Excited to share more about our new ETFs. Thank you for your trust and support!

YTD Nasdaq down 8%, S&P down 7%, Bitcoin down 26%. Since the Iran conflict started Gold down 15% and Silver down 25%. This conflict has been brutal for almost all asset classes except for Energy. The bad news is this selloff is eerily reminiscent of where we were 1 year ago with the tariff selloff. S&P down 20%. If this conflict drags on, I wouldn’t be shocked if we see that again. The good news is this is also reminiscent of the tariff selloff in that the market recovered all of its losses and retraced to new highs in about 60 days. Last April the market jumped 10% in a day because of a single tweet. If you were out of the market you would have missed it. It’s tough to catch up from that. It’s so hard but I would fight the urge to give up on this market. The silver lining for markets is that this selloff is being driven primarily by geopolitical conflict and not earnings. If you own good companies and maintain diversification, you will participate when markets snap back higher. I’m praying for a resolution to this conflict. There are a lot of moving pieces but the longer the war lasts, the worse the impact for the global economy and markets will be.

@Jetson_Dad @Varneyco 😂😂😂😂

Made some edits for the next time @DavidANicholas is on @Varneyco… $GLDN

Meta failed to protect kids and lied about it. Now they are ordered to pay $375 million to New Mexico. For a company that spends hundreds of millions every day, the financial hit is manageable. The real damage is to trust. This should serve as a warning to every other social media company.

@MarkTepperSWP @Varneyco Haha thanks man 😂👊🏼

@DavidANicholas @Varneyco My guy! Love the lip sweater! 🥸🔥

Even a hint of an Iran deal is lifting markets. Earnings remain strong, growth is intact, and Wall Street isn’t blinking despite geopolitical risk and high energy prices. I joined @varneyco to share why a resolution could mean a rally is in store for gold and miners.

It was time to add $GLDN @DavidANicholas 💛

Look forward to joining @Varneyco a little after 9 AM to talk markets, gold and $META. Be sure to tune in!

@SicilianTradr @Varneyco 😂😂💯

@DavidANicholas @Varneyco Wow, @DavidANicholas Looks just like the Yankees Catcher #28 Austin Wells now …👀

PPI came in hot today. Goods inflation rose 1.1%, services remain sticky, and the Fed faces more pressure. Markets want rate cuts, but that now looks less likely. I joined @varneyco on Fox Business to discuss why the short-term outlook is not promising.

@kerfaffle Very impressed my friend. Well done!

We are all @DavidANicholas. #StacheLife

David @davidanicholas and XFUNDS Trading Associate, Louis just returned from @ExchangeETF and one theme was clear: Crypto and income-focused ETFs are top of mind for retail investors right now. A signal of where demand and product innovation is heading. #ETFExchange #BitcoinETF #IncomeInvesting #ActiveETF

@Jetson_Dad @Varneyco 😂😂😂

David thought he could slide this little change by us. But he introduced the $BLOX Suave Stasche today on @Varneyco… Here is Suave Stasche @DavidANicholas

Back on @Varneyco in January, Micron was $297 a share. It’s up 50% since then. $MU is the picks and shovels play of the AI boom. The market expects a 9% swing after earnings, and I’ll be listening closely to management on guidance.

Hedge your Bitcoin position with $BHDG!

PPI numbers came in warm, Fed meeting today, $MU earnings after the bell, lots to talk about with @Varneyco on @FoxBusiness a little after 9 AM!

@maxconvexityman @Michael_Khouw I was trying to keep this one a secret! HA.. this is a huge trade. Probably a hedge fund. If a drop happens quicker they can realize some of the profit early. Insane trade.

Does anything stand out to y'all in the middle of this option chain. See that 45,000 lot put spread? I do and so did @Michael_Khouw - The TLDR is some whale bought $5.6 million dollars worth of put spreads - 21 percent under the current market level. These expire May 1st. If between now and May 1st, the SPX from 21% or more, this trade is worth a maximum of half a billion! Yes you read that correctly. Actually more like $445 million, but close enough. I sure hope this guy is wrong! Maybe it was one of @DavidANicholas 's trades? David was that you buddy?

@maxconvexityman Lightning spreads are not fun in a bear market, but in a bull market they generally win! It’s why we use this strategy.

Great points David. Did you see that Lightning Spread overlays just like $BLOX uses on the stock sleeve of the portfolio are going viral this afternoon, due to $OVL? I have been telling people about Lightning Spreads and BLOX for that matter, forever. I am glad to see the ol' put spread overlay is finally getting the credit it deserves for being a superior income generation strategy- that is if you care about upside capture.

If every position in your portfolio is going up, you’re more than likely not diversified enough. True asset class diversification means parts of your portfolio will do well while other positions underperform. Gold underperformed relative to equities for 20 years, until it didn’t.

@Sipping_Anjeo 😂😂 we’ll see how long the mustache lasts. 👨🏻

@DavidANicholas Ok, but if my Xfunds start to head south, we're going to need that beard back. The beard prints money! 😉

@maxconvexityman Would love to Max!

Sounds great David, I would be interested to hear how you plan to control the negative carry that generally comes with hedges? In other words if I buy this is it going to bleed to death? Knowing you, I bet you have a plan to control the bleed, maybe you'er selling off a little upside? If you would like to come on my channel soon, I would love you to explain your plan to my viewers.

If you have exposure to bitcoin or crypto in your portfolio, this could be a way to hedge that position. This is the first Bitcoin Tail Risk ETF. Excited for this unique launch.
