Trading Comes First. Everything Else Can Wait.
About this episode
In this episode, David Capablanca explains why he’s ending the free bonus webinars after noticing entitlement and lack of engagement from people who didn’t pay, reinforcing that skin in the game is essential for real progress. He shares how free access often attracts the wrong mindset, distracts from focused trading, and can ultimately hurt performance—reminding listeners that if trading suffers, everything else falls apart.
David also breaks down a recent PIPE unlock on CAST, the hedging mechanics with pre-funded warrants, and why non-gappers like FLGC are dangerous at meaningful size, while inviting serious traders interested in continuing the work to reach out about joining Friendly Bear University.
