WHAT IS CAUSING MARKETS TO CRASH TODAY?!?
In a Nutshell
Markets crashed today due to US deployment of 2,500 Marines to the Middle East amid Iran tensions, rising 10-year Treasury yields to 4.39% (up 45 bps in 3 weeks), surging oil at $100/barrel, and shifting rate hike expectations, erasing over $1T in value. Play safe by avoiding overnight or weekend positions in oversold markets prone to sharp recoveries (often via Trump tweets); focus intraday shorting or staying in cash. Buy quality companies like Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia, Google, and Amazon during dips for long-term gains, investing incrementally without overleveraging—join LPP for live trading support.

Power hour is here. Ricky with Tech Solutions. LPP team prepared for this. Currently right around $3,900 on the day. Not a very significant day. Playing it very safe. Announced to LPP team: one really big focus for intraday plays—don't hold any positions over the weekend.
Markets can sell off more, but no way to manage or mitigate risk over the weekend. Common trend for past 3 to 4 weeks: even during Iran situation, markets sell off then sharply recover, often triggered by Trump tweet. Sell off, recover pattern repeatedly. Markets technically oversold.
Would love to see markets go lower to buy Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia, Google—very valuable companies at better deal. Don't use this time to take advantage of companies that don't turn a profit. Most money made investing during downturn into good quality companies. Don't confuse with buying the dip on companies that were down before markets sold off.
Risk-to-reward doesn't make sense to carry shorts over weekend or overnight given oversold conditions. If worth the risk, go ahead. Choosing to play safe and take profits. Markets always find excuse to recover. Markets incredibly bullish long-term, now beginning to curl over, but wait for confirmation rather than enter early and regret if V-shaped recovery.
