Recorded on my laptop 50 mins ago, some footage of #Earth2's #WIP 510,000,000km2 geologically accurate #Metaverse, #E2V1, to be widely powered by $ESS 🌎✌️ This footage shows seamless navigation in a 1:1 scale virtual #Earth from space down to detailed biomes, geological accuracy, satellite image overlay, #Player owned properties, interactable / playable environments and so forth. Development on this scale takes time, but we have set a good foundation and continue to make progress plus we have a few new exciting updates to share over the next couple of months. The early stage #prealpha testing is running behind schedule, but will be going ahead in #Q3. We do have a shortlist for that test but emails have not yet been sent out just yet. I know a lot of people are watching the $ESS token closely, but as I mentioned a few times before it launched, we expected a number of #Players to sell, especially those who acquired their $ESS in the early days when it was easier to mine & then from the high #staking rewards that I said would never been seen again. But at the end of the day people sell for different reasons. The #Web3 market is also taking a hit right now with $ETH and $BTC dropping over the past week, further dropping 5-6% over the past 24 hours. As you know, we are not in control of the pairing or pools, if the pool is linked to $ETH as opposed to a stable coin like $USDC, the movement of $ETH will also have an affect on $ESS, whether up or down. There are many well established coins with years of trading that are down 10-20% over the past week. It is important to remember these are still very early days, we still have a lot of steps ahead of us and we are still actively building our flagship product, something I believe is going to develop into a very robust product built with the future in mind. #Earth2 #Metaverse #E2V1 #Earth #Earth2Version1 $ESS

📺 $TSLA BREAKOUT UNDERWAY — $451.12 IS NEXT Please ❤️like and 🔁share with fellow Tesla traders/investors #Tesla has entered a critical technical decision zone where short-term momentum is accelerating, but major resistance is now directly overhead. The key focus is no longer simply the former range around $446.94, but the broader resistance cluster between $446.94 and $451.12 — an area that could determine whether #TSLA continues into a historic breakout phase or rolls over into another multi-month correction. Tuesday’s close above $430.57 was technically important because it represented a settlement above a key 5/8 Fibonacci retracement level from the prior two-week trading structure. That breakout shifted $TSLA into a new “3-to-5-day upside target phase,” with immediate objectives at: – $448.55 on the daily chart – $451.12 on the weekly chart * So, #TSLA is now entering an area capable of “containing buying” through June. In other words, the stock may still push into the upper-$440s or low-$450s, but this zone could absorb momentum and potentially trigger a larger reversal afterward. The bearish scenario from this resistance area is significant. If $TSLA fails to decisively break above $451.12, the expectation is that the stock could eventually fall all the way back toward the $352.31 rising channel bottom within a couple of months. That lower channel support has become a major anchor level in the broader long-term structure. * However, a confirmed breakout above $451.12 would dramatically change the outlook. A weekly settlement above $451.12 would trigger a major upside continuation setup: – Within roughly 2–3 weeks, $TSLA could rally toward $498.83, near the December 2025 highs and effectively back toward all-time highs. – Within approximately 2–3 months after breaking $451.12, $TSLA could target $542.37, which is a six-year rising channel top that has never been tested. Now, after the recent strength and breakout behavior above $430.57, the $540s become more of an “expected” outcome if $TSLA can secure a weekly close above $451.12. * The most important near-term pivot is $430.57. As long as #TSLA remains above $430.57, the stock remains in active upside rotation toward $448.55 over the next several days. If $TSLA closes back below $430.57, the tone changes immediately, and a pullback toward 413.04 becomes the primary expectation by Friday’s close. The $413.04 level is an important support. $TSLA could stabilize or “bottom out” there through next week before attempting another rebound. Traders could potentially go long near $413.04, anticipating another rotation back toward $448.55 within 1–2 weeks. But if $413.04 fails on a closing basis, the downside opens materially: – The next major target becomes $381.61, another 5/8 Fibonacci retracement – That move would likely unfold over 1–2 weeks and could mark another larger correction phase into later June * For very short-term swing traders (3–5 days): – Long positions are favored while momentum pushes toward $448.55. – Profit-taking is suggested in the upper-$440s. – Aggressive traders could even consider short positions from that resistance zone back into the low-$430s. For intermediate swing traders (1–2 weeks): – A rejection from resistance could target $413.04 again. For longer-term position traders (1–2 months): – Sell into the upper-$440s if expecting another larger retracement toward the low-$350s over the following months. * So, $TSLA now is at a highly important inflection point. The stock has regained strong momentum after reclaiming key Fibonacci levels and is now pressing directly into major multi-timeframe resistance between $446 and $451. The weekly close is critical: – Failure near resistance could trigger another large correction cycle. – A confirmed breakout above $451.12 could open the door to a run toward $500 first, and potentially the $540s later this year. * Watch the full analysis for May 27, 2026 in this short video🔽

This weekend sees the last ever episode of Football Focus broadcast on the BBC. One of my colleagues sent me this earlier this week. A montage of some of the stuff we did on the show and it brought back so many lovely memories ❤️ I can tell you exact spot where I was standing on the old runway at Turnberry golf club when I got the call to see if I wanted to become the presenter of Football Focus. I was covering The Open in 2009 and it was one of the best conversations I have ever had. For a kid who had grown up watching the show every week with my dad it was an amazing privilege to know that I would be hosting a programme which had always been such a big part of my weekend. I called my dad immediately and he was just as pleased as I was. When the news was announced I had a phone call from the one and only Bob Wilson. He was so warm and encouraging, as he always is, and said “Dan, you are gonna love this job. There is nothing like it… make sure you take care of it”. I hope I did. As a former custodian of the couch, Bob knew how special it was and I felt the same way when I handed over the reins to the brilliant Alex Scott when I left Focus after 12 seasons. People still talk to me about the show all the time. Focus is stitched into my life and I know there are still so many fans who really care about it which is why it’s such a crazy decision to get rid of it. Move it to Saturday morning, tinker with the format but, in a world where there is such a premium on reliable and trusted brands, why would you throw away over 50 years of hard work and history? It carries weight. I remember interviewing Pele years ago and I told him I was from Football Focus and he said “I know all about Football Focus” with a big smile. When we were filming a show about the history of Barcelona at the Nou Camp we were about to sit down to talk to Eusebio and Johan Cryuff (I had to pinch myself about that one) and Sir Bobby Charlton walked over and said to them, “You can tell this is important gentlemen… the team from Football Focus are here”. When I called Noel Gallagher to talk about an idea we had to get him to interview Mario Ballotelli at Manchester City he rearranged his world tour to be there. Obviously Balotelli was a draw but Noel said “I’d do anything for Football Focus”. When I interviewed Jurgen Klopp in the tearoom at Exeter City before an FA cup tie the lovely ladies serving brews were wedged into the corner while we spoke. I introduced them to Mr Klopp afterwards and he apologised for stealing their space; “Don’t worry about that” they said. “We’ve just been on Football Focus! Wait until we tell the family about this!”. I know the game has changed and the way we consume it has changed but there is still an audience there if you find the right place for it, promote it, ‘take care of it’ and give fans the chance to be part of the conversation on an informed, thoughtful and entertaining show about the sport we all love. I am gutted it’s going but also so thankful for all the amazing people I got to work with over the years. They remain life-long friends and I still can’t quite believe I got to sit alongside the people I grew up watching play the game at the highest level. I remember when Alan Shearer called me “Dan” on one of the first shows I worked on. The little kid inside me thought “Alan Shearer knows my name!”. It was a pleasure to work with so many brilliant pundits and it was great to watch Alex develop on Focus and then go on to host the programme so well. I was asked this week to pick a favourite moment from my 12 years on the show. It’s a very hard question because I have a huge catalogue of wonderful memories. I always look back on our on-the-road shows because we were taking Focus out to the fans; their club was the canvas and we got to paint a beautiful picture together each week about what the place meant to the community, the history, the culture and all the things that were part of that.

