Thabo Cele and Lebo Maboe double pivot vs Polokwane City๐Ÿ“ The level of organisation, discipline, and resistance was completely different compared to our games vs Magesi, Orbit or TS Galaxy and that matters when analyzing performance. And, before even getting into the Maboeโ€“Cele double pivot, itโ€™s important to address the front 3. Trying to impose a possession-based approach with Lilepo, Duba, and Silva is, at this stage, a bit unrealistic. The profiles donโ€™t naturally support sustained control or efficiency in tight spaces; they are more direct, which makes the approach look slightly disconnected. Otherwise, who should combine with the double pivot to keep possession against a low block cos you're not inverting any fullbacks or CBs? Mdu[10] is also direct and wonโ€™t drop deep into ball circulation. โ–  The midfield pairing of Cele & Maboe gave the team a clear structural balance in the 1st and 2nd phase, even if the chemistry is still far off. I mean, it's their 1st start together so๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ Cele operated as a holding midfielder, anchoring the team behind/next to Maboe. He took on most of the defensive responsibility, well-positioned to screen the backline, and effective in managing transitions. โ–  In possession, Cele was central to the 1st and 2nd phase of progression. He completed more passes than Plk Cityโ€™s midfield duo of Kambala and Maphangule combined while also neutralising their 10 Mutudza. Mutudza managed just 5 passes in 66 minutes, which says everything about Celeโ€™s dominance in that zone. He constantly made himself available in front of the CBs, scanning, managing the tempo, and organising the teamโ€™s structure. He always demanded movement from his teammates, always pointing to open spaces they should be occupying to progress better. At one point, he was calling Mdu to receive while Mdu was instead making a forward run away from Cele who had the ball. Cele didnโ€™t force progression unnecessarily, but that doesnโ€™t mean he lacked intent to move the team forward. He completed more line breaking passes and passes into the final 3rd than any other player. That highlights his awareness of when to accelerate play and when to maintain control. โ–  Maboe, on the other hand, operated as the 8, with freedom to impact higher zones. With Cele securing the base, he was free to connect phases and influence play closer to the final 3rd. However, you could still see old habits from his previous role. He often dropped deeper than expected, which slightly limited his presence in decisive attacking areas. As much as he played balls into the final 3rd, we also needed him to receive in the final 3rd more. โ–  Together, Cele and Maboe created 5 chances against a very disciplined low block of Plk City. 4 of those came from Maboe, underlining how much creative responsibility he still carried. However, this wasnโ€™t his sharpest attacking performance in terms of passing and shooting. Despite the output in chances created, there were several misplaced passes in key moments, and he didnโ€™t attack the box enough for an 8 with a reliable 6 behind him. Itโ€™s a similar issue we had with Mdu yesterday, he also struggled to consistently enter the opposition box as usual or combine between the lines. There was a clear lack of chemistry in the final 3rd in our overall performance. We couldn't stay on the ball enough to put pressure on their defense and cause enough panic for them to crack. โ–  Towards midway through the 2nd Half, both Cele & Maboe started to lose some steam, and the pairing needed refreshing. At this point, Plk City had already overloaded the middle and allowed very little space for us to operate. We failed the same way in the loss vs Stellies, they improved their midfield to cancel our dominance, and we looked confused with our subs, no clear intention to improve a clear area that's been neutralized. Our struggles were not in the double pivot. There was nothing result-altering or structurally wrong with Maboe & Cele. [Video] Part 1:

I hereby continue with my campaign and here is day 4 of trying to convince Manchester City to sign Anis Hadj Moussa. Now, let's talk about him (informal scouting report), a player I have been hyping for days and who, I believe provides us the perfect balance of instant impact and upside potential. According to what I have seen, he profiles as an explosive, direct attacker with elite one-versus-one dribbling ability and a strong goalscoring threat from wide areas. His game is built around carrying the ball into dangerous positions, cutting inside onto his stronger left foot, and either shooting or creating chances for teammates. Does that sound familiar to my fellow City fans? Playing Style and Tactical Role: - Functions best as a right-sided inside forward in possession-based systems that allow him freedom to drift infield and attack spaces between the lines. - When receiving the ball in the final third, his first instincts are typically to drive forward with dribbles or look for shooting opportunities. - One thing to note is that his progressive carrying is exceptional, ranking in the 93rd percentile among comparable wingers, which makes him an effective ball-progressor from wide areas. - While primarily a goal threat, he also ranks above average for progressive passes and dangerous passes, indicating he can link play and provide for teammates, though this remains a secondary skill compared to his dribbling and shooting. Let's discuss his strengths: 1. 1v1 Dribbling: - Possesses elite ball control and the ability to beat defenders in tight spaces. - His unpredictable changes of pace and direction make him extremely difficult to mark in isolation. - Ranks in the 84th percentile for successful take-ons and consistently completes dribbles at a high rate. 2. Progressive Ball Carrying: - His capacity to drive forward with the ball and break defensive lines is among his standout attributes. - Ranking in the 93rd percentile for progressive carries, he consistently advances play from wide areas into the final third. 3. Final Third Threat: - Ranks in the 96th percentile for touches in the attacking penalty area and the 89th percentile for non-penalty goals per 90 minutes. 4. Set-Piece Delivery: - Offers additional creative value through accurate corner and free-kick delivery, adding another dimension to his attacking contribution. 5. Chance Creation: - He ranks in the 96th percentile for chances created, highlighting his ability to generate scoring opportunities for teammates in addition to his own goal threat. Now, the weaknesses. 1. Defensive Work Rate: - His defensive contributions rank in the 7th percentile, indicating limited involvement in tracking back, pressing, and defensive positioning. - His defensive numbers are generally below average, though his defensive duel success rate remains solid. This is an area with significant room for improvement and Maresca would have to work a lot with him on that aspect. 2. Aerial Duels: - He ranks in the 34th percentile for aerial duels won, limiting his effectiveness both offensively and defensively in aerial situations. 3. Pass Completion and Build-up Involvement: - His pass completion rate ranks in the 21st percentile at approximately 67.9 percent, reflecting inconsistency in build-up play. - This is partly a symptom of his direct attacking style, which prioritizes forward carries and shots over safe circulation, but it can limit his effectiveness in systems requiring high possession retention. An area of massive improvement. 4. Tactical Discipline - Still developing his off-ball movement and understanding of defensive shape. - His positioning when not in possession can be inconsistent, and he occasionally loses track of overlapping fullbacks. Elite coaching can help improve this aspect. My honest opinion (executive summary): Moussa is a high-upside, left-footed right winger (which is what we need) with elite one-versus-one dribbling, exceptional progressive carrying, and a proven goalscoring threat from wide areas. He is ideally suited to possession-based systems that value direct attacking play (vertical patterns) and can benefit from his ability to break down low-block defenses (should I talk further about low-blocks to a City fan, eh?) I believe that his primary areas for development lie in defensive work rate, pass completion in build-up phases, and tactical discipline when out of possession, however, he would be an amazing addition to our squad.

