Profits and losses stem from the same source—this is not consolation, but a rule
It took me a long time to truly understand the four-character phrase "profits and losses stem from the same source."
When I first started trading, I treated it as a form of consolation—when I lost money, I would tell myself, "Profits and losses stem from the same source; since I lost this time, I can make it back next time." This understanding was shallow and harmful. It made me numb to losses and rationalize them, without truly considering the root causes of those losses.
Later, I came to understand that profits

The Sprint in the Final Few Days
Gate’s “Stock Trading Sharing Challenge” is about to end, and I’m planning to make one final push over these last few days.
To be honest, my performance over the past few days has been pretty average: some wins, some losses, and a small overall profit. But I think the real takeaway isn’t that bit of profit—it’s the trading habits I’ve developed over the past dozen or so days: writing a plan every day, reviewing my trades every day, and sharing every day.
For these last few days, I’m going to adjust my strategy:
First, improve the quality of my trades. Some of m

$VELVET is not offering a calm chart. It is offering a volatility test.
The daily candle stretched from approximately $0.478 to $1.126 before settling near $0.929. Those large wicks show intense pressure from both buyers and sellers.
Technical map:
🔹 $0.978: immediate breakout level
🔹 $1.126: major resistance
🔹 $0.757: first important support
🔹 $0.535: deeper pullback zone
Holding above $0.757 would keep the bullish expansion alive. A daily close over $0.978 could invite another move toward the recent high.
High momentum, but equally high risk.

🐋 WHALE WATCH : OpenAI is turning into the Sam Altman Solo Show.
In the last 48 hours alone:
=> Chief Revenue Officer quits after just 8 months
=> Longtime COO Brad Lightcap walks out the door
=> Head of Ethics Head of Safety Systems and Mission Alignment leads ALL gone
The crazy part? Annualized revenue just crossed $40 BILLION ahead of their expected IPO filing.
The core product is printing cash at scale but nobody wants to sit in the same C suite as Sam.
Are we looking at the highest valued single point of failure in corporate history ?

There was once a sincere 980 Sandisk before me
I did not cherish it
Only after losing it did I regret it deeply
Nothing in this world is more painful than this
If Heaven could give me a chance to do it all over again
I would say four words to Sandisk
Go all in for sure
If I had to add a deadline to this, I hope it would be getting 3000$BTC

After already talking about a story set years in the future, how much longer can SanDisk keep telling it?
Painting a rosy long-term picture at the peak of the cycle: SanDisk management’s confidence rests solely on the NBM agreements it signed with eight customers, including the three major U.S. cloud giants, weighted for over 4 years and locking in a lower bound of $93.9 billion. But issuing 2030 guidance at the peak of profitability is essentially using a long-term PowerPoint to force buyers to take the bags today.
Fabricated defense, aggressive AI embrace: Using NBM to lock in volume and pri