You could spend your Sunday looking through hundreds of charts. I already did. Here are the names, levels, and setups that actually stood out for next week ☺️ The indices are holding up, but underneath the surface the market is getting increasingly selective. Semiconductors are starting to show strength again. Bitcoin is improving. Breadth remains poor, yields are pushing higher, and macro risk is still very much alive. ↘ $MSFT is showing relative strength. ↘ $MU looks like it may be starting a new uptrend. ↘ $META remains one of the strongest charts on the board. Here’s the watchlist and recording: $SPX: Still holding above the daily trendline after last week’s breakout and backtest. Price action itself remains constructive, and as long as that trendline holds I’m cautiously optimistic we can push toward 7775 and eventually the all-time high around 7816. The concern is everything underneath the surface: yields are rising, VIX is elevated, oil remains sensitive to the Middle East, and breadth is poor. The longer SPX stalls here, the more vulnerable it becomes to a move back toward 7500. ⋆ $QQQ: Tested fresh all-time highs last week before pulling back, but buyers stepped back in Thursday and Friday. The structure remains constructive. I’m watching 748 closely. A clean break there could start the next move into new highs. $IWM: Completely different picture from SPX and QQQ. Small caps remain in a clear downtrend and continue riding the 9-day moving average lower. 275 and the 200-day moving average are now must-hold support. Lose that and downside could accelerate. ⋆ Favorites this week: QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, AMD, BE, QCOM, COST, MU, PDD, HOOD, COIN, META and MRNA base:0xe4b20925d9e9a62f1e492e15a81dc0de62804dd4: Starting to look much better. After consolidating following the August move, Bitcoin has resumed higher and is showing relative strength. Holding 83K keeps the structure constructive, with 87K–88K next and potentially 100K beyond that. ⋆ $AAPL: Strong Friday close near the highs. As long as 340 holds, I’m looking for a push toward 345. A clean break above 345 could finally trigger the larger continuation move. ⋆ $MSFT: One of the strongest mega-cap charts on Friday. Quickly reclaimed 500 and showed significant relative strength throughout the session. I’m watching 518–520 early this week. Above that could open a move toward new highs, with 533 a logical target. $GOOGL: Attempted to push into new highs but ran directly into the daily trendline and pulled back. It is still holding the 200-day and putting in a higher low, but the price action has been difficult. Hands off until the chart gives us something cleaner. $AMZN: Still trapped in a clear downtrend. Nothing technically compelling here for me right now, so I’d rather focus elsewhere. $NFLX: The previous push toward 85 worked well, but momentum has faded and the stock has been giving that move back. No clean setup here for now. ⋆ $NVDA: Continues threatening a move into new all-time highs but hasn't been able to finish the job. I remain constructive. Above 230 early in the week opens 235, and a break through 235 could finally trigger the move into fresh highs. $TSLA: Friday’s rejection was ugly and once again showed how difficult this stock has been to hold for multiple days. Every burst of strength seems to attract sellers. The 200-day is sitting just below 400, making 400 the key level. Until Tesla reclaims it, I’m treating this mostly as an intraday trading vehicle. ⋆ $AMD: One of the stronger semiconductor charts. Reclaimed 600, backtested it and found buyers almost immediately. That relative strength keeps AMD high on the list if semiconductors continue higher. $SMH: Semiconductors are beginning to improve. SMH reclaimed the 50-day moving average and broke its daily downtrend, which could make the group an important source of leadership again. Worth watching closely this week. ⋆ $BE: Strong close near the highs after catching a bid over several sessions. Still trading inside the larger daily structure, but above 300 I think this could start squeezing and become a much cleaner momentum trade. $DELL: Continues to act extremely well. The next level I’m watching is 572. Above that could start a push toward the all-time-high area, with 600 becoming the obvious psychological target. $SMTC: Showing renewed strength alongside the semiconductor group. If SMH continues improving, this is one of the individual names that could benefit. The setup remains constructive for a potential move back toward the highs. $DDOG: Strong Friday move, but 278–280 remains significant resistance around the prior all-time-high area. A clean break through that zone could give us a quick continuation trade. ⋆ $QCOM: Another semiconductor showing improvement. Friday was strong and 205 becomes the upside trigger. I want to see 200 hold early in the week. Below that I’d step aside, but above 205 this could start moving. $HNGE: Continues trading very mechanically but remains in a constructive trend. Watching 97 for a breakout and potential push toward the psychological 100 level. ⋆ $COST: One of my playbook setups from Friday. Earnings initially gapped the stock lower, but buyers squeezed the shorts and closed it near the highs. I’m watching 925 for continuation, while a backtest into 910–912 could offer another long. Resistance sits around 935. $SKYH: Building a higher low on the daily and beginning to improve. Above 195 would make the setup considerably more interesting. ⋆ $MRNA: Had a strong week after breaking out of its daily structure and remains firmly in play. The key is reclaiming 200. Above that opens 203–205, and a clean break through that area could trigger a much larger continuation move. $SNDK: Still not offering much technically. The larger move I'm interested in doesn't really begin until it can reclaim 2000. Until then, hands off. $JPM: Remains in a strong downtrend and continues riding the 9-day moving average lower. A bounce toward 346 could actually offer a cleaner downside setup rather than a long. $GS: Similar picture to JPM. Broke the 200-day moving average and continues trending lower beneath the 9-day. Watching around 946 for a potential short if sellers continue controlling the tape. $ARM: Pulled back after testing 340. The more interesting area for me is around 300, which lines up with the top of its previous range. A clean backtest and hold there could create an attractive dip-buy setup. $MRVL: Starting to improve after breaking higher and consolidating. Watching the 267–270 area. A clean move through there could turn this into another semiconductor continuation setup. $BA: Continues looking weak after spending several sessions around 200. As long as it remains below 200–205, I’m looking at pops as potential shorts. 187–185 could become the next downside area. ⋆ $MU: One of my top watches this week. The chart looks like it is beginning a new uptrend after breaking its downtrend, successfully backtesting it and reclaiming all the important moving averages. The 9, 20 and 50-day are now stacked correctly. Above 1100 could spark a larger move toward 1250+. $IBM: Looking tired and setting up as a potential downside continuation trade. Below 225 could open 215–216, and if weakness persists, 200 eventually comes into play. ⋆ $PDD: Chinese stocks remain weak and PDD is the downside setup I like best within the group. Watching 77. A break below could open a move toward 72. ⋆ $HOOD: Still holding up relatively well, especially with Bitcoin improving. Watching 120 for a recovery. This is a close watch for me, and if crypto remains strong, it could become one of the better Bitcoin-adjacent setups. $PLTR: Strong week and still very much in play. I want to see the prior all-time-high area around 188–190 hold. If it does, another weekly continuation could create a squeeze toward 200 and eventually 207. $MSTR: Looking tired despite Bitcoin improving. There are cleaner crypto-related setups elsewhere for now. $RDDT: Potential downside setup developing. Around 144 could either become a bounce area or, if that trendline breaks, open a much larger move lower toward 115. ⋆ $COIN: Consolidating constructively after reclaiming the 200-day moving average. I'm watching for a move back above 200. If Bitcoin remains strong, I think this could become one of the cleaner crypto-related trades this week. $NBIS: Has struggled repeatedly with its downtrend line but is finally trading back above it. The backtest held, which is constructive. As long as it stays above that breakout area, I think another push higher remains possible. $NET: Continues to be one of the strongest software charts. It has been riding the 9-day moving average beautifully throughout the uptrend. A pullback toward 340, or even 330–335, could offer an attractive long if buyers continue defending the trend. $CRWD: Similar story to NET. Still one of the software leaders. A backtest of 250 that holds could create another clean continuation setup. ⋆ $META: One of my top watches this week. It printed an inside day while remaining one of the market’s strongest leaders. 745–746 is the first key level, but the bigger trigger is 770. Above 770 opens the recent highs, and above 780 could start a move toward 800+. $INTC: Another semiconductor worth watching as the group improves. 127–128 is the key breakout area. $OKTA: Pulling back into the 9-day moving average after a strong run. Watching 195 to see if buyers defend the trend. A hold could create another upside setup. $ZS: The previous uptrend has clearly weakened after losing the 9-day moving average. A recovery of 200–202 and the 9-day could spark a bounce back higher. Otherwise, the trend shift remains intact. Overall theme: The indices continue to hold up, but this remains a very selective market. SPX and QQQ are close enough to their highs that another breakout is absolutely possible, while IWM continues to deteriorate. Semiconductors are starting to improve again, Bitcoin is showing strength, and a handful of software and mega-cap names continue carrying the tape. At the same time, breadth remains poor, yields are pushing higher, VIX is elevated and geopolitical risk remains very real. I remain cautiously optimistic, but this is still a market where stock selection matters more than simply being long. ⋆ Favorites this week: QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, AMD, BE, QCOM, COST, MU, PDD, HOOD, COIN, META and MRNA Also, I’m restarting the Small Account Challenge with $10,000 this week.

