I think this is superb advice. Worth a careful read:

Michael Milken – Lessons on Money, Family, and Success

(Forum for Family Asset Management, Milken Conference, Mexico City –
paraphrased notes)

Spend time with your kids — you’ll pay for it (for better or worse) either now or
later.

Think about how you measure meaning and success in your children and
grandchildren. Give them purpose.

For children raised in very successful households, it’s often hard to emulate
success — especially financial success.

Most successful people are too busy to see their kids and grandkids. That
absence shows up later in life.

The center of success is the ability to dream.

Real success is the freedom to live your life.

The financial media is obsessed with lists. Forbes today is mostly about
ranking wealth by dollars.

There are countless stories of wealthy people who never had a good day with
their kids.

You’re only as happy as your least happy child — think about that often.
He shared a story about a wealthy Chicago family whose fortune was divided into 1/13th shares after one heir demanded his part. That decision ended up dividing the entire family.

Be careful not to do something that provides financially but destroys the
family.

The most important thing to teach children is financial literacy.

The greatest failure among wealthy families is not providing financial literacy to their members.
Example: an extremely wealthy Latin American family where the
great-grandfather is still alive — his mindset is completely different from that of his great-grandchildren.

In Asia, inheritance traditionally went only to men — that has changed in
recent decades.

Example: Apollo bought the Venetian Hotel and gave all 7,000 employees
stock. They paid a dividend the first year through a recap — everyone saw it as a “Christmas bonus.” The next year, when there was no dividend,
employees were upset. No one had explained the difference between a
dividend and a bonus.

The biggest mistake over the last 50 years has been financial illiteracy — not understanding the business or the source of wealth. Families and employees both need to learn this.

Best example of a united family: an Austrian family that’s 11 generations old. They own a resort used only by the five branches of the family. Ownership
rotates every three years. To be invited when your branch isn’t in charge, you
must get along with the others.

No matter how much you build or earn, what truly matters in the long run is
your relationship with your kids and grandkids.

Define what success means to you — it’s what makes you happy.
Entrepreneurs don’t just build companies; they can build nations or religions.

One of the most successful entrepreneurs in history is Lee Kuan Yew.

It’s not about how many things you own.

If you’ve never been responsible for making payroll, your view of the world is very different.

Hug your kids and grandkids. Let everyone find their own path.

Children growing up around success feel enormous pressure. Remind them
how valuable they are.

Let kids make mistakes when the stakes are low — not high.

The market will not put in a macro top until we get a flurry of AI, robotics, LLM, etc. IPOs.

The insiders will want to cash out before the music truly stops. They know better than anyone on this app what the $ flow looks like... we’re not close to that point yet, just my 2C.

Wealth: For a More Composed Control of Life

The importance of money never lies in the numbers themselves, but in the choices it grants you — the choice to live a better life, the choice to access top-tier medical resources, and the freedom from compromise when it comes to health and the future. When the unexpected strikes, sufficient wealth allows you to immediately secure the world’s most advanced treatments. When life demands quality, it enables you and your family to stay free from anxiety and focus on what truly matters. The foundation of all this lies in wise investing.

It’s fun, edgy, and contrarian to say the AI run is almost over but reality is when you talk to people in real life they still don’t get it or care.

At this point it actually feels contrarian to say we’re going higher.

The more I talk to “normal” people the more I realize nobody really cares about AI. No I’m not talking about your friends who work in tech or VC… normal everyday people who aren’t involved in markets, tech, etc. still don’t care about AI.

All they know is ChatGPT.

Everyone is anticipating the rug being pulled because stocks like Oklo or sectors like quantum are flying.

The Nasdaq doubled in the 10 months of the dot com boom. That would put $QQQ at $1,200. Not saying that happens but things get wild towards the true end.

Once the “normal” people are talking about AI, I’ll feel more inclined to think we’re close to the end.

Until then, higher.

Many traders spend too much time clicking buttons and staring at charts even when there’s less to do.

Not enough time practicing patience, self control, reflecting, refining processes, and working on correcting mistakes.

More of the latter and everything else falls into place.

It irks me when I hear “money isn’t everything.”

Yes of course it’s not everything but it’s very disingenuous to say that money doesn’t amplify one’s life in insurmountable ways.

These comments typically come from the ultra wealthy or mega rich to convince others who don’t have money to just be content without it. Let me be someone who says you should be chasing wealth. Isn’t the reason people work 9-5 jobs they hate because they want money? A small percent of people would work for free because they “love” their jobs.

People who have struggled, seen their family struggle, moved around a lot, etc. know how much money actually means. The amount of stress reduction, opportunity, etc. money provides is unbelievable. I would rather be stressed, sad, or upset with normal life circumstances and have money vs. deal with those circumstances and have no money.

When you’ve had to worry about bills, emergencies, groceries, or how you’re going to get through the next month, money = freedom. There is likely nothing worse than going to bed stressed about money while also dealing with other personal hardships.

Yes you can be sad and go through hard things while having money, but imagine going through a rough time without money and also having to worry about paying for dinner or paying the electricity bill on top of whatever else you’re going through.

You need money to go on vacation, pay for experiences, support your family, take care of your health, and simply live without constant anxiety. Money gives you time, choices, and the ability to live your life without going into debt.

People who say “money isn’t everything” usually say it from a place of comfort. For those who’ve lived through financial stress, wanting to have money and making it a focus isn’t greed… it’s just seeking stability, peace of mind, and control over your own life.

Just as the momentum unwind begins the government comes in to save the day and discusses taking stakes in quantum computing companies.

Stocks going down is a national security risk.

You need to understand that there is no ready-made "investment bible" in this world, and no one will take the initiative to break down and explain the core logic of making money to you in great detail.

Especially in the financial markets, the methods that truly allow you to make consistent profits are never learned from others — they are more like a "private treasure" that you need to explore, experiment with (and learn from mistakes), and even gradually comprehend through repeated losses.

I prefer to miss some of the upside than getting jacked up with a lot more downside. Protect capital!

This is why I am being patient.

Let the market and the stocks form a base and/or a pivot reversal with a follow-through!

People say there's all different ways to make money in the market.

Not true! There's only one way... make more on your winners than you lose on your losers. Strategies are irrelevant. Risk reward is.

Shareholders don’t just own shares—we own the responsibility to push companies toward sustainable, long-term value.​

Too many boards prioritize short-term profits over resilience: lagging on climate action, underinvesting in employees, ignoring governance gaps. This isn’t just bad for the planet or people—it’s bad for returns.​

At TCI, we ask tough questions because accountability drives performance. When companies align purpose with profit, everyone wins: investors, workers, communities.​

The clock isn’t just ticking on ESG targets—it’s ticking on building businesses that last. Let’s stop settling for “good enough.”​
