IBM has smashed through its put wall on the downside and that put wall hasn’t rolled lower. So what that means is the options landscape is not shifting down with the price. That’s important. Normally if there was going to be continuation to the downside you would expect this...

🚨 TOM LEE: MARKETS ARE IGNORING THE BEARISH SETUP Wall Street came in ready to short. Positioning was for downside. Long war, risk off, lower prices. Instead, markets are rallying. That’s the signal. When everyone expects bad news and price refuses to go down, it means the selling is already done. Demand is stronger than the narrative. That’s how upside starts.

ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos: “You call them lunatics but the president just had this post where he says ‘we’re in discussions with a new and more reasonable regime’ – let me try to pin you down on that, who is this ‘new and more reasonable regime’? Is the United States in direct contact with them?” State Secretary Marco Rubio: “I’m not going to disclose to you who those people are, because it probably would get them in trouble with some other groups of people inside of Iran. Look, there’s some fractures going on there internally. And at the end of the day, I think that if there are people in Iran who now, given everything that’s happened, are willing to move in a different direction for their country, that would be great. Imagine in Iran that instead of spending their wealth, billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, had spent that money helping the people of Iran, you’d have a much different country.” “So we are always hopeful that that would exist over there. It’s unfortunate, the people of Iran are incredible people. The people who lead them, this clerical regime, that is the problem. And if there are new people now in charge who have a more reasonable vision of the future, that would be good news for us, for them, for the entire world. But we also have to be prepared for the possibility, maybe even the probability, that that is not the case. So we’re gonna test it.” George Stephanopoulos: “But the president said they are, is that the case or is it not? I’m just trying to get some clarity on that.” Marco Rubio: “So you have people that are saying some of the right things privately. Obviously, they’re not going to put it out in press releases and what they say to you or put out there for the world doesn’t necessarily reflect what they’re saying in our conversations.”

🚨 HOLY CRAP! US Attorney Pirro just WENT OFF on the woke prosecutors after Big Balls was assauIted "Youth vioIence is on the rise. Not just in D.C., but across the country....

Jeff Bezos: “Focus on the controllable inputs to your business instead of the outputs” Jeff gives the example of companies trying to drive up their stock price by actually going out and trying to sell their stock: “[A higher stock price] is the final output…. That’s not going to be sustainable. It’s a silly approach.” Jeff recommends working backwards from a higher stock price to its controllable inputs instead: “What are the inputs to a higher stock price? Okay, well, free cash flow and return on invested capital are inputs to a higher stock price. Let’s keep working backwards. What are the inputs to free cash flow? And you keep working backwards until you get to something that’s controllable.” He points out that a controllable input to free cash flow would be something like a lower cost structure: “If we can improve our picking efficiency in our fulfillment centers and reduce defects - reducing defects at the root is one of the best ways to lower cost structure - that starts to be a job you would accept. If you’re a reasonable person, you would say, I have no idea how to drive up the stock price - I can’t manage that directly. It’s not a controllable input. But I can make your picking algorithms more efficient, and that will reduce cost structure. And then you follow that chain all along the way. That’s what you do in all of these businesses.” Video source: Business Insider (2014)

Marc Andreessen on how to get people to join your 3-person startup Marc says founders have two tools at their disposal to win new hires: 1) Stock options, and 2) vision. He explains: “The best entrepreneurs are really good at selling people on their company precisely because they can explain how the world is going to look in a way that is so compelling.” Marc points to Steve Jobs’s “reality distortion field” as the epitome of this: “If you get within 10 feet of Steve Jobs, whatever he says in the next 20 minutes, you’re going to walk out of there believing. He can say that the sky is purple, and you’re like yep that makes total sense . . . The best entrepreneurs all tend to have that in common and tend to be really good at that. It’s essentially sales — selling to employees. It’s an incredibly valuable skill to be able to do that. That plus stock options.” The other thing Marc has observed about hiring over the years is that right employees have to self-select into your company, even though that can be incredibly frustrating at times: “If you hired all the people you interviewed, it would turn out that 2/3rds or 3/4ths of them you probably shouldn’t have hired anyway. So what the best companies do is they provide a very stark idea of what the company is and what is it isn’t: ‘We are a company where people are expected to work 18 hour days and if you don’t like that, don’t come here’ or ‘We are a company where people expect to go home at 5pm every day and if you think that’ll be frustrating’ — whatever it is.” Marc gives the humorous example of Asana where it was a requirement that the whole company did yoga together: “If you like yoga, this is the company for you. If you don’t like yoga, don’t go there. You’re going to be asked to put your feet in positions that you’re completely uncomfortable with.” He continues: “I think the very best companies tend to be polarizing. So if in your hiring process, you’re turning people off as much as you’re turning them on because they’re deciding ‘this is clearly not the right fit for me,’ I think that’s a good thing.”