24:31

You could spend your Sunday looking through hundreds of charts. I already did. Here are the names, levels, and setups that actually stood out for next week ☺️ The indices are holding up, but underneath the surface the market is getting increasingly selective. Semiconductors are starting to show strength again. Bitcoin is improving. Breadth remains poor, yields are pushing higher, and macro risk is still very much alive. ↘ $MSFT is showing relative strength. ↘ $MU looks like it may be starting a new uptrend. ↘ $META remains one of the strongest charts on the board. Here’s the watchlist and recording: $SPX: Still holding above the daily trendline after last week’s breakout and backtest. Price action itself remains constructive, and as long as that trendline holds I’m cautiously optimistic we can push toward 7775 and eventually the all-time high around 7816. The concern is everything underneath the surface: yields are rising, VIX is elevated, oil remains sensitive to the Middle East, and breadth is poor. The longer SPX stalls here, the more vulnerable it becomes to a move back toward 7500. ⋆ $QQQ: Tested fresh all-time highs last week before pulling back, but buyers stepped back in Thursday and Friday. The structure remains constructive. I’m watching 748 closely. A clean break there could start the next move into new highs. $IWM: Completely different picture from SPX and QQQ. Small caps remain in a clear downtrend and continue riding the 9-day moving average lower. 275 and the 200-day moving average are now must-hold support. Lose that and downside could accelerate. ⋆ Favorites this week: QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, AMD, BE, QCOM, COST, MU, PDD, HOOD, COIN, META and MRNA base:0xe4b20925d9e9a62f1e492e15a81dc0de62804dd4: Starting to look much better. After consolidating following the August move, Bitcoin has resumed higher and is showing relative strength. Holding 83K keeps the structure constructive, with 87K–88K next and potentially 100K beyond that. ⋆ $AAPL: Strong Friday close near the highs. As long as 340 holds, I’m looking for a push toward 345. A clean break above 345 could finally trigger the larger continuation move. ⋆ $MSFT: One of the strongest mega-cap charts on Friday. Quickly reclaimed 500 and showed significant relative strength throughout the session. I’m watching 518–520 early this week. Above that could open a move toward new highs, with 533 a logical target. $GOOGL: Attempted to push into new highs but ran directly into the daily trendline and pulled back. It is still holding the 200-day and putting in a higher low, but the price action has been difficult. Hands off until the chart gives us something cleaner. $AMZN: Still trapped in a clear downtrend. Nothing technically compelling here for me right now, so I’d rather focus elsewhere. $NFLX: The previous push toward 85 worked well, but momentum has faded and the stock has been giving that move back. No clean setup here for now. ⋆ $NVDA: Continues threatening a move into new all-time highs but hasn't been able to finish the job. I remain constructive. Above 230 early in the week opens 235, and a break through 235 could finally trigger the move into fresh highs. $TSLA: Friday’s rejection was ugly and once again showed how difficult this stock has been to hold for multiple days. Every burst of strength seems to attract sellers. The 200-day is sitting just below 400, making 400 the key level. Until Tesla reclaims it, I’m treating this mostly as an intraday trading vehicle. ⋆ $AMD: One of the stronger semiconductor charts. Reclaimed 600, backtested it and found buyers almost immediately. That relative strength keeps AMD high on the list if semiconductors continue higher. $SMH: Semiconductors are beginning to improve. SMH reclaimed the 50-day moving average and broke its daily downtrend, which could make the group an important source of leadership again. Worth watching closely this week. ⋆ $BE: Strong close near the highs after catching a bid over several sessions. Still trading inside the larger daily structure, but above 300 I think this could start squeezing and become a much cleaner momentum trade. $DELL: Continues to act extremely well. The next level I’m watching is 572. Above that could start a push toward the all-time-high area, with 600 becoming the obvious psychological target. $SMTC: Showing renewed strength alongside the semiconductor group. If SMH continues improving, this is one of the individual names that could benefit. The setup remains constructive for a potential move back toward the highs. $DDOG: Strong Friday move, but 278–280 remains significant resistance around the prior all-time-high area. A clean break through that zone could give us a quick continuation trade. ⋆ $QCOM: Another semiconductor showing improvement. Friday was strong and 205 becomes the upside trigger. I want to see 200 hold early in the week. Below that I’d step aside, but above 205 this could start moving. $HNGE: Continues trading very mechanically but remains in a constructive trend. Watching 97 for a breakout and potential push toward the psychological 100 level. ⋆ $COST: One of my playbook setups from Friday. Earnings initially gapped the stock lower, but buyers squeezed the shorts and closed it near the highs. I’m watching 925 for continuation, while a backtest into 910–912 could offer another long. Resistance sits around 935. $SKYH: Building a higher low on the daily and beginning to improve. Above 195 would make the setup considerably more interesting. ⋆ $MRNA: Had a strong week after breaking out of its daily structure and remains firmly in play. The key is reclaiming 200. Above that opens 203–205, and a clean break through that area could trigger a much larger continuation move. $SNDK: Still not offering much technically. The larger move I'm interested in doesn't really begin until it can reclaim 2000. Until then, hands off. $JPM: Remains in a strong downtrend and continues riding the 9-day moving average lower. A bounce toward 346 could actually offer a cleaner downside setup rather than a long. $GS: Similar picture to JPM. Broke the 200-day moving average and continues trending lower beneath the 9-day. Watching around 946 for a potential short if sellers continue controlling the tape. $ARM: Pulled back after testing 340. The more interesting area for me is around 300, which lines up with the top of its previous range. A clean backtest and hold there could create an attractive dip-buy setup. $MRVL: Starting to improve after breaking higher and consolidating. Watching the 267–270 area. A clean move through there could turn this into another semiconductor continuation setup. $BA: Continues looking weak after spending several sessions around 200. As long as it remains below 200–205, I’m looking at pops as potential shorts. 187–185 could become the next downside area. ⋆ $MU: One of my top watches this week. The chart looks like it is beginning a new uptrend after breaking its downtrend, successfully backtesting it and reclaiming all the important moving averages. The 9, 20 and 50-day are now stacked correctly. Above 1100 could spark a larger move toward 1250+. $IBM: Looking tired and setting up as a potential downside continuation trade. Below 225 could open 215–216, and if weakness persists, 200 eventually comes into play. ⋆ $PDD: Chinese stocks remain weak and PDD is the downside setup I like best within the group. Watching 77. A break below could open a move toward 72. ⋆ $HOOD: Still holding up relatively well, especially with Bitcoin improving. Watching 120 for a recovery. This is a close watch for me, and if crypto remains strong, it could become one of the better Bitcoin-adjacent setups. $PLTR: Strong week and still very much in play. I want to see the prior all-time-high area around 188–190 hold. If it does, another weekly continuation could create a squeeze toward 200 and eventually 207. $MSTR: Looking tired despite Bitcoin improving. There are cleaner crypto-related setups elsewhere for now. $RDDT: Potential downside setup developing. Around 144 could either become a bounce area or, if that trendline breaks, open a much larger move lower toward 115. ⋆ $COIN: Consolidating constructively after reclaiming the 200-day moving average. I'm watching for a move back above 200. If Bitcoin remains strong, I think this could become one of the cleaner crypto-related trades this week. $NBIS: Has struggled repeatedly with its downtrend line but is finally trading back above it. The backtest held, which is constructive. As long as it stays above that breakout area, I think another push higher remains possible. $NET: Continues to be one of the strongest software charts. It has been riding the 9-day moving average beautifully throughout the uptrend. A pullback toward 340, or even 330–335, could offer an attractive long if buyers continue defending the trend. $CRWD: Similar story to NET. Still one of the software leaders.

I spent 2 hours of my weekend reviewing hundreds of charts so you don't have to. These are the setups that stood out and what you should focus on this week ✌️ The market continues to consolidate rather than break. The S&P 500 keeps absorbing selling pressure. Buyers continue defending key support while most of the Magnificent Seven are now through earnings. Software and semiconductors are waiting for catalysts this week, with AMD, SNDK, WDC and DDOG likely setting the tone. Here’s the watchlist and recording: $SPX: July finished as an inside month after the explosive April-May rally. That is constructive, not bearish. Buyers continue defending the 7350 area, producing another higher low. Above 7550 opens the door to 7600, then a retest of the all-time highs. Above that, 7800-8000 becomes the longer-term objective. Below 7350 would shift the technical picture. $QQQ: Reclaimed the 9-day moving average but remains below the 20 and 50-day. The next few sessions should determine whether this is the start of a trend reversal or simply another bounce within the recent downtrend. $IWM: Still trading inside a well-defined channel. Nothing has changed technically. A break above the channel is needed before it becomes attractive again. $SMH: Trading similarly to IWM with lower highs and lower lows. AMD, SNDK and WDC earnings could become the catalyst that finally resolves the current range. $AAPL: Huge post-earnings gap lower after being one of the strongest charts beforehand. If buyers begin filling the gap and reclaim 320, the technical picture improves significantly with potential for a move back toward the highs. Failure opens room toward 290. $NFLX: A great example of how strong charts can recover from earnings gaps. The previous gap has already been filled. Holding above 75 would strengthen the bullish case and open the door for another leg higher. $MSFT: One of the strongest charts after earnings. The market rewarded management’s AI spending, validating the CapEx story. Above 467-470 would reinforce the breakout and keep momentum pointing higher. $GOOGL: Strong earnings recovery brought price back to the same trendline that rejected price in mid-July. Above 360 targets 375. A break above 375 would put all-time highs back in play. $AMZN: Excellent post-earnings reaction and back near all-time highs. A couple of inside days followed by a breakout could set up a move toward 273-275, with 300 becoming the longer-term objective. $TSLA: Still one of the weakest mega-cap charts. Trend remains firmly lower and it’s difficult to find a technical edge. SpaceX earnings may influence sentiment, but for now this remains a hands-off trade. $NVDA: A couple of constructive sessions but still waiting for a true momentum shift. AMD, SNDK and WDC earnings could become an important catalyst for the semiconductor group. Better than Tesla technically, but still not a high-conviction setup. $AXTI: Finished Friday up roughly 20%. One of the stronger photonics names to monitor if AI infrastructure names begin regaining momentum. $AMBA: Buyout rumors fueled the recent move. Watching the 90 area to see whether buyers can build on speculation or if momentum fades. $VRT: Nice Friday bounce but still trapped in a heavy downtrend below the 200-day moving average. Needs far more evidence before becoming interesting again. $BABA: Quietly improving. Established a higher low and reclaimed 120 after bottoming near 90. Earnings later this month could provide another catalyst if the uptrend continues. $GTLB: One of the cleaner software setups. Watching 35 as a well-defined breakout level. $WDC: Earnings this week alongside SNDK will likely determine the next move for the memory group. Pulling back from highs but could become a sector leader if results are well received. $OSCR: Quietly consolidating near all-time highs. Above 31.5-32 could trigger another breakout leg. $V: Continues acting well near highs. One of the stronger financial names. Watching for continuation toward fresh highs. $SNOW: Broke above 300 before pulling back. A reclaim of 300 would put this back on the radar, especially if software improves after DDOG earnings. $BA: Earnings gap was bought aggressively. Consolidating well and showing resilience after results. $CRWV: Remains in a heavy downtrend, riding declining moving averages. No reason to get involved until the technical picture changes. $SPCX: First earnings report as a public company arrives this week. Trading well below the IPO price and deep below prior highs. Earnings will likely determine whether this finally begins carving out a bottom. $MU: A couple of encouraging sessions but still a difficult chart. Closely tied to SNDK and WDC earnings. Waiting for confirmation before becoming constructive. $COIN: Sitting on a major 140 support level after an 11% decline. A break below could accelerate downside, while a strong defense would improve the technical picture. $RDDT: Sharp post-earnings selloff. Either buyers reclaim the highs and fill the gap, or the breakdown continues. Waiting for confirmation. $RBLX: Clear double top around 145-150 followed by persistent selling. Trend remains lower and there is no technical edge yet. Overall theme: The market remains constructive despite recent volatility. The S&P 500 continues to build higher lows while defending the critical 7350 area, suggesting buyers still control the bigger picture. Most of the Magnificent Seven are now through earnings, shifting attention toward semiconductors, software and AI infrastructure. This week’s earnings from AMD, SNDK, WDC, DDOG and SPCX could become the next major catalysts. MSFT, AMZN, GOOGL, OSCR, V, WDC and SNOW are some of my favorite charts going into next week. 🖤

