ALERT: TRUMP TURNS HIS INSIDER TRADES INTO THIS...
In a Nutshell
Trader holds long positions in Micron and Netflix despite technical weakness, after correcting prior mistakes like entering too early and fighting trends. Trump Media launched a paid API giving institutions real-time access to his market-moving posts, raising conflict-of-interest concerns over monetizing insider information. Markets face uncertainty from US-Iran conflict and semiconductor weakness, with the trader outlining three trading approaches for tomorrow: cash, dip-buying, or shorting.

Trader started the day up $7,000 but gave back $700 in extended hours. Currently holding 50 shares of Micron with an average price around $8.48, maintaining a long position despite acknowledging the stock remains technically bearish. The trader is comfortable holding because Micron is oversold enough and believes the risk-reward ratio makes sense.
Identified and corrected mistakes from the previous day: going in too aggressive, entering too early, not taking profits quickly enough, and fighting the trend. The trader emphasizes learning from these errors and fixing them.
Bought the dip on Netflix and took a larger position than initially planned. The stock was found attractive at current levels. The trader lost $1,000 on this position but maintains an average purchase price of $68.10, which is considered favorable. The position is held with excitement about potential market movement tomorrow.
Netflix beat EPS expectations but missed revenue. Revenue was down 35% quarter over quarter. The stock is considered fundamentally undervalued but technically bearish with terrible price momentum. The stock made new 52-week lows with a big leg down, declining 8.9% in a single session. Consistent pattern of lower lows and lower highs was observed.
President Trump converted his insider trading advantage into a paid subscription service through Truth Social (ticker: DJT). Trump Media launched a paid API providing Wall Street real-time access to his posts. Multiple high-frequency trading firms have already signed up for this service. The API gives direct and quicker access to his posts, including his own content.
Trump's posts already move markets, particularly regarding peace deals and policy announcements. Trump is aware of this market-moving capability. The paid API provides more direct and faster access to this information for institutional traders.
The launch raises questions about abuse of power and conflict of interest. The president is monetizing direct access to information that moves markets through a back-end API. This represents selling access to market-moving information while simultaneously creating that market movement.
Markets were trading lower earlier but the Nasdaq showed a nice uptick in the past 10-15 minutes. Micron also experienced a nice push higher. The trader is monitoring whether this momentum carries into the next trading day.
Semiconductor stocks have been in a consistent downturn. Micron is currently down 33% from previous all-time highs. The sector has experienced significant selling pressure.
The US and Iran are actively attacking one another. Trump made clear from his initial attack on July 7th that he has 60 days to attack and continue attacking without congressional approval. The trader believes Trump will attempt to take advantage of this window.
Three potential approaches for Friday's trading session:
- Stay in cash due to uncertainty
- Buy the dip on semiconductor and memory chip stocks that are 30-40% off recent highs, anticipating potential recovery
- Short semiconductor and memory chip stocks, expecting continued selling pressure
Semiconductor stocks sold off 5% today and 10% yesterday, creating two favorable days for bears.
Tomorrow's live trading session with the LPPT team begins at market open when the bell rings. Viewers can see all entries, exits, and hear the thought process behind every trade, including both good and bad trades. The second link in the description provides access to join or preview the session.
The trader encourages viewers to end the year on a green note and signs off for Thursday.
