$NDX from the 2000 Tech bubble

These countertrend rallies are head to believe in hindsight:

52% in 47 days (Q2 2001)
59% in 75 days (Q4 2001)
45% in 53 days (Q3/Q4 2002)

@jamierkennedy Hate to say it but ten years ago they looked athletic and now tour players look like real athletes (like Tiger back when he beat everyone 01-03). In the 99 Ryder cup half the guys had their tits bouncing up and down the fairway. Some of it is equipment most of it is evolution

[Gerald Garner @CampHopeMVP]

@jbulltard1 @lehranbrothers I sold around 50 when the war that hardly moved mkts broke out.

Been buying back and scalping options. Proudest trade recently is buying from 99-105 earlier this month. Swallowed my pride executed and up 35%+ in a few weeks

[Gerald Garner @CampHopeMVP]

@Top100Rick Yes they need to enforce the rules. Young golfers are following their lead and taking forever now. They’re paying. Not getting paid and it’s pretentious and selfish. It needs to stop. Why should fast players like brooks and DJ get essentially “mentally” penalized by rule breakers

[Gerald Garner @CampHopeMVP]

@Remzztrades It’s traded in 8-15% daily ranges for weeks. To be expected at this point

[Gerald Garner @CampHopeMVP]

@calvinfroedge ~5% of the float is trading. Setting up for the exit of a lifetime.

Think it becomes the best ever “stock picker mkt” Q4 w many not liking forced indexation and speculation post ipo

@TourSwingsTommy Dynamic loft = compression

[Gerald Garner @CampHopeMVP]

@TourSwingsTommy Comments are crazy. You create compression through any variety of factors mostly lag through rotation and lateral shift and all shaft dependent. Initial setup is likely to counteract the negatives in his swing. Watch him grip/regrip repeatedly like Sergio. He’s a headcase rn

[Gerald Garner @CampHopeMVP]

@LouStagner Such a different form of golf. I don’t enjoy playing courses like this at all honestly. We’re amateurs. It’s our day off. I want to see ability to hit a shot not a chess match strategy with wind slope and blind lightning fast greens.

Great to watch pros navigate this though!

[Gerald Garner @CampHopeMVP]

@DanielSLoeb1 @hkuppy One of the best interviewers too. @patrick_oshag

[Gerald Garner @CampHopeMVP]

@calvinfroedge The usg tried a real economy after liberation day and it lasted for less than a week. This is what seems to be most important from then on. They can’t take the pain. “It’s main street’s turn”. 😂 biggest bs since covid, “no new wars”, no taxes, etc

This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America.

A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact.

It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy:

56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases.

More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide.

343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information.

That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison.

The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once:

The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry.

Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate.

Now look at the individual leaderboard:

- Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100
- Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800+ different tickers
- Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late
- Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade

And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked.

She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO.

The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine.

The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero.

And the cruelest part is this:

A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed.

But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is.

They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing.

The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.

[Brent aka Blacklion @BlacklionCTA]

Hardest things I’ve ever attempted/done from hardest to less:
- Trade for a living/rent
- Run a family member’s money
- Run other people’s money
- Land an F-14 on a carrier at night after a cockpit fire
- Fly 76 missions over Iraq
There are others, but you get the idea.

US ENERGY EXECUTIVES WARNED THE WHITE HOUSE THAT OIL RESERVES BEING USED TO HELP CONTAIN THE IMPACT OF THE IRAN CONFLICT ON ENERGY PRICES ARE RUNNING DANGEROUSLY LOW, ACCORDING TO CNN.

@Saint_Mikal_13 @KFCBarstool Past 10 years? LeBron would be on the floor crying like he broke his spine

[Gerald Garner @CampHopeMVP]

@TourSwingsTommy I think a lot of these like Duval were about the mental anguish of struggling within .1% of what it takes to get there for years. Once they got there, they tried to sustain it, then realize the relief it could be to focus on life having achieved their dream after the sacrifices

[Gerald Garner @CampHopeMVP]

@GareDaBearest @DuBoseDefense Trust fund kid that drops N bombs doesn’t get why 99% of pre covid golfers want to shrink the game.

T1000s near me have 3+ year waiting lists for membership to get away from the golf bros that watch YouTube influenzas and can’t break 90

[Gerald Garner @CampHopeMVP]

@BigRon48072608 @Rob_Sisson @bdomenech Giving it up in my twenties and coming back 8 years later made it so fun though. I had a 15yr upgrade w equipment and it felt like cheating coming back in better shape after Covid. Honeymoon is long over now and the game is elusive as usual. Always fun to chase your personal best

@MidwestGolfJake Play more 2v2 matches where you don’t know what your shooting because you’re focused on where you are in the match