#EastEnders WHAT A DUFF DUFF! 😱😬 A good scene at No 1 Albert Square where Ned shares a moment with Nicola who keeps her cards close to her chest following her heart to heart with Nicola whilst Ian thanks Ned for looking out for him before Ned clocks his son on the Square kissing another guy - but is Ryder in danger? I'm getting some really dark and sinister vibes from Ned and I get the feeling he's definitely going to become this "Bigshot" villain by the time the Flashforward comes around. We know he's doing some illegal activities with his clients, he helped cover up the murder of Nicola's dad and then tonight we saw Ned delve into his therapist side as he helps Ian confront his trauma head on - but with Ned finding out about Ian's business empire last night from Alfie - Are Ned's intentions with Ian genuine? Or will he start targeting him and his businesses at some point down the line? 👀🤔 Ian and Nicola need to keep their wits about them. This moment at the start of the scene with Ned and Nicola was interesting - Ned suddenly taking an interest in Ryder and Nicola's relationship - keeping in mind at this point Nicola knows about Ryder's sexuality after he confided in Nicola about it - worried about how his dad might react if he knew he wasn't straight. I wonder if this might trigger something even darker and more sinister in Ned? The fact that Nicola knows about Ryder's sexuality before he did - Ned is very quick to undermine Nicola in even more so now he's got half of Harry's Barn - any opportunity he's got to goad her he'll take it and it's looking likely that Nicola's 2nd killer secret might be coming under threat again especially if Ned knows that Nicola knew Ryder's secret before he did expecially after what he's just seen. There's definitely signs of Ned being homophobic and we know there's a toxic masculnity storyline coming with Ned already talking down to Ryder so I'm intrigued to see how next week's events play out within this storyline. Will Ned become physically or mentally violent with his son potentially? I'm intrigued by all this illegal stuff that Ned is doing with his clients as well - keeping in mind George is staring to become wary of him too following his chat with Teddy - Will Teddy come back into this storyline at some point too? Meanwhile, I enjoyed Ian and Ned's scenes today - We've seen many strands of Ned since he arrived but it was good today to gain an insight into his history as a therapist today as he encourages Ian to face up to his actions and confront his trauma - Ian needs to start to become wary of Ned though and I don't think his intentions are genuine - Ian has just come out of prison he's vulnerable and a shell of himself making Ian an easy target for Ned - I get the vibe that Ned become this sort of "Bigshot Business Bigwig" on the Square by 2027 - A man nobody can mess with and underestimate with many Walford businesses under his belt and a dark side that nobody dares to touch. Ned is already close with 2 key characters in the Flashforward - Ian and Nicola and we know he Blackmails Mark over his affair with Lauren next week as well so that's a 3rd character from the FF who is at the centre of Ned's schemes and dark motivations but just how far is Ned really going to go ahead of the Flashforward before things eventually reach a head that's what we need to find out? 👀🤔 Don't forget Nicola is on crutches in the Flashforward and has developed a feud with Chelsea which hasn't been explored yet - but does this tie into Ned too? There's rumblings and rumours of a possible fire on the Square - this could be the incident that Max saves Ethan and Jimmy from together and if Ned is centre of the FF he's bound to come into Max's orbit at some stage with Max at the centre of the episode - it's just a matter of when and how they'll get in contact is the question. Ned is a very complex and compelling character. 💫 - What are your theories on Ned ahead of the Flashforward?

I spent my Saturday mapping the setups that matter most for next week. The market is still searching for direction 👇 Semiconductors are losing momentum. Software is holding up. Select mega caps are quietly starting to reclaim relative strength. Here’s the watchlist and recording: $SPX: Failed breakout above 7530 and reversed sharply. Still trading inside a tightening triangle. Holding 7400 keeps the range intact. Reclaiming 7500 would shift the bias back higher. Losing 7400 opens 7300, then 7240. $QQQ: Failed breakout and back inside its range. Watching for either a reclaim of the highs or a break lower from consolidation. $IWM: Still one of the stronger indices. Broke to fresh all-time highs this week. Extended short term, but the trend remains constructive. $BTC: Showing relative strength versus equities but still below the 200-day moving average. No trade for now. $AAPL: One of the strongest charts on the board. AI chip headlines and foldable iPhone reports fueled the move. Watching a break of Friday’s highs toward all-time highs. $MSFT: Quietly improving. Reclaimed the 9-day and 20-day moving averages. Above 400 becomes much more interesting. $NFLX: Failed breakdown continues to work. Last week’s 75 reclaim is now extending higher. Still one of the stronger mega-cap charts. $NVDA: Semiconductors continue to weaken. Rejected the 9-day and drifting back toward the 200-day. Better opportunities elsewhere for now. $TSLA: Ugly reversal despite beating delivery expectations. Rejected 432 and finished near 392. Needs 400 reclaimed before becoming interesting again. $AMZN: Quiet relative strength. Still a difficult trade, but worth monitoring if mega caps continue to rotate higher. $GOOGL: Holding up better than many peers but still lacking a clean technical trigger. $SMH: Losing momentum. Watching closely as semiconductors continue to weaken. $MSTR: Bitcoin strength is helping. Worth keeping on the radar. $ADBE: Quiet recovery underway. Watching 225. $COIN: Showing improving relative strength alongside crypto. $HOOD: Expansion into 30 European countries fueled the recent rally. Watching 120 closely after today’s rejection. $PLTR: Failed breakdown continues to recover. Holding above 125 keeps the recovery thesis alive. $MA: Strong recovery back above the 200-day moving average. $V: Similar setup to Mastercard. Quiet accumulation after months of weakness. $PYPL: Improving technically. Worth monitoring if payment stocks continue rotating higher. $XYZ: Last week’s breakout worked almost perfectly. Above 82 opens another leg higher. $LLY: Healthcare leadership remains intact. Watching the bull flag and eventual breakout above 1238. $CRWD: Holding up well after the split. Watching the 200 level closely. $BAC: One of the stronger financials. Watching for a breakout into new highs. $GS: Weak relative to peers. $C: Also lagging despite strength elsewhere in financials. $WFC: Pulling back while BAC leads. $PANW: Strong continuation this week. Watching 360 after a brief pause. $DDOG: Still constructive but needs a breakout from the current lower-high structure. $NET: Similar setup to DDOG. Watching for software continuation. $MDB: Holding 365. Could become interesting if software stays strong. $HIMS: Quietly grinding higher. $UNH: Strong recovery. Watching 430. $AVGO: Breaking below the 200-day moving average. Semis continue to deteriorate. $MU: Lost the 1000 level after an impressive run. Momentum cooling. $SNDK: Continued downside after losing 2000. 1850 remains the next major area. $LRCX: Another semiconductor under pressure. $MRVL: Watching for either a failed breakdown or continuation lower. Overall theme: Software continues to hold up better than semiconductors. Several mega-cap names are quietly showing improving relative strength. Financials are becoming more selective. The tape still rewards patience more than aggression. AAPL, MSFT, NFLX, BAC, XYZ, LLY, and CRWD are some of my favorite charts going into next week.

I spent my Saturday mapping the setups that matter most for next week. The market is still searching for direction 👇 Semiconductors are losing momentum. Software is holding up. Select mega caps are quietly starting to reclaim relative strength. Here’s the watchlist and recording: $SPX: Failed breakout above 7530 and reversed sharply. Still trading inside a tightening triangle. Holding 7400 keeps the range intact. Reclaiming 7500 would shift the bias back higher. Losing 7400 opens 7300, then 7240. $QQQ: Failed breakout and back inside its range. Watching for either a reclaim of the highs or a break lower from consolidation. $IWM: Still one of the stronger indices. Broke to fresh all-time highs this week.

September 1, 1939. At dawn, one and a half million German soldiers pour across the border into Poland, and the Second World War begins. Over the next six years it will kill somewhere between 70 and 85 million people and reshape the world. It starts here, on this grey morning, with a war built on a lie and fought with a brutality the world had not yet imagined. Yesterday I told you about the pretext, the staged attack at Gleiwitz, the murdered prisoners dressed as Polish soldiers. This is what the lie was for. The German plan was called Fall Weiss, Case White, and it was overwhelming. Two great army groups drove into Poland. Army Group North, under General von Bock, thrust down from Prussia to cut off the Polish corridor and drive on Warsaw. Army Group South, the stronger, under General von Rundstedt, smashed in from Silesia and Slovakia, aimed at Krakow and the capital. The Poles were nearly surrounded before the first day was out, attacked from the north, the west, and the south all at once along a border almost 1,750 miles long. And it came in a form the world had never seen. The Germans called it Blitzkrieg, lightning war. Instead of the slow, grinding trench warfare of the last war, they concentrated their tanks into fast armored spearheads that punched clean through the front and raced deep into the rear, while dive bombers, the screaming Stukas, flew ahead like airborne artillery, smashing strongpoints, cratering roads, and terrorizing refugees, and motorized infantry poured through the gaps behind the tanks. It was fast, coordinated by radio, and paralyzing. The Polish command could barely react before its units were cut off and surrounded. The Luftwaffe won the air war in days. It bombed Polish airfields, rail junctions, and cities, and destroyed much of the Polish air force early, some of it on the ground, and then owned the sky, free to hammer the Polish armies and the roads clogged with fleeing civilians. The Poles fought hard, and they fought bravely, but they were in an impossible position. They had been forced to spread their army thinly along that enormous border to defend the whole country, rather than concentrating behind a shorter, more defensible line, and so they were strong nowhere. Their equipment was largely a generation behind. And here I should kill a myth, because it is one of the most famous images of this campaign and it is essentially false. The story that Polish cavalry, in some doomed romantic gesture, charged German tanks with lances and sabers is German and Italian wartime propaganda. Polish cavalry were mounted infantry, armed with rifles, machine guns, and anti-tank guns, and they fought skillfully. The legend grew from a single engagement where Polish horsemen overran German infantry and were then caught in the open by armored cars, and correspondents brought to the scene afterward, seeing dead horses and German tanks nearby, spun the tale of the suicidal charge. It never happened the way the myth says. The Poles even managed to strike back. The largest battle of the whole campaign was the Battle of the Bzura, west of Warsaw, in the second week of September, where Polish armies caught in the German advance turned and launched a fierce counteroffensive that surprised the Germans and won some early success, before superior German numbers, armor, and airpower crushed it and destroyed two Polish armies. It was a last flare of Polish offensive spirit, and it failed. Then came the blow that sealed Poland's fate. On September 17, in accordance with the secret protocol of the Nazi-Soviet Pact I told you about in August, the Soviet Union invaded Poland from the east. The Poles, already reeling from the German onslaught, now had the Red Army pouring in behind them. There was no hope after that. The Polish government fled into exile, the army was caught between two invaders, and the country was crushed and, once again in its history, partitioned between its two great neighbors and erased from the map. Warsaw held out with astonishing stubbornness, besieged, bombed, and shelled, its civilians enduring terrible bombardment, until it finally surrendered on September 28. Isolated Polish units fought on into October. And behind the front lines, from the very first days, came a foretaste of what this war and this regime truly meant. Following the army into Poland were the Einsatzgruppen, the SS killing squads, and they went straight to work under an operation called Tannenberg, systematically murdering Polish civilians, the educated classes, priests, teachers, officials, nobility, anyone who might lead or resist, along with Jews. Thousands were shot at hundreds of execution sites in the opening weeks, tens of thousands by the end of the year. This was not a byproduct of the fighting. It was policy, the deliberate decapitation and terrorizing of a nation, the opening act of the campaign of mass murder that would define the war and lead to the Holocaust. Britain and France had pledged to defend Poland, and on September 3 they declared war on Germany, turning the invasion into a world war. But they could do nothing to save Poland itself, which was gone in a matter of weeks. So this is the day it all began. Every single thing I have told you about across these weeks, El Alamein and Stalingrad, Normandy and Guadalcanal, the camps and the bombers and the two atomic flashes, every death and every act of courage in the whole vast catastrophe, flows from this morning, September 1, 1939, when German tanks crossed the Polish frontier in the dawn and the deadliest war in the history of the world began.

