A lot of people are asking: Why is Trump actively screwing American farmers so badly when they’re his most loyal voting bloc? Maybe because it’s a cheap land grab. Run farmers out of business, then he and his billionaire buddies buy up millions of acres for pennies on the

We just saw the biggest drop in call premiums over the last 14 sessions (both overall and OTM). At the same time, put premiums and put volume are starting to pick up. Looking at unusual_whales market tide and gamma exposure tool, this is where things get interesting. Price and

The market's frothy—first time since April lows. Too many are dumping full portfolios into single stocks. Using extreme leverage. No real dip since April, but a pullback will come. Not yet. But soon. Lock in tight risk controls, stay sharp. Enjoy the ride, but manage risk.

The S&P rose five days in a row and so did the $VIX. That almost never happens. It tells me the market is now well-hedged. Investors are cautious, not euphoric. With the $VIX near 18, fear is priced in. A small pullback maybe, but a big selloff looks unlikely.

Never forget: the biggest fortunes are made in bubbles. And when bubbles pop, the next generation of leaders emerges. I watched it happen in the 2000s when gold ripped from $300 → $2,000 in a few years. Canadian mining stocks were printing money. IPOs every week. Madness. The

Goldman confirms that last week saw record call option volume: marketwatch.com/story/the-stoc… Massive call buying creates a "gamma squeeze" similar to a short squeeze in which options market makers must buy the underlying stock/ETF to hedge their (short) options exposure. But it's all

One of the worst pieces of advice I hear about Long Term Investing: 'Just buy and hold' This is nonsense. The truth is: Buy, hold, reassess, trim, buy, hold, reassess trim. Not trimming when a market correction is expected is ridiculous.
