Bonds now pay 5.3%. So why own stocks? The 10-year US Treasury just hit its highest yield since 2002. The S&P 500 is sitting one day off its record. At about 19x forward earnings, stocks earn roughly the same 5.3%, with none of the guarantee. That gap tells you whether the market is still paying you to take risk. Read it before the US market opens tonight 👇 https://www.instagram.com/p/DeRQr52M3gt/ Would you take the bond or the S&P 500 today? Education, not advice.

⚡️ Read it. Save it. Before the US market opens tonight (9:30 pm SGT). 4 stocks jumped on one Google deal. Only one signed it. On 6 Oct, Constellation Energy signed a 20-year nuclear power deal with Google and closed up 12.2%. Talen +12.4%, Vistra +10.8%, NRG +7.0%. No deal for any of them. It happened before. Sept 2024: Microsoft signed Constellation, +22% on day one. Three months later Constellation was 11% below that close, and Vistra, with no deal, was up 30%. The contract lasts 20 years. The euphoria lasts days. The playbook before tonight's open: - Watchlist it - Let it settle - Price it first 7 cards, 30 seconds.

Make your guess, then see the answer (and how Buffett counts it) in one chart 👉 https://www.instagram.com/p/DeJQlUytkRQ/

Own any of the 10 biggest stocks? This 13-second chart might surprise you. 👀 Only 3 of them beat the S&P 500 this year: TSMC (+56%), Nvidia (+25%) and Apple (+23%). The other six household names, from Microsoft to Amazon, are behind the index, and Tesla is down 18%.

**97% of day traders lost money. One number explains why.** Every trade has a number: what it earns you on average after costs. If it's below zero, bigger bets only speed up the losses.