Introducing… 🐾The Forgotten Field Project🐾 What began as a simple errand to the dollar store last week, became a desperate situation Priya Gandolf’s Legacy Cat Rescue could not walk away from. Movement in the field next door caught Priya’s eye. Six abandoned 4 wk old kittens without their mother. A baby mother herself, barely six months old, with eyes clearly indicating illness, trying to care for 4 tiny two-week-old kittens. Her head sticking out of a makeshift shelter, eyes festering and a pleading look for help. She showed no fear, perhaps too unwell to run, or too weak. Cats running everywhere. Some terribly thin. Some appeared sick. Many with goopy, infected eyes. And a couple appear possibly pregnant. There are obvious signs that someone, at some point, had tried to help… Old makeshift shelters. Empty food dishes long dried up by the sun. But now they’re left alone, sick, hungry and a couple appear possibly pregnant. Priya hurried to get food and water, and they ate and drank with wild desperate hunger and thirst. This is not just a handful of cats. This is an unmanaged colony of approximately 30 fur babies living beside a dollar store, in an empty lot thick with brambles. Unsafe from road traffic, a busy parking lot, predators who roam the area. Trapped in the cruel cycle of kittens having kittens. It’s not a “lovely spot out in the woods”. We have managed many colonies over the years, and coming upon this tragedy never, ever! gets easy. And it never comes at a time when it’s financially or spatially feasible to help them. Because in rescue, perfect timing hardly ever exists. And wasting time and your breath harping about the neglect and cold hearted actions of humans…is well, just that. You just do…because turning your back would only be more of what has already been done to them! And they deserve Help. Food. Vet care. Relief. Love. Home. A Safe Soft place to land. So starting now and over this summer, with your help, we are taking this colony on as a full Rescue and TNR project. The Forgotten Field Project will focus on: • Regularly feeding every cat • Rescuing the adoptable ones/finding homes • Vet care/Treating all the sick and injured ones first! • TNR’ing the feral cats. Hopefully relocating them perhaps into a barn cat program, as releasing them back to this location is not the ideal place for them to be. And/or hopefully, finding homes that are willing to house and work with the feral ones. Some are just more “feral” than others and can be rehabilitated. Honestly, when the fear is handled, so is the “feral” in so many cases. They need a chance to discover what love is! • And most importantly… fixing all of them to STOP this heartbreaking vicious cycle of suffering and reproduction. This will not happen overnight. It’s a huge undertaking.🦾 It will take food, vetting, medication, spay/neuter appointments, recovery space, patience, and an enormous amount of community support. But we cannot turn our backs now that we’ve seen them, we must do. ❣️The six abandoned 4 wk old kittens are already safe with us and, thanks to your help, have their first vet visits on Wednesday, 5/20. Safe and loved, their lives are changed forever. Next up… 🚨 Immediate priority is to get the Momma with the goopy eyes and her 4 little kittens out. Though it appears it might be just infected eyes, it’s imperative that we get her out now, to get vet care. She’s nursing 4 babies, and she needs proper care, nutrition and a proper place to nurse and raise her babies. A mosquito laden, picker weed field, filled with fleas and ticks, in the soon to be sweltering Georgia heat is not that place! Hopefully, $200-$300 might prove to be sufficient for her vet bill, but there will be food to consider. And as the kittens grow, they will need their vetting as well. We expect that this could be at least an ~ $8000 project. Possibly more, depending on illness discovered. But we’ll start with one foot in front of the other. And continue. One cat at a time. One full belly at a time. One life changed at a time. If you can help us help them, we would be endlessly grateful. And THEY will be grateful to know that someone has finally come along who cares about them. Sentient beings know what love is...even if they exist in fear. Love lives here… even in forgotten fields.🫂 There is more in my reply that is informative.

I’ve spent 2 hours combing through over 160 charts. Here are 40 stock charts you need to watch in the next 5 days! The market is still consolidating, but the tone shifted a bit last week. SPX failed to break out and closed near the weekly lows. QQQ and semiconductors weakened. Software is trying to stabilize, while earnings from names like $TSLA, $GOOGL, $IBM, and $INTC will likely determine where we go next. Here’s the watchlist and recording (audio cuts out after 20 min): $SPX: SPX attempted to break above both the weekly high and the upper trend line but couldn’t hold it. Buyers ran out of momentum and sellers stepped in, leaving us with a weekly close near the lows. While that’s a short-term negative, the bigger trend hasn’t broken. We’re still trading inside a two-month triangle after a strong advance. 7400 remains the key level I’m watching. Lose that and 7235 becomes a realistic target. Recover 7500 and the 50-day moving average, and I’d start looking for another push higher. $QQQ: Tech had one of the weaker weeks. QQQ is now below the 9, 20 and 50-day moving averages, and those averages are beginning to roll over, which is an early warning sign that momentum is fading. I’d keep a close eye on 685. If that level fails, the next meaningful support doesn’t come in until around 640. $IWM: Small caps continue holding above the 50-day moving average, which is constructive relative to QQQ, but the chart is still trapped inside a broad range. Until we reclaim 300, I don’t see a high-conviction setup here. $IGV: Software has cooled off after being one of the stronger groups a few weeks ago. The ETF remains below the 200-day moving average and continues to struggle there. Some individual software names still look attractive, but I’d like to see IGV reclaim 95-96 before becoming more aggressive. $SMH: Semiconductors spent another week under pressure but did manage to defend the 555 area on Friday. This group is sitting at a very important inflection point. If buyers can build on Friday’s bounce, we could start seeing leadership return. If not, this pullback could continue. $BTC: Bitcoin continues drifting sideways without much conviction. It’s holding the 58K-60K region, but there’s still no catalyst or technical confirmation suggesting buyers are ready to take control. For now, it’s simply range-bound. $AAPL: Apple continues to be one of the strongest charts in the market. Three straight weekly gains have brought it right back to all-time highs after fully recovering from the post-WWDC weakness. It has quietly become one of the market leaders again. Above 335, I’d look for continuation toward 350-360. $MSFT: Microsoft briefly reclaimed the 50-day moving average before giving it back. The chart isn’t broken, but it hasn’t shown the same relative strength as Apple or Meta. 400 remains the level I’d like to see recovered before getting more constructive. $GOOGL: Google remains below its key moving averages after the Gemini-related headlines earlier in the week. Friday was a better session relative to the market, but the chart still needs time to repair itself before offering a clean long setup. $META: Buyers stepped in exactly where they needed to, defending both the 200-day moving average and prior support. That reversal keeps the chart constructive despite the recent volatility. Above 650-652, I think Meta has a good chance of working back toward the highs. $TSLA: Tesla continues to be one of the weaker mega caps heading into earnings. The price action has been choppy, momentum is fading, and the chart lacks a clear trend. Below 368 could accelerate another leg lower. For now, I’d rather wait for earnings than force a trade. $AMZN: Amazon briefly reclaimed the 50-day moving average before giving the move back. It’s another chart that’s trying to stabilize but hasn’t earned my confidence yet. A sustained move back above the 50-day would improve the outlook. $NFLX: Netflix sold off after earnings and is now sitting at an important long-term support area around 70. That’s the level that matters. If buyers can reclaim 70, and especially 75-76, this quickly turns into an attractive failed-breakdown setup with room to recover. $NVDA: Friday looked ugly initially, but buyers defended both the psychological 200 level and the 200-day moving average. That’s exactly where you want institutions stepping in. Above 207, I’d look for a move toward 214-215, and only above there does a run back toward the highs become realistic. $BROS: Quietly building one of the cleaner bull flags on my watchlist. Friday’s strength was encouraging, and above 70 I think this one has room for another continuation move. $BE: After an incredible run, BE has finally started pulling back into support. This isn’t a chart I’d chase, but it’s one I’d monitor closely. If buyers defend 195, it could become another attractive continuation setup. $USO: Energy benefited from renewed geopolitical headlines and has started improving technically. A move above 125.85, along with reclaiming the 50-day moving average, would strengthen the bullish case. $NBIS: One of those AI names that can reverse very quickly once buyers return. Friday’s recovery was encouraging after several weak sessions. It remains firmly on my watchlist. $NET: Software hasn’t completely fallen apart, and NET continues to be one of the stronger names in the group. I’m watching 280-282 closely. If software finds its footing again, this is one of the first names I’d expect to move. $PANW: PANW continues holding up well despite broader market weakness and has respected support remarkably well. Earnings aren’t until August, leaving plenty of room for institutions to accumulate. Above 368, I’d expect momentum to build toward 400. $DELL: Dell continues holding its post-earnings gap extremely well despite weakness across AI infrastructure. That tells me institutions still want exposure. Above 410 would likely restart the uptrend. $LLY: Healthcare remains one of the stronger areas of the market, and Lilly continues showing leadership. Above 1200, I’d expect another leg higher as buyers continue rotating into defensive growth. $CRWD: CrowdStrike has done a great job holding above 200 despite the broader volatility. That’s constructive. Above 210, I’d look for buyers to regain momentum. $BAC: Earnings are behind it, removing one layer of uncertainty. As long as 60 holds, I think another breakout attempt remains very possible. $MU: Memory continues weakening after an exceptional run. Momentum has clearly faded. Below 800, I’d expect another wave of selling before buyers become interested again. $AMD: Despite the recent pullback in semiconductors, AMD continues to hold up better than many peers. The 500 area becomes an important decision point early in the week. $V: Visa printed an inside day after a healthy advance. Those often resolve with expansion. Watching 365 closely. $MA: Very similar setup to Visa. Healthy consolidation after a strong move higher. Worth watching if financials regain momentum. $SNDK: After an incredible run, the correction has been significant. The chart still needs time, but 1275-1300 becomes an important area to watch for signs that sellers are finally exhausting themselves. $ALAB: Another AI leader that’s finally cooling off after months of strength. Nothing wrong with the longer-term story, but technically it needs more time before becoming attractive again. $SPCX: SpaceX continues trading below its IPO price and has steadily deteriorated technically. August earnings become the next meaningful catalyst. Until then, I’d rather let the chart prove itself. $HOOD: Robinhood has now lost both 100 and the 200-day moving average. That’s meaningful technical damage. I’d wait for buyers to reclaim those levels before becoming interested again. $ISRG: One of the cleaner downside setups on my list. A break below Friday’s low around 345 could trigger another leg lower. Overall theme: Last week’s failed breakout shifted the short-term tone more cautious, but the bigger picture hasn’t changed. SPX remains inside a two-month consolidation, and earnings will likely determine whether we finally resolve higher or break lower. Semiconductors are trying to stabilize after a difficult stretch, software is mixed, and Wednesday becomes the biggest day of earnings season so far with reports from $TSLA, $GOOGL, $IBM, and $NOW, followed by $INTC on Thursday. $AAPL, $NVDA, $META, $PANW, $NET, $LLY, and $BROS are some of my favorite charts going into next week.

