    I can’t get a credit card.

    INTRO 
    A lot of businesses can be started with little to no money. Also, as MJ said. What country are you from? A lot of countries don’t have a modernized credit bureau system. So it might not be so easy to get a credit card like in the US. I’m only familiar with US and Mexico. Even in Mexico the...

    Young folk: Go easy on the booze

    MINDSET 
    Every time I see a huge beer factory in Mexico I can see the psychological and cultural egregore that controls the minds and behavior of people. Very eerie if you can see the eternal connection.

    Essential supplements: Which ones do you take?

    HOT! HEALTH 
    I would avoid any Pharmaceuticals for mental health problems. It can make you worse, make you more disinhibited and even suicidal. Lifestyle changes like diet, exercise and things like journaling or meditating would be the way to go. Supplements like omegas, GABA and probiotics would be...

    An interesting idea is that a lot of these mechanisms are reversible and invertible. If you touch on that exact mechanism you can you use it as a focal point to be a success in your person. I was in Guadalajara 3 weeks ago and I came across a homeless site under a bridge. I've been around...

    I think it's because peoples' bodies are not standardized. People are deficient in different things. Plus I can take magnesium in a supplement form. Not to mention the beverage industry is very competitive. Right now my favorite energy drink is Yerba Mate. They are zero calorie, zero...

    What is the Fastlane stance on Debt?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    Debt is important because it might be cheaper(cost of capital) and better strategically(control) than to source capital from an investor or partner. Most people just fund their business with their credit cards. Once you’ve proven a valuable concept you can approach high net worth individuals...

    9 Dream-Killing Lies You Sell Yourself...

    We are stuck in a circular reasoning of perception and thought. A scam perpetuated by our own inability and unwillingness to confront uncomfortable and embarrassing truths about ourselves. What advice would I give somebody if they are stuck? Study logic, math and economics. Concepts like “it...

    Yeah, that’s the thing about nicotine or any other substance. Too much really starts having the opposite effect. I like having a cigar every once in a while but it has to be a special ritual. It can’t be a daily thing. A good Montecristo or Partagas as a reward.

    GABA or Glycine can help as well. They act as a tranquilizer.

    can a classical musician make a fastlane using TMF and other side-hustle concepts?

    IDEA 
    Absolutely there is the potential. It’s hard and that’s really the point. You have to be unique. But these days with the internet and social media you cut out a lot of the gatekeepers who controlled the entertainment industry. Good luck, that’s a brutal journey but worth it. Oh, and don’t...

    No, the Fed does what it wants outside the control of the treasury and congress. But indirectly a lot of the money does ultimately end up in the stock market. Like in the form of stock buy backs. I'm not sure how it works and I don't think anybody does. They have people that sit at computers...

    Remember when the market crashed in March of 2020 and some investors were actually calling for the government to intervene and buy the market directly? I shake my head but the point is that there is a lot of power and incentive to continue the show. For there to be a crash or a collapse across...

    I personally own no real estate in the US so I’m not that knowledgeable about real estate. And I will definitely never own it here in CA because I hate it. But, owning land and a house that sits on top of it is always better than just logging into your Bank of America account and seeing some BS...

    My opinion is that the “big tell” going forward is the price action tomorrow and Friday. I feel like it’s too much noise on the day of the FOMC meeting. The schmucks at the Fed ain’t doing a good job at all. Although it’s interesting to see retail, discretionary and semiconductors lead the...

    Totally understandable. I’m the same way. None of this is without merit. My guess is the next economic or financial crisis will have its origin in some area in the economy where it was least expected. Then a casual cascade ripple effect affecting credit and equity markets. You won’t have a...

    Well, February is seasonally a high volatility month. So I would be cautious and prepared. When you see complacency build up and everyone is looking at the same technical analysis. That’s when things quickly make a U-turn.

    Do you believe in something your past self would've laughed at?

    I’m embarrassed to say that barely in this stage of my life I finally understand what morality is and why it’s important. The same thing with “evil”. 5-10 years ago I had a very atheistic/materialistic view of the world. These are topics that obviously deviate from the context of this forum...

    Absolutely. These kinds of insider trades are way more common than many think. Heck, remember when they insider traded those geopolitical announcements with the trade war with China. Billions in E-Mini futures contracts. With precision timing. With this trade I'm sure there were some...
