Stick to your plan. Anticipate, don't improvise. Trust no one. Never yield an advantage. Fight only the battle you're paid to fight..
The current price action on $TSLA isn't quite tallying up with the volume figures – definitely an interesting anomaly to watch. 🤔

$TSLA still looks like it's hitting a wall around this level. Remaining bearish here.
Hearing more whispers that even some of the 'true believer' cohort are starting to offload shares. With ongoing challenges in key markets like China adding to the pressure, reality seems to be catching up fast...

The way these markets are behaving, given the current political and macroeconomic climate, is truly astonishing.
Feels like we're teetering on the edge of either a full-blown roaring 20s style melt-up or the mother of all bull traps. 📉📈

Okay, for QBTS, which to me really seems like the most probable quantum play to hit it big based on their actual product and solid fundamentals – this is where the rubber meets the road. Seeing a lot of potential here. If it can break past $14, it's absolutely game on! 🚀

TSLA shorts..... Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon....
Big implications on the outcome between bulls and bears at this level.

Phew.
Payrolls grew a relatively uninteresting (and positive!) +177k in April, and unemployment was unchanged at 4.2%.
This economy is still humming along.
NOTE: This is a reading largely from the pre-tariff period. Still very foggy about what lies ahead.

If you know anything about how the newsroom of a major credible publication like the WSJ works. you know that the story about Tesla’s board exploring replacing Musk doesn’t see the light of day without 100% credible and backup sourcing. That can only mean one thing about Tesla’s and Musk’s denial.

Remarkable how Trump dealt himself the worst possible hand to negotiate w/ China.
1st card: Enacted tariffs that threaten to tank the economy
2nd: Backs China into a corner.
3rd: Makes fed incapable of responding
4th: Tanks markets, bonds and the dollar
5th: no end game, no plan

Big props to @steveliesman.bsky.social here.
So refreshing to hear someone just saying it. This isn’t politics in the traditional sense, we’re blowing the whole economy up (don’t forget small businesses), for reasons that don’t make sense.

A downright creepy afternoon note from JPM:
“.. It is VERY quiet on our desk .. I can get behind buying high volume panic, but that is not this... this is a continued flight from USD denominated assets and no measure of retail flow, mutual fund flow or prime data will tell you when / if to buy.”

Liberalism in all its glory....
the reason Markets can stand up to bullies is that no individual can be singled out for retribution. By aggregating the Wisdom of the (investor) Crowd, it can stand in judgement of the mad king.

Looking at retail ownership in QQQ: market share's been pretty consistent. But retail investors seem to chase price action, buying as it goes up and selling when it dips. Noticed they've started buying again with the recent price recovery.

Following up on the IEF/LQD flows, the SPY put/call ratio chart shows a clear uptick in bearish bets recently. More put options being bought than calls suggests growing concern about the stock market. Looks like the "flight to safety" isn't just in bonds. 🤔

Still seeing weakness in US equities. Rallies feel like institutional dumping onto confident retail "dip buyers." Got burnt on that Trump pump last week, so hesitant to add size. Price action still looks bearish.

Oof, yesterday was a rough one. Definitely got caught with my pants down in the markets and paid a hefty price for it. Another valuable lesson to note on the tree of experience, that's for sure. 😅
