ALERT: Trump To Pardon US Soldier Arrested For A $400,000 Bet?!?
In a Nutshell
Trump analyzes Intel's post-earnings surge to nearly $400B market cap despite negative P/E and overvaluation, warns of a potential crash, and notes NASDAQ's V-reversal amid Strait of Hormuz closure risks. He calls out hypocrisy in a US soldier's arrest for $400K insider trading profit on Maduro's capture—urging Trump pardon—while politicians like Congress and Trump family profit massively from conflicts. Critiques government bailing out Spirit Airlines, rampant tech layoffs despite market highs, and Friday trading opportunities.

Tomorrow is Friday, the Strait of Hormuz will be officially closed on Friday but open again on Monday right before markets open. Trump's attacks are probably here. Intel reported earnings after markets closed and beat expectations on earnings per share. Market expectation was 2 cents per share, actual was 29 cents, a huge surprise though still terrible. Revenue beat by 9.4%. The outlook presented for investors was key.
Intel is incredibly overvalued since Trump administration took a 10% stake, propping it up. On daily chart, Intel struggled, consolidating between $17 and $30 per share, then broke out after the stake, increasing over 173% with higher highs and higher lows. The administration owns 10%, likely to continue skyrocketing if you believe in it. Still overbought, not recommending short yet. Fair value based on analysts offers 40-45% downside. Makes $26 million net income yearly before 22% after-hours push. Market cap was $335 billion before close, now nearly $400 billion. P/E ratio negative 1,255x. Produces revenue but little profit. Speculative companies can sustain elevated levels, but be careful at these levels. Speculative stocks crash hardest if uncertainty hits. History shows stocks with sharp increases unsupported by fundamentals sink when reality sets in. Great story and attention now, makes sense as a long trade, no reversal confirmation yet despite overbought signals. Watch tomorrow's price action for support break and potential short.
NASDAQ had full V-shaped reversal because it's Trump's market, rejected at same levels. Wish markets were open to short the drop. Position on MSTZ: bought dip, let it rip, took profits, $4,400 profit that day, position fully closed. Doesn't carry trade positions overnight, especially shorts.
Representative Anna Paulina Luna calls for President Trump to pardon US soldier arrested for making over $400,000 betting on Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro's capture. Soldier partook in planning and execution of Maduro capture operation, had access to non-public information. Betting on it with insider info likely illegal. Sounds like what Congress does with insider trading. Unless DOJ goes after crooks in Congress, it's skewed justice. Soldier risked life, had skin in the game. Conflict of interest acknowledged: took $33,000 position, bet on himself with non-classified info, prediction markets paid $49,000, netted $400,000. If failed, lost $33,000. Congress invests in regulated companies, makes favorable decisions. Trump example: calls himself crypto president, created crypto project two months before inauguration. Poetic that soldier risking death gets book thrown for insider trading while administration walks scot-free. Trump family made over $400 billion off presidency, crypto alone $3 billion. Doesn't take salary, but wouldn't if making $3-4 billion.
Trump says US government should buy Spirit Airlines and sell for profit when oil prices drop. Makes sense in perfect world, but taxpayers fund $500 million loan to failing airline. If fails, not detrimental to economy, let it fail. Tech layoffs: Meta 8,000 jobs, 1,700 from Reality Labs; Amazon 16,000; Salesforce 1,500; 5100 2000; Oracle 20-30,000. Markets at all-time highs with weak labor market, rising inflation, rising oil prices, expensive homes, average American struggling.
Insider trading for Congress while people struggle. Called out Nancy Pelosi and every politician insider trading. No family member or Congress individual should invest in companies they regulate. General baskets like NASDAQ or S&P 500 okay. Politicians serve people, no other gain than job. Everyone aware of corruption, conflicts of interest, nothing done. Soldier faces up to 60 years federal prison.
Lots of opportunity tomorrow, Friday when Trump escalates, Strait of Hormuz closed. Markets may react, open by Monday.
