☕️ GM Munchers!

Matt here from Lark Funding. CEO. Still bald. Still processing what happened last weekend.

Saturday afternoon, I tweeted something I thought was completely uncontroversial:

Then I went to watch Love Is Blind with my wife and contemplate my life choices in -20° Quebec weather.

When I came back:

• 90,000+ views

• 195 comments

• Almost 1,000 likes

• And apparently I'd started a civil war

The Hate Was... Creative

Exhibit A: The Stoic

My response: "You don't sound very stoic"

(This one actually hurt because I like Stoicism. But telling me to shut up doesn't feel very zen, does it?)

Exhibit B: The Alien Guy

My response: "You must be fun at parties"

(Got 40+ likes. Didn't bother me much because I'm still on the fence about aliens anyway.)

Exhibit C: The Bias Police

This was the big one. Dozens of replies saying:

Yeah. I am biased.

You know why?

Because prop firms changed my life.

I spent years trying to flip a $500 account. Made every mistake possible. Blew up repeatedly.

Not because my strategy was bad.

Because $500 isn't enough capital to matter.

Then I joined a prop firm. Got funded. Traded full-time for 2 years. Then started Lark Funding.

So yeah, I'm biased the same way your doctor is biased toward medicine. Are you going to ignore health advice because he's financially incentivized to write prescriptions?

Didn't think so.

The Math Nobody Wants To Hear

• 5% monthly return on $500 account = $25

• 5% monthly return on $100K prop account (costs $500) = $5,000

That's 200x more profit for the same skill level.

Case closed.

Unless you're trading $100K+ of your own money (congrats, I'm jealous), prop firms are literally your only path to making trading income actually matter.

"But Personal Accounts Have Benefits!"

Look, I get it:

✅ No payout delays
✅ No consistency rules
✅ No risk of rule changes

All valid points.

Solution: Don't join scammy prop firms.

(Wow. Revolutionary advice from a prop firm CEO. You're welcome.)

Why This Tweet Hit a Nerve

I think people got mad because the truth is uncomfortable:

Most traders don't have $100K lying around.

And admitting that prop firms are necessary means admitting your personal account isn't enough.

That stings.

But here's the thing—I wish someone had told me this years ago when I was grinding that $500 account into dust.

My strategy wasn't the problem. My capital was.

Once I fixed the capital problem (via prop firms), everything changed.

That's not bias. That's just math and personal experience.

Anyway, rant over.

If you want to argue with me about this, just reply to this email. Join the chaos.

See you tomorrow,

Matt
CEO, Lark Funding

P.S. Two weeks left for our January promo: Get funded, make a payout, get a FREE second challenge of the same size. It's the cheapest way to scale. Because apparently I'm biased toward helping traders make more money. Shocking.
