Well, we are back to market volatility. It is time to wake up. Time to grow out of the 6 year slumber.
All those that have bitched about markets just going straight up, well you have your wish, a return towards market normalcy where cleverness will win. Where a trade can go anyway and edges matter.
We no longer have a fed that pump heroine straight into a dragon full of rage. You do however have a wise ole wiz who has done this all well before. ;)
I also have today some special access charts I am going to share with you on Palantir that show its progress in revenue.

Reflection
Gratitude is a transformative lens through which we can view life's journey. When we practice thankfulness, we shift from focusing on what's missing to appreciating what we have. Each challenge and triumph becomes part of a larger narrative of growth and resilience.
Time teaches us that seemingly difficult moments often contain hidden blessings. What once appeared as obstacles can later reveal themselves as crucial turning points that guided us toward unexpected opportunities. Gratitude helps us trust in life's unfolding, recognizing that not everything makes sense immediately, but everything contributes to our personal evolution.
Cultivating thankfulness doesn't mean ignoring hardships, but rather acknowledging them while maintaining hope. It's about finding small moments of beauty, connection, and meaning—even in uncertainty. By practicing gratitude, we develop emotional flexibility and inner peace, understanding that our perspective shapes our experience more than external circumstances.
Ultimately, gratitude is a powerful practice of acceptance. It reminds us that life is not about controlling every outcome, but about embracing the journey with an open heart, trusting that meaningful experiences will emerge over time.
Markets
Let’s start with the textbook education of tariffs -
Tariffs - what the hell are they?
A tariff is essentially a tax imposed by a government on imported goods, typically charged as a percentage of the total value of the imported product or as a fixed fee per unit. Here's a breakdown of how they work:
Basic Mechanism
When goods enter a country, the government charges an additional fee
This fee is paid by the importing company, who typically passes the cost to consumers
The tax increases the final price of the imported product
