When I login to Fidelity outside US, they will try to verify my identity by sending one time code to my phone every time. This is very annoying so I set up WireGuard to use my office as VPN so I appear logging in to Fidelity from my office even I am actually in Japan. WireGuard is a modern, fast VPN protocol — much simpler than OpenVPN or IPSec. Here’s my setup: • WireGuard server running on my home router (QNAP QHora-301W) • WireGuard client on iPhone/iPad • When connected, all traffic routes through my NYC office IP • Fidelity sees my home IP and skips the verification step Why WireGuard over traditional VPN? • Extremely fast — barely noticeable latency • Simple config — just a few lines • Battery friendly on mobile • Free and open source The setup took about 30 minutes. Now I can trade from Japan without any friction. Works great for Fidelity, Interactive Brokers, and accessing my trading system remotely. Happy to share the config details if anyone wants to try it!

After working hard for the last 7 months, we are close to launching the next phase for growth - the US hedge fund. As the market recovered, I am generally bullish for the next 2 weeks. This means we are just holding our long term positions until it is an optimal time to take profit. Meanwhile, I will be heading to Fukuoka and Tokyo Japan. I was " " this close to going to Hokkaido this year but my wife decided to go Fukuoka. So we are going to Fukuoka instead. YAY! Time to become a travel blog influencer instead of a finance influencer / portfolio manager. I will still be monitoring the market, being active in the community and answer any questions.

The market's closed. Your mind doesn't have to be. You made your moves this week. Staring at charts won't change them. Step away. Touch grass. Hug someone. Eat something good. Monday will come soon enough. Be ready, not burned out.

Investors, big move yesterday —Meta snapped up Assured Robot Intelligence (ARI) on May 1st to power its humanoid robotics ambitions. ARI's AI crushes robot dexterity, manipulation, and adaptive learning for real-world humanoids. Meta Platforms Inc. acquired Assured Robot Intelligence (ARI), a startup specializing in AI models for robots, to advance its humanoid robotics efforts. The deal closed on May 1, 2026, with financial terms undisclosed. Acquisition Details ARI develops robotic intelligence that enables robots to understand, predict, and adapt to human behaviors in dynamic environments. The startup's team, including co-founders Lerrel Pinto (NYU professor and former Fauna Robotics co-founder) and Xiaolong Wang (former Nvidia researcher and UC San Diego associate professor), will join Meta's Superintelligence Labs. ARI, founded in May 2025 and backed by AIX Ventures, focuses on high-precision dexterity, manipulation, robot control, and self-learning for whole-body humanoid applications. Meta's Robotics Strategy Meta aims to build software and AI for humanoid robots, positioning itself like Android in mobile—licensable to hardware makers—rather than producing its own initially. This acquisition bolsters efforts in consumer-facing humanoids for tasks like household chores, drawing on Meta's expertise in hand tracking, sensors, and Llama AI. Competitors include Tesla's Optimus and Figure AI, amid a race toward a potential $5 trillion market Key Highlights: - Co-founders Lerrel Pinto (NYU prof) + Xiaolong Wang (ex-Nvidia) join Meta's Superintelligence Labs. - Meta eyes "Android for humanoids"—software/AI stack for licensing to hardware makers (no initial hardware). - $5T market potential vs. Tesla Optimus, Figure AI—Meta leverages Llama, hand-tracking, sensors.