Did you enjoy today? ๐Ÿ˜… Alonso ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ: โ€œIn the end, I enjoyed all the wins a lot. But again, there were different moments and different feelings. Ultimately, weโ€™re happy with the result. โ€œWe value this win a lot against a very good opponent โ€” one that has been tough for us in recent years. โ€œThere were moments when we did really well and other moments that showed this is still a process. Weโ€™re continuing to learn about ourselves and improve. Normally, itโ€™s easier to do that after a win.โ€ ๐ŸŒ€ Reporter: What can you tell us about Moisรฉs Caicedo? Was it the same problem or something new? ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿš‘ Alonso ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ: โ€œHopefully itโ€™s nothing serious. It wasnโ€™t something new and it wasnโ€™t worse than last time. He was cautious enough to stop and say that the feeling wasnโ€™t the best. โ€œWe need to assess him during the week.โ€ ๐ŸŒ€ Reporter: Pedro Neto tapped the Chelsea badge after scoring. Can you guarantee heโ€™ll still be here after the transfer deadline? ๐Ÿ”ต๐Ÿ‘€ Alonso ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ: โ€œYou know, in football, I donโ€™t guarantee anything about anyone. โ€œBut I was very happy with Pedro. He did really well and played with a lot of energy. Heโ€™s going to be very important for the team throughout the season because he has different, special qualities. โ€œHeโ€™s a threat one-v-one, attacks space very well and is strong and competitive. Iโ€™m happy he scored. He was very close to scoring another one. Iโ€™m very happy with Pedro.โ€ ๐ŸŒ€ Reporter: Chelsea had only 25% possession today after 38% against Fulham. Is this the type of transitional Chelsea you want? ๐Ÿ“Š Alonso ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ: โ€œNo. For me, every piece of data needs context. โ€œAfter 30 minutes, we were 3โ€“0 up. Probably from that moment, we played too much with the result instead of continuing to play. โ€œThe data isnโ€™t whatโ€™s important. What matters is how you play and what you can do better. My approach isnโ€™t to say, โ€˜Today we need 60% possession or 20%.โ€™ โ€œI never talk about those things. Itโ€™s about how we prepare and how we become more competitive. โ€œThere were different moments in the game. There were periods when we did really, really well and other moments when we could have done better.โ€ ๐ŸŒ€ Reporter: When you say Chelsea started โ€˜playing the resultโ€™ at 3โ€“0, was that complacency? ๐Ÿง  Alonso ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ: โ€œNo. I would say itโ€™s quite normal. It happens with many teams. โ€œTeams that have worked together and played more games together usually have a better understanding of how to manage those moments. We are still in that process. โ€œIโ€™m sure that in the future weโ€™ll manage those situations better. Even at 3โ€“1 at half-time, I told the players: โ€˜Guys, a two-goal lead in the Premier League โ€” we still need to focus on playing, scoring goals and defending well.โ€™ โ€œAfterwards, we could have scored a fifth. Many things happened during the game.โ€ ๐ŸŒ€ Reporter: Emiliano Martรญnez went straight into the starting XI. Did you have any concerns throwing him straight in? ๐Ÿงค๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท Alonso ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ: โ€œWith Emi, heโ€™s 34 years old and has experience from all around. โ€œI spoke with him yesterday. We talked about the game and about our team, and he felt ready. I donโ€™t have to tell him many things for him to perform. โ€œOf course, a goalkeeper always wants a clean sheet, but Iโ€™m happy with his first impact. He had only been in the building for 48 hours. โ€œNow weโ€™ll have the whole week to prepare for the next game. Day by day, weโ€™ll feel his presence because he has that charisma and aura to influence and establish a very positive connection with the rest of the team.โ€ ๐ŸŒ€ Reporter: And what happens with Robert Sรกnchez now that he wasnโ€™t in the squad? ๐Ÿ”„ Alonso ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ: The supplied transcript does not contain a separate answer addressing Sรกnchezโ€™s future.

For the record, I am much more of a college basketball enthusiast than an NBA Draft expert. One thing that has stood out to me throughout this draft cycle, however, is how little Richie Saunders has been discussed relative to his production. Obviously, age, injury concerns, and a lack of elite physical tools have all limited his draft buzz. Those concerns are fair. Still, Saunders was nothing short of one of the most productive and efficient scorers in college basketball last season. Richie Saunders was one of only 10 Power Conference players last season to post a True Shooting Percentage of at least 63% while attempting 8.5 or more three-pointers per 40 minutes. Among that group, he ranked second in points per 40 minutes. Additionally, Saunders was one of only two players in that same group to also post a Free Throw Attempt Rate of at least 35%, highlighting not only his perimeter shooting ability but also his effectiveness at generating rim pressure. He also finished an impressive 67% of his attempts at the rim. The combination of high-volume shooting, elite efficiency, and consistent rim pressure provides a strong statistical foundation for his NBA projection. Saunders projects as a prototypical floor-spacing possession finisher at the NBA level. An overwhelming 90.5% of his field goal attempts last season came either at the rim or from beyond the three-point line, reflecting the type of shot profile NBA teams covet for his archetype. While Saunders was assisted on the majority of his made baskets, the numbers do not suggest a player who is completely dependent on others to create offense. 34.1% of his made two-point field goals were assisted (64th percentile) and 92.2% of his made three-pointers were assisted (65th percentile), reinforcing his projection as a high-level off-ball floor spacer. Saunders also converted 44.1% of his corner three-point attempts, another indicator that his shooting should translate well to an NBA role. Defense is unlikely to be Saunders' calling card at the next level, but there are indicators that suggest he can hold his own. While steal percentage can sometimes be misleading, Saunders posted a strong 3.1% STL%, which, when paired with his reported +5-inch wingspan, points toward solid anticipation and the ability to disrupt passing lanes on the perimeter. Additionally, his 0.93x Personal Foul Efficiency (90th percentile) is noteworthy. Saunders consistently avoided unnecessary fouls while remaining engaged defensively, a valuable trait for role players expected to stay on the floor. When projecting Saunders' offensive role, players such as Cameron Johnson, AJ Green, Max Strus, and Will Richard come to mind. This comparison is not necessarily about overall talent level, but rather the archetype: floor-spacing wings who thrive playing alongside higher-usage creators, make quick decisions, punish defensive mistakes, and provide offensive value without requiring heavy on-ball responsibility. With Saunders on the floor, BYU was better in nearly every meaningful offensive category. Most notably the following listed below. On/Off ORTG: 125.3/114.3 TS%: 59.6%/56.9% A:T Ratio: 1.39/1.06 The offensive improvements are significant, but what may be even more impressive is Saunders' ability to elevate the players around him. There may be no better example than fellow BYU star and potential No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa. Dybantsa saw increases in TS%, 2P%, 3P%, and FTAr when sharing the floor with Saunders, illustrating the value of Saunders' spacing, gravity, and willingness to play within a complementary role. Elite complementary players are difficult to find, and Saunders consistently demonstrated an ability to make life easier for those around him. Saunders' floor-spacing ability is amplified by the speed of his release and his willingness to fire immediately off the catch. His ability to quickly get into his shot forces defenses to close out aggressively, creating additional opportunities for him to attack off the bounce. When defenders run him off the line, Saunders does an excellent job leveraging his shooting gravity to create straight-line drives to the rim. While he may not possess elite burst, he consistently capitalizes on defensive overreactions and attacks open space effectively. As someone who primarily evaluates college basketball rather than NBA draft boards, Richie Saunders has been one of the more surprising cases of this draft cycle. The concerns are understandable. He's older than the typical prospect, suffered a significant injury, and doesn't possess the type of elite physical tools that usually drive draft buzz. At the same time, it's difficult to ignore what Saunders actually produced on the court. He was one of the most efficient high-volume scorers in college basketball, combining elite shooting volume, strong rim finishing, and an ability to generate free throws at a level rarely seen from players who occupy a similar offensive role. His shot profile, floor-spacing ability, and offensive efficiency all align with the types of complementary wings that continue to carve out long NBA careers. Saunders may never be a primary creator or a player offenses are built around, but the NBA has consistently found value in wings who can space the floor, attack closeouts, make quick decisions, and fit seamlessly alongside stars. Whether he ultimately hears his name called in the late first round, second round, or enters the league through a two-way contract, Saunders feels like the type of prospect whose production and NBA-ready skill set could allow him to outperform his draft slot.

