Description

Another wild week on Wall Street! We're pulling back the curtain on the brutal reality of red days, a historic crypto massacre, and the tough decisions we're making in our own portfolios right now.


πŸ“‰ Surviving the Sell-Off: For every massive gain, there's a painful drop. We get transparent about handling portfolio pain and why community is your best defense when the market turns against you.

⚠️ Crypto's Great Liquidation: Millions in crypto vanished in minutes. Krzysztof explains the catastrophic leverage event that wiped out traders and the harsh lesson of perpetual futures contracts.

🎯 Portfolio Shake-Up: The Badger is making moves. Luke reveals exactly why he’s trimming his huge Rocket Lab winner plus Axon, exiting Airtel Africa, and adding to his Novo Nordisk position. $RKLB $AXON $AAF $NVO

πŸ’° Is PayPal a Trap?: Krzysztof uses Fiscal AI to go deep on PayPal. Are massive share buybacks and 45%+ Venmo growth signals of a massively undervalued giant, or is the market right to be scared? $PYPL

🧠 FU Money Isn't What You Think: The Monkey's portfolio has rocketed to a 877% one-year gain, but the real lesson isn't about the money. We discuss why true financial freedom is about controlling your time, not just quitting your job.
