLS HIS HATERS AS HE LINES UP THE COUP (DE GRACE)
As the disinfo & #Fakenews being thrown out by BOTH SIDES in this new type of INFORMATION WAR peaks, of course Trump himself would participate on Twitter where Friend & Foe alike can be DISTRACTED.

1/ THREAD - MSN ARE ONLY *NOW* ‘BREAKING’ THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY... It didn’t fit their agenda 2 months ago pre election so they LIED to you👇🏻

Brexit. A Eurovision Negotiating Contest. How are the contestants doing? To read the UK press you’d be forgiven for being ... completely misinformed. We’re lurching into a crisis on a scale not seen since at least 1956 & probably 1945. Here’s what’s really going on. A thread./1.

For a number of key journalists, their only job is to take dictation from the 10 Downing Street spokesman & give it to the Times, Telegraph or Spectator for publishing. This is part of a therapy effort for the small minority of the population who read those publications & .../2.

... would otherwise be confused by being confronted with the reality of the world around them. The articles are interesting for two reasons:

⁃They tell you precisely what 10 Downing Street currently wants those readers, which include other journalists, to hear. /3.

⁃Looking at their detailed content, such as it is, shows just how possible a “deal” quite obviously is & how nonsensical a “no deal” would be. They also (if you’re familiar with a bit of background, which you surely are) highlight just how bad a “deal” of the sort .../4.

... the government envisages - a massive climb down from the UK’s extraordinarily privileged position in the EU’s customs union & single market - would be for the UK. And how a “no deal” would be even worse - substantially so - than such a (really awful) “deal”. /5.

I have been listening to Biden's recording with Civil Rights leaders and his tone and bs was a trip I wasn't ready for.

The disrespect was absolutely unacceptable. No self-respecting African-American should be allowing old White dudes to talk to them this way. (THREAD)

The other thing that irritated me was his demand that we work with White Hispanics. We GOTTA do it.

Nobody is else is told they have to work with other racial groups except African-Americans. No other racial groups are ridin for us!

I'll show you. 2/

The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) advocates for all people of colors. It was founded by Blacks, but looked out for all the Brown immigrants that came here AFTER us.

Black folks fought for and protected the rights of all non-White people.
3/

Other groups don't. I looked.

The National Council for Asians and Pacific Islanders don’t advocate for Black people. I haven't heard on call for them to help and support Black people.

The Jewish Federations don’t advocate for Black people either. Nobody is telling them they need to include Black people in their agendas or work with them.

3. (a) Organizations and Conferences
Insist on doing everything through "channels." Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to, expedite decisions.

4. Make "speeches." Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your "points" by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.
Never hesitate to make a few appropriate "patriotic" comments.

5. When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study & consideration"
make the committees as large as possible - never less than 5
- Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible
- Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions

Q

#QPatriot0 DID THIS!!!!!

Do these describe you?:

- You love helping people.

- You love teaching people.

- You love to train and coach people.

- You want to make money doing this.

Then here are 5 things you should do. (Short thread)

First, understand that the knowledge industry will never die.

It will continue to grow and evolve.

People will always need knowledge to think better thoughts and become better people.

Businesses will always need knowledge to grow and lead competition.

If you are in the knowledge industry, you are strategically positioned to not only grow people and businesses,

But

Your work has far reaching consequences.

You make the world a better place as you help others hit their goals.

So here are 5 things you should do

1. Choose a niche.

Decide on who you want to work with.

Individuals? Small businesses? Corporate Organizations?

Of course you can serve all three eventually, but it is wise to start with a group where you can cut your teeth and establish your authority.

2. Define your vision and write it down.

Here is how you should do this:

Write down a specific number of people you want to help in a given time and what you want to help them achieve.

🚨A deep dive into David Perdue.🚨

Why exactly is Perdue corrupt?

Perdue’s criminality goes WAY back.

Grab a coffee, strap in, and enjoy the rabbit hole.🐰

David Perdue is set to face Jon Ossoff in the Jan 5th runoff for 1 of the 2 Georgia senate seats.

The GA Sen race was close:
- Perdue: 49.7%
- Ossoff: 47.9%

With <100 000 votes being the difference.

Also: @ossoff was right. Let's find out why Perdue cowered out of the debates.

Perdue is insanely rich, with most of his wealth being in his investment profile. It's important to note that Perdue has multiple LLCs he conducts business and investments through.

Most of Ossoff's net worth is from his media company.

Important:

Here’s a snapshot of the companies Perdue directed or owned prior to becoming Senator.

The numbers correspond to different key companies/organizations, which are of significant importance to this thread.

Note: "Present" in the pic is Oct 31, 2013.

To make it easier, I divide this thread into three sections:

1) Before Perdue’s Senate tenure (Pre Jan the 3rd 2015).
2) Senate tenure ( Jan the 3rd 2015 till Jan 2020).
3) Coronavirus period (Jan 2020 till 9th of Dec).

My son died fourteen years ago today. If you’re struggling with the loss of a loved one, I have some promises for you.

I promise this will not always be the first thing you think about in the morning.

I promise you won’t always lie awake at night, sobbing until you can’t breathe.

I promise you will not always feel that hard lump in your throat, like grief is a rock that cannot be moved. It can.

I promise those waves of grief that knock you off your feet will become smaller, less violent. You will be able to stand and let them wash around you, not over you.

Soylent Green is a 1973 American ecological dystopian thriller film depicting a future of dying oceans and year-round humidity due to the greenhouse effect, resulting in suffering from pollution, poverty, overpopulation, euthanasia and depleted resources.

Everything that I’m about to say is coming from someone that has been in the investment management industry for well over two decades now and knows the inner workings of trading and compliance. I also worked for Morgan Stanley early in my career.

1/15

As a registered representative who is fully licensed by FINRA, SEC, and other regulatory agencies, we are tasked with ongoing education, the bulk of which deals with compliance, anti-money laundering and other kinds of malfeasance that may occur while working with clients.2/15

The recent trending of #HunterBiden’s name on Twitter got me thinking back to when #LaptopFromHell was the big story. Some of the material that was released included investment/banking statements that belonged to him. The BD that custodied Hunter’s account was Morgan Stanley.3/15

This is not a conspiracy theory. I’m a believer that there’s truth and then there’s a not quite the truth. Now, every year I must attend a few Anti-Money Laundering (AML) courses to stay current on my continuing education. This is a BIG FUCKING DEAL in the investments world. 4/15

Rarely trust what you hear and always verify everything...including this tweet. MS’s internal trade review desk and other compliance groups SHOULD HAVE FLAGGED Hunter Biden’s accounts for suspicious activity. As far as we know, they didn’t. Why???
