@askslim It is obvious the current Trump Administration is made up of incompetents, now playing at war

What I find ridiculous is all the commentary claiming there’s “no end game” in a war with Iran. 99% of that is coming from people with zero military experience and no understanding of how military planning actually works. They have no idea what our leaders are doing, and no respect for the fact that plans change in real time as conditions evolve. A lot of it isn’t even serious analysis, it’s political bias. Trump haters will grab onto anything they can to say he’s wrong, just to score points or sound credible. Not seeing the plan doesn’t mean there isn’t one. It just means you’re not in the room.

@askslim You got your 99% figure from where? I spent most of my adult life studying warfare. We avoided war with Iran for decades. I was a combat Marine in Vietnam. I am a retired Air Force officer. I lived and worked in Saudi Arabia training RSAF officers to run their Air Defense system.

In 1968, Robert Mueller joined the Marines after his friend’s death in Vietnam. While deployed, he received the Bronze Star for saving an injured Marine under fire. He was later shot and awarded the Purple Heart. What a contrast to today’s leadership. May he Rest in Peace 🇺🇸

@CyclesFan My TC2000 shows the S&P print and closing highs both in late January while the NYSE composite print and closing, and the a/d line topped late February..

The NYSE and $SPX advance-decline lines topped in late February. There was no divergence at the top(an A-D line top before the S&P 500 top). Prior to every 4 year or 7 year cycle high in the past except one, the NYSE A-D line topped before the S&P 500. The only exception was 1994 which was the mildest decline ever into a 4 year cycle low with a 9.7% drawdown. In 1994 SPX topped in late January and bottomed in early April but it didn't make a new ATH for the rest of year. I expect a similar mild decline into a 4 year cycle low in 2026 with a downside target of 6100-6200.

@askslim This has been an ethnic, culture and religious fracture zone for thousands of years. Trump can't fix it, but he sure has stirred up the turd bowl.

Why do you think Iran would expose this capability now? They are getting crushed and their only hope is to turn this into a world war. So if they scare Europe into the war, it could also bring China and Russia to defend Iran. And then these barbaric Mullahs can stay in power. So European countries are right to stay out of it. And US and Israel should hurry up and finish it without help, as Trump says he can do.

@askslim BINGO

@askslim The timing was right for a trough to form. The extent of this bounce will tell us a lot.

Market Signals – March 16, 2026 Markets Rebound as Oil Pulls Back on Hormuz Hopes U.S. futures are sharply higher this morning with the S&P 500 up nearly 1% and Nasdaq up around 1.4%. Crude has pulled back toward $95 as comments out of Iran raise hopes that the Strait of Hormuz may reopen or stabilize. Markets are reacting directly to that shift. Stocks, tech, bonds and bitcoin are all stronger as energy pressure eases. This is a relief move, not resolution. Oil remains the key signal. However, a firming in stocks now is in line with the work we have shown. #Stocks #Oil #Bitcoin #Trading #Investing #Markets

@askslim What time will Market Week show?

S&P 500: Never-before-seen valuations. Software crushed by AI. Financials weak, Iran oil surge + inflation fears. Yet only -4% off ATH? Wildest disconnect ever, rotation saves the day? Or setup for big fall? Watch Market Meek Friday for more analysis. #StockMarket #SPX #Oil

I stand with Retired Marine Corps Sergeant Brian McGinnis for speaking out against Trump’s war on Iran. 🇺🇸

Even Arlington, Texas sees through Trump.👏

She’s a domestic terrorist who belongs in Gitmo for the rest of her life.

Keep the Epstein files in the spotlight.

They shouldn’t be dead. 💔 Six American bodies returned home. 🇺🇸 •Capt. Cody Khork •Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens •Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor •Sgt. 1st Class Declan Coady •Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien •Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan RIP 🙏

Amazing what months of selling your soul can do, the light’s been snuffed out of their eyes.

@askslim Add in some longer term cyclic low projections and cash becomes king

Stock index futures are down hard this morning. Three years of melt-up and a bull market that started in 2009 have numbed people to what real risk looks like. Just look at IGV, software, and the AI complex: massive capex, weak monetization, and the “AI will save everything” narrative cracking right in front of us. Add clerical leaders in Iran, nuclear ambitions, a war to remove them, and a partially weaponized Strait of Hormuz, and you’ve got real, non-theoretical tail risk. Investors aren’t just underpricing one risk. They’ve forgotten a whole list: •Valuation risk: stretched P/Es that assume smooth, endless earnings growth. •AI/tech narrative risk: capex and hype way ahead of proven profit pools. •Geopolitical/energy risk: Iran, chokepoints, and oil shocks that can reprice inflation and rates overnight. •Rate/liquidity risk: “higher for longer” means the discount rate is now your enemy, not your friend. •Credit/leverage risk: private credit and software/AI borrowers getting squeezed on both earnings and refinancing. •Policy/regulatory risk: sanctions, tariffs, and AI rules that can flip a business model with a pen stroke. •Crowding/air-pocket risk: one-way positioning in a handful of themes and mega-caps with no real bids underneath. Everyone’s been trading as if the only risk was “missing the rally.” They may soon be about to relearn that the real risk is what you’re long when the narrative breaks. Stay tuned at askslim.com

@askslim Treasuries getting a bid, Utilities, Consumer Staples, & Energy holding up

Market Signals – February 27, 2026 Block is sharply higher after restructuring news. Banks are weaker, and the pressure is starting to spill into other sectors. Watch whether it spreads beyond financials. Also, a much worse that expected PPI is adding pressure to markets. Slim discuss it here👇

@Amelia558rs 1969

What is your guess as to what year this photo was taken?

@askslim TC200 only has the NYSE High-Low Logic Index

WARNING! The Nasdaq High-Low Logic Index (HLLI) tracks market breadth by measuring the smaller of new 52-week highs or new lows among Nasdaq stocks, divided by total traded issues, then averaged over 10 days (often as a percentage). Index Meaning High readings like today’s ~3.0 (an all-time high) signal extreme bifurcation: many stocks hit new highs while others hit new lows simultaneously, showing “churning” or fragility rather than uniform strength. This divergence indicates inconsistent internals, often bearish as the market lacks broad participation.[nelsoncorp Signal Implications Readings above 2.0 are rare and warn of near-term corrective action (pullbacks or drops) unless addressed by improved breadth. At ~3.0, the conditional alert is urgent, historically preceding selloffs like 2000, 2008, and 2020. Low readings (<0.4) are bullish, signaling consensus direction.

Trump tries to add an Olympic Medal to his collection of stolen awards 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🔥🔥🔥 DO NOT BE DISTRACTED & STAY LOUD DONALD TRUMP IS GOING DOWN TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS & I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared 🔥🔥🔥
