Volatility of Volatility ( $VVIX) Is Spiking — and So Are Options Premiums. Time to Set the Trap. $VVIX is like the volatility of the $VIX itself it tells us how much uncertainty there is about future volatility. That drives up option prices — especially on products tied to

The lines between dreaming and waking aren’t as clear as they seem. Both are appearances within consciousness. Both reflect your state. The idea that you are just a separate self in a solid world may be the deepest illusion of all. Sit with it.

If your inner world is peaceful, your dream is peaceful. If you’re anxious, the dream turns hostile. The world mirrors you. Not just in dreams, but here too. So when the world feels out of balance, it’s a signal to look within—not just outward.

Waking life is the same. If I come to you now and say, “Everyone you meet is you,” you’ll say, “No, that makes no sense.” But that’s exactly what you would have said in the dream. Maybe the illusion of separation is stronger than we realize.

Now imagine I appeared in your dream and told you, “Everyone here is you.” You’d laugh. You’d say, “What are you talking about? I’m just me.” But when you wake up, you see—it was true. The whole time, you were dreaming yourself in many forms.

Even though you see the dream from a single-person perspective, it’s obvious upon waking: the entire dream came from you. Not just the character you played. The dream world, its people, its emotions—all reflections of your state. You were never just the dreamer.

In a dream, it feels like you’re just one person in a world full of others. But every part of that dream—every character, every word, every event—arises from you. The angry man, the lover, the one who chases you—all of them are you. The whole dream is your mind in motion.

Dream & Reality.I spent the last few days in a small hut on the beach, contemplating the dream state. I believe it holds the key to understanding waking life. Through deep meditation, it’s become clear to me that neither are what we usually call “reality.” My thoughts below 🧵

The S&P 500 just flashed a “golden cross” — the 50-day moving average crossed above the 200-day. Last year it gave a “death cross.” Before that, a Hindenburg Omen. You’re probably wondering why this matters?. It doesn’t. Like most stock market jargon, it’s mostly noise. Over

I often spend time with monks. In this morning’s meditation, the monk shared a powerful insight: There is nothing to do—just be. Do nothing. Be. No climbing mountains or sitting in caves. I don’t even say “be yourself,” because you don’t know yourself. Just be.

Unpopular opinion: You see a bubble? Jump in. Smart money rides the hype and exits early. Bag holders start preaching fundamentals and “how big this will be” — just as the smart money cashes out. That’s how you become exit liquidity.

The $TQQQ thesis couldn’t have played out any better. I’ve had a few DMs this week asking when to take profits — my recommendation: hold. More important than the mechanics is understanding the logic behind why I put it on.

“Think of your dreams. People love, fight, cry, search. It feels so real. But when you wake up, you see:.every character was you. What’s the difference between that and this life?. A dream lasts 8 hours. This lasts 80 years. Different clocks—same illusion. Both rise and fall in

“You imagine I’m giving you something. But in truth, there is no me, no you, no advice. No one coming, no one giving, no one receiving. It’s all a play in consciousness.”. Then the Buddha adds:

There Is No One Helping. A man comes to the Buddha, looking for help. He asks, “Why can’t I find the answers within myself?”. The Buddha replies:.“Because your mind is turned outward. Even your coming to me and receiving help that, too, is happening in your own mind.”

If everyone knows it, it doesn’t matter. $BABA – “Buying shares daily, going parabolic soon”.$PLTR – “Sales multiple is insane, obvious short”.$GOOG – “P/E so cheap, it’s a no-brainer buy”.$TSLA – “Sales will be terrible”. All priced in.