I’ve spent 2 hours combing through over 160 charts. Here are 40 stock charts you need to watch in the next 5 days! The market is still consolidating, but the tone shifted a bit last week. SPX failed to break out and closed near the weekly lows. QQQ and semiconductors weakened. Software is trying to stabilize, while earnings from names like $TSLA, $GOOGL, $IBM, and $INTC will likely determine where we go next. Here’s the watchlist and recording (audio cuts out after 20 min): $SPX: SPX attempted to break above both the weekly high and the upper trend line but couldn’t hold it. Buyers ran out of momentum and sellers stepped in, leaving us with a weekly close near the lows. While that’s a short-term negative, the bigger trend hasn’t broken. We’re still trading inside a two-month triangle after a strong advance. 7400 remains the key level I’m watching. Lose that and 7235 becomes a realistic target. Recover 7500 and the 50-day moving average, and I’d start looking for another push higher. $QQQ: Tech had one of the weaker weeks. QQQ is now below the 9, 20 and 50-day moving averages, and those averages are beginning to roll over, which is an early warning sign that momentum is fading. I’d keep a close eye on 685. If that level fails, the next meaningful support doesn’t come in until around 640. $IWM: Small caps continue holding above the 50-day moving average, which is constructive relative to QQQ, but the chart is still trapped inside a broad range. Until we reclaim 300, I don’t see a high-conviction setup here. $IGV: Software has cooled off after being one of the stronger groups a few weeks ago. The ETF remains below the 200-day moving average and continues to struggle there. Some individual software names still look attractive, but I’d like to see IGV reclaim 95-96 before becoming more aggressive. $SMH: Semiconductors spent another week under pressure but did manage to defend the 555 area on Friday. This group is sitting at a very important inflection point. If buyers can build on Friday’s bounce, we could start seeing leadership return. If not, this pullback could continue. $BTC: Bitcoin continues drifting sideways without much conviction. It’s holding the 58K-60K region, but there’s still no catalyst or technical confirmation suggesting buyers are ready to take control. For now, it’s simply range-bound. $AAPL: Apple continues to be one of the strongest charts in the market. Three straight weekly gains have brought it right back to all-time highs after fully recovering from the post-WWDC weakness. It has quietly become one of the market leaders again. Above 335, I’d look for continuation toward 350-360. $MSFT: Microsoft briefly reclaimed the 50-day moving average before giving it back. The chart isn’t broken, but it hasn’t shown the same relative strength as Apple or Meta. 400 remains the level I’d like to see recovered before getting more constructive. $GOOGL: Google remains below its key moving averages after the Gemini-related headlines earlier in the week. Friday was a better session relative to the market, but the chart still needs time to repair itself before offering a clean long setup. $META: Buyers stepped in exactly where they needed to, defending both the 200-day moving average and prior support. That reversal keeps the chart constructive despite the recent volatility. Above 650-652, I think Meta has a good chance of working back toward the highs. $TSLA: Tesla continues to be one of the weaker mega caps heading into earnings. The price action has been choppy, momentum is fading, and the chart lacks a clear trend. Below 368 could accelerate another leg lower. For now, I’d rather wait for earnings than force a trade. $AMZN: Amazon briefly reclaimed the 50-day moving average before giving the move back. It’s another chart that’s trying to stabilize but hasn’t earned my confidence yet. A sustained move back above the 50-day would improve the outlook. $NFLX: Netflix sold off after earnings and is now sitting at an important long-term support area around 70. That’s the level that matters. If buyers can reclaim 70, and especially 75-76, this quickly turns into an attractive failed-breakdown setup with room to recover. $NVDA: Friday looked ugly initially, but buyers defended both the psychological 200 level and the 200-day moving average. That’s exactly where you want institutions stepping in. Above 207, I’d look for a move toward 214-215, and only above there does a run back toward the highs become realistic. $BROS: Quietly building one of the cleaner bull flags on my watchlist. Friday’s strength was encouraging, and above 70 I think this one has room for another continuation move. $BE: After an incredible run, BE has finally started pulling back into support. This isn’t a chart I’d chase, but it’s one I’d monitor closely. If buyers defend 195, it could become another attractive continuation setup. $USO: Energy benefited from renewed geopolitical headlines and has started improving technically. A move above 125.85, along with reclaiming the 50-day moving average, would strengthen the bullish case. $NBIS: One of those AI names that can reverse very quickly once buyers return. Friday’s recovery was encouraging after several weak sessions. It remains firmly on my watchlist. $NET: Software hasn’t completely fallen apart, and NET continues to be one of the stronger names in the group. I’m watching 280-282 closely. If software finds its footing again, this is one of the first names I’d expect to move. $PANW: PANW continues holding up well despite broader market weakness and has respected support remarkably well. Earnings aren’t until August, leaving plenty of room for institutions to accumulate. Above 368, I’d expect momentum to build toward 400. $DELL: Dell continues holding its post-earnings gap extremely well despite weakness across AI infrastructure. That tells me institutions still want exposure. Above 410 would likely restart the uptrend. $LLY: Healthcare remains one of the stronger areas of the market, and Lilly continues showing leadership. Above 1200, I’d expect another leg higher as buyers continue rotating into defensive growth. $CRWD: CrowdStrike has done a great job holding above 200 despite the broader volatility. That’s constructive. Above 210, I’d look for buyers to regain momentum. $BAC: Earnings are behind it, removing one layer of uncertainty. As long as 60 holds, I think another breakout attempt remains very possible. $MU: Memory continues weakening after an exceptional run. Momentum has clearly faded. Below 800, I’d expect another wave of selling before buyers become interested again. $AMD: Despite the recent pullback in semiconductors, AMD continues to hold up better than many peers. The 500 area becomes an important decision point early in the week. $V: Visa printed an inside day after a healthy advance. Those often resolve with expansion. Watching 365 closely. $MA: Very similar setup to Visa. Healthy consolidation after a strong move higher. Worth watching if financials regain momentum. $SNDK: After an incredible run, the correction has been significant. The chart still needs time, but 1275-1300 becomes an important area to watch for signs that sellers are finally exhausting themselves. $ALAB: Another AI leader that’s finally cooling off after months of strength.

August earnings become the next meaningful catalyst. Until then, I’d rather let the chart prove itself. $HOOD: Robinhood has now lost both 100 and the 200-day moving average. That’s meaningful technical damage. I’d wait for buyers to reclaim those levels before becoming interested again. $ISRG: One of the cleaner downside setups on my list.

A 1988 Chicago Trading Pit documentary accidentally described the exact reason 90 percent of modern retail traders will never stop until they blow up. The film was shot in the peak years of open outcry, back when trading meant shouting yourself hoarse in a physical pit, taking speech therapy at Schwab Rehabilitation Center, and sometimes ending up in the medic's chair with a busted lip from a fistfight over a trade. At 16:34 in the film above, one trader said this. "When I first started I heard stories of other traders making 50 or 100 thousand a day. I said if I made that kind of money I would quit. I would take the summer off. When I had my first five-figure day, ten thousand plus, I found myself in the pit the next day." He made his summer's worth of money in one session. He came back the next morning. Every retail trader today who says "if I just double my account I'll cash out" is that trader. Every day-trader who promised themselves they would quit after their first six-figure year is that trader. Every options gambler who tells their spouse "one more good week and I stop" is that trader. The 1988 documentary called it the game. The people who stayed in it called it being a gladiator. The paramedics on duty at the exchange called it a job. Modern brokers call it engagement. Every Robinhood push notification is designed to reproduce the pit floor without the paramedics. That single confession from a Chicago pit trader in 1988 has probably explained the last four decades of retail blowups better than every behavioral finance textbook combined. Retail traders build spreadsheets tracking P&L in real time because they cannot look away from the score. Options traders open the app on the toilet because the pit is now in their pocket. Prop shop hires get told the money is what matters when the actual driver is the same dopamine that trapped the 1988 gladiator. The full 19-minute documentary is above. Almost none of the viewers have actually asked themselves what number would make them walk. The framework is free. The willingness to actually name the number that ends the game before you get there is the entire edge.