Most of you come into the market every morning already biased. That’s your first mistake‼️ You’re not reacting to price You’re trying to force price to agree with you. And the market punishes that instantly. Here’s the truth: Before you even think of entries, you should already know what price is hunting. Because price doesn’t move randomly It moves to take liquidity, then delivers the real move. So your job every morning is simple: Where are the stops? • Above yesterday’s high? • Below yesterday’s low? • Equal highs/lows sitting clean? That’s the map. Now here’s where people keep messing up: They see price moving and jump in. No patience. No confirmation. Just impulse. Meanwhile, the real move comes AFTER liquidity is taken. That fake move you entered? That was engineered for you. So tighten up your execution: Don’t trade the first move. Don’t chase candles. Don’t assume direction. Wait for: Liquidity sweep → Displacement → Confirmation No sequence = No trade. Simple rule: If price hasn’t taken something, it’s probably going to. And if you’re already in before that happens, you’re the liquidity. This morning, don’t prove anything. Don’t rush anything. Just be sharp enough to recognize when the market is setting the trap… and when it’s finally ready to move. 📈

ELON: WE MUST PUT AN END TO THE TYRANNY OF THE BUREAUCRACY “In order for us to be a true democracy, a functioning democracy, the government must be responsive to the people. That's literally what democracy means. However, when you have a vast unelected bureaucracy that is not answerable to the public, and if the elected officials, the President, the people in Congress and the Senate, if they don't have the power to affect the bureaucracy — and it's actually extremely difficult to affect the bureaucracy — then you do not have rule of the people. Then, you do not have democracy, but you have rule of the bureau — bureaucracy. And this is obviously wrong. It is unconstitutional, and it is imperative, therefore, that we return power to the people of the country and not have tyranny of the bureaucracy, which we most definitely have had to a degree that is absurd. It's not just that there's an unconstitutional fourth branch of the government, but it is arguably the most powerful branch of the government.” Source: DOGE update on 𝕏 Spaces, February 2025

Have you seen the golf course?" REPORTER: "Yeah" RAHM: "You know what, I can understand because, if you just go by some of the numbers, some of the fairways are wide, the greens aren't crazy firm. But a lot of those fairways are sloped in a way that they play very narrow. Like 15 today, I thought I was going to be in the fairway undoubtedly, and I was off the fairway. Same on 10, same on 4. It can easily roll off" "Then the rough doesn't look as long as many other majors, but it's such a thick blade of grass that, even when the lie looks okay, it catches you so bad" "So I can see how in appearance it might be easier, but it's not. You need to play really good golf to shoot lower than 3-under. And then on top of that, those pin locations today are good ones. I mean, they're tucked. They're not easy" "There was somebody earlier in the week where there was some chatter where people thought 15- to 20-under was going to win. And I think that got to somebody in the PGA, and they did something about it. Because if the golf course stays like this and it keeps firming up, yeah, obviously it's not going to be anything like that" #PGAChamp | Legion XIII

$NWBO That $1 price target is a joke. Someone is massively short this stock and needs people to sell at ridiculously low prices. Naked shorts drove it down to today’s levels and tried to destroy the company. They are pinning the price here, hoping you get frustrated and sell early. Why doesn’t the stock price go up when the company puts out great news? It’s because the naked shorts (counterfeit shares) are so underwater and they are trapped. They can’t let the price go up because they fear a margin call. They sold shares they don’t have and will be forced to buy them back at whatever price people are willing to sell them. And if the naked short walks away, brokers are left holding the bag. That’s why trade settlement isn’t enforced. The only thing the stock price represents is the fraud regulators allow in today’s stock market. Thanks rj for the find Cohen Milstein G 👇👇👇

"There are two types of coaches, those who do nothing and those who do a lot of damage. I prefer to be one of those who do nothing. The game belongs to the players, always ⚽. You can introduce them to a certain strategy that we have to implement, and they have to be convinced that they can do it. Then, there is the quality of the player, there is the attitude, the commitment. What a coach can do is make the players understand what teamwork is 🤝. Because we have the quality, Bayern Munich has it, Paris Saint Germain has it. Where is the difference? Where do you want to put this quality? If you want to put it in for yourself, it's not right ❌. If you put it in for the team, you can win 🏆."

Deion Sanders explains why chasing the biggest offer can cost young athletes far more than money: “The first mistake they make is chasing the bag instead of chasing the game. "Chase the game.” “The game has the bag. Don’t chase the bag. The bag doesn’t have the game.” “Chase the game, because the bag is going to sustain you for a moment. The game is going to maintain you forever.” “They’re chasing the wrong thing. I’d rather chase a place that’s going to give me the game. That’s going to teach me how to be a man. That’s going to teach me about money. That’s going to hold me accountable. And make sure I’m disciplined. Not just give me the bag.” “Because that’s going to run out. You’re one or two years in, and you’re not in an environment preparing you for the next level.” “You’re chasing NIL instead of the NFL. That’s not the right thing. I’ve never chased money in my life.” “I’ve chased greatness. And guess what came with greatness?” “The money.”

