NASDAQ ended 1.5% in the red, down over 2% at one point, then recovered into the close with consolidation, not a V-shaped recovery. After significant sell-off with lack of progress, cash out when in doubt. LPP team performed well across markets and specific stocks. Congratulate traders, shout out to LPP trader crossing $100,000 for the first time. Focus: risk management, position size management, healthy habits for beginners to avoid past mistakes, be selective with trade-based criteria.

PayPal sold off 20% after earnings. CMG after market close: fell 11% at one point, hit lows of $34, consolidating around $36.30. 4-hour timeframe shows more downside based on previous lows, consistent lower highs and lower lows despite recent upswing. Long-term direction bearish. New CEO, hope for turnaround, but not surprising with guidance of sharp drop in restaurant traffic. Retail companies reporting lower guidance and consumer spending for 2026 than expected.
Markets contradict companies lowering 2026 guidance while trading at all-time highs. Stock market does not represent economy or how Americans are doing. People spending less, expected slowdowns. Red flags not to drive panic. Invested in Magnificent Seven stocks, no intention to sell all, not overleveraged, cash heavy to buy pullbacks. Be well balanced: enough skin in game to stay motivated, but tolerate downturns.
Bitcoin falls below $73,000 for first time since its run. $285 million liquidated from crypto market in past 60 minutes. Don't trade crypto, focus on Bitcoin to short MicroStrategy (MSTR), a company that buys Bitcoin. Right to invest in speculative assets, but no leverage—terrible when it turns. Can't tolerate downturns with borrowed funds, leads to margin calls. Crypto full of leverage, wouldn't hit $126K without 40x on unregulated platforms.
Michael Saylor and Tom Lee (Ethereum, Bitcoin) now in the red. Tom Lee over $6 billion in the red. MicroStrategy position red after 5-10 years buying Bitcoin. Average purchase price matters, not 20,000% rise from creation. Biggest crypto investors overleveraged at overbought levels, examples of what not to do. They use others' money, no margin call worry. Dilute shareholders by issuing shares to buy more crypto.
Buy whatever speculative asset you can tolerate. Just please do not use leverage.
Michael Saylor sitting on $1.5 billion unrealized BTC losses, not even in bear market yet.
MSTR reports Thursday, first time reporting unrealized loss for Q4 2025 under new accounting rule allowing unrealized gains/losses. Past quarters profitable via unrealized gains, now losses. Hit lows of $126 today. Could hit sub-$100 by week end? Not encouraging shorts, especially overnight on high-risk stock. If earnings bad and sentiment negative, possible 20-30% drop. Already down over 60% in past 3-4 months, closer to $100 than $200.
Tomorrow: Uber before open, Alphabet after close. Thursday: Amazon and MicroStrategy after close. Today after close: Super Micro up 10% then 4.8%; CMG down 6-7%; AMD down 7-8%. Common theme: better-than-expected earnings but lower 2026 guidance, with Fed expected one rate cut in 2026.
Focus on data, numbers, not hype. Talk risk management and downside risk. Beginners should consider both sides: what you can make and lose, for informed decisions. Understand downside risk vs. profit potential to determine if worth it. Simple steps to avoid huge losses like MSTR bagholders. See tomorrow's live trading, join via second link. End year on green note.