๐ŸšจEPSTEIN FILES STATE THE CREATED NEANDERTHALS CLONES Clones of Neanderthals were created in underground tunnels as stated in the Epstein files released by the DOJ government in 2026. It is impossible to ignore the truth at this point. The truth is stranger than fiction and we have not heard anything stranger than this happening in real life. Per Charlie T Griffen The first studies of Neanderthal DNA focused on the genetic sequences of mitochondria, the microscopic organelles that convert food to energy within cells. In 2005, however, 454 began a collaborative project with the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, Germany, to sequence the full genetic code of a Neanderthal woman who died in Croatia's Vindija cave 30,000 years ago. As the Neanderthal genome is painstakingly sequenced, the archaeologists and biologists who study it will be faced with an opportunity that seemed like science fiction just 10 years ago. They will be able to look at the genetic blueprint of humankind's nearest relative and understand its biology as intimately as our own. In addition to giving scientists the ability to answer questions about Neanderthals' relationship to our own species--did we interbreed, are we separate species, who was smarter--the Neanderthal genome may be useful in researching medical treatments. Newly developed techniques could make cloning Neanderthal cells or body parts a reality within a few years. The ability to use the genes of extinct hominins is going to force the field of paleoanthropology into some unfamiliar ethical territory. There are still technical obstacles, but soon it could be possible to use that long-extinct genome to safely create a healthy, living Neanderthal clone. Should it be done? At the 454 Life Sciences offices, Gerald Irzyk, Jason Affourtit, and Thomas Jarvie explain the process they use to read the chemicals that made up Neanderthal DNA and the genes that determined a large part of their biology. DNA has a shape, called a double helix, that makes it look like a twisted ladder. Each rung on the ladder is called a base-pair. The rungs are made up of a pair of chemicals called nucleotides--adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine, which are usually referred to by their first initials. The sequence of the nucleotides in the DNA determines what genes an organism has and how they function. Max Planck Institute initially chose 454 because it had come up with a way to read hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences at a time. Genome-sequencing technology is advancing at a rate comparable to computer processing power. Putting the fragments themselves in order can be a little tricky. "At first glance, it's just this completely random assemblage of As, Ts, Cs, and Gs," says Irzyk. "But it turns out there are patterns and motifs, and sometimes these are very specific to a group of organisms." For the Neanderthal sample, the human and chimpanzee genomes were used as references for checking the sequence. Working with ancient DNA can be much more problematic than sequencing genetic material from living species. Within hours of death, cells begin to break down in a process called apoptosis. The dying cells release enzymes that chop up DNA into tiny pieces. In a human cell, this means that the entire three-billion-base-pair genome is reduced to fragments a few hundred base-pairs long or shorter. The DNA also goes through chemical changes that alter the nucleotides as it ages--C changes into T, and G turns into A--which can cause the gene sequence to be interpreted incorrectly. In the case of the Neanderthal sample, somewhere between 90 and 99 percent of the DNA came from bacteria and other contaminants that had found their way into the bone as it sat in the ground and in storage. The contaminant DNA has to be identified and eliminated. Given the similarity between Neanderthal and modern human DNA, this can be especially difficult when the contamination comes from the people who excavated or analyzed the bone.

Yeah, Ordinals and Runes are back, and guess what? Shill_raton is back too, lmao. ๐Ÿ”ฅ Runes-Fudders punching the air right now. ๐Ÿ˜ก SO WHICH RUNES TO BUY ?!?!? FOMO!??! If you read my TOKEN2049 post a few days ago, youโ€™d have seen it was a perfect indicator and buying opportunity. (especially the mentioned ones: Billy Cat, DOG and Pizza Ninjas) Ofc, weโ€™re not fully back yetโ€”just a small light shining on us. Itโ€™s still early days, but we were really down bad, and any Runes shill tweet over the past weeks was pure hopium. No surprise that 90% of the Runes collections didnโ€™t survive the post-capitulation phase. But to those that didโ€”congrats! So, whatโ€™s the plan? If you held top Runes through capitulation? Awesome, keep holding. Youโ€™ve already endured the worst, havenโ€™t you? If you're looking to stack top Runes? Be cautious, but go for it. Just make sure youโ€™re picking the ones that are getting the most attention/volume/engagement or are about to. Otherwise: STAY LIQUID. New Runes are going to pop up very soon, with strong teams and high quality. Be ready to mint when they hit, but cautiously. If you lock your liquidity, you will just fud and cope about new RUNES success. These new Runes will have it much easier to grab attention. I met several teams at TOKEN2049 who have been preparing for this trend switch for months. Top Ordinals collections should be in for a feast soon, too. Hold onto them. My call to everyone: Work for your bags. Shill like a siren. The Ordinals/Runes space is small, and our voices are tiny in this tight-knit BTC village. Support each otherโ€™s tweets (RT/like/comment), multiply attention, and stop the PVP nonsenseโ€”itโ€™s outdated and simply stupid at this point. Quick TL;DR on the top Runes: (in no specific bag order, but you know my favs eitherway) - DOGโ€ขGOโ€ขTOโ€ขTHEโ€ขMOON BTC classic meme, #3 etched Rune. Finally, more shillers than just Leonidas ๐Ÿงก $DOG. Best shot at leading the new run and hitting a 1 BLN market cap, and potentially getting a T1 CEX listing. - BILLIONโ€ขDOLLARโ€ขCAT Billy ๐Ÿฑ Best branding, content and marketing, most visible at IRL events. Strong bounce last week, and community support is still amazing. - PUPSโ€ขWORLDโ€ขPEACE Pups ๐ŸŒŽโ˜ฎ๏ธ BTC OG meme, known also on SOL, now bridged to SOL (again - potentially more liquid this way). Far from ATH but has a dedicated community. - RSICโ€ขGENESISโ€ขRUNE Runecoin โ–ฃโ›๏ธ A key pre-Runes project. The teamโ€™s been quiet (AGAIN) for weeks, and hopium is VERY low. If they donโ€™t act now, it could be joever. - WADDLEโ€ขWADDLEโ€ขPENGU Waddle Waddle Pengu Simple, normie-friendly, wholesome, with a strong leader Cold Blooded Shiller (one of the best crypto-traders and partnership hunters) - LOBOโ€ขTHEโ€ขWOLFโ€ขPUP LOBOโ€ขTHEโ€ขWOLFโ€ขPUP A beta DOG play with VC money (not a bad thing lol) backing it - DECENTRALIZED โšก๏ธDECENTRALIZED Community Take Over (CTO); #2 etched Rune. Needs way more community unification stronger leadership to break out. - WANKOโ€ขMANKOโ€ขRUNES WankoManko OG Runes and very unique Furry-meme, practically created by Casey himself. Only Rune soft-shilled by him (and Erin). Dropped heavily from ATH, but the team is strong and working closely with AI tech ( , BOOTOSHI ๐Ÿ‘‘ ) - SATOSHIโ€ขNAKAMOTO Strong ticker, but no known team. Premine still sitting in their wallet and burned a lot of people post-halving. - LIQUIDIUMโ€ขTOKEN Liquidium | Bitcoin Loans Utility Rune, down significantly from release and investor seed round (70m valuation). Still one of the best DeFi platforms on Bitcoin. - EPICโ€ขEPICโ€ขEPICโ€ขEPIC Rune etched on the EPIC sat.

