Between 2004 & 2008, Warren Buffett sold put options on the S&P 500 & 3 other indexes
He collected about $4.9 BILLION up front
The expirations? YEARS out.
Then 2008 hit. On paper those puts were down billions. Everyone said he’d made a huge mistake
He did nothing. With that much time left, nobody could force him to buy anything. & he had the $4.9 billion invested the whole time (portfolio secured not cash secured)
The market recovered & the trade made billions
There was no pile of cash sitting on the side to secure it. Berkshire’s balance sheet secured it. The premium went to work on day 1. &

#OpenAI第三季度营收升至100亿美元 Bullish on AI, but retail investors can’t buy “model companies”

I. First, read OpenAI’s report card in full

Q3 revenue was $10 billion, up nearly 50% quarter over quarter, with an annualized run rate now at about $50 billion; the previous quarter was $6.7 billion.

But there’s another side to the same report card: estimated losses of about $14 billion in 2026, and cumulative investment projected to reach about $115 billion by 2029. Altman himself has said that continuing to grow at this rate will require “trillions” in infrastructure investment.

The valuation tells an

Bitcoin and Ethereum short positions entered at 74,100 and 2,070, respectively, and have now pulled back somewhat. Manage the range appropriately.

In fact, I advised going long last night and again this morning. Going long first and then shorting has offered decent overall room for profit.

#ALTCOIN #TOTAL2
Altcoin cycle spiral.
Friends, this time I wrapped the total market cap of all coins except Bitcoin around a 4-year dial.
Altcoin peaks are also in the same region as Bitcoin’s: January 2018, November 2021, and October 2025.
The purple and orange lines stand out on the chart. The purple line is the 2020–2023 cycle, and the orange line is this cycle. They almost overlap. Altcoins managed to surpass the 2021 peak by only 3.5% this cycle.
The 2022 and 2026 lows are also at the same point on the dial. Both occurred in June.
The altcoin market cap is currently $950 billion. The low

The mechanics are the same: you put money in. You can also burn worthless coins in exchange for a share.
But it costs money. I’m not participating in anything that costs money right now!⚠️

Long $SNDK $SNDK: The price has rebounded strongly from the bottom zone near 800, showing a bullish CHoCH signal and breaking above EMA20/50. Prioritize going long on a pullback to support, with targets at the resistance zones above. Entry 1: 925 – 940 Entry 2: 895 – 910 Entry 3: 865 – 880 Take-profit 1: 1,037 Take-profit 2: 1,193 Take-profit 3: 1,336 Stop-loss: 810 Note: Since the price remains below EMA100/200, the broader trend is still bearish. This is a rebound long strategy; consider entering in tranches and strictly managing risk.

THE MYTH BEHIND GATE AIRDROP ROUND 166
Many beginners believe that reward points have little value because they are not actual cryptocurrency. But that is not always true. Some reward points can be exchanged for useful digital assets or trading benefits.

Gate Futures Points Airdrop Round 166 brings this idea into focus by giving eligible users the opportunity to redeem their Futures Points for one of two rewards: 0.07 NVDAG or 100 USDT in position vouchers.

Let's separate the common myths from the facts and understand what this opportunity means for users.

Why does a higher trading frequency make it easier to underestimate the impact of costs on long-term returns?

Many traders have an intuition:

The more trading opportunities there are, the more chances there are to make money.

But in the cryptocurrency market, frequent trading also means more fees, more slippage, and more opportunities for execution errors.

The question worth asking is not how many trades you can make in a day, but:

Is the expected return from each additional trade sufficient to cover all the costs it generates?

I. Why can small per-trade costs have a large long-term impa
