Voters reportedly backed limits on new data centers in nearly all of about 40 local measures, and AI stocks sold off.
Growth that needs power, water and the neighbors' permission carries a risk no spreadsheet shows. I'd want a wider margin of safety before paying for it.
Berkshire reportedly bought back a record $9.6 billion of its own shares last quarter under Greg Abel, while still holding over $350 billion in cash.
Buffett's rule was to buy back only below intrinsic value. When the people who know the business best buy more, I pay attention.
A popular trader is showing +595% this year, after reportedly falling about 85% from a peak along the way. Buffett's roughly 19% a year looks dull next to that.
But an 85% drop needs a 567% gain just to get back to even. I'd rather compound steadily and never need a miracle.
Japan's Nikkei is reportedly down about 22% from its June peak and now in a bear market. Prices fell fast. Most of the businesses underneath didn't lose 22% of their value in five months.
A bear market is when I start buying slowly, with cash I won't need for years.
Anthropic's IPO talk has reportedly slid from about $1.5 trillion to $1.1-1.3 trillion in a week. The business didn't change that week. The mood did.
A great company bought at the wrong price can still be a poor investment. I'd rather wait for the price than chase the story.
Berkshire's stock has fallen about 50% from its peak three times since the 1960s. The business was fine each time. Buffett's real warning is never to borrow to invest. The owner who can't be forced to sell is the one who gets the recovery.
I'd rather own less and never be forced to sell.

In 1986 a guy got kicked out of every casino in Vegas for counting cards. So he flew to Hong Kong with $180,000 and started betting on horses instead.
He walked away with almost $900 million.
It was Bill Benter.
He realized horse racing was just another counting problem same math, more moving parts.
He and a partner built a computer model that estimated the true odds of each horse. If his numbers showed an edge, he bet. If not, he skipped it.
That’s the whole trick:
Expected value.
EV = p · b − (1 − p)
Only bet when the probability of winning × the potential payout is greater than the chance of losing.
What’s even crazier is that Benter once gave a 45-minute lecture explaining the math behind his system.
That recording was never supposed to become public.
And almost nobody knows it exists.
This is the lecture that professional bettors and hedge fund analysts studied.
The answer is in this video.
Now I am scared to put my money in Mexc
MEXC is aware of the order issued by the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) on November 6, 2026, and is reviewing it closely in coordination with our legal and compliance teams.
MEXC is operating normally, and user assets remain secure.
We take the concerns raised seriously and intend to engage constructively with FinCEN, as well as other relevant regulators and competent authorities worldwide. We have also begun an independent review of our AML and sanctions controls.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide further updates through our official channels.
Not surprised
🇺🇸 BREAKING: US Treasury orders crypto exchange MEXC banned from the US financial system over $16 BILLION in illicit funds.
Treasury says MEXC handled at least $16 BILLION tied to Iranian, North Korean and Russian sanctions evasion and cybercrime from May 2021 to May 2026.
Once the order takes effect, US financial institutions can’t move any funds to or from MEXC.
🇷🇺 Russia: nearly $1.5 BILLION linked to sanctions evasion
🇮🇷 Iran: about $1 BILLION with more than 40 Iranian crypto exchanges
🇰🇵 North Korea: Treasury calls MEXC a hub for its sanctions evasion
It also moved about $22 MILLION for Iran’s central bank, the Revolutionary Guard and its Qods Force.
MEXC’s own rules ban users in Iran and North Korea, but Treasury says weak anti-money laundering controls let them through.
It was still trading with sanctioned Russian exchange Garantex as recently as June 2026, more than 4 years after the US blacklisted it.
“Either you support the Iranian regime, or you have access to the U.S. financial system,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.
Need @grok to tell me what trade show is this?
Krispy Kreme jumped as much as 42% in a day on one earnings beat. The doughnuts and the debt were the same as the day before.
One quarter doesn't change a business. I'd rather wait for years of cash flow than pay up for one good day.
Nasdaq just entered a correction. AI names that priced endless growth got re-priced overnight.
Price is what you pay. Value is what you get. I only buy when I understand the cash flows and still have a margin of safety.
😆 only men understands..
