Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course,
Chief nourisher in life’s feast.”
In simpler words:

A small mediocre IPO from the space got the attention of a superstar: Shuffling for a quick buck?

Commodity Supercycles.

Hit the 're-tweet' & help us educate more investors.

A micro thread 🧵👇

1/ What is a commodity supercycle?

They are near decade long periods where commodities trade well above their price trend

supercycles are rare

Going back 100 years, Only 3-4 supercycles have been identified & each was tied to a transformational period of economic development.

2/ A one-two year rally in commodity prices is NOT a supercycle, rather could just a rebound from an imp. event as what even happened after the 2008 great recession.

3/ Two commodity supercycles have occurred since the end of World War II.

The 1st started in the mid of 1960s & lasted through the 1970s.

Likely driven by a collapsing US dollar, higher inflation & 2 oil price shocks.

4/ Why US dollar is an important monitorable?

Raw materials are almost always priced in US dollars.

When the value of the dollar drops, it costs more dollars to buy commodities. At the same time, it costs a lesser amount of other currencies when the dollar is moving lower.

Pair with action; knowledge without embodiment is useless

THREAD //

1. Atomic Habits, @JamesClear

“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.

No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your identity.”

2. The Daily Stoic, @RyanHoliday

“Never be so tied to your former acquaintances and friends that you are pulled down to their level.

You must choose to be loved by these friends and remain the same person or become a better person at the cost of those friends”

3. Navalmanack, @naval

“Seek wealth, not money or status.

Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep.

Money is how we transfer time and wealth.

You will never get wealthy renting out your time.”

4. Turning Pro, @SPressfield

“Fear is the primary color of the amateur.

Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of looking foolish. Fear of underachieving.

The amateur fears that if he turns pro and lives out his calling, he will have to live up to who he really is.”

17 Lessons From the Book
"Super Coach"

📚#DDBook Thread🧵


1. We think we are experiencing reality but what we are really experiencing is our thinking.

2. The most important choice you make is what you choose to make important.

3. If we really want something, there is always a way.

4. What we decide is less important then how we respond to life.

5. Our intuition already knows what we want to do but we create reasons to keep us locked out.

6. Every emotion we feel is a response to a thought, not an event.

7. Your day doesn’t create your mood, your mood creates your day.

8. When you feel a sense of urgency, it’s usually a better idea to slow down.

9. No Matter what seems to be going on, you don’t have to do anything. Being overwhelmed is just a thought.

10. Everything we do or don’t do is simply a choice. To do more, use a system of clarity, structure and boldness of action.

15 Powerful Lessons from the book "Antifragile"

by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

| Thread


1. The book is about decision-making under uncertainty/volatility.

- EVERYTHING either benefits or is harmed by volatility

- The FRAGILE is harmed (think a glass)

- The ROBUST is unchanged (think The Phoenix)

- The ANTIFRAGILE gets better (think The Hydra)

2.

- There is no way to accurately predict WHICH events will occur

- We CAN measure how fragile we are to events

- We CAN take steps to robustify ourselves

- When shit hits the fan, the fragile breaks

- This applies to the economy, politics, health, etc

3. Naive Interventionism

- Systems are COMPLEX

- Most are beyond our understanding

- When we intervene, we introduce potential harm

- These 2nd and 3rd order effects introduce MORE volatility into the system

- This makes systems even less predictable

- STAY in YOUR lane

4. Via Negativa: Removing is superior to Adding

- Less can be More

- Don't add, subtract

- Eliminate the Artificial

- Eliminate the Unnatural

- Eliminate the Unnecessary

Apply these in all areas of your life. When in doubt, SUBTRACT

12 Top Lessons From "Deep Work"
A Book by #CalNewport

📙Book Summary (THREAD)


1. Deep Work

This is similar to the "flow" state that many psychologists references.

Newport defines deep work as, "the professional activities performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that pushes your cognitive capabilities to their limit".

Deep vs. Shallow:


2. Only Four Hours

Newport states that you can only do about four hours of deep work every day.

This isn’t a matter of concentration or practice; it’s a matter of human biology and psychology.

Think of your mind as a muscle. You can Stretch it to the theoretical 4 hour limit.

3. Deep Workers Win

Deep work consistently provides better results & a more excellent portfolio of work than traditional labor and strategies.

Emphasizing deep work and doing all you can to make this time as productive as possible will yield fantastic dividends in the long run

4. The Maker is Becoming More Important

Newport suggests that culture is shifting to celebrate the "maker" or the deep thinker.

This trend is most visible within pop-culture and content creation as people find their unique voices and reach wider audiences.

Chennimalai Murugan Kovil
#Erode
#TamilNaduTemples 🚩

Chennimalai Murugan Temple is located  near Perunthurai in Erode District. Murugan is worshipped here as Dandayudapani. Temple is situated on the banks of Noyyal river also called Kanchima Nadhi. Temple is situated in a hill


Sthala Puranam says that, there lived a Landlord who had many cows in his farm. One among them was a Black Cow, which didn't give milk. Land lord observed that evening time, when all the cows came back after grazing, this cow used to go to a particular spot and gave all  the milk


by itself. He decided to dig the spot where the cow gave its milk

On digging a beautiful Vigraham of Murugan was found, but lower portion was very rough. So he called a great sculptor to soften it. Everyone was shocked to see that on the first chisel the vigraham bleeded.


Land lord realized that Murugan wanted the Vigraham the way it was.

Thus Prathishta was done on Chennimalai hill. It is believed that Sivalaya Chola got relieved from his Brahmahatti Dosha here. Kanda Shasti Kavacham was first offered here.

A lot of people don't understand that Trump & his incoming team didn't face a normal transition period, like it was over a in a matter of a few weeks or months.

The DOJ transition period JUST ENDED when Sessions left. Almost 2 exact years to get it there.

Pompeo at the CIA took over a year before he was done and ready to shift over to the State Department.

All kinds of stuff has been going on behind the scenes nobody leaks or talks about.

We only had the barest mention of the fact the Clinton Email investigation restarted

Nobody leaked in a year that Huber was deep diving into the Clinton Foundation.
Keep that in mind as all the usual suspects continue to INSIST nothing is happening/going to happen.
