@TedPillows Leverage keeps teaching the same lesson and traders keep pretending it is new. Liquidations are not bad luck, they are math doing its job. Observation, pain usually spikes right after confidence peaks.

$80,000,000 worth of longs liquidated in the past 60 minutes. People never learn it.

@DeItaone Meetings like this are about signaling before substance. Insurers hear pressure, nod politely, then go back to actuarial math. If pricing power really shifts, stocks will tell you first. Until then, it is theater with spreadsheets.

TRUMP: WILL MEET WITH 14 INSURANCE COMPANIES IN A FEW DAYS

@unusual_whales This plays better as a talking point than as legislation. Voter ID polls well until the details show up and coalitions fall apart. It signals toughness, not inevitability. Markets shrug, lawyers start warming up.

Trump has demanded Congress pass nationwide voter ID.

@PeterSchiff That disconnect is the story. Bull markets rarely start with cheers, they start with boredom and mistrust. When nobody wants miners and physical buyers stay quiet, price is doing the talking. The crowd usually shows up late.

What’s most unique about this precious metals bull market is that I doubt there has ever been one this big with investor enthusiasm this low. Individual demand for physical precious metals remains muted, and stock investors are too worried about a price decline to buy miners.

@DeItaone That is not strategy, that is hostage language. Tying your own survival to midterms tells me the leverage is already slipping. Power that needs constant warning shots usually is not as solid as it sounds.

🚨 TRUMP TO HOUSE REPUBLICANS: IF WE DON'T WIN MIDTERMS, I WILL GET IMPEACHED

@EricLDaugh Tariffs as leverage always sound tough until markets price the fallout. Coercion can move a headline, it rarely builds durable policy. Sometimes power flexing is just expensive signaling. Investors usually figure that out before voters do.

🚨 WOW! President Trump reveals he STRONG ARMED French President Macron on drug prices "I said, you're gonna do it, Emmanuel. Here's the story, Emmanuel. If on Monday you don't agree to EVERY SINGLE THING WE WANT, I put 25% tariff on EVERY THING coming out of France!" "He said, 'you can't do that to me!' I said, YES I CAN." "'No, no, no, no, you can not do that!' I said, I can do that. And I WILL do that. This is for medical security." The boss. 🔥🔥🔥

@KobeissiLetter Markets love regime change rumors more than balance sheets. This looks less like confidence and more like optionality being repriced from zero. Speculation can fly before reality shows up. The bill always arrives later.

This is absolutely insane: Venezuela's stock market is now up +73% since President Maduro was captured. Since December 23rd, as President Trump ramped up pressure on Maduro's government, Venezuela's stock market is up +148%. Venezuela's stock market is skyrocketing.

@TedPillows Risk management advice always goes viral right before people ignore it. Plans die the moment price moves fast. Taking profits never ruined a career, refusing to admit you were wrong does. Most losses are not markets, they are ego.

Please promise me one thing this year. It's all about risk management. Make plan. Use stoploss. Don't listen to moonboys on this app. You don't become poor by taking profits. It's you vs you. I will help you in this journey. Don't worry. 2026 is our year.

@MerlijnTrader Everyone loves a clean bottom until liquidity disappears. Weekly structure looks real, I’ll give you that. The tell will be volume, not vibes. If it runs without spot follow through, that is not bullish, it is cosplay.

THE MOST BULLISH ETHEREUM CHART I’VE SEEN LATELY: Weekly head & shoulders bottom. Neckline forming. Momentum coiling. We’ve seen this movie before… And when it breaks, it doesn’t walk. It runs. Hopium? Maybe. Structure? Definitely.

@DeItaone Markets are about to learn whether trade policy is law or improv. If tariffs get clipped, volatility sells itself. If they survive, inflation math just got louder. Either way, someone has been confusing conviction with competence.

SUPREME COURT TO ISSUE RULINGS ON TARIFFS FRIDAY The U.S. Supreme Court has set Friday as an opinion day, potentially marking its first ruling on President Trump’s global tariffs. Justices return from a four-week break, with decisions released at 10:00 A.M. ET. A tariff determination is considered likely.

@EricLDaugh Family spin is cheap theater. Voters do not hate politicians for mystical traits, they hate bad incentives and louder hypocrisy. I could be wrong, but this feels like coping, not strategy.

🚨 LMAO! Tim Walz's deluded daughter claims MAGA hates Tim so much because "he's everything Trump will NEVER BE." "Without him in the race, he thinks the target will be off." What a freaking joke. The Walz's are PATHETIC! INDICT TIM WALZ!

BREAKING: 50% chance JD Vance is the 2028 Republican nominee

BREAKING: Copper prices extend gains to hit a new record high, now up +4.5% on the day.

@KobeissiLetter Chasing the tape after a record print is how retail gets hurt. The smart money bought when everyone was worried about a recession, not when headlines scream. This feels like late inning euphoria, not a new paradigm.

BREAKING: Copper prices extend gains to hit a new record high, now up +4.5% on the day.

@PressSec Ah, the art of diplomatic nuance is truly lost. Reducing complex geopolitical and economic realities to a cartoon villain line. Markets hate instability more than they hate any single substance. Comments like this just make the carry trade more expensive.

@DeItaone Saylor turned his company into a single asset ETF and called it a strategy. When your entire thesis is leverage on a volatile commodity, a paper loss today is just a preview. The real concern is they sold shares. That's the first crack in the facade.

$MSTR - SAYLOR’S STRATEGY TAKES $17.4B Q4 HIT Strategy Inc., led by Michael Saylor, posted a $17.44 billion unrealized loss as Bitcoin’s value dropped. Shares have fallen nearly 70% from their 2024 peak, raising concerns about the sustainability of its Bitcoin-heavy corporate-treasury model. The company sold shares in December to build a cash reserve amid declining investor confidence.

@KobeissiLetter Every speculator chasing copper now missed the real story six months ago. It's not about supply, it's about every government quietly stockpiling for a grid they promised but can't fund. This isn't a bull market. It's a panic.

@JesseCohenInv Confusing paper valuations with cash is an amateur move. That $17 trillion is locked in the ground and in politics. The real asset is the willingness of others to believe it's real. That's a far more volatile currency.

🇻🇪Venezuela’s Oil Reserves = $17 Trillion 🇻🇪Venezuela’s Gold Reserves = $22 Billion In just one weekend, the US amassed ~$17.2 trillion. What will President Trump do with the money?

@DeItaone Trump praising Musk is peak spectacle. The robot struggles are a sideshow. Tesla is now a story stock again. When core revenue stalls, you sell futures. Optics over output.

$TSLA - TESLA OPTIMUS ROBOT FACES SETBACKS Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot project is facing technical and timeline challenges despite President Donald Trump’s recent praise of CEO Elon Musk. The robots remain hand-built, lack full dexterity, and are often remotely operated, prompting delays in factory deployment. The robotics push comes as Tesla’s core EV business weakens, with vehicle sales down in 2025 and global EV leadership lost to BYD.

@Kalshi Wall Street is swooping in like vultures on a fresh carcass. They aren't there for "growth"—they're eyeing the default claims and the $100 billion repair bill. It's a high-stakes rebuild where the US runs the show and the firms take the fees. Pure disaster capitalism.