🚨🎥 Full post-match interview with Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire after the 5-2 victory over Ipswich Town! 🔴🔥 • Reaction after the disappointing opening game! • Regaining control and showing courage in the second half! • Bruno’s third hat-trick at Old Trafford! 🎩 🎙️ Interviewer: “Congratulations on the win. It looks like a very big victory and your first of the season. How are you feeling?” 🗣️ Bruno Fernandes: “It was definitely a very important and big win for us. We knew we had dropped three points last week, so the aim was to get the three points and put in a great performance for our fans at home in our first game here for a long time. We can’t make up for last week because you can’t get six points from one game, but we wanted to start the game on the front foot and with intensity. We controlled the game even when we conceded, and in the second half we were really excellent.” 🎙️ Interviewer: “The game felt like a real statement of the team’s strength. Harry, what did the team do particularly well?” 🗣️ Harry Maguire: “I think we started the game really well, but their goal unsettled us a lot. Last week’s defeat was difficult, and when you lose at this club, there’s a lot of noise and it feels like you’re in a crisis again after just one game! After conceding, we lost control for five to ten minutes, but we spoke at half-time, came out and took control again. We know we’re capable of scoring at any moment, and we showed that today. We could have scored even more goals.” 🎙️ Interviewer: “Bruno, how important was your equaliser right before half-time in maintaining that belief?” 🗣️ Bruno Fernandes: “Scoring before half-time is always important, whether it’s to take the lead or to equalise, because it gives you the belief that what you were doing wasn’t completely wrong. As Harry said, we were controlling the game and lost control for five to ten minutes after the goal, but we got back on track. In the second half, after making a few adjustments, we were really excellent.” 🎙️ Interviewer: “Harry, you were involved in the second goal, and there was some debate over whether it was your goal or a handball. What do you think happened?” 🗣️ Harry Maguire: “To be honest, I haven’t watched the replay, so I can’t comment accurately. I know it was a close call, and it certainly wasn’t an intentional handball. I don’t know if the ball actually hit my fingers. My shot was slightly off target, so I think it will unfortunately be given as an own goal! Maybe that’s why it was awarded, because if it had been my goal, they would have ruled it out under the current rules. Luckily, luck was on our side today, and we deserved the win and deserved that bit of fortune.” 🎙️ Interviewer: “Bruno, this is your third hat-trick in a Manchester United shirt. How amazing does it feel?” 🗣️ Bruno Fernandes: “Scoring goals is definitely the best feeling in football, and scoring a hat-trick at Old Trafford in front of our fans is incredible. I’m very proud of it. But the most important thing is always to score to help the team win. I did that today, and hopefully I can score more and help my teammates score as well.” 🎙️ Interviewer: “How important is a result like this as a response to what happened on the opening day?” 🗣️ Harry Maguire: “It’s a very important win. Last week was frustrating; we had prepared throughout pre-season to win against Hull City, but unfortunately we conceded two goals from set pieces and lost. We knew how important today’s game was in front of our fans after being away from Old Trafford for such a long time, and luckily we got the three points. In the end, it’s three points and we move forward. The season is long, and we’ll focus on the next game.” 🎙️ Interviewer: “Harry, would you like to present the award? Bruno is the Player of the Match.” 🗣️ Harry Maguire (jokingly handing over the award): “Another award!” 🏆😅 🗣️ Bruno Fernandes: “Thank you very much, mate.” 🤝❤️

The Democrat Treasurer Allegedly Ripped Off an Old Lady. The Media Ignored the Scandal by Charlie LeDuff Charlie LeDuff Traci Kornak, the former treasurer of the Michigan Democratic Party, was hauled into probate court this week, suspected of embezzling from her ward, a brain-damaged elderly woman. I caught Kornak feasting on the woman’s finances nearly four years ago and have written many stories about it since. I’ve made TV appearances. I even lost my newspaper job over it. After my first story was published, Attorney General Dana Nessel, a close friend of Kornak, opened a superficial investigation that was no investigation at all. Her detectives made a few cursory phone calls before Nessel prodded them into shutting down the criminal case. And Kornak, it is alleged, continued to suck the old woman dry. At least that is what a special fiduciary attorney, Morgan Maul, believes. Using phrases like “significant discrepancies” and “missing assets” and “concerns about charges,” Maul asked Jolene Clearwater, the chief probate judge of Allegan County, for a six-month extension of his investigation into Kornak’s decade-long conservatorship over the woman’s finances. The old woman died last April, and now the judge wants to know what happened to her money. Her condominium? Her insurance settlement from the car accident? Her trust? Her estate plan? Who made debit card purchases on the day of her death? Not only did Clearwater agree to Maul’s request, she also ruled that Kornak—a slip-and-fall attorney by trade—must pay for Maul’s time. Kornak, for her part, said nothing in defense of herself. What began as a story about a simple insurance scam perpetrated by Kornak in the name of the old woman has morphed into a scandal implicating Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and threatening the impeachment of Dana Nessel. Kornak was a suspected embezzler, and Whitmer and Nessel knew about the allegations. Nevertheless, they allowed her to continue in her political position as treasurer of the state Democratic Party. In fact, Whitmer was planning to appoint Kornak to a judgeship as soon as the criminal investigation went away. But Kornak was never given a judicial robe, because I would not let the story die. After Nessel complained about a column I published in the Detroit News chronicling her unethical interference in the Kornak investigation, I replied to her on social media with the phrase “See You Next Tuesday”—a euphemism for female genitalia. My pearl-clutching colleagues at the News feigned outrage, tarred me as a misogynist, and I was forced to resign. Professional jealousy is an ugly thing. Not another word was written in the paper about the scandal, and I canceled my subscription. But I kept publishing. First online, and now with Michigan Enjoyer. And so here we are. Tuesday has arrived. The Kent County Sheriff’s Office has completed its own two-year investigation into Kornak’s stewardship of the old woman’s financial affairs. Among its recommendations are charges of felony embezzlement, which carries a 20-year prison term. That report now sits on the desk of Chris Becker, the Kent County prosecutor, who is considering charges. Most nauseating about this whole affair—beyond the alleged abuse of an elder who could not fend for herself —is that those in power knew all along. I called them. I shouted questions at them. I mocked them online, in print, and on TV. Who are THEY? THEY are those who were in a position to protect the old woman. The governor. The attorney general. The Democratic Party brass. The Attorney Grievance Commission. The Probate Court. The Media. THEY only proved themselves to be what THEY accused me of being—misogynists, abusers of women. Worse, THEY proved themselves to be cowards. There is a light in this dark story. Enjoyer has learned that the FBI has begun making inquiries into the sordid affair. If justice can prevail, then things might be better for the next old lady.

I’m on a plane back from a week in Los Angeles and some lessons there shocked me. I met w/ a billionaire, Bryan Johnson, a top 10 podcaster, an A24 movie exec, and a Presidential candidate. 12 learnings from too many meetings to count in Hollywood: 1. LA is not dead. Far from it. I ran into 5 people who I needed to meet with at one hotel in 4 days. The epicenter of media may be disaggregating to Austin, NY and globally... but the density is still here. 2. Bryan Johnson is now one of my favorite humans. I hung with him at his house, tried his 20,000 crunches in 30 minutes machine, and talked about the purpose of life. The internet is a sad state that they don’t give him more credit. 3. Digital media today is like distributed news before cable news. We are at a tipping point for expansion in this digital industry. It feels somehow played out to those of us in it, but it’s just starting. 4. Hollywood is watching creators and UGC closely. I met w/ one exec who said in the not so distant future Netflix will have UGC on it. 5. may be this generation's Anthony Bourdain for thinking. I sat down with him and I think the work he’s doing on youtube is going to be something to watch... closely. 6. Buying boring businesses is not at all interesting to those in LA. BUT - asset accumulation and portfolios are. They buy assets (film rights, etc) all day. They are starting to think about the business of celebrities, creators and their work similar to how I think of investment management. 7. LA is a tale of two cities. I spoke at the convention center that was surrounded by derelict minority businesses and houses, then hung out at private members-only clubs that are all over West Hollywood where Lebron, Chris Voss and all the big timers play. The two places are 10 minutes away but an absolute world apart. 8. The mental health and drug crisis is out of control. Stroll along a downtown street and zombie after zombie trails. I saw people shitting and eating next to one another and across from a Starbucks. I asked our corporate host if this was “normal?” They replied, you stop noticing it after awhile. 9. Offices are completely empty. A friend got an office space for 50% off and more than 40% of the highrise is unoccupied. How odd that home prices are high, housing is really tough to come by, but office space is a blue ocean. 10. Met up with Tulsi Gabbard 🌺, a friend who was traveling to the border to see the situation live. I am grateful to have people fight for the truth even when it is unpopular.

I’m on a plane back from a week in Los Angeles and some lessons there shocked me. I met w/ a billionaire, Bryan Johnson, a top 10 podcaster, an A24 movie exec, and a Presidential candidate. 12 learnings from too many meetings to count in Hollywood: 1. LA is not dead. Far from it. I ran into 5 people who I needed to meet with at one hotel in 4 days. The epicenter of media may be disaggregating to Austin, NY and globally... but the density is still here. 2. Bryan Johnson is now one of my favorite humans. I hung with him at his house, tried his 20,000 crunches in 30 minutes machine, and talked about the purpose of life. The internet is a sad state that they don’t give him more credit. 3. Digital media today is like distributed news before cable news. We are at a tipping point for expansion in this digital industry. It feels somehow played out to those of us in it, but it’s just starting. 4. Hollywood is watching creators and UGC closely. I met w/ one exec who said in the not so distant future Netflix will have UGC on it. 5. may be this generation's Anthony Bourdain for thinking. I sat down with him and I think the work he’s doing on youtube is going to be something to watch... closely. 6. Buying boring businesses is not at all interesting to those in LA. BUT - asset accumulation and portfolios are. They buy assets (film rights, etc) all day. They are starting to think about the business of celebrities, creators and their work similar to how I think of investment management. 7. LA is a tale of two cities. I spoke at the convention center that was surrounded by derelict minority businesses and houses, then hung out at private members-only clubs that are all over West Hollywood where Lebron, Chris Voss and all the big timers play. The two places are 10 minutes away but an absolute world apart. 8. The mental health and drug crisis is out of control. Stroll along a downtown street and zombie after zombie trails. I saw people shitting and eating next to one another and across from a Starbucks. I asked our corporate host if this was “normal?” They replied, you stop noticing it after awhile. 9. Offices are completely empty. A friend got an office space for 50% off and more than 40% of the highrise is unoccupied. How odd that home prices are high, housing is really tough to come by, but office space is a blue ocean. 10. Met up with Tulsi Gabbard 🌺, a friend who was traveling to the border to see the situation live. I am grateful to have people fight for the truth even when it is unpopular. We need more leaders like her. 11. Every time I meet with a billionaire I realize all over again that to achieve that level of wealth, you cannot be normal. Truly. He’s weirdly comfortable with discomfort and complete lack of people pleasing. 12. The more I learn about the Kardashians in some ways, the more I respect them.