๐Ÿšจ DR. WILLIAM MAKIS SAYS THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT IVERMECTIN DOSING GRAPH HE'S CREATED. Not a new chemotherapy drug. Not a breakthrough immunotherapy. Not a billion-dollar cancer treatment. Just one simple dosing strategy. According to Dr. William Makis, this is the dosing framework he believes everyone researching repurposed medicines for cancer should understand first. And it all starts with one number. ๐Ÿ“Œ 1 mg/kg/day. Before explaining why, here's the dosing framework Dr. Makis discusses. ๐Ÿ“Š The Four Ivermectin Dosing Ranges ๐ŸŸข Low Dose: โ‰ค0.5 mg/kg/day Used for cancers in remission, strong family history, genetic predisposition, prophylaxis, and lower-dose protocols discussed in published case reports. ๐ŸŸก Medium Dose: 1.0 mg/kg/day Dr. Makis' recommended starting dose for most cancers. ๐Ÿ”ต High Dose: 2.0 mg/kg/day Discussed for very aggressive cancers, including leukaemia, pancreatic cancer, and some brain cancers. ๐Ÿ”ด Very High Dose: โ‰ฅ2.5 mg/kg/day Discussed in selected reported cases involving extensive metastatic disease or extremely poor prognosis, where temporary visual side effects have also been reported. Now here's why Dr. Makis believes 1 mg/kg/day deserves the most attention. After reviewing laboratory research, published studies, and numerous case reports, he says this is the starting dose he recommends for most cancers. According to Dr. Makis, research has investigated Ivermectin across a surprisingly wide range of cancers, including: โ€ข Breast cancer โ€ข Colon cancer โ€ข Lung cancer โ€ข Pancreatic cancer โ€ข Kidney (renal cell) cancer โ€ข Gastric cancer โ€ข Leukemia One exception stood out. Lymphoma. Dr. Makis says he has found very little published research involving Ivermectin and lymphoma. That doesn't mean it doesn't work. It simply means the evidence is currently limited. โ“What does 1 mg/kg/day actually look like? For someone weighing 60 kg (132 lbs)... That's approximately 60 mg of Ivermectin every day. Equivalent to: ๐Ÿ’Š Five 12 mg tablets OR ๐Ÿ’ง About 6 mL of liquid Ivermectin, roughly one teaspoon. According to Dr. Makis, that's where he recommends starting for many cancers. Can lower doses still have an effect? โœ… He believes they can. Dr. Makis discusses a published ovarian cancer case reported by Dr. Tess Lawrie. The dosing chart lists the patient as receiving 12 mg of Ivermectin per day. During his discussion, Dr. Makis explains that this was approximately 0.2 mg/kg/day, placing it within the chart's Low Dose (โ‰ค0.5 mg/kg/day) range. ๐Ÿ“‰ According to the case report, the patient's CA125 tumor marker reportedly fell from 288 to 22 after two months. That case is one reason Dr. Makis believes Ivermectin may have anticancer activity even at lower doses. However... He also believes the available evidence suggests the effect is dose dependent. In other words... Higher doses may produce greater effects, although more clinical research is needed. What about the most aggressive cancers? โ€ข Pancreatic cancer โ€ข Leukemia โ€ข Brain cancer For cancers like these, Dr. Makis discusses doses around 2 mg/kg/day in selected situations. He notes that Ivermectin crosses the blood-brain barrier, although not very efficiently, which is one reason he says higher doses may be considered for some brain cancers. He also discusses a case reported by Dr. Allan Landrito. According to Dr. Makis, a physician with terminal gallbladder cancer reportedly took 2 mg/kg/day for 14 months. He says her cancer eventually disappeared. She experienced temporary visual side effects that resolved after a few days. โ“How high have reported doses gone? According to Dr. Makis, he has seen reported doses as high as 2.5 mg/kg/day. He references patients treated by Dr. Shankara Chetty who reportedly used those doses without long-term side effects, although some experienced temporary visual disturbances that later resolved. One point Dr. Makis returns to repeatedly... Long-term use. He references the Castro study involving children with leukemia who reportedly received Ivermectin for six months without long-term side effects. He also discusses anecdotal reports of adults taking it daily for more than a year without long-term toxicity. So why aren't there larger cancer trials? Dr. Makis believes one of the biggest obstacles is economics. Because Ivermectin is an off-patent generic medicine, he argues there is little financial incentive to fund large clinical trials. Whether future research ultimately confirms or challenges these ideas remains to be seen. But Dr. Makis' message is remarkably simple. One graph. One dosing strategy. One starting point. ๐Ÿ“Œ 1 mg/kg/day. Because the conversation isn't just about Ivermectin anymore. It's about whether repurposed drugs deserve the same level of scientific investigation as newer therapies. ๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ Do you think inexpensive repurposed medicines like Ivermectin deserve larger, well-designed clinical trials for cancer? ๐Ÿ”– Save this post so you'll always have Dr. Makis' dosing framework handy, and repost it to help others discover the ongoing research into repurposed medicines. ๐Ÿ’Š Looking for pharmaceutical grade Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, or Mebendazole?

๐Ÿฆ˜๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บMy take on Ange Postecoglou. If you disagree, that's fine. Freedom of speech, your opinion might be listened to or not. Mine is, I know by who. That's what I care about. ๐ŸŒPostecoglou has coached every age group at national / international level on 3 continents. That's inspirational and commands respect, if he was to be found out, as he said, he'd have been a long time ago like these former pros who cry because they get a U19 team relegated (ask me the names). ๐Ÿค“From a footballing standpoint, he's not making up theoretical shit like all these nerds jumping up on the Pro License barely coaching a team; and scrambling to figure out the reality of the sport/people in Phase 2, 3 doing the polar opposite to what they told everyone they'd do. ๐Ÿง The football Postecoglou sets up has room for decision making within a structure which is an extraordinary achievement from a coaching standpoint, and what every coach in the world should aspire to do. Ajax or Netherlands 1974, Nantes 1995, Rijkaard's Barcelona, Wenger's Arsenal. If you like "good football" , this is good football. If you want to win, pay more and get the best players. The correlation is right there. ๐Ÿ”There's rotations everywhere (think triangles who tilt, carrier and two options short/long), and players have 2-3 options everytime. The right balance between combinations into feet and third man runs (third man runs are vital - and often forgotten when nerds coach teams and have a control kink) ๐ŸซกFor that, you need a club culture of empowered players caring about the common good ; and also good enough to act selflessly to what the game demands (and actually execute it). โš–๏ธThe challenge is that bang average off the mill pros do what they're told, can't do most things. And ones who can't do play the solo card - football is an individual sport masquerading as a team sport. ๐Ÿ‘€I can confidently second guess that the hesitation in collective movement suggest they're thinking in real time and not going "by the book" (which is microwave coaching). ๐Ÿ‘ฅHow often Postecoglou talks about culture, turning up together for a meal before games. Old school, but actually grounded. This isn't a startup or UberEats. ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธThere's a handful of adults coaching Premier League teams. Slot maybe, Howe, Emery, Frank, Glasner, Moyes, McKenna who value the holistic composition of performance: squad chemistry, work ethic, managing people and treating them as adults. Coincidence or not, I rate all of them. Coincidence, they all overperfom with the resources they have. ๐ŸšฉDefensively, the idea to hold a high line can make sense on the occasion. Most of you don't work in football. People who do know the biggest paradox in the modern age is that lot of players are outstanding to think smart and execute fast in high pressure situations; yet are out of their depth when they have time and space to think. ๐ŸซฃChelsea 11v9 took half an hour to break down 9 fuckers on halfway line, and people know how badly it reflected on one of the worst assemblage of players ever seen pound for pound. And that's not Postecoglou's team. Then again, listen to who you want. I've done it too. 9v11 winning 5-2 from 2-1 down at National level whilst the other team was spamming diagonals out of play. ๐Ÿš‘The injury crisis is worrying, but it's also a vicious circle. Majority of clubs nowadays sign players to replace injured players. If you get one or two key players injured by the extreme random demands of the game (facing a Haaland, Jackson etc... stretches your CBs to the limit - Van de Ven got muscular in game injury like Rodri got injured like Fofana got injured). ๐Ÿš๐Ÿ’ฐI don't think the training methods are in question; not should they be questioned more than Pep or Maresca's who can actually afford to get replacement brought in (and still get injuries) - and never get questioned. Spurs play Gray at CB. Chelsea can afford to call Chaloback, or City sign another 40 million a piece CB. ๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธSpurs lost Kane and finished 5th, like nothing happened. That's outstanding. ๐Ÿ“ผโ›ณ๏ธTraining clip: possession box to create the moment to change gear and find a striker dropping off the front. What happens then is a "wave" 3v2, with decision making. Drive diagonally, straight pass for diagonal runs. Affordances (what players perceive they can play) and match realism. See the cut off corners to guarantee runs going towards goal. Can't be more modern, evidence based, empowering, enjoyable and football realistic. ๐ŸŸ๏ธ๐ŸŽž๏ธGame footage: look how they're using each pass as a timeline to allow a third man popping up in space. Good reaction on turnover. See another triangle being created, with players selflessly filling in the tips of the triangle even rotating. Matar Sarr gets sucked into the space, puts an outstanding goalmouth delivery with presence and bodies in the box - especially at the far post. Brennan who everyone called a flop. Tremendous, organic (= player led) output. What you can do = the team's outlook. โšฝ๏ธI'm talking football there, not theory, not pattern playbook, not fiscal optimisation. ๐Ÿ“ŠSpurs are working on relative budget. Don't budget CL football. Spend 40% turnover on wages, when Chelsea's etc... are 70% or Leicester 120%. ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ’‰It's like the only clean horse in a race when others are stuffed with red bull, cocaine and creatine. And some of you Peaky Blinders are looking everywhere - even if you saw the episode where they stuff the horse to make it win.

