Most people think preparing for a bounce in a bearish market is irresponsible. I think starting the process early is what separates you from the crowd that's always one step behind. If you're short, you need to know when it might be time to cover. If you're getting very bearish, you need to understand it's usually a bad idea to short in the hole. And if you're trying to buy the bounce, you really need to check yourself. Do you actually think the market is just going to hand you an easy entry? It's not. What usually happens before a bounce: the market shakes you out of your premature, oversized position, then leaves without you after you panic sell. That's by design. These aren't clean, comfortable entries. If you're not a tactical trader, the simplest move is to sit on the sidelines and wait for the shorter term trend, something like the 5 day moving average (purple line), to flatten out and start turning back up. That's your signal that the shorter term conditions are potentially shifting. If you like to front run, you have to accept a few things. You're going to be starting a position when everyone tells you it's stupid. It's going to feel awful. Of course it's not going to be a comfortable transaction, that's the whole point. To make it manageable, you size down in elevated vol. You can always add when conditions improve. The real pain isn't being early and wrong, that's manageable. The real pain is watching a lockout rally rip without you and feeling forced to chase. Fight that urge. If you miss it, who cares. The market is not going anywhere and It will setup again.

THE EPSTEIN FILES… JUST when things were starting to come to light… suddenly all attention shifted toward the war. Too perfect to be a coincidence… Don’t stop talking about the rapist living in the White House.

Was this supposed to happen? Yes, this is what Midterm-election years historically evidence relative to all other years. Should it get worse and through Q3? It often does, but with a respite in April. $SPX $ES_F $SPY $QQQ $NYA $IWM $OEX $DIA $VIX

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Let’s keep this in the spotlight every day.

Sen. John Kennedy admits on Fox News that the Republicans and Democrats reached a deal to fund TSA, but Trump said, “No. No deals with the Democrats.” Kennedy says, “It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week.” This is the Trump shutdown!

@MarketMike @NerdRageDan Ha, I see his profile replies are only to you, Mike 😁

@NerdRageDan You know, i got info on your main account now. Thinking of the best way to call you out infront of the audience. Also, just so you know. When you use this account to only comment on my stuff it makes it very obvious that you have a little boner for me See you soon.

The $SPX low on March 20 is now 3 days old and hasn't been taken out. That means we're in a live rally attempt, and starting tomorrow, I'm watching for a Follow-Through Day, a +1.25% gain or more on higher volume than the prior day. Still very early and this hasn't even been a -10% correction yet. But if one shows up without the low getting taken out, that's the signal to start adding some exposure into names showing relative strength. After a Follow-Through Day, the warning sign is if that FTD low gets breached. Doesn't kill the rally, but it means manage your risk. I charted every correction over the last 20 years and how this signal played out each time 👇

Donald Trump called mail-in voting “mail-in cheating” on Monday. That same day, news broke that he just voted by mail in a Florida special election. His polling place is a 15-minute drive from Mar-a-Lago. He spent the last two weekends there. He mailed it anyway. He is now holding the entire country hostage to pass a bill making it harder for you to vote the way he just voted. Shameless hypocrisy. nytimes.com/2026/03/24/us/…

GOP: the mail is secure enough to receive your photo ID, social security card, your debit and credit cards, your stimulus checks, and your tax returns Also GOP: the mail is not safe enough for voting

I don't know why Americans didn't make a bigger deal over this. If Joe Biden used photos from a dignified transfer for a fundraising email, there'd be nonstop Fox News outrage, with every GOP member calling for his impeachment. WTF, America?

Hey MAGA, we found that voter fraud you've been screaming about right here!

Spotted in the Epstein files: “Did you proud 1 night 2 boys But one I only kissed Oh and they were separately of course” Why are they protecting whoever sent it?

The same idiots who think Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war also think Trump, who declared bankruptcy six times, knows how to run the economy. That’s what Trump Derangement Syndrome actually looks like.

Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached.

My last thread on bear market tops went viral, so I made the sequel. This time I charted every $SPX correction of -10% or more over the last 20 years. Not the tops. The bottoms. Because every single one of these lows shares the same signal before the rally began. William O'Neil called it the Follow-Through Day. 10 corrections. 10 bottoms. Let me show you 🧵

This exchange just happened on the Senate floor. Cornyn: “I don’t understand how the SAVE Act disenfranchises voters.” Durbin: “Happy to explain. Driver’s licenses don’t qualify under the bill. 50% of Americans don’t have passports.” Cornyn: “Why not just amend it?” Durbin: “When’s the last time the Senate actually amended a bill?” Silence. The SAVE Act requires passport-level documentation to register to vote. 50% of Americans don’t have a passport. The people least likely to have passports: the elderly, the poor, rural Americans, young first-time voters. The people most likely to have passports: wealthy Americans. This is not voter protection. This is voter selection. And when a senator suggested fixing it — his own colleague couldn’t name the last time the Senate amended anything. That’s the Senate in 2026.

The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story. Keep talking, keep sharing.
