Do Your Stocks Own YOU? + Oddity Deep Dive, Gold vs Bitcoin & The End of US Exceptionalism?

Do your stocks own YOU — or do you own them? This week we tackle identity-driven investing, with a Thomas Chua quote that should make every investor uncomfortable. Monkey walks through his complete $ODD (Oddity Tech) investment process — from first nibble at $36, to options at the lows, to literally unboxing Spoiled Child collagen live on air. It's classic Peter Lynch meets beauty influencer. Plus: Gold smashes through $5,150 while Bitcoin bleeds. VIX at 32 — why Monkey sees opportunity when everyone else sees chaos. An 18-year trendline break that questions US exceptionalism. And a YouTube troll who accidentally gave us great content. Key topics: - Options selling in high-VIX environments - $ODD full investment process: fundamentals to technicals to options to becoming a customer - Thomas Chua: "Some investors don't own a stock — the stock owns them" - Gold vs Bitcoin vs Bonds vs Property: is there ANY store of value? - 18-year US vs Rest of World trend break - YouTube troll response: why holding contradictory views is the point - Spoiled Child product unboxing Sources: Thomas Chua (@SteadyCompound): https://x.com/i/status/2030833466506682776 Tickers: $ODD $LINK $BTC $TSLA $GOOGL $AMZN $EOSE $PLTR
