The dream is to be free. If you make loads of money driving to a job you hate you’re not free. ✅ My story ↓ I became a journeyman welder at the age of 21, launched a welding business at 23 people started handing me 30k-40k a month to weld in the oilfield. I thought that was life. I spent 11 months a year working out of town for a 300-400k a year sacrificing my health. I paid a mortgage for a house I was never at. It wasn’t freedom. It was a trap. Through that a developed a crazy alcohol and co**ine addiction until I was about 27. My brother and best friend overdosed and died. I also met my wifey this year. The best and worst things of my life happened within 90 days. We were a train wreck. We got sober when my best friend died. Both of us. 10 years later we’re a fitness addicted entrepreneur couple. I came back to Jesus. I started trying many different business ideas. EBay. Drop shipping. Amazon Stores. Years of failures. Marketing agencies. Selling high ticket items. I started making really good money running a marketing agency and doing high ticket sales. I hated both. All the money in the world didn’t matter at that point. It wasn’t freedom. I built another cage for myself. 2019 hit. Right before the pandemic i decided I had enough. Sold all my welding equipment. Sold my house. Started learning trading. Self funded. Not sure if I’d make it. But I didn’t care. I knew it was ultimate freedom and I answered to no one. Everyone told me not to do it. Lost all my friends. Stop talking to my family entirely cause they didn’t support it. My dad died. Everything hit me all at once. I went dark. Really dark. To the point I wouldn’t leave the house, answer the phone or even open the windows to let the sunlight in. In all this I started working harder than ever. Meditating. Reading. Praying more than ever. The failures got less severe. My discipline got better. Because I accepted some truths: - no one is coming to save me - no one cares if I make it - it was only a matter of time until I made it I kept showing up. I kept working. Eventually turned into a breakeven trader. Then a profitable trader. I’m not yet a level I want to be at. But I’m free. I make more money than before by a long shot. I go to the gym when I want. I eat lunch when I want. I do what I want. And I built this life with the love of my life. She supported me the whole time and believed in my vision. She fell in love with 2 things: A)The man I was. B) man she knew I could be. She was the bridge that took me from A to B. I didn’t get a lot of things right in life. I got her right. And I got the right career meant for me right (trading). Whatever hell you may be going through today… just remember, no storm lasts forever and you can make it if you don’t quit. This story goes way beyond this. But this is the short version. Trading is freedom. Don’t let anyone tell you it can’t be done. The views from the office are much different today.

Strait of Hormuz is still blockaded. According to Trump the Iranian navy is at the bottom of the ocean. The only question one must ask is how are the Iranians blockading the strait if they have no navy. Trump is clearly full of it and just says whatever he feels like to move the markets where he needs to.

First we spike oil and send gold down. Followed by either we have a “we have a deal with Iran” or “tariffs on the following countries” to undo the oil spike and send gold back up. Art of the deal situation coming up. Common Trump pattern these days. Asia session will move. I’m guessing NY will undo Asia gains. This is the new norm with the markets and this president. Expect a massive whiplash to wipe retail. We’ve seen this lots with Trump now. It’s the new norm.

USA spent all week last week moving military equipment and troops to the Middle East. “Ceasefire” was a pause for them to get better equipped. Peace was never in the cards until the job is done. Hard to turn the war machine off once it begins. I don’t believe what the US wants to achieve can be done quickly. They knew this before they began. Headlines can say whatever they want. Military equipment and troops being moved will always tell the story. Ground invasion is next. Air strikes can’t do the job at this point. I wouldn’t be surprised if more countries get involved in a fight against Israel either. Escalation and energy crises is the more likely scenario now.

@FinanceLancelot There’s also a rumor Iran is accepting the 2 million dollar payment in BTC, USDT, or the Trump families USD1 stable coin. I didn’t follow this too deep to see if it was true but it wouldn’t surprise me.

So basically Trump asked Pakistan to ask Trump for a 2 week ceasefire, and Trump agreed to a ceasefire without Iran, US or Israel actually cease firing. Then Trump claimed Iran opened the Strait of Hormuz without Iran actually opening the Strait of Hormuz. Do I have this right?

Monitoring the situation

Ceasefire Uncertainty: What Traders Need to Know About Oil, Inflation, and Global Markets

You can’t have your Greenland until you finish your Iran Donald. Finish your dinner before your desert.

