While everyone argues about design and cameras, Samsung shipped more devices than Apple and took the lead 🔥 In the most recent quarter, Samsung shipped around 60 million smartphones while Apple shipped just over 50 million. That gap translates into roughly 21 percent of global shipments for Samsung versus about 17 percent for Apple, which matters because install base drives app revenue, services, and future upgrades. Smart money watches who controls volume, because that is where long-term ecosystem power really sits. #Samsung #Apple #Smartphones #TechInvesting #WealthMindset

Researchers at Google’s Threat Intelligence Group have identified a new experimental malware family, dubbed PROMPTFLUX, that uses large language models (LLMs) to modify its own code in real time to evade detection. The malware, described as a Trojan horse, interacts with Google’s Gemini AI API to dynamically rewrite, obfuscate, and generate malicious functions on demand – a technique Google calls “just-in-time” code generation. This marks a major leap toward autonomous and adaptive malware, capable of evolving faster than traditional cybersecurity defenses. While PROMPTFLUX appears to still be in its development phase and hasn’t yet been seen infecting real systems, Google warns that it could signal the rise of an underground market for illicit AI tools, lowering the barrier for less skilled hackers. The company notes that state-sponsored actors from countries including North Korea, Iran, and China are already experimenting with AI-enhanced operations. In response, Google introduced a new framework for AI security and unveiled Big Sleep, an AI agent designed to identify vulnerabilities in software, underscoring an emerging reality in cybersecurity: it’s now AI versus AI in a rapidly escalating digital arms race.

🧠 Thinking like an investor means seeing money differently. Every dollar you spend or invest has potential beyond its face value. It’s not just about what you buy today, it’s about what that money could have become tomorrow. If you invest $100 and it doubles to $200, you’ve made a $100 profit. But if you spend that same $100 on sneakers, those shoes didn’t just cost you $100. They cost you $200 because that’s what you could have earned if you had invested instead. 💡 This is called opportunity cost. It’s the hidden cost of the choices we make with our money. Every purchase has an unseen price tag attached to it, which is the potential return that money could have made if it was invested. This doesn’t mean you should never enjoy life or spend on things you love. It means being mindful about what truly adds long term value to your life versus what gives short term satisfaction. Investors understand that time is their biggest asset, and every dollar can be a tiny employee working for their future. 💬 Comment “Stocks” if you want a link to see my dividend portfolio and how I use long term investing to build passive income over time.

Most guys are surprisingly loyal to their barbers ✂️ A UK survey of 2,000 adults compared how people feel about their barbers versus their partners. Nearly 3 in 10 men said they’d never switch barbers, no matter what. Even more telling, 13% admitted they’d feel guiltier “cheating” on their barber than on a partner. On average, it only takes three visits before someone locks in, and a good cut can keep that loyalty for years. Love learning? Follow @Wealth ⭐ #Loyalty #Barbers #Relationships #UK #ConsumerBehavior

In 1980, three identical triplets—Robert Shafran, Eddy Galland, and David Kellman—unexpectedly discovered each other by chance at a New York college! Separated at birth and adopted by different families, the brothers were unknowingly part of a secret psychological study on nature versus nurture. None of them knew the others existed—until a chance encounter at a college party brought two of them together. Their emotional reunion quickly became national news, eventually exposing a disturbing and controversial experiment that had kept them apart for years. - #history #storytelling #wholesome #photography #college #vintage #kindness

Consumers are turning more cautious on the labour market. The Labor Differential, which measures the gap between those saying “jobs are plentiful” versus “jobs are hard to get,” dropped to just 9.7 in August its lowest reading in years. The shift reflects a growing sense that the market is softening, with more people now reporting that finding work is getting tougher. This matters because the Labor Differential has historically been a leading indicator for unemployment trends. With consumer sentiment weakening, pressure on the broader jobs market could build further in the months ahead, challenging the resilience of the economy. #JobsReport #Unemployment #LaborMarket #Economy #Recession #Macro #Markets #Employment #JobMarket #EconomicOutlook

Buying a home is often seen as one of the biggest financial milestones in life, but most people don’t realize how much they actually end up paying for that house over the life of the loan. 🏡 Let’s take an example: a $250,000 home with a small 3.5 percent down payment of $8,750. That leaves a loan amount of $241,250. At an interest rate of 6.5 percent over 30 years, the numbers get shocking. The total interest paid comes out to $307,701.08. That is more than the cost of the house itself. Adding in the original loan balance of $241,250, the total amount paid over 30 years is $548,951.08. 💸 This shows why understanding how interest works is so critical in personal finance. The sticker price of the house is not the true cost. The mortgage terms, interest rate, and loan length all play huge roles in how much wealth you keep versus how much you hand over to the bank. Homeownership can absolutely be a wealth building tool, but only if you manage it wisely. Paying extra toward the principal, refinancing for a better rate, or shortening the loan term are strategies that can save you tens of thousands of dollars. 🏦 Wealthy people understand that every dollar saved in interest is a dollar that can be invested elsewhere. Imagine if even a portion of that $307,701.08 in interest was instead invested into the stock market over 30 years. With compound growth, it could easily turn into millions. That is why managing debt is just as important as learning how to invest. True wealth building comes from keeping more of your money working for you instead of letting it slip away in interest payments. 📈 If you want to see how I personally invest and manage my portfolio, comment “Stocks” and I’ll share it with you. 📩 Would you rather pay off your mortgage early and save on interest or invest extra cash while keeping the loan? 🤔 Follow @MasteringWealth for more insights on personal finance, investing, and strategies to help you grow wealth and make smarter money moves. 🚀 Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice.

A 1945 photograph captures two women comparing what $1.34 could purchase in 1918 versus 1945. The woman representing 1918 displays only a few modest items, illustrating the impact of inflation and wartime scarcity on buying power. In contrast, the 1945 woman presents a much larger assortment, reflecting post–World War II economic improvements and the shifting realities of inflation and consumer markets.