โ€˜Doctor Deathโ€™ Gives Life to Gold Mines Dave Fennell chain-smoked and studied law while winning 6 Grey Cups. He sent 3 quarterbacks to the hospital in one game, becoming 'Dr. Death' and a household name in Canada. Next Dave turned to gold exploration, building 5 ventures worth ~$5 billion. He's never shared his story publiclyโ€”until now. After dominating football, Dave Fennell's Midas touch in Guyana could lead to his greatest victory. Mining legends Louis Gignac, Rick Rule and others weigh in. "I was capable of playing very violently," recalls Fennell. "If you're going to survive as a defensive lineman. The people who are opposite you, have to be afraid of you." He played 10 seasons for the Edmonton Eskimos (renamed Elks in โ€˜21), appearing in 8 Grey Cups (Canadaโ€™s Super Bowl). The Eskimos won 6, including 5 in a row 1978-1982. Fennell, who turned 71 Feb 4, is chain smoking Marlboros on a Zoom call with me Feb 5. Heโ€™s reflecting on a career that spans beyond the gridiron to golden ventures. His resume includes co-founding Golden Star (US $467M sale in โ€˜22) and Miramar ($1.5B sale in โ€˜08). Fennell was a tenured director of Sabina ($1.1B sale in โ€˜23) and Torex ($1.2B market cap). His Reunion Gold ($485M market cap) has rapidly discovered a major gold deposit after setbacks. Fennell's sons picked up his drive too. David Jr. played Michigan State football then turned engineer. John raced luge at the Sochi Winter Olympics, now he's a corporate analyst. โ€“ Raised in a middle-class Edmonton, Alberta family, Fennell was the second of four children. โ€œI was taught very early on, you're not allowed to quit when you start something. It was not acceptable.โ€ He completed a 4 year undergrad degree at U of North Dakota in 3 years. Fennell could have gone to the NFL, but chose to stay in Edmonton, joining the Eskimos on the condition heโ€™d also go to law school. It's hard to imagine a pro athlete smoking, studying law, and winning six championships today. But Dave Fennell did it all. He planned to play pro for 10 seasons, and wondered, โ€œWhat do you do when the cheering stops?โ€ Joining a law firm next, the bosses leveraged his "Dr. Death" fame for networking. Fennell recalls, โ€œThey loved taking me to the Petroleum Club on Mondays.โ€ His law practice worked with many small miners. After three years and a Guyana field trip, Fennell decided to get into gold mining himself. At 32, Fennell founded Golden Star Resources (GSR). He partnered with Roger Morton, a U of Alberta geology professor, to explore Guyana. GSR spent $20K staking the forgotten Omai gold deposit. โ€œIt was open ground.โ€ Anaconda Copper explored Omai extensively in the late 1940s but stopped when the Korean War began. Secrets of the Anaconda Library A private detective helped Fennell find Anacondaโ€™s geological data. They learned of a cavernous library in Montana, holding 100 years of records. A librarian, just laid off, liked Fennell and sold him the Guyana files for $30K. GSR hired SNC Lavalin, with their top supercomputer, to process this historical information. It showed a big potential mine. Placer Dome partnered on Omai in โ€˜87, before walking away. Fennell didn't give up. He invited Louis Gignacโ€™s Cambior to visit Omai during a 3 day rainstorm. Cambior ended up funding construction for a 70% stake. It produced 3.7 million gold ounces from 92-05. Renowned mining investor Rick Rule says Fennell is easy to underestimate. "The physicality obscures a great intellect and a guy that's actually very kind. He's the classic entrepreneur. When he sees an opportunity, he can't not grasp it.โ€ Next, GSR pursued Cambior to partner in Suriname. โ€œIf I had a mine each time someone told me a story about a property, I'd be a very rich man,โ€ Gignac says. GSRโ€™s Rosebel discovery was in region reeling after Surinameโ€™s civil war. โ€œDavid, why donโ€™t you settle down, get married, do something easier than this,โ€ Gignac advised him. Fennell persisted, inviting Gignac to tour Rosebel. It poured rain again on that trip, which Gignac saw as a good omen after Omaiโ€™s success. Cambior eventually built the mine. Rosebel became one of South Americaโ€™s largest, yielding over 6 million ounces. Today, itโ€™s operated by Zijin. GSR stock jumped 600% in the early '90s thanks to these wins. Investor Mike Halvorson says GSRโ€™s work in the Guianas and Suriname put the area on the map for mining. โ€œBack in those days, from a political point of view, it was considered high-risk to go into the Guianas,โ€ Gignac remembers. โ€œIt took a lot of guts for [Fennell] to get involved, and a lot of guts to follow him there. We eventually mined about twice the [initial] reserves at Omai. By doing Omai, it was that much easier to do Rosebel. We were comfortable with the region and its people. There's a lot of advantages in these countries. It's simpler. Decision makers are easier to know and be in contact with.โ€ Halvorson remembers Fennell throwing a 'chirping' analyst into a pool on one Suriname stay. The guy skipped on the water like a stone. Fennell and Halvorson connected in Edmonton in the 1980s through their love of migratory bird hunting. โ€œAnything that walks, flies or swims, Dave has killed,โ€ says mining engineer Bruce McLeod, who hunts and fishes with Fennell. A massive Anaconda snake skin once adorned the crown mouldings in Fennellโ€™s Montreal offices. At 41, Fennell lucked out as the sole bidder for Sigrist House, once King Edward VIII's Bahamian villa. Fennell lived there 28 years before downsizing. In the late 90โ€™s, Fennell clashed with GSR's board and was pushed out. Later, GSR refocused on Africa and was sold to a Chinese company. To avoid GSR conflicts, Fennell eyed new gold regions. BHP's Hugo Dummett offered him all their gold assets for $80 million. But with few flush bidders, BHP sold the portfolio in pieces. Ivanhoe got Mongolia and discovered Oyu Tolgoi. Randgold took West Africa, and Harmony got East Africa. "If you'd have kept that package together, it'd be the second largest copper company [today]. And you'd be arguing with Newmont about who was the biggest gold company," Fennell says. He bought the Canadian assets for US $20.4 million. It had Hope Bay, a 4 million ounce gold discovery in the high arctic. Fennell dealt through Cambiex Exploration (CBX), where heโ€™d been appointed Chair and CEO in January โ€˜99, when CBX was a 15 cent stock with a $3.5 million market cap. CBX split the tab with Miramar, a modest gold miner sitting on cash. Miramar swallowed CBX in 2002, appointing Fennell Executive Vice Chairman. Miramar invested about $100 million in Hope Bay and led it through permitting. In 2008, Newmont bought Miramar for $1.5 billion. Every $1 invested in CBXโ€™s equity funding when Fennell took over in early โ€˜99 was worth $19.50 when Newmont acquired Miramar 9 years later. CBX shareholders made even more money through a spinout company, Ariane Gold, acquired by Cambior in โ€˜03. Rob McLeod, a geologist at Hope Bay, admired Fennell's strong presence, humour, and optimism. Fennell built bonds with Inuit partners through fishing and Crib games, easing the permitting process. Fennell would need that optimism for his next venture. โ€“ In 2004, Fennell listed Nevada explorer New Sleeper. A name change to Reunion Gold (RGD) came in 2006, after recruiting former GSR colleagues and pivoting again to the Giuanas. The stock ran from 30 cents to over $2 in early โ€˜07 on the back of a Suriname gold find. It didnโ€™t pan out. RGD crashed to 3.5 cents during the โ€˜08 financial crisis. โ€œWhen you take your shareholder's money and you say you're going to do this, and if it's not successful, my job is to fix that and I'm not going to roll all the stock back. I'm not going to wipe shareholders out,โ€ Fennell says, explaining RGDโ€™s current 1.23 billion shares. Reunion roared back above $2 again after a Guyana manganese discovery. Then, metal prices crashed, cutting RGD to one penny by 2016. โ€œYou're going to fail a hundred percent guaranteed in both exploration and football,โ€ Fennell says. โ€œThe real question is, what are you going to do after you fail?