One laptop, one glass of rosé, one beach in St. Barths. That was my entire trading setup yesterday afternoon. No six-monitor wall, no scrolling Bloomberg terminal, no eight indicators stacked on top of each other arguing with themselves. Just me, the laptop, and what the market was actually doing. I called NVIDIA bullish and WOLF bullish with a target of $41 (today it’s up almost 10%).

The trader in me cannot stop noticing things, and I want to share something that has nothing to do with charts. Peter Lynch built one of the greatest investing track records in history while running Fidelity's Magellan Fund. He averaged 29% per year for 13 years. The best investment ideas, he said, don't come from a Bloomberg terminal. They come from paying attention to the world you're already in.
