Friday Market Close…

What’s up cunts, give this a read.

How to stop being a loser:

Be honest, do you think of yourself as a loser? It’s not a big deal. I’ve been a loser before. It’s a natural part of everyone’s story at some point. But you can’t stay a loser. Otherwise the story ends that way… and we can’t have that.

So here’s 3 things to get through your fuckin skull that’ll help you stop being a loser, by like tomorrow:

#1: Gotta be you.

Notice above I didn’t say “do people think you’re a loser?” I said “do YOU think you’re a loser?” Why? Because your opinion matters most. Your opinion of yourself affects how other people form their own opinions about you. It all starts internally.

Point is, if you’re a nerd - the best thing you can do is fucking accept and own that shit. “Yeah I like dungeons and dragons, what’s up. Fuck you gonna do about it?”

Biggest problem with being a loser is you walk around with shame because you believe you are a loser! Accept who you are, what you like and own it with complete swagger and conviction. No doubts.

The more on this wavelength you get, the cooler you’re gonna become to yourself - and so other people too. 

#2: Know where you’re going.

This one’s critical for those of you that are currently broke / in terrible situations. The reality is that with girls, guys, rich people, prospects or any opportunity involving a human - so long as you internally know where you’re going, others will feel that energy and believe that you’re in a better spot in life than you really are.

Now, this doesn’t mean you should lie about it. Why would you care to lie to someone if you truly knew where you’re going? And if you truly know where you’re going - people care less about where you are today and more about who you are inside to believe such grand things about yourself.

But on the contrary - if people treat you like you’re in a better spot in life than you are (because of how you carry yourself) then so be it!

You’ll have the big house, the fast car, the cool business, the hot wife - all that shit. Time just hasn’t caught up yet.

It doesn’t matter if you’re washing dishes at a shit shack… so long as you’re headed for the top.

#3: Having fun on your way there.

If you truly embody principles 1 & 2… this shit should be natural. If you’re being unapologetically yourself and you know, with every fiber of your being, exactly where the fuck you’re heading… you should be having a great time, enjoying the journey.

Life is like a movie; So don’t try to rush to the end. After all, most of the best parts of a movie happen randomly throughout the course of the journey. Everything you want is gonna happen, so enjoy it all and stop seeing yourself as a loser. You’re a fucking winner! Act like it.

Market Indices & Commodities

Markets
Cocoa Futures Skyrocket 🍫

Hedge funds have been buying cocoa futures like there’s no fucking tomorrow since the end of 2023, and the price of cocoa futures has risen in parallel.

This surge in prices was sparked by poor harvests in Western Africa. An all-time high of $5,888 per tonne was reached in New York last Friday.

Speculative traders have essentially placed a bet worth $8.7b on cocoa futures contracts across New York and London.

As you can see, the prices have already started falling though, with a -4.36% drop today. This is due to some of these hedge funds taking profits and demand concerns due to retail price rises in the US.

Russia
Navalny dies in prison ☠️

Putin’s most prominent opponent, Alexei Navalny has died in prison today.

As you’d expect, western leaders have been quick to blame Putin for this. The Russian prison service stated the circumstances of Navalny’s death are unclear. However, we do know that he fell ill in the yard of the prison he was being held in, and that resuscitation attempts failed.

This is not the first time Putin has (allegedly) tried to murder him. He also nearly died in August 2020 after he was poisoned with the Russian nerve agent, Novichok.

Trump
Trump to pay up after court case 💰

Trump and several of his associates have been ordered to pay $364m in New York fraud case.

The real estate empire which made Trump rich and famous has been found to have committed a fuck ton of fraud. The judge has also banned Trump from doing any business in the state for the next 3 years.

Trump really can’t catch a break at the moment, not great given it’s such a crucial time in the run up to the election in November…
