According to @StockMarketNerd, the last Buffett letter underscores that short-term S&P 500 outperformance can be driven by luck, while sustaining market-beating returns over decades requires disciplined thinking and behavior as exemplified by Buffett and Munger (source: @StockMarketNerd on X, Nov 10, 2025). According to @StockMarketNerd, traders should separate luck from repeatable edge by evaluating performance over multi-year horizons and focusing on process quality rather than short-term variance (source: @StockMarketNerd on X, Nov 10, 2025).

According to Michaël van de Poppe, the extreme vertical price action on Gold suggests that we are entering the final stage of its current bull run. Since 2020, Gold has outperformed the S&P 500, highlighting the exceptional nature of this price movement. Traders should be alert as once Gold peaks, it could signal a shift to risk-on assets, potentially leading to a bounce in such markets. This strategic insight offers potential trading opportunities as investors may pivot to other asset classes post-peak.
