JUST IN: Anthropic is expected to begin its IPO roadshow the week of November 9, according to CNBC, which is the earliest window available to it.
SEC rules require at least 15 calendar days between a public filing and the start of investor meetings, and the company filed its public S-1 on October 26.
It plans to list Class A shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker ANT, with 22 underwriters led by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.

Jesse Livermore made and lost fortunes multiple times.
Stan Druckenmiller shorted $200M worth of internet stocks in 1999 and lost $600M within weeks. Every one of those companies eventually went bankrupt. He was right about the businesses but was wrong on timing.
Kristjan Kullamägi grew his account to $105M, then gave back nearly $60M in about eight months.
Dan Zanger turned a five-figure account into $42M, then reportedly suffered a 75% drawdown.
Paul Tudor Jones lost 60 to 70% of the equity he was managing on a single cotton trade. He nearly quit trading.
These are some of the greatest traders to ever do it. People who understood markets better than most ever will. None of that made them immune to devastating losses.
I was doing my usual re-listen of “Best Loser Wins” by Tom Hougaard, and two stories really stayed with me.
One was about Adam, a brilliant trader with extraordinary patience and discipline. He had built great wealth through his trading. Then one heavily leveraged trade went wrong and wiped out nearly half of it.
But that loss alone wasn’t what destroyed him. It was his inability to accept it and move on. He abandoned the discipline that made him successful in the first place, started doubling down, and desperately tried to make it all back fast.
He went on to lose everything. His money, his home, his family. He ended up homeless.
Then Hougaard talks about another friend who had been trading full-time for 15 years.
He never made “f**k you” money. He earned what someone in a well-paid corporate job would. He paid his bills, took his family on vacations, bought a nice car, and was home when his kids got back from school.
We spend so much time admiring huge returns and huge accounts. And rightfully so. They’re worth admiring, even aspiring to. But we rarely talk about what it takes to keep what we’ve made, or what we’re willing to give up chasing more and more.
Very very few end up as Market Wizards. Then there is the guy who is home when his kids get back from school.

ANTHROPIC IS PRESSING AHEAD WITH ITS IPO DESPITE THE TECH ROUT
• The company still plans to list before Thanksgiving, according to multiple investors in Anthropic
• It expects to raise $80B-$100B at a valuation of $1.25T-$1.75T, up from its current $965B
• One large investor icing around $1.5T, while others involved in the deal anticipate about $1.3T
That would fall short of the $2T some of its most bullish investors had hoped for, per the Financial Times.

$SDEV ran 1000% in two weeks on no news. 167M warrants at $0.05, a holder group sitting on 45M shares at a $0.40 basis — and still not a short until the tape said so.
Six letters have to light up. Oct 5 after the open it had all six. That was the top.

Traded $INO, $CNSY, $CRIS and $DTST today. All winners, with $INO the biggest. I would do a video but I'm sick and sound terrible. I shared every alert and all my research for free at TraderPods.org, and got some kind feedback from a member, so I figured I’d share.
I ght, and I left money on the table today. Trading is hard. October was a terrible month for my swings, and I’m sitting on some bigger unrealized losses. We’re not in the “easy money” market anymore, so it’s time to make community more of a priority so we can all learn and grow together.

Oct 8, 8:00 AM: $BIAF puts out a patent PR. Stock gaps $6 → $8.
Before noon I posted: every equity route runs through one fund’s pen; fastest path is a registered direct off the shelf, priced by the usual banker, PR in the same session.
12:07 PM: $4M registered direct offering at $6.122.
Friday I walk through exactly how the filings dated it and why the deal buyer was a short seller with a guaranteed cover price.
