TRUMP ALERT: Watch This Before Markets Close Today!!!
In a Nutshell
Markets hit record highs with S&P 500 up 13.3% since March lows, driven by AI hype (Intel, Alphabet's $40B Anthropic investment), but speaker holds a small SQQQ position (avg. $52.96) betting on a near-term Nasdaq pullback amid weekend geopolitical risks and big tech earnings. DOJ dropped its probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell, highlighting prosecution biases favoring politicians over soldiers. Emphasizes patience, risk management for beginners via LPP live sessions, and independent criticism of Trump despite support—watch for peace deal announcements and MAG7 results next week.

Happy Friday. NASDAQ market up 1.72% due to Intel and excitement behind the AI revolution. Alphabet (Google), with huge market cap, supposedly investing additional $40 billion into Anthropic. S&P 500 officially closed at record high. S&P and Nasdaq up 13.3% since March lows. S&P 500 added $7.6 trillion in market cap value in 19 days after losing a decent amount and gaining it back quickly. Strongest rallies without much pullback. Let me know in comments if sustainable.
Markets celebrated end of Iran war 50 different times. If peace deal this weekend, markets push higher. How many times celebrate end of Iran war? Want to give Trump Nobel Peace Prize for ending most wars of any president, yet still on edge of attacking.
Justice Department drops investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Originally a witch hunt because Trump didn't like Powell not cutting rates. How cut rates with inflation going up? Not just Powell; it's a committee that votes on raising, cutting, or pausing rates.
FBI and DOJ prosecuted soldier who bet on Venezuela in little time. Contrast with patience demanded for other prosecutions. Soldiers yes, politicians and bureaucrats no. Conflict of interest with politicians insane; everyone agrees we don't want it but nothing gets done.
Took position in SQQQ (inverse ETF of QQQ, goes up 3x when Nasdaq down 1%). Stayed patient, let markets rally. Bought dip, break even, small position. Average price around $52.96. Oversold but no reversal confirmation. Add more if Nasdaq sells off. Upside potential 3%, downside less than 1%. QQQ has 4:1 profit potential vs risk ratio (3:1 baseline). Announced to LPP team; they watch live trades daily.
Don't join LPP just to copy trades; not every trade green. For beginners feeling lost, daily live sessions at market open give direction. Preach patience, not overtrading, waiting for setups. Took 3-4 hours to take this trade. Market manipulation via tweets unfortunate but participate anyway. Let it pump, then correct, especially with weekend uncertainty. Trump escalates weekends, peace deal by Monday.
Voted for Trump but criticize him; not Democrat, not MAGA. Trump human, not God. Okay to criticize without bending knee. Political preference doesn't define. Criticize market manipulation, conflict of interest, enriching in office. Pathetic to defend because others do it.
Big tech reporting earnings next week. Excitement around AI. Will MAG7 stocks deliver? If yes, markets higher; if no, retracements at elevated levels. Listen for peace deal announcement by Trump by Sunday, perfect timing for overnight futures.
Subscribe for updates. For beginners: risk management, trade criteria, quality trades, not overtrading. Not for aggressive options traders; for shares investing/trading understanding opportunities. Second link in description for LPP. See you Monday live. End year green.
