I support Mexican travel vouchers as a stimulus package, usable in the country of Mexico by receipt.

$1,000 travel vouchers to every family now

Must spend the money in Mexico with receipt

Cabo San Lucas, Cancun anybody?

 Got to preserve our go to North American spots!

Or you can call these sanctions on the GOP, for dangerous Latino rhetoric the last 5 years.
This could also be the cultural learning experience that the GOP truly is calling for regarding their calls of unity ;)
GOP, put your money where your mouth is and give us $1,000 stimulus packages to Mexico!! If you truly want, unity.
Vouchers accepted in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican republic, Jamaica, and Hawaii.

Florida travel ban, NOW
These sanctions would in effect be a sanction for the state of Florida, some of the most depraved GOP sinister evil racist politicians.
And that ladies and gentlemen, is how you get rid of Matt Gaetz, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis. This is how you truly threaten the year 2022, and further the Senate lead. Positioning for 2024.

I would also hereby sanction the state of Texas.

To punish Ted Cruz

CC @BetoORourke

BCC @tedcruz
The stimulus package would require that no connecting flights can connect in the states of Texas or Florida.

None of the stimulus money can be spent in those states at all.

This is how you put guys like Rick Scott and Ted Cruz in check.

You have to hit them where it hurts
$
These sanctions would in effect, turn the states of Texas and Florida blue in 2024.

I propose this bill by the likes of the following politicians:

@BernieSanders
@AOC
@Hickenlooper
@SenatorBennet
@RepPerlmutter

I ask, as your constituent, please begin to draft the bill📄
This would also lift the airline industry organically, without huge bailouts to GOP stockholders, of the said airline industry.

This will help in the deficit, paying for itself upon completion.

Hear me out:
Money would have to be spent under the rule of the special stimuli
1/3 of that money would go directly back into the airline industry.

then we can take the money that we were going to give the airline industry and put that in the pockets of small business owners

Small business must consist of shops getting a prorate of share based on employees
Shop owners with employees of three or less would receive a high-grade prorate share of the small business stimulus.

4 to 9 employees would be the next slot
at #2

#3, 10 employees to 24 employees

#4 25 employees to 100

The bill would place a tax burden on companies with 100+
The bill would penalize those companies which were caught lowering their employee threshold in order to get the stimuli

Taxes for companies with 1,000 employees or more will go very high

Taxes for companies with 2,500 employees or more will go extremely high

5,000, taxed 2 🌛
That's right, taxed to the moon.

I would call this the Unity Appreciation Culture bill, or #UAC

I bet Microsoft and Bill Gates would also sponsor a relief package, stimulated directly into this bill

It's time to call out the militarized companies during the pandemic and not give them any more money

At last count I heard the military budget was $778 billion dollars during the pandemic

therefore militarized companies which are building weapons of warfare should not be bailed
Why would USA spend $778 billion on the military during a pandemic?

Therefore the UAC bill should have no bailout for companies such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, etc

Boeing would in effect be okay, not by any more bailout money but by the UAC bill

#UAC bill now, please
In order to use the money you would have to present vaccination paperwork, have the antibodies in a negative antibody test, and obviously be covid negative.

They said for so long that Mexico was going to pay for the wall.

I intend for ideas to tear down that virtual wall
People need to get out of their houses

This generates economy with pet sitters, rental car companies, gig economy services, and ultimately pays back to the service industry of people of color.

Travel abroad, change your mind. Travel to the second world, venture to 3rd World
Traveling internationally has mental and psychological benefits. Our children need to get out of the USA in order to understand it better from a larger microscope.

Attached to this bill, could be a conjunction with the department of education. children can learn!
The child's normal classwork would be exempt, provided a report and a collage and a study is presented to the classroom upon return. The teacher could simply announce that "Joe or Jim is out for this week in Mexico", "and today we are going to learn about the Aztec and Mayans"
getting folks out of the house who have the antibodies present in their system or the vaccination is very good for society in whole. There is too much covid shaming and covid stigma. These antibodies should populate, or dare I say, repopulate the Earth.
I would be in favor of creating a bill regarding covid, or tucking it into this #UAC bill, which prevents any further bills having unrelated pandemic bills attached.... In other words, It benefits no one for Raytheon to get stimulus alongside a people's bill, and is unrelated
Any bill which is unrelated to the pandemic should not be voted on in the next two years.

Stimulate the health industry
Stimulate the car industry

Because folks need cars to drive to the hospital.