โ€ A US $10 million sale of the manganese project provided a lifeline. In 2019, Barrick partnered with Reunion on exploration, committing $4.2 million. Reunion was a 7 cent stock in 2020 when they found gold at Guyanaโ€™s Oko project. But, Barrick quickly abandoned the alliance and skipped a $3 million commitment. They even sued Reunion after Oko's success. In 2023, Barrick and RGD settled, owing nothing to each other. Oko moved from a prospect to a major gold deposit rapidly. An initial 2023 resource estimate showed 4.3 million ounces (indicated plus inferred). Fennell believes Oko could be the best gold mine in South America. He sees a 300--400,000 ounce per year, low-cost mine, with a 12 year initial mine life. "Itโ€™s going to be much bigger and longer,โ€ Fennell says, optimistically. โ€œWhether we're going to live longer is a whole different question." Reunion aims to publish a PEA study on Oko before Summer. Fennell also looks forward to a feasibility study and final permits in Q1 2015, with construction to start soon after. "From a discovery to a tier one mine in [potentially] six years, it doesn't get any better," Fennell says. Heโ€™s in Georgetown this week, talking with the Guyanese government about Oko's future. Reunionโ€™s looking at options: build, sell, merge, or partner up. Fennell wants RGD to avoid execution risk and debt. G Mining Services, led by Fennell's old friend Gignac, is advising on Oko. They've successfully built many mines, like Fruta del Norte in Ecuador (Lundin Gold - $3.7B market cap). Gignac's G Mining Ventures, doing well and on track in Brazil, could be a key player in Oko's future. โ€œThere will be a mine [at Oko]. There's absolutely no question,โ€ says Gignac. โ€œThe size, grade, and gold content. That's going to be the next one to put on his record.โ€ Thereโ€™s a slight problem with Venezuelaโ€™s claim over Guyanaโ€™s Essequibo region, where Oko is. Fennell isn't worried. He says the US will protect it because of Exxon and Chevronโ€™s huge oil investments there. Gignac says Fennell hasn't changed since they first met in the late 80s. "Always glass half-full, always enthusiastic. A track record as good as anybody at finding deals, doing exploration, and developing orebodies." Fennell is honest and a consummate salesman according to Rule. โ€œI don't think in 35 years he ever lied to me, but he would polish the living shit out of the rear view mirror.โ€ Some colourful highlights of my 2 hour Zoom with Mr. Fennell were published in raw video form below. Itโ€™s full of wisdom about gold exploration and football. โ€œDavid is one of the most low key and commercially successful entrepreneurs in [mining],โ€ Bruce McLeod wrote. โ€œHe has played a huge part in mentoring others too. Without David I wouldn't be where I am today.โ€ Fennell says, "We always overcome challenges. I never give up." Reunion Gold (RGD-TSXV) is worth $485 million at press time, last at 39.5 cents. Fennell owns 61 million RGD shares. He has warrants and options to purchase 12.6 million more. B. McLeod, Rule & Halvorson all own the stock. All figures CAD unless otherwise indicated.

There is ONE non-partisan statewide race that could be decided tomorrow if one candidate receives a majority of the vote: Superintendent of Public Instruction. Last week, every viable candidate participated in a 2-hr forum mediated by Jacki Karsh hosted by Jewish California (formerly JPAC) . I watched it, and here are my notes ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿ”ต The field of Democrats (Muratsuchi, Berrera, Newman, Rendon) are current or former legislators who presided over the teacherโ€™s union hijacking control over all areas of policy in California that coincided with the measurable decline in enrollment and quality of education in the schools ๐Ÿ˜‚ Ironically, all of them are touting their past roles in CA education as credentials for this race ๐Ÿ”ด Sonja Shaw called them all out on it right out the gate: we spend billions and less than half of our kids can read, and California education has become discriminatory ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป When asked about teaching kids media literacy, Muratsuchi didnโ€™t answer the question, Newman blamed social media for the decline in academic achievement, Rendon said we should look to Norway for answers, Sonja called these types of programs potential Trojan Horses for ideological indoctrination unless there is a Superintendent who will ensure theyโ€™re not, Berreraโ€™s answer is to make the students issue-based activists to immunize them from corporate mediae manipulation ๐Ÿ˜จ Mental Health in schools: Newman believes schools are perfect place to deliver mental healthcare for kids; Rendon blamed Trump for deteriorating mental health; Shaw discussed limiting cell phone use and allowing for more discipline in the classroom to support the teachers; Berrera and Muratsuchi also supports making schools healthcare providers. โœก๏ธ When asked about safety of Jewish students at school (600%+ increase in antisemitic incidents in schools), Shaw immediately called out ethnic studies as a Trojan Horse for this despite being warned by Jewish communities. Muratsuchi gave an All Lives Matter answer. Newmanโ€™s answer criticized CTA (shock). Additional notes: ๐Ÿ—’๏ธ Shaw shut down ceasefire & BDS resolutions in Chino - schools should be neutral ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿป Muratsuchi admitted he opposed AB715 to protect pro-Palestinian debate, Becerra & Muratsuchi defended BDS in schools as free speech โŒRendon is completely out of touch. He keeps referring to more funding as the solution to everything and blames Trump for defunding our system (even though all our $150B disappears into the blackhole of failing schools) ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€โš–๏ธ Each candidate was asked if they would commit to defending AB715 from legal challenges: Berrera No, Muratsuchi No, Newman Yes, Rendon Yes, Shaw Yes (Muratsuchi didnโ€™t even vote on it) ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆMuratsuchi accused Shaw of being proponent of hate against LGBTQ students - Shaw turned the tables: the issue is about discrimination and safety of girls in sports & locker rooms ๐Ÿ“šAfter 90 minutes, zero minutes have been spent on improving proficiency on hard academics for CA students (except when Sonja mentions it as something we need to deal with) ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง’โ€๐Ÿง’ Sonja also includes parent involvement in many of her answers ๐Ÿ“– The answers on ethnic studies are as expected: Dems love it as part of the solution, but Newman walked the line between good intention and poor execution; Shaw clearly characterizes it as intentionally divisive Trojan Horse for ideological indoctrination and unnecessary (we already have history class) ๐Ÿ‘€ After this, itโ€™s beyond clear.

