Hello Traders,Tonight is the night! My Sherpa and I will be heading up toward Camp 3 (which is at 7,000 m (23,000 ft)) in order to drop off oxygen tanks and some supplies, and then we will be coming back down. We will be crossing the famous Khumbu Icefall that has taken so many lives (including three Sherpas this year alone). No one has been able to fix the rope above Camp 4 so far....

I am feeling at peace here and I am ready to make the push higher! Thank you for your positive emails yesterday! I read them all and they made me feel great. Here are a couple of...

I have some exciting news to share with you all. I have reached the base camp of Everest. It is nothing new to me as I was here in 2015 when the earthquake first hit and stopped me from going up Mount Everest. Hopefully this time around, I can make it all the way. In the picture above, you can see the Khumbu Icefall as well as the tents at the base camp. I will rest...

Dear Traders,The past few days were extremely hard in the mountains. The cold was like no other experience I have had, and Mera Peak was extremely tough on me! The image below is exhausted me, trying to make it to the most difficult peak I have encountered. I have climbed so many high altitude peaks all over the world: Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, and more! None were so challenging and cold. At times on my attempts...

Dear Traders,In the past few days, I have learned so many lessons from Mother Nature, and I have had the opportunity to reflect much on my life. Camping at Mera Peak, beside the icefalls, has been a beautiful and unforgettable experience. Looking at the campsite, you can see that we are at the edge of the mountains, and you can also observe how fragile life is. Accordingly, why not take some chances and live your...

Dear Traders,  Hello from Nepal!Ā I have landed at the most dangerous airport in the world! Lukla Airport is located between the mountains and is called ā€œthe most dangerous airport in the worldā€. The reason being is its geographical location. Luklaā€™s airport is on a mountainside, at an altitude of 2,830 meters (9,285 feet), and has a very short runway, only 457 meters (1,500 feet) long and 20 meters (66 feet) wide. So, if you want to...

Dear Traders,Ā Thank you so much to everyone who joined my farewell social yesterday and wished me luck! It was heartwarming to see so many of your faces, to chat with you, and to receive so many positive vibes. Today, right after my morning trade, I left the Vancouver office for the airport to catch my flight to India. It is a 15-hour flight to New Delhi, and then I am on to Kathmandu to meet...

Dear Traders,Elon Musk is having a bad day. At his favorite number, 4/20, his Tesla stock is down 10%, his net worth is shrinking, and his SpaceX Starship exploded a few seconds after launch. Just about a year ago, he was Timeā€™s Person of the Year, but now he is stuck with his Twitter acquisition, paying $3m in interest a day on the worst deal of the century, his net worth is shrinking daily, and...