We just don't need a tomahawk missile right now, completely ineffective.
#UNITYAPPRECIATINGCULTURE #UAC

@AOC,

DO YOU SUPPORT#UAC ?

Let's hit Ted Cruz and Rick Scott where it hurts.

Terry Smith is often referred to as "the English Warren Buffett".

He runs Fundsmith which has a fund size of £27.9bn.

Despite the size, Fundsmith did a CAGR of 18.4%.

In his book Investing for Growth, he explains his investing philosophy.

Here's a breakdown:


1. Fundsmith's winning formula

Find companies that focus on delivering value.

Not those who are looking to pacify Wall Street with short-term results.


2. Avoiding "cheap" companies?

Low multiples are not a reason to buy a company.

A ship will continue to sink if it has a hole in it.

"A stock may have a low valuation but an even lower intrinsic value. Buying such a stock is not a recipe for investment success."


3. Getting quality right

For long-term investors, getting the quality of the business is more important than the valuation.

“An investor could have paid 281 times earnings for L’Oréal, 156 times for Colgate, and 147 times for Brown-Forman and still beat the market.”


4. "Unprofitable" companies could be good investments

Many of the best companies don't show earnings today.

But that's because they're heavily reinvesting for the future.

It's just that the earnings hasn't show up.

1/18 After 3 months, @saffronfinance_ is no longer new on the scene. Now that the kid has climbed the ranks, it's time to see if he can hang with the big boys.

Below are some updated thoughts on potential integrations, improvements, and innovations for Saffron moving forward. ⬇️


2/18 First, if you haven't seen @Privatechad_'s alpha-leaking introductory thread, you should check it out.

I agree that @AlphaFinanceLab and @CreamdotFinance, specifically the Iron Bank, would be ideal targets for SFI risk tranches.


3/18 Speaking more broadly, Saffron is primarily integrated with @compoundfinance, which has served as a MVP of sorts.

The thing is, Compound is one of the safest (but also lowest yield) protocols in DeFi, so it's not surprising that there isn't much demand for the sen. tranche.


4/18 Expanding beyond Compound to higher-risk/higher-return protocols has always been key.

These protocols are the bread-and-butter target market for Saffron, and I would expect to see a surge in demand for senior tranche staking in these


5/18 Additionally, @DeFiGod1 convinced me that Senior Tranche pools would be more appealing if they offered fixed yield.

Essentially, Saffron would augment the product offerings of @Barn_Bridge by also offering senior stakers insurance in the form of junior tranche collateral.

Our intuitions often leads us astray. A good reminder: study counterintuitive math and economic results.

Here are 9 of them 🧵

The Birthday Paradox

In a room of 23 people, there's a >50% chance that 2 people share the same birthday.

This type of probabilistic thinking does *not* come naturally to many people.


The Coastline Paradox

Fractal geometry is also confounding:

The coastline of a landmass does not have a well-defined measurement. As the unit of measurement gets smaller (eg. from KMs to cm), the length increases without limit.


Winner's Curse

In an auction, the winning bid will usually exceed the intrinsic worth of an item leading to a significant overpay (and negative net profit for the winner).


Braess's Paradox

Removing an extra road can make everyone's commute time faster.

Why? The existence of a "fast" road leads to congestion because everyone uses it. If you remove the shortcut, traffic flows better.

What a privilege it was to host @Gautam__Baid for my first ever Twitter Spaces event along with @dadalife369 and @Finvents.

While we wait for the YouTube recording. Here are 8 of my biggest takeaways from today's session.

#investing

1 - Start by coming up with a portfolio allocation strategy based on your aims and objectives for investing. Include flexibility, tracking and rebalancing as part of your strategy.


2 - Learn from those who succeeded before you to ultimately develop your own investing style

Here are three books that influence @Gautam__Baid's investing style - They are some of the best books in investing along with Gautam's The Joys of Compounding.


3 - Develop a robust repository of sources from which you can generate investment ideas.

Here are the ones @Gautam__Baid uses.

It is a super-comprehensive list.


4 - Focus on the process as opposed to the outcomes. This is very important.

Developing a superior process leads to the repeatability of exceptional outcomes.

#DoYouKnow -The place where
Lalitha Sahasranamam -1000 names of Devi originated.