Warren Buffett turns 93 today! To celebrate, I'm sharing the greatest lecture he ever gave together with his 94 (!) best investment quotes. 1. Rule No. 1 is never lose money. Rule No. 2 is never forget Rule No. 1. 2. Diversification is a protection against ignorance. It makes very little sense for those who know what they're doing. 3. Do not take yearly results too seriously. Instead, focus on four or five-year averages. 4. All there is to investing is picking good stocks at good times and staying with them as long as they remain good companies. 5. American business - and consequently a basket of stocks - is virtually certain to be worth far more in the years ahead. 6. An investor should act as though he had a lifetime decision card with just twenty punches on it. 7. And so the important thing we do with managers, generally, is to find the .400 hitters and then not tell them how to swing. 8. The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect. You need a temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd or against the crowd. 9. Bitcoin has no unique value at all. 10. Buy a stock the way you would buy a house. Understand and like it such that you'd be content to own it in the absence of any market. 11. The years ahead will occasionally deliver major market declines - even panics - that will affect virtually all stocks. No one can tell you when these traumas will occur. 12. I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business. 13. Buy companies with strong histories of profitability and with a dominant business franchise. 14. For the investor, a too-high purchase price for the stock of an excellent company can undo the effects of a subsequent decade of favorable business developments. 15. I believe in giving my kids enough so they can do anything, but not so much that they can do nothing. 16. The world went mad. What we learn from history is that people donโ€™t learn from history. 17. The key to investing is not assessing how much an industry is going to affect society, or how much it will grow, but rather determining the competitive advantage of any given company and, above all, the durability of that advantage. 18. Among the various propositions offered to you, if you invested in a very low cost index fund - where you don't put the money in at one time, but average in over 10 years - you'll do better than 90% of people who start investing at the same time. 19. Because if you're wrong and rates go to 2 percent, which I don't think they will, you pay it off. It's a one-way renegotiation. It is an incredibly attractive instrument for the homeowner and you've got a one-way bet. 20. Cash is to a business as oxygen is to an individual: never thought about when it is present, the only thing in mind when it is absent. 21. Don't get caught up with what other people are doing. Being a contrarian isn't the key but being a crowd follower isn't either. You need to detach yourself emotionally. 22. For 240 years it's been a terrible mistake to bet against America, and now is no time to start. 23. I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years. 24. I have no views as to where it (gold) will be, but the one thing I can tell you is it won't do anything between now and then except look at you. Whereas, you know, Coca-Cola will be making money, and I think Wells Fargo will be making a lot of money, and there will be a lot -- and it's a lot -- it's a lot better to have a goose that keeps laying eggs than a goose that just sits there and eats insurance and storage and a few things like that. 25. I just sit in my office and read all day. 26. I won't say if my candidate doesn't win, and probably half the time they haven't, I'm going to take my ball and go home 27. If returns are going to be 7 or 8 percent and you're paying 1 percent for fees, that makes an enormous difference in how much money you're going to have in retirement. 28. We want products where people feel like kissing you instead of slapping you. 29. If you aren't willing to own a stock for ten years, don't even think about owning it for ten minutes. 30. The most important investment you can make is one in yourself. 31. If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need. 32. If you don't feel comfortable making a rough estimate of the asset's future earnings, just forget it and move on. 33. If you like spending six to eight hours per week working on investments, do it. If you don't, then dollar-cost average into index funds. 34. If you're in the luckiest 1% of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99%. 35. If you're smart, you're going to make a lot of money without borrowing. 36. In the 20th century, the United States endured two world wars and other traumatic and expensive military conflicts; the Depression; a dozen or so recessions and financial panics; oil shocks; a flu epidemic; and the resignation of a disgraced president. Yet the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497. 37. In the 54 years (Charlie Munger and I) have worked together, we have never forgone an attractive purchase because of the macro or political environment, or the views of other people. In fact, these subjects never come up when we make decisions 38. In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield. 39. Investors should remember that excitement and expenses are their enemies. 40. It is a terrible mistake for investors with long-term horizons to measure their investment 'risk' by their portfolio's ratio of bonds to stocks. 41. It is not necessary to do extraordinary things to get extraordinary results. 42. It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently. 43. The one thing I will tell you is the worst investment you can have is cash. Everybody is talking about cash being king and all that sort of thing. Cash is going to become worth less over time. But good businesses are going to become worth more over time. 44. It's been an ideal period for investors: A climate of fear is their best friend. Those who invest only when commentators are upbeat end up paying a heavy price for meaningless reassurance. 45. It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction. 46. It's better to have a partial interest in the Hope diamond than to own all of a rhinestone. 47. It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price. 48. Just pick a broad index like the S&P 500. Don't put your money in all at once; do it over a period of time. 49. Keep things simple and don't swing for the fences. When promised quick profits, respond with a quick "noโ€. 50. Lose money for the firm, and I will be understanding. Lose a shred of reputation for the firm, and I will be ruthless. 51. Many management teams are just deciding they're gonna buy X billions over X months. That's no way to buy things. You buy when selling for less than they are worth. ... It's not a complicated equation to figure out whether it is beneficial or not to repurchase shares. 52. The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything. 53. Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can't buy what is popular and do well. 54. Never invest in a business you cannot understand. 55. Your premium brand had better be delivering something special, or itโ€™s not going to get the business. 56. One can best prepare themselves for the economic future by investing in your own education. If you study hard and learn at a young age, you will be in the best circumstances to secure your future. 57. The most important thing to do if you find yourself in a hole is to stop digging. 58. One thing that could help would be to write down the reason you are buying a stock before your purchase. Write down "I am buying Microsoft at $300 billion because..." Force yourself to write this down. It clarifies your mind and discipline. 59. Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked. 60. Opportunities come infrequently. When it rains gold, put out the bucket, not the thimble. 61. Price is what you pay. Value is what you get. 62. Read 500 pages like this every day. That's how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it. 63. Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing. 64. If a business does well, the stock eventually follows. 65. Since I know of no way to reliably predict market movements, I recommend that you purchase Berkshire shares only if you expect to hold them for at least five years. Those who seek short-term profits should look elsewhere. 66. Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago 67. The best thing that happens to us is when a great company gets into temporary trouble... We want to buy them when they're on the operating table. 68. Speculation is most dangerous when it looks easiest. 69. Stay away from it. It's a mirage, basically...The idea that it has some huge intrinsic value is a joke in my view. 70. The best chance to deploy capital is when things are going down. 71. The stock market is a no-called-strike game. You don't have to swing at everything -- you can wait for your pitch. 72. There is nothing wrong with a 'know nothing' investor who realizes it. The problem is when you are a 'know nothing' investor but you think you know something. 73. This does not bother Charlie and me. Indeed, we enjoy such price declines if we have funds available to increase our positions. 74. Too-big-to-fail is not a fallback position at Berkshire. Instead, we will always arrange our affairs so that any requirements for cash we may conceivably have will be dwarfed by our own liquidity. 75. There are all kinds of businesses that Charlie and I donโ€™t understand, but that doesnโ€™t cause us to stay up at night. It just means we go on to the next one, and thatโ€™s what the individual investor should do. 76. You canโ€™t buy what is popular and do well. 77. We never want to count on the kindness of strangers in order to meet tomorrow's obligations. When forced to choose, I will not trade even a night's sleep for the chance of extra profits. 78. We will reject interesting opportunities rather than over-leverage our balance sheet. 79. We've long felt that the only value of stock forecasters is to make fortune tellers look good. Even now, Charlie and I continue to believe that short-term market forecasts are poison and should be kept locked up in a safe place, away from children and also from grown-ups who behave in the market like children. 80. What is smart at one price is stupid at another. 81. What we learn from history is that people don't learn from history. 82. When stock can be bought below a business's value it is probably the best use of cash. 83. When trillions of dollars are managed by Wall Streeters charging high fees, it will usually be the managers who reap outsized profits, not the clients. 84. When we own portions of outstanding businesses with outstanding managements, our favorite holding period is forever. 85. When you have able managers of high character running businesses about which they are passionate, you can have a dozen or more reporting to you and still have time for an afternoon nap. Conversely, if you have even one person reporting to you who is deceitful, inept or uninterested, you will find yourself with more than you can handle. 86. Whether we're talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down. 87. Widespread fear is your friend as an investor because it serves up bargain purchases. 88. You are neither right nor wrong because the crowd disagrees with you. You are right because your data and reasoning are right. 89. You can't borrow money at 18 or 20 percent and come out ahead. 90. You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant. 91. The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellectโ€ฆ You need a temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd or against the crowd. 92. You don't need to be a rocket scientist. Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with 130 IQ. You only have to be able to evaluate companies within your circle of competence. 93. The size of your circle of competence is not very important; knowing its boundaries, however, is vital.

