SSAB - June 18, 2026

Ow, I’m sore! Guess the leg workout was good enough.

Steve, sounds like you don’t like Warren Buffett, nor Mohnish Pabrai. But what if they offered you a job? Would you take it? What would YOUR value proposition be? (Or what if Codi Sanchez offered you a job, would you take it? What would your offer be? She has a podcast studio!) Key takeaways:

-Keep your job (Buffett was employed in several capacities and didn’t become Berkshire Hathaway’s chairman until 1970… when he was 40.)

-Put all your eggs in one basket… AND WATCH THAT BASKET!

-Don’t get divorced. Work out another agreement.

-And… go to school? (Wharton School of Business, Masters in Economics, and New York Institute of Finance)

-This kinda runs counter to the whole “get a job in the trades” theme that pops up from time to time.

Apostillation continues… why isn’t this on record?

Chinese stonks look like they’re bottoming (in New York).

And someone sent me $1000. Did I take it?
