ALERT: TRUMP SENDS WARNINGS TO IRAN "ITS TOO LATE"
In a Nutshell
Markets face volatility from alleged Iranian attacks on Israel and US interests, Trump's warnings of escalating US responses ("too late to talk"), and oil surges (WTI +11%, USO +5.7%) after Iraq's oil field shutdown and Strait of Hormuz closure, wiping over $1T from equities while gold/silver retrace. Yesterday's rally was a bull trap; advice for traders: capitalize on intraday oil longs with risk management, trim uncertain positions, avoid leverage, and favor cash amid rapid shifts from tweets or attacks.

Markets are trying to recover. NASDAQ attempting recovery from lows of 591 to 600 per share. Question: Will markets recover to all-time highs soon, or is there more uncertainty, especially with ongoing attacks?
Shared video of supposed recent attack from Iran in Israel. Verified with multiple AI softwares as real; multiple news outlets sharing it. Markets do not like uncertainty. US has not retaliated yet to attack on US embassy in Saudi Arabia.
Trump stated big attacks are yet to come; US is just getting started. Yesterday's dip buy rally seemed like a bull trap. Today made even lower lows. For long-term investors buying quality companies with available money to hold: good positioning. Hope people didn't overleverage yesterday.
Advice on Trading in Uncertainty
- Take advantage of opportunities whether bullish or bearish.
- Things affecting market today might not matter next week.
- NASDAQ looks bullish but open to selling at open.
- If uncertain with heavy position, trim now to avoid devastation on retrace.
Over $1 trillion wiped out since open. President Trump: virtually unlimited supplies of munitions; wars can be fought forever successfully. Supports case that attacks won't stop soon.
Trump told Iran's new leadership that it is too late to talk.
If not done with Iran, why markets recovering?
Iraq shuts down world's second largest oil field following Strait of Hormuz closure. Justifies oil prices skyrocketing. United States Oil Fund (USO) up 5.7%. WTI up 11% on the day. Oil trades make sense intraday with risk management: more closures mean rising demand, shrinking supply, higher prices. Short-term trades, not investments.
Over $1.3 trillion wiped from gold and silver in last hour; both seeing retracement.
MARA (largest public Bitcoin miner, second largest public Bitcoin holder with 53,000 bitcoins behind MicroStrategy) updating treasury policy to consider selling Bitcoin reserves. Reminder on leverage: if smart, don't need it; if dumb, shouldn't use it. In uncertain times, better to stay cash than trade volatility. Market direction can change quickly with a tweet or attack announcement.
Up $3,700 on MSTZ (inverse ETF for MSTR). Covered 50% long position at $13 per share, bought more below $12 per share as markets sold off. Riskier trade going against MSTR direction. Does not believe in Bitcoin recovery amid uncertainty like MARA potentially selling holdings. Intraday plays: close most shorts intraday; overnight uncontrollable risk. Shares ideas, not recommendations.
NASDAQ down 1.3% (was down 2-2.5%).