Ten Takeaways From 10/21/25 ONE) NBA on NBC Hello, friends. Welcome to the 2025-26 NBA season. Itโ€™s been a minute, hasnโ€™t it? A whole lot has changed since we last spoke. We were reintroduced to the NBA on NBC. Canโ€™t believe itโ€™s been almost 25 years, but here we are again. They absolutely crushed it after having some early audio difficulties. I get how clichรฉ it is, but I seriously got chills once โ€œRoundball Rockโ€ started playing. Thought Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady had contagious energy in the pre-game coverage. The graphics are clean and straightforward. Really like the team fouls tracking in the score bugโ€”just a very pleasant experience. Looking forward to the โ€œPrimeโ€ experience. God, canโ€™t believe it costs $650 to watch basketball now. We need to talk about the MJ segment, though. If youโ€™ve been living under a rock, NBC shocked the world and somehow convinced Michael Jordan to sign on as a โ€œspecial contributorโ€. โ€œInsights to Excellenceโ€ is sadly everything I thought it would beโ€ฆ nothing. He wasnโ€™t in the studio or anything. Looked like some pre-recorded interview with Mike Tirico from who knows when at his house, talking about why heโ€™s come out of hiding. The thing lasted about three and a half minutes. โ€œTo pay it forward. I had the obligation to basketball.โ€ - MJ on the decision to join NBC Okay Mike. Hoping for some actual insight in future recordings. TWO) Champs Are Here OKC received their rings and raised their banner before the game. Vibes were immaculate. Dillon Jones was even in attendance. Good thing the Wizards waived him just in time for him to make his flight. Rockets werenโ€™t having it, though. Ime Udoka said that they didnโ€™t watch the ceremony and were instead focused on trying to ruin their night. Kevin Durant came out for warmups to loud boos, and so he booed them back. Everyone laughed. Meanwhile, Steven Adams still gets loud cheers because, well, who doesnโ€™t love Steven Adams? It was a rough go-around for all Thunder not named Chet Holmgren (28 points, 11-17 FG) to start, especially SGA. He had just five points at the half on 40.0% shooting (2-5 FG), but you can only contain the league and Finals MVP for so long. He scored 24 of his 35 points in the 4th quarter and overtimes. Whatโ€™s up with the four missed free throws (10-14 FT)? "I'm glad the guys enjoyed the ceremony. That's a great, great life event they had." - Mark Daigneault "It was surreal. I don't know how to describe it besides that. Seeing the banner raised was cool too... I'll remember it for the rest of my life." - SGA on the pregame ceremony THREE) Thunder Starters One of the more critical questions going into Opening Night was, โ€œWhoโ€™s the 5th Thunder starter?โ€ as we wait for JDubโ€™s wrist to get right. SGA, Dort, Chet, and IHart felt obvious. Between Alex Caruso, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace, I leaned Cason mainly because of the bigger picture. Didnโ€™t make sense to start Alex after managing him all last year, but then he started in every preseason game he played. Had to give that some sort of credit (and we did). Well, they ended up doing what they did a lot last year: change it up midway. Wallace started, and then Caruso started the second halfโ€ฆ for Hartenstein. Here we go again. Casonโ€™s playmaking looks improved. Daigneault went 11 deep (!!!) in the first quarter. Rookie, Brooks Barnhizer was the fourth sub off the bench, played about two minutes, and was never seen again. Part of that reason is Ajay Mitchell, who checked in after him (for Shai). Thereโ€™s been some buzz, going back to his standout Summer League (19.8 ppg, 5.3 apg, 4.8 rpg, 1.5 spg). He scored 12 of his 16 points in the second quarter. โ€œNot surprised. He was playing like this before he got hurt last year.โ€ - Mark Daigneault on Ajay Mitchell FOUR) Jumbo Lineup Itโ€™s not much of a surprise to see Udoka start with the Steven Adams/Alperen Sengun pairing after how dominant they looked at the end of last season (+29.9 net rating, 162 minutes)โ€”especially given the matchup, with Holmgren and Hartenstein on the other side. The real shocker is how much they leaned into it. Alpi and Adams shared the court for over 30 minutes (+8). LIKE WTF?!!! This was Adams' first time touching 37 minutes since November 9, 2022. They did just sign him to a three-year extension. Youโ€™d think they might wanna be careful with their investment. The average height of this Rockets' starting lineup is 6'10 (Thompson, Durant, Smith, Sengun, Adams), LMAO FIVE) Alpi Dominance Continues Maybe what Sengun was doing at EuroBasket 2025 (21.6 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 6.6 apg, 1.0 spg, and 1.1 bpg) translates over? Not gonna lie, I certainly had my doubts, but noโ€ฆ heโ€™s looking just as dominant (I know, one game). Alperen Sengun vs Thunder: 39 PTS 11 REB 7 AST 2 STL 5-8 3P (career-high) 10-11 FT 27.7% USG Yeah, I see it too. Second time in his career, heโ€™s attempted eight threes. Dude averaged 1.2 attempts per game last year. The hitch in his shot appears to be gone, so hey, this could be real (doubt it). All I know is that if it is, itโ€™ll do wonders for his ceiling on sites that reward threes (DK). Also, going 10 of 11 from the line is something worth paying attention to. He was a 69.2% free-throw shooter last season. On the flip side, Amen Thompson (18 pts, 4 reb, 5 ast) had seven attempts from behind the arc and missed them all. Sucks, but his shot still looks flat. Thereโ€™s no lift. While weโ€™re here on Thompson, he had to leave the game late because of cramps. SIX) The Reed Conundrum Iโ€™ll give Reed Sheppard (9 pts, 4 ast, 37.9% TS, 28 min) this; heโ€™s a confident motherfucker, and I love that about him (in a cute way). Itโ€™s hilarious how many times he looked off KD in this game. Heโ€™s gonna have stretches where heโ€™s feeling it and looks automatic, but is it really gonna be worth it if his defense looks this dreadful? He canโ€™t stay in front of anyone. The Thunder hunted and won that matchup with ease all night. Amen getting cramped up in OT1 really salvaged his minutes, cause I didnโ€™t think he was gonna see the court again. Again, I know itโ€™s only one game, but a couple more performances like this and things could get ugly. SEVEN) KD Gets Away With One Or should that say gets away with none? Kevin Durant (23 points, 9 rebounds) made his Rockets debut, and thereโ€™re gonna be two things you take away from it. Whyโ€™d you trade for him again? He was pretty much non-existent when they needed him most down the stretch, with a 12.5 USG% in both OTโ€™s. There shouldnโ€™t have been a second overtime. KD was clearly seen calling for a timeout after a rebound with about a second left on the clock. The problem is, they didnโ€™t have anyโ€“He Webberโ€™d it. He should have been Tโ€™d up, giving the Thunder a free throw to potentially end the game. Zarba and his buddies even got together to talk it over once the buzzer sounded, but did nothing. Strange, but luckily, it didnโ€™t end up mattering much since OKC won in the second overtime. โ€œKevin definitely called timeout 3 timesโ€ฆ They just missed it.โ€ - SGA The Thunder beat the Rockets 125-124. EIGHT) Kuminga Starts Gallagher and I both felt pretty confident (sounds so stupid saying that with Kerr) that had Mosey Moody been available for this one, he would have been named the fifth starter, but his calfโ€™s still bothering him. Steve Kerr decided to start Jonathan Kuminga (17 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 33 minutes) instead, rewarding him for a strong preseason. There might be some more rewards coming because, whew, this is exactly what theyโ€™ve been wanting to see from him for the last couple of years, especially the boards. You wouldnโ€™t know it from looking at Lukaโ€™s box score, but JK did about as well as you could defending him; he made his threes (4-6 3PT) and consistently found the open man. Iโ€™m gonna go ahead and guess that he starts again against Denver on Thursday Let the showcasing begin. โ€œWhen you ask for opportunity, you must deliver. Heโ€™s been very vocal about his opportunity and he delivered.โ€ - Draymond Green on Jonathan Kuminga โ€œI just wanna help JK be greatโ€ฆ Weโ€™ve been kickin' it. Hanging out. Watching film and just working on our game together. I know how great he wants to be and how great he can be.โ€ - Jimmy Butler on mentoring Jonathan Kuminga NINE) Jimmy Being Jimmy One of the funnier moments of the night came post-game, when Jimmy Butler talked about a bet he made with Draymond Green. The wager is that heโ€™ll have a better free-throw percentage than Steph Curry this season. Deadass, hahaha. He admitted that itโ€™s probably a bad bet but I still love that he does this type of shit. Two years ago, he said he was playfully aiming to shoot 50.0% from three. He obviously didnโ€™t hit that mark, but he did shoot a career-best 41.4% that season. If youโ€™re wondering how the bet is looking to start after Game 1: Jimmy Butler: 16-16 FT (100.0%) Steph Curry: 8-8 FT (100.0%) Will keep you updated as the season goes. Jesus, 16 free throw attempts. โ€œNo chance.โ€ - Steph Curry when asked if Jimmy Butler has any shot at winning the bet Before weโ€™re done with GS, a shoutout to Will Richard (5 points, 14 minutes). We tease Kerr all the time about playing these randos, but this kid looks like he can actually play. TEN) All Luka and Austin The Lakers are gonna struggle hard while LeBronโ€™s out. They just donโ€™t have any other guys on the team that can create. Luka Doncic (43 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 34.7% USG) and Austin Reaves (26 points, 9 assists, 30.1% USG) scored or assisted on 97 of the Lakers' 109 points. So wild. Marcus Smart (9 points) was the first sub off the bench. As for DeAndre Aytonโ€™s debut (10 points, 6 rebounds, 4 turnovers), letโ€™s just say it didnโ€™t take long for the Lakersโ€™ fan base to turn on him. Poor guy looked lost out there. "We just started. This is probably the second game we've played together." - Rui Hachimura on what the difference was for the Lakers "The trend I see is that we continue to be a terrible third-quarter team." - JJ Redick The Warriors beat the Lakers 119-109.