We can spend tens of thousands but never let our wife down
Banks are hacked every year, this is really bad
🚨 速報：15カ国で同時に、銀行へのハッキングと口座からの窃盗が報告されている。
新型コロナも1週目はこんな様子だった。散発的な見出し。小さな数字。誰も危機とは呼ばなかった。
1/ 日本：銀行を装った偽の電話が、山形の企業から9億1200万円（約610万ドル）超をだまし取った。10月にはベトナムとの合同事件になった。現地で7人逮捕。
2/ 台湾：1日で永豊銀行の顧客418人から4176万台湾ドル（約130万ドル）が引き出された。ログインしていなかった顧客まで。返金済み。
3/ ベトナム：ハッカーは何カ月もの間、銀行のシステム内に潜んでいた。そして一夜にして銀行自身の資金を奪った。
4/ 韓国：約1カ月で金融会社37社が侵害された。約47万3000件の記録が流出。約580社が調査された。
5/ ネパール：中央銀行が各銀行にウェブサイトをオフラインにするよう指示した。顧客22人が偽のKYC電話で498万7000ネパール・ルピーを失った。
6/ インドネシア：ジャンビ銀行の6,609口座が被害に。1448億2000万ルピア（約880万ドル）が流出した。
7/ シンガポール：偽の署名入り書簡によって1280万ドルがカンボジアへ送金された。全額回収。
8/ マレーシア：2つの銀行にある王族の口座から198万5000リンギットが抜き取られた（民事訴訟）。
9/ スリランカ：財務省がメール詐欺で250万ドルを失った。いまだ回収されていない。
10/ ニュージーランド：偽の警官が22人の銀行口座を乗っ取った。19万8000NZドルが消えた。
11/ カナダ：カナダロイヤル銀行（RBC）の元従業員が、組織犯罪のために偽口座43件を開設したとして有罪に。
12/ メキシコ：ある犯罪集団がSPEI決済システムに対してAIツールを使った。
13/ ブラジル：中央銀行で9カ月間に過去最多の99件のサイバーインシデント、うち68件が詐欺。
14/ 米国：ダラスで14人が起訴：SIMスワップと買収された内部関係者が、3億7300万ドル超を保有する口座を標的にした。フロリダ州の企業は3日間に15回の電信送金で650万ドルを失い、400万ドル超がいまだ行方不明。
15/ フランス：クレディ・ミュチュエル・アルケアが取引先を通じて約1億3300万ドルを失った。15件の中で最大の損失。
では、視野を広げてみよう。
窃盗犯はアプリ、取引先、偽の電話、買収された職員を通じて侵入する。ブラジルは9カ月で2025年の年間件数を上回った。これはまだ始まりにすぎない。
新型コロナは街を封鎖した。銀行の封鎖を命じた政府はない。窃盗犯にはそもそも必要なかった。まだ誰もこれを危機とは呼んでいない。だが日本の警察はすでに、被害者が詐欺師に2度支払う日に備えている。
来週から、日本の警察庁は詐欺口座のデータを807の金融機関と共有する。日本のネットと電話による詐欺の被害額は1月から9月で2610億円（約17億ドル）に達し、2025年の過去最多を上回るペースだ。
ニュースサイトはこうした窃盗を1カ国ずつしか報じず、15カ国すべてをまとめて報じることは決してない。銀行に預金があるすべての人に送ってほしい。
That viral Trump post "cancelling" the CLARITY Act and the Bitcoin Reserve is a fake screenshot. He never posted it.
Fakes like this exist to make you panic-sell to whoever planted them. I don't trade on screenshots. If it isn't on the original account, it didn't happen.
Thailand's SEC filed a criminal complaint against Bitget's operator for allegedly running unlicensed. Access gets blocked Dec 5.
They also named a local YouTuber who promoted it. Referral links aren't free money anymore. I won't promote any exchange my regulator hasn't licensed.
Yeah, one scammer even impersonated as a legit supplier with a legit domain sending PO in pdf file, yes I downloaded it because it looks 99% legit….
Luckily did not open it yet, hopefully.
I am beginning to see malware distributed via Whatsapp messages locally in Malaysia.
Messages from lawyers, engineers containing malware.
Be safe.
