A Chinese MIT professor explains how financial and prediction markets actually work. Everything you need to understand both. Most people lose money in markets not because they pick wrong - but because they dont understand the structure they're playing against. Who sets prices. How liquidity works. Why derivatives exist. How market makers profit from every trade regardless of direction. This lecture explains the actual mechanics. After it you'll see every Polymarket market differently - not as a bet, but as a pricing problem with a correct answer that the crowd hasn't found yet. That gap between the crowd's price and the correct price is where money gets made. One hour. Jake Xia. MIT. Bookmark this.

This MIT lecture is the skeleton key to understanding markets. Andrew Lo, the man who built Adaptive Markets, breaks down why the "efficient markets" story you were taught is incomplete. Markets are not machines. They are ecosystems. And ecosystems do not care about your model. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.

Peter Thiel: “Buzzwords are a tell, like in poker, that the company is bluffing and undifferentiated” “I think all trends are overrated… if you hear the words ‘big data’ and ‘cloud computing’, you need to run away as fast as you possibly can. Just think ‘fraud’ and run away… All these buzzwords are a tell—like in poker—that the company is bluffing and undifferentiated… I think the things that are underrated are the ones where there are no buzzwords and it doesn’t actually fit into any pre-existing categories” Video Source: This Week in Startups

My podcast with Luke Gromen is up this morning. We talked about the crosscurrents of the Fourth Turning, how that feeds into financial markets, and the impacts of AI. You can find it in the usual places.

[Talking about self-worth and insecurities] 👨🏻‍🚀: I want everyone who has ever felt like they weren't pretty, they weren't attractive, they weren't good looking, they weren't strong enough, they had insecurities, or that they might feel like they're exploding from overthinking. And I'm not talking about one of these six, i'm talking about all of them. If you have ever had a situation where felt all six of these, I want you guys to type 1 into the chat. 👨🏻‍🚀: So, the point of that experiment wasn't to invalidate what you're feeling, because you're valid for feeling that. I think that is a common human emotion that we all have a problem we're dealing with. Our insecurities are the things that make us lash out, make us feel like we're not enough. And the thing about it, is no matter how rich you are, no matter how handsome you are, no matter how pretty you are, no matter how strong you are, no matter how great you are, no matter how intelligent you are, no matter how competent you are, there's always gonna be moments where this comes to you and I think the best thing to think in this situation is that yes i'm feeling this things, to validate yourself. You're not wrong for feeling this way. There's nothing wrong with you. Everyone feels this. 👨🏻‍🚀: But, during those times, i think it is very important to remember the moments in your life where you did feel worthy. Where you felt like you were just enough for that one person that you're talking to. Or you felt like you aced in a certain exam or you did really well in one thing. I think you remember those moments and then you push on for more of those moments so that eventually, in your life, you stop thinking about things that- or situation that made you think you're not worthy and start pondering more , recycling more of things that made you feel worthy. yunamseng?

No wonder this scene always comes up when people talk about super speed. The fact that the characters actually interact with the stagnant rain droplets is insane. I genuinely don't know how they pulled this off in 2006

Coco Gauff on the issue of prize money at Slams: “There’s this ongoing issue about players and prize money and how much the ratio between revenue and prize money there is at Slams.. just wondering how you feel at the moment about that topic? How much has the AO given into the prize money issue? Are you content with how things are progressing or not?” Coco: “They obviously increased the prize money this year, but the percentage I think of revenue comparison is not where we would like it. I think there are still further conversations that have to be had. Not just with Australian Open, but with all the Slams." Coco: “The collective feeling is that, yes, there's been progress, but I still think it’s not where we'd like to see it. But we are grateful for the progress that's been made." (via Australian Open Press)

🙉🙈PAUL ATKINS & KEN GRIFFIN Paul Atkins how about you start protecting markets from Ken Griffin Citadel Securities and maybe more companies would want to go public 🤔 Right now small companies go public and they are fed to the Sharks with zero protection or enforcement. Quarterly earnings is not the problem it's the market manipulation that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission seems to ignore. It's not a new day at the SEC if you don't start holding accountable those who LIE, CHEAT AND STEAL IT'S NOT RETAIL MANIPULATING THE MARKETS

How to Open the Model Y Rear Doors in an Emergency This is a issue I hear a lot about so I thought I'd do a brief informational video about how to open rear doors in a Tesla Model Y in case of emergency and the electric door opening switches are not functional. I hear this enough that I think this is a subject you might want to let passengers or family members know about. It's pretty easy, but if you haven't seen this before, it might not be obvious in an emergency. I do know Tesla is looking into a design chance for this but I am not sure when this will be incorporated.

$NXXT closed yesterday at $0.3697, up 14.42%. This morning it is already at $0.3888 in premarket, up another 5.17%. That puts the stock nearly 20% higher versus where it closed before yesterday’s run started. That is how momentum starts. Now add the bigger backdrop: energy markets are tense, earnings are expected soon, and the market is looking for names that could benefit from stronger fuel pricing. If NXXT keeps this pressure on through the open, traders are going to notice. A strong close followed by a strong premarket is not random. It is a setup. High risk. Highly speculative. But clearly active. Not financial advice.

Something significant is happening in Nigerian markets: Chinese traders are rapidly opening wholesale and retail stores, and local traders are clearly unhappy about it. Small-scale business owners have been raising the alarm about this for months. A similar situation unfolded in Ghana about ten years ago, and that is how they ended up completely taking over the local markets there. This is not unique to Nigeria. Across Africa, Chinese and Indian businesses are steadily entering our markets and gradually taking them over. We must be watchful
