$1 Trillion IPOs… What Could Go Wrong?

You’re Looking at the Wrong Tech Stocks

Thank You, Short Sellers, Please Don’t Stop
Everybody loves to hate short sellers. They’re the “villains.” These are the “pessimists.” They’re the ones “betting against America.” But if you’re actually trying to make money instead of just sharing opinions, you should be grateful that short sellers exist.…
Bitcoin Actually Went Up This Month
The first quarter is in the books. This is when I lean hardest on what I already know works. Zooming out isn’t optional. It’s the closest thing we have to a cheat code. Prices trend. That’s not an opinion. And…

This is the game. You can sit there and complain that insiders are trading ahead of a tweet. Ahead of an announcement. Ahead of whatever headline you didn’t see coming. Or you can grow up. Because this isn’t anything new.…
$20 Trillion Is Missing in Action
Your best players are supposed to lead the way. That’s how winning works. In sports, in markets, anywhere performance actually matters. The stars show up, they produce, and the rest of the team follows. When that’s not happening, you’ve got…
Will This Be the Great Whipsaw of 2026?
If the Dow Jones Industrial Average is Michael Jordan, the Dow Jones Transportation Average is Scottie Pippen. You don’t get all those banners without both of them. You don’t get dynasties with just one guy putting up numbers. That’s what…