Imagine agreeing to giving the terrorists you’re fighting the ability to charge 2 million per day ship each day for the straight of Hormuz. 120-160 ships per day go through the strait. That’s 240 million per day on a slow day going to the terrorists you don’t want have the ability to buy weapons or build nukes. This doesn’t even remotely make sense from the US/Israel point of view. I’m guessing the ceasefire isn’t going to hold. Trumps words don’t mean much these days, yet they still move markets. Strange market conditions. Inflation will be the real market drive for the next few quarters. US is moving military equipment and troops to the Middle East. Maybe the “ceasefire” is just stalling. 0 chance this ends here. It will end with regime change. That’s isn’t going to happen fast. The key now is to see what happens with this “ceasefire”. I’m betting on it not holding and oil climbing and pushing inflation fears up and rate cut bets down. Next 1-2 CPI readings will confirm our inflation storyline and set the tone for the upcoming months.

Tarriffs are paid by the American people. Your president sold it to you as a good thing. It’s not. He abused it heavily and now you’re paying the price. Your prisedent is also going the be the reason the whole world faced inflation and higher oil prices. 1st term term Trump was much different then 2nd Term Trump.

Voted for Donald Trump & I got: 1. War 2. Israel 🇮🇱 First 3. Higher gas $ 4. Large deficits 5. More spending 6. Higher grocery $ 7. Higher clothing $ 8. Higher vehicle $ 9. 401K losses 10. Investments down 11. Devaluation of the dollar. I’m FUCKING retarded. God I’m sorry.

2 things to watch for this week if you trade xauusd:

@silvertrade The new 100$ bill 😂

🚨BREAKING: The Treasury Department has announced that President Trump's signature will appear on future US currency this year in honor of America's 250th anniversary. First sitting US President to be featured on US currency. 🔥CALLING IT NOW: TRUMP WILL BE FEATURED ON A NEW $250 US NOTE TO COMMEMORATE 250 YEARS SINCE US INDEPENDENCE ⚠️ ⚡️If Trump REALLY wants to be remembered in the history books, he should back the new US $250 note with GOLD again on America's 250th anniversary, and have his signature appear on US paper IN GOLD INK.

I’m not sure who’s predicted more crashes that never happened… this guy or Robert Kiyosaki. Pretty sure both of these dudes have predicted 200 of the last 2 crashes in 20 years.

My take on the current Iran/USA situation involving the Strait of Hormuz and XAUUSD: Scenario 1: The strait opens up, oil goes down, dollar losses strength, rate cut bets start increasing again, gold begins building to the upside again. Scenario 2: The strait stays closed, more oil refineries get damaged, oil goes up, inflation goes up, no rate cuts in the near future, stronger US dollar increases the opportunity cost of holding gold vs bonds. Since bonds would pay more in this scenario and guarantee a yield payment bi-annually it will become a better place to park your money than gold. 4400 and 4260 become the next reasonable targets in the down trend. We may see a short term pullback to the upside market open on uncertainty while the storyline develops and investors see the outcome of the 2 scenarios talked about above.

@IMAO_ Chuck Norris once struck lightning.

Chuck Norris told a woman to calm down and she did.

@dontbsalti Anyone that swing trades against fundamentals should be questioned 🙃

For small price of $6500 you can learn how to trade high risk setups — like trying to short 10 lots of $CL @ $65 during rising tensions with the Middle East. (( $CL hit $120 btw )) she entered short and it literally just went straight up.

@mitchellvii To be fair being seing seen doesn’t seem to have a lot of longivity. Maybe bro jus doesn’t want to die the same day he’s appointed 🤷🏼‍♂️

I HAVE A THEORY: Mojtaba Khamenei, Ali's son and the new supreme leader IS ALREADY DEAD and died in the same strike that killed his father! How do you choose a supreme leader who cannot be killed? You pick one who is ALREADY DEAD! Here's the shocking part: No one has seen Mojtaba Khamenei publicly since the war began. Obviously, this is just speculation on my part, but it is very strange that no one has seen this guy and these supreme leaders tend to be very visible.

@alifarhat79 @kanyelest Plan c definitely seems the worst

We will likely never get a president this funny again

@TicTocTick 125$ will not crush inflation. It will increase it lol

Trump is playing 9 dimensional chess. The game plan is simple — $125 oil. This will crush inflation . Cut stocks in half. Another 50% sell off in bonds . Slash home prices by 80%. So they will be affordable finally.

@XMRVoid @OneYearofBS @cakepay @Goblin_cards I’ve seen about 8-9 people say it’s a scam lol… hard to believe one person it isn’t. Crypto is a dirty place for these things.

@RobMirlach @OneYearofBS @cakepay @Goblin_cards No, I use it all the time

Did you know that @cakepay has a card for $XMR that costs no fee? $5,000 limit and can be added to Apple Pay
