Is this the best timed trade of 2026? At 6:50 AM ET today, $1.5 BILLION in notional value worth of S&P 500 futures contracts were bought. This trade was so large it sent the entire index +0.3% higher that minute. Then, 14 minutes later at 7:04 AM ET, President Trump announced "productive discussions" with Iran were underway. By 7:10 AM ET, the S&P 500 had added +$2 TRILLION in market cap. That $1.5 billion position gained +$60 million in minutes. Absolutely incredible.




BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.












@catedunlap @MiriVinni Best Malaysian is HD Cuisine in Wheeling. Best Japanese is Kurumaya in Elk Grove Village. Soup Dumplings at Phat Phat in Schaumburg. I like Kama in La Grange for Indian, but it's upscale fusion. Region in Barrington modern American is better than 99% of West Loop.

@MiriVinni The restaurants is what most blew me away moving from Chicago to suburbs. Much better ethnic restaurants in the suburbs than the city. Turns out those immigrants fled the city for better schools for their kids too.