It is in Lalithambigai temple -Thirumeeyachur,Near Mayiladuthurai,TN

There is a Legend #story & it is related to this beautiful #sculpture of Kshetrapuraneswarar & Ambal Lalithambigai #Thread 👇


#Legend #story
It is believed that this is birth place of Kashyapa Maharishi’s sons, Arunan& Garudan. Arunan(charioteer of Surya)was physically handicapped.He was a Shiva devotee.Arunan wanted to visit Kailash to have Shiva Darshan,but Surya Dev denied permission.

So Arunan disguised as a girl & was on his way to Kailash.On the way Surya Dev saw this girl & outraged her modesty.Shiva was very angry with Suryan for misbehaviour & cursed him to get darkened. Whole world plunged into darkness.Surya Dev pleaded to Bhagwan Shiv to forgive him.

Shiva Bhagwan asked him to go to Thirumiyachur & worship him there. As advised, Surya Dev performed rigorous penance, placed murthi of Shiva& Parvathy on an elephant & took them to the clouds.Shiva in this temple is known as Meganathaswamy,Devi is known as Lalithambigai


Even after severe penance,Shiva does appear,so Surya Dev cries out in agony.Disturbed by his call, Parvathy protests.Siva pacifies her & offers relief to Surya Dev.The sculpture of Shiva pacifying Ambal shows her sullen from one angle &smiling from another.

Ever wonder how traders get in stocks before they explode? 🧐

Or find options that move 1,000% in a single day/week?🤯

I made a thread going over exactly how I find these stocks BEFORE they take off 🚀
👇👇👇

So, let's start with the software I use…

Finviz!! Finviz is a free website that I use to scan for stocks.

They have a lot of other cool features as well, but I only use their scanner.
👇

Head on over to finviz and go to the screener

Click on the “All” tab on the top and put in the criteria in the next tweet
👇

This is the first scan that I use for bullish swing setups
✅Quarter +10%
✅Week Down
✅Vol over 400k
✅Optionable
✅Price > $20
👇


The next scan I use is the opposite of the first one.

Simply change:
✅Quarter +10% to -10%
✅Week Down to Week up

This is my bearish scan for swing setups. 👇

One thing that makes this #Khashoggi story difficult to assess when it comes to who's responsible is that there are different factions within Saudi Arabia constantly jockeying for power. It's not one monolithic thing.

Bin Salman heads only one faction.

Mohammad Bin Salman [MbS] not only has to deal with states in the region that want to thwart his plans for Saudi Arabia [SA} & the Middle East [ME] such as Iran, Turkey, Syria, Russia, Quatar...he also has people inside SA itself that don't like his reforms or agenda.

So when the narrative gets presented that "The only way Khashoggi could end up dead is on the direct orders of MbS" you might want to keep this in mind.

There are SEVERAL ways Khashoggi could end up meeting his demise at the hands of Saudis not working on the orders of MbS.

Powerful factions within SA, several of whom do not like the Crown Prince's reforms or the fact he was promoted to his current position ahead of others in the royal family, could have done this in the hopes of pinning it on MbS.

Too many false/fake news stories came out of Turkey in the past week to say anything further. This latest news comes just after it was reported Pompeo heard an audio of the killing that was quickly walked back in less than a day.

A thread on an interesting report by Goldman Sachs' Peter Oppenheimer, the bank's chief global equity strategist. He points out that Goldman's "Bear Market Risk Indicator" is looking ominous.


There are three factors that suggest that the recent stability could evaporate and that equities are "about to enter a sustained bear market", Oppenheimer says.

First is the fact that growth, inflation and interest rate outlook is unfriendly for equities.


Second is that greater volatility, such as multiple corrections and new peaks (which we've seen in 2018) tend to presage a full bear market.


Here is Goldman's data showing how falls and bounces tend to come ahead of "the dramatic final fall".

Bhu Varaha Swamy Temple

Bhu Varaha Swamy temple is a Hindu temple, located at Srimushnam, in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture...


the temple is dedicated to Varaha (Bhu Varaha Swamy), the boar-avatar of the god Vishnu and his consort Lakshmi as Ambujavalli Thayar.

The temple had contributions from Medieval Cholas of the 10th century with later expansions by Thanjavur Nayak king Achuthappa Nayak.


A granite wall surrounds the temple, enclosing all the shrines and the temple tanks. There is a seven-tieredrajagopuram, the temple’s gateway tower.

Six daily rituals and three yearly festivals are held at the temple, of which the Chariot festival....


celebrated during the Tamil month of Vaikasi (April–May), being the most prominent. The festival also symbolises Hindu-Muslim unity in the region – the flag of the chariot is provided by Muslims; they take offerings from the temple and present to Allah in the mosques.