Zack Polanski, "Today I was in Oxfordshire, standing in the aftermath of the devastation caused by a wildfire. Trees reduced to charcoal, cars turned to burnt out wrecks. The smell of smoke still lingering in the air on the site of what was once a thriving local business now reduced to ash." "Wildfires, literal scorched earth and a looming sense. And I really want everyone to hear this. This is only just the beginning. And today, as temperatures fall at the end of yet another extreme heat alert, we know that if it rains now, the soil being baked dry means it's much more likely to flood." "These days feel exceptional. But what we are living through right now are likely some of the least extreme summer temperatures we'll experience in our lifetimes. Today I am sounding the alarm and I'm laying out a plan." "Because last week, while a wildfire the size of 200 football pitches was raging across Suffolk, I called on, Prime Minister Burnham to act urgently to address the crisis. I suggested a COBRA meeting being the very least he could do." "And six days later, with another heat alert just having ended, we have still heard next to nothing from the very top of government. No emergency briefings, no new plan and precious little detail about how this government will protect people from the crisis." "It is putting lives and livelihoods at risk across the entire uk. So today I'm delivering a reality cheque. We are facing the biggest threat to this country since the Second World War." "I'm setting out what Prime Minister Burnham can do now to tackle the crisis and I am challenging him to act with the urgency we need. You will hear today from those on the front line of this crisis and they will lay out what they have dealt with in the past few weeks." "And to them, on behalf of the entire country, I want to say thank you. Extreme weather is now the new normal and without action, the impact on the people of this country will be unimaginably grave." "The threats we face are three hold first, the threat to the safety of the population. Almost 3,000 people have died from the effects of extreme heat this summer. And we know that older people and those with pre existing conditions are particularly at risk from these dangerous temperatures." "Those are the people who have been forced to stay at home for days on end, windows, curtains closed, trying to wait out the extreme heat. And these are the people who are most likely now to have grieving families whose bodies were under such intense strain and trying just to stay cool that their kidneys and their hearts could no longer cope." "Meanwhile, wildfires have seen hundreds evacuated from their homes, while many thousands more wait anxiously with Flames on the horizon and smoke in their lungs. We've seen across Europe how bad things can get." "Hundreds of thousands evacuated, half a million acres burned. The sheer scale of the devastation is hard to comprehend, but we need to look it in the face, because this is only a taster of what's to come if we don't act now." "Second, we face a threat to our food and water security. Farmers are now warning we could see food shortages after flooding followed by drought has decimated crops. And despite farmers working really hard through the nights to avoid the heat, food production is grinding to a halt and our food prices are set to rise." "Half of England is experiencing serious drought. And across the country, 8 of our water reservoirs are at risk of running dry. Privatised water companies they've failed to build a single new reservoir to since 1992, are, losing nearly 3 billion litres of water a day from leaky pipes." "That's five times more than a nationwide host pipe ban would even save. The threat is so severe that the UK's National Risk Register warns that if we have three years of exceptionally dry weather like this, we could face water rationing." "These aren't distant possibilities, they're very real scenarios and they are coming straight at us down the track because finally, we face a threat to our very way of life. Parents unable to take their children to the playground because the slides are so hot it could burn, their skin off." "Temperatures so high they keep us inside for days for the sake of our health. Cities feeling like ghost towns, parks turned into deserts. We only have to look across the Channel to France and Spain to see what faces us in the years ahead." "Europe is heating at, twice the rate of the rest of the world. Wildfires, droughts, deadly floods. The scenes we have seen play out on our TV screens are, frankly apocalyptic. And yet the response from our government is to pretend none of this is happening." "It is an astonishing dereliction of duty from those whose very first responsibility is to keep all of us safe, and from the media. With some brilliant and notable exceptions, we have seen more clamouring for North Sea drilling in the last few weeks than actually raising the alarm on climate breakdown." "While our country has come together, people have offered shelter to those who have had to leave their homes due to wildfires. They've checked in with older neighbours to care for those who are sick because of the heat. But the government. The government have been far, far too quiet on what is an emergency." "So today you will hear from some of those on the front line of this crisis and Those with vital insights into how we face this threat. A doctor, a firefighter, someone who served this country in the armed forces, and someone who has dedicated his entire career to our precious nature and wildlife." "It's experts like these that this government should be bringing to the table to design a full scale emergency response. So I want to step out from this big picture and look at some of the urgent steps that Prime Minister Burnham needs to urgently announce to protect people right now and keep us safe from what we know is coming down the track." "In the immediate term, we need to keep people safe from extreme temperatures. That means a free accessible cool space in every local area. And financial support for households so they can heat proof their homes. Second, we need a robust wildfire prevention strategy." "A fire service with the resources it needs to tackle blazes when they come. And that must include firefighting helicopters when needed. And not again ever seeing the shocking sight of requiring a charity to step in to contract a private firm to help fight fires." "And this should all be funded by taxing the fossil fuel giants who are profiting from fueling these infernos. And finally, to secure our water supply, prevent droughts and protect our food system, we need to bring water back into public hands." "Right now, money is flowing out of our hands into the pockets of shareholders, just like water is flowing out of those companies leaky pipes in the middle of a drought. Every single penny households pay for their water needs to go back into strengthening our infrastructure, building new reservoirs and protecting us from the droughts of the future." "We know that these extreme temperatures, these deadly wildfires, are being driven by the burning of fossil fuels. The sad reality is decades of inaction of politicians allowing fossil fuel companies to profit from pumping out deadly emissions have guaranteed the extreme weather we are seeing right now." "And we will see for the rest of our lifetimes. But there is still time to stop total breakdown. So let me speak directly to the Prime Minister. If we are to secure a livable future for our children and for our grandchildren, there can be no new drilling for oil and gas." "On this, the, the science is crystal clear. As politicians, we have a moral responsibility to do what is right for the people we serve, even when it's not politically convenient. And I know that whatever our differences, we both care deeply about the people of this country and the future of our planet." "So when the time comes, I hope you will have the courage to be truthful, be brave and hold firm to your party's commitment to no new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea, including both Rosebank and, Jackdaw." "Now, some will say we can't afford to make these changes. These last few weeks are showing we can't afford not to. We are facing an existential threat. People are dying. People are scared." "It is time to act. And when we do, we won't just avoid the worst effects of climate breakdown. We will lower bills permanently, help our communities thrive, and give a grounded sense of hope for generations to come."

I’m on a mission to stop men from black-pilling on the idea that marriage, kids, grandkids, and a wife over 40 or 50 means a low-sex or sexless life with a wife they no longer find attractive. That’s becoming the norm in far too many marriages that last long enough to reach their 40s and beyond. It’s driving men away from marriage while lulling women into thinking the norm is acceptable - even as it harms marriage as a whole. I’m not dumping the whole job of keeping a 40+ marriage sexy on wives. Husbands have a responsibility too which includes expecting, investing, and enabling their wives to successfully respond to those expectations. Toward that end, last year I set an ambitious goal for my 52-year-old wife - mother of our three kids and grandmother to our one grandchild so far - to get back on the NPC stage after more than a decade away from it and win her IFBB pro card in Fit Model. I invested heavily in that goal and with the coach we hired, we built a 3-show plan for this summer. The first two shows were to qualify for nationals (where pro cards are won) and get her comfortable on stage again. After a year-plus of work getting herself stage ready she won 1st in her 50+ class in Vegas in July, 1st again in Nashville in August, then competed in Pittsburgh about a week ago - the show where winning the class could earn the pro card. We left home a week before Nashville and stayed on the road through Pittsburgh - 5 weeks of strange hotel and Airbnb beds, strange gyms, and strange kitchens to cook in to stay on plan. It took a bit of a toll. Avis’s back started acting up after Nashville. She’s had “tweaky” back issues on and off for decades, so it wasn’t a total surprise. In Pittsburgh we got her massages and she used the foam roller with some success. But show morning it flared up again. She was dealing with some pain and struggled some in her posing - hitting poses cleanly and holding a smile is part of the judging, not just the physique alone. If you watch the video of her routine that morning you can see it in compared to previous shows. That’s not an excuse - just a reality and every woman who walked out there was fighting something. After the 50+ A Fit Model routines, the women line up on either side of the stage while judges pick the top 6 for first callouts. If you miss first callouts your shot at the win is over. Judges then move them around - front, rear, side by side - usually ending with 1st in the center. That is the comparison video I shared. At the end of first callouts I couldn’t tell if they had Avis 2nd, 3rd, or 4th because of the even number of girls in the callout. At finals we learned it was 3rd. 3rd is nothing to be ashamed of at a national show against what is supposed to be the best of the best - but the reality was not placing 1st meant missing the pro card. We have a new plan and a couple of new targets - later this year or next year, depending on how it plays out. Looping back to my main point - every woman on stage in the videos I shared is over 50. How far over I don’t know. The one I’m married to is 52. I’m not saying every husband has to go this far in expectation or investment to have a marriage they enjoy. I am saying it is possible to have a decades-long marriage that does not become a dead bedroom with a wife who stopped prioritizing fitness. Don’t black-pill. Set the expectations that would actually be good for your marriage and invest enough to see them through. Wives - respond in good faith with the resources your husband is giving you. He has expectations because he wants a marriage both of you enjoy. -R
