Having tactically traded through the 1998 Russian crisis and LTCM collapse, the dot-com bubble and crash, the 2007–09 financial crisis, the COVID shock, and everything since—I can’t stress this enough:
The best countertrend setups don’t come from just buying dips. They come after failed breakdowns or clear bullish divergences. Without those signals, you’re simply buying weakness and hoping for a bounce.

The most exciting time to be alive in human history.
AI-driven progress is convex, not linear, and healthcare is next.
The edge: stay healthy. Stay alive. Longevity is about to expand.
In Florida a non-MD can own a medical practice under the right conditions. Florida is more permissive than many other states. I’ve known a few non-MD’s who do the business side.
