72241773 : 100% Market Manipulation.    80-90% of his cabinet were all in this morning.

Benjamin2023 OP 72241773 : Sensei 🫶 already reminded everyone — if you still don’t listen, there’s nothing that can be done.

72241773 Benjamin2023 OP : not the point.   IF ANY of his team was aware and put money in.   That is 100% insider trading.    But I forget.   What is illegal for us is NOT ILLEGAL for them.   Classified information CONSTANTLY passed around willingly.   Rape, sexual assault.  Not a crime for rich white guys.

72241773 Benjamin2023 OP : So many MAGAtts cry and whine about Pelosi and her stocks.   Yet we have Trump imposing Tariffs crashing not just one stock but ALL STOCKS.  Wiping out $10 Trillion.    Then his billionaire cabinet Going all in.  Then removing Tariffs to INCREASE THEIR  stocks.    Many people pulled their money from the market this week and they can't pay attention every day to the market or Trump's tweets.   This is 100% Market Manipulation, and insider trading.   100% illegal.

Keiith : How much of this is macro vs pure technicals? Appreciate the deep dive

Derpy Trades OP Keiith : At this point I think it's both unless tariffs get lifted for the most part.

Tliet : what’s your take on the VIX target? 67 still seems crazy low given all the chaos. Stay safe out there

Derpy Trades OP Tliet : ~67 was just the generally measured move, but targets can overshoot.

Lnova : oh, cute

Fist of Fury : I guess a lot are holding on the hope for an announcement to delay tariff but it didn't happen. now unless something happened in after-work hours, the implementation is inevitable at midnight EST. I will not be surprised and is bracing for a good drop in premarket.

Fist of Fury : what scares me more is that gold is dropping as well. I can take a bear market. A recession is far worse. shit is going to hit the fan if we got it by both at the same time. guess we will only know at the 2nd half of the year. end July thereabout.

151822306 Fist of Fury : By July, it was already saflagtion.

Benjamin2023 OP : Such a hottie

NFC South : Bad egg.

Benjamin2023 OP NFC South : He’s such a heart-stealer… acting all cool while secretly stealing our hearts!

72241773 Benjamin2023 OP : Not stealing my heart.   I knew this was coming.   I have a text to a friend telling him to get out of the market in early Feb.   This was right before the last top.    I told him to get into SPX, SQQQ, RWM, etc...    He said he thought we are going to end the year up.  I think there is A LOT MORE down side coming.   Right now my day trading account is up almost 600% in just one week.     I am keeping my puts on DAL and PLTR over night.  DAL earnings a lead up.   Puts will be in place on XLF starting tomorrow.    The US is officially now destroyed by Trump.   The ONLY WAY this market is rebounding.  Is if Congress takes Trump to the Supreme and Argues that Tariffs are taxes.

Ting Amy : Great analysis as always! Now SPY touched 480, and then what? A short DCB, and then lower lows?