Secretary Rubio just laid down the law when a reporter asked him about the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. He doubled down: The United States will NEVER allow the Iranian regime to normalize the attacks on commercial ships. RUBIO: “These guys have shut down the Straits of Hormuz.” “This is what Iran is saying, we will shut down the straits and no one can go through. No country in the world can go through unless we allow you to go through and you have to pay us.” “But our ships can go through, meaning the Iranian ships, as much as they want.” “That’s crazy! Who would agree to that?!” “So how are we going to have a situation where they get to close the straits to everybody and the only people allowed to go through there 100% without paying anything are the Iranians?” “If you do that they will keep the straits closed forever.” “They are trying to make this a new normal.” “Under NO circumstances can we ever allow them to normalize the fact that they get to blow up commercial ships and put mines in the water.” “The response to that is we’re going blockade your ships.” “If everyone’s ships are not getting out, your ships are not getting out either.” “That’s not an act of war, that’s a defensive measure, it’s a counter to what they have decided to do.”

They call you racist, and think the conversation is over. News flash, this is not 1964 anymore. The American people are a lot smarter than that, and they’re not buying it. Because the reality is, people like me exist. What does that tell you? It tells you this country has made real progress. It tells you that millions of Americans are doing exactly what Martin Luther King Jr. called for, judging people not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. That’s not theory, that’s reality. But instead of celebrating that progress, some want to drag us backwards, into a system where race is everything, where success is assigned, where outcomes are engineered. That’s not empowerment, that’s limitation. The idea that someone can only succeed if a district is drawn for them, or if a box is checked for them, is an insult to the very people it claims to help. Here’s a better idea, be a great candidate. Work hard. Earn trust. Serve people. Put your name on the ballot and let voters decide.

Washington's 9.9% "Millionaires Tax" Isn't That Simple Bret Weinstein explains, "If you stop businesses from starting here, and if you drive people so that they move elsewhere—even though it's difficult to do—then the point is the tax base dries up, which then forces you to become even more predatory for the people who stayed. And that's really the thing, right? They're setting themselves up so that they have to go after more and more people, because the people who are starting new businesses are not going to do it here."

The GOP must be destroyed and replaced with a populist coalition. Another name for that is post-constitutional mob rule. “The right has to give up on free markets.” My problem with Tucker isn’t the Jew hatred, that’s between him and God, although I have the right to call him out on it and I will everyday. My problem with Tucker and his merry little band of comrades is that they are authoritarians who don’t believe in freedom and liberty. That is what makes them dangerous because they use the Israel issue and the Jew hatred as a scapegoat to get you to be so frustrated and angry that you give up your freaking civil liberties and your freedoms and give in to authoritarians. That’s why Tucker is dangerous not because he’s a Jew hater. The only way America Only works is if we are going to be conquering the rest of the world and bringing them down under us and if that’s what the goal is, then I would like to hear people say it openly and honestly.

Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque was asked about a comment Damian Priest made recently about the same talent being in the top spots, and answers Jamie Iovine’s question on how he feels about the current generation of stars going forward and the “changing of the guard” right now in WWE — “Look, I get that. If you’re the guy that wants to take the spot, it’s frustrating when there’s guys above you that have the spot. We’re in a period of time where there’s a lot of top performers in top spots that over time have earned those spots and are selling tickets and are incredibly popular. So you really have to do something. The narrative of ‘It’s my turn. I’ve been here for a while’. There’s no turns. That’s not how it works. You earn the spot. Believe me. If somebody is getting over more than somebody else, we move that person into the spot and move the other person down. But it’s not just that, it’s not just they’re getting the loud crowd reaction. Are they going to be good in the spot? Are they going to hold up their end of the bargain? Are they going to screw up if we give it to them? Are they going to make a mistake that we regret? — There’s all those things factored in. And I love the fact that sometimes, talent are like ‘Well, it’s frustrating.’ Great, that means work harder. Get yourself there. Figure it out. Figure out the way. Figure how it gets done. I’ve seen a million talent succeed because of what they do. Not because storyline or creative. ‘They gave them the spot’. 99% of the time in this business, the person gets over then gets the push. That’s how it works. That’s how it’s supposed to work. You go do you then we follow it, because otherwise, most of the time, they will choke on it if it’s not what the fans believe in. Big believer in if you want the spot, go take it. Whenever anybody says ‘I don’t know why I’m not in that spot’…well I don’t know, are you more over than Cody? Roman? Punk? Liv? IYO? The people that are in that spot get there. Make those crowd reactions. Whatever you need to make it happen, that’s what we’re all here to do. I love that mentality because I think it makes people work harder, and if they’re not willing to work to get the spot then you shouldn’t have it anyway.” — via #SummerSlam Post-Show
