Short trading is good, actually.
Wall Street is a world of hype fanatics who are obsessed with making lines go up and to the right. I'm listening to an entrepreneur saying that it's a "bullshit" way to make money on @AOC 's Twitch. "Insane" and not productive, he says. Sorry dude but that's not the thing

Just watched the movie @Coup53 . It is an incredible document, nailing down the history of the coup in Iran in more detail, more visually, and with more documentation than I've seen before. The explanations are excellent. It's a prologue to Chile 1973, even to Jakarta 1967.
@Coup53 Among other things, it confirms that the UK was the lead agency in organizing the successful coup, but the CIA took credit. People have suggested before that the CIA was better at marketing itself (esp. to Congress) than at actually doing things. thisamericanlife.org/200/hearts-and…
