My interview with Richard Moglen and TraderLion! I rambled quite a bit but hope you get something out of it! Now open to watch for everyone. youtu.be/Lot25-2fb-4?si…

@TraderGiulio We will find out! If they base out again I will be buying!

@CFlanders7 Chris you highlighted a point which is at the basis of this AI cycle. Memory used to be a cyclical sector (buy high pe, sell low pe): we have witnesses the transformation of memories from cyclical to growth sector. This implies that memory can now be multi year winners like aapl

In case this is anyone's first time. Semis and Memory names are highly cyclical (boom/bust). I personally love trading them because they TREND like nothing else. Just be aware, when it's over, they can drop farther than you can imagine. Is the trend over? I don't know. Just something to be aware of.

@Braczyy Thank you Bracco!

When @CFlanders7 sits down to talk trading it’s must watch material. Guy knows what it takes to win. Also one of the most genuine and humble individuals I’ve had the pleasure of meeting youtu.be/oZxqCRSpX6s?is…

@dpinsen Do the tops coincide with peak earnings? I haven't studied that. I look at what the price is doing.

@CFlanders7 All the recent earnings reports and guidance suggest memory names aren’t anywhere close to peak earnings. Seems unlikely that their earnings rocket higher for another 8 or 12 quarters with their stocks languishing to the point where they’re trading for less than book.

@TwiCaptain Can't make too much of one candle, but definitely bearish.

@CFlanders7 Do you think this is a bad omen for the general market? It's not good when market leaders of the previous rally gets sold off like this. The pic on the $SPY isn't looking good either: Gap-down, then rally to the 21-EMA and got sold off.

First closes below the 50dma on SNDK since August 2025 after a 5600% run in less than a year.

@Maor__1 I think so

@CFlanders7 Best leader ever?

@algridtrader Needs to enter stage 3 before it enters stage 4

@CFlanders7 Is it the start of a stage 4 trend??

@itaykakun That is why trading very very small from the beginning is so important. You have to learn, often through trial and error/experience.

@CFlanders7 Really appreciate the answer. Lets say i do take a lot less risk right now because of the drawdown and i do have a plan. i feel the problem is i dont know when to do nothing. In some way i am forcing action somedays but yet i can only tell that in hindsight.

Great question. It sounds like you are trying to force trades to stop losing instead of just following your plan...assuming you have a plan or process you follow. Chances are either your timing is off, or the market is hostile to your strategy. Either way, you want to trade much smaller or not at all until you can figure out what is going on. I like the analogy of the market as a boxer in a ring. Any time you want, you can step into the ring and take a swing at him. The market can ONLY counter-punch. In other words, unless you CHOOSE to risk (throw a punch) you cannot be hurt by the market. Many traders will go in and just throw wild haymakers. Some will land, but the ones that don't, they leave yourself exposed to a devastating counter-punch. When you are on a long losing streak its like you keep stepping into the ring, take a swing, miss, get punched, knocked down over and over only to stand back up and keep swinging. You can just sit there, rest and wait. The market will do nothing to you until you are ready to try again.

@ToddTurney Next time!

@CFlanders7 Great analogy Christian. You reminded me of a slightly different version in that when you are not throwing punches, the market is shadow boxing. If not ready to throw a punch or just throwing a jab, learn from the shadow boxing. Sorry I missed you in HK.

I still remember the first time I got caught in a blow up trade. The disbelief, frozen in fear. The thought that "this can't possibly be happening to me. I'm a special snowflake. This kind of stuff only happens to other people." Was a punch in the gut. ANY-THING can happen in markets. I am not special. I am just one of tens of millions of market participants.

@AldridgeJa50081 Yes, and no stop loss or plan at all. Just pure emotion/FOMO.

@CFlanders7 Was it a blow up because you were oversized?

@1owroller LOL

girlfriend overheard me and started yelling at me asking me “who the fuck is kimmy” “why the fuck are you talking about chinese models”

@KaneCapz Was about -25% to the account for the day.

@CFlanders7 What was the damage?

@bertust Businessman

@CFlanders7 Is he a prince, by any chance?

Spoke with a friend in China who regularly travels to Nigeria to do business and hires security to escort him around with AK-47s so he can pass “check points” (bribe spots) with guys who are also armed with AK-47s. He finds that less risky than trading stocks.

@SinghStepsIn Not above 55% yet.

@CFlanders7 Only 5 times in 67 years and 4 ended in bear markets. Those are terrible odds. But sure, this time is different right?

Found this from Grok asking it to extend the previous chart back to the 1970s. Pretty amazing.

@Steve88922Steve He does. Before they go off the in car the guards shoot the AKs into the air to make sure they are working. Then they proceed.

@CFlanders7 He’s got better stories than you do!

@capital09938192 You are welcome!

@CFlanders7 Thanks for posting regularly. You are very helpful to me as my trading progresses. Just wanted u to know.
