Trump said: “When I’m gone, you’re all going to be broke.”

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

Trump said: “When I’m gone, you’re all going to be broke.” Truer words have never been spoken. He has plundered, robbed and bilked the whole country for himself and his family. That’s what disgorgement is all about. Disgorgement—please practice this very fine word.

"China is expanding its financial options and reducing dependence on the dollar-centered system." ❗💰❗

[Justin Banks @RealJGBanks]

BREAKING: CHINA JUST SENT A HUGE WARNING TO U.S. STOCK INVESTORS

If you own AI stocks, this is a MUST READ.

After 14 years of trading, here’s what I want you to understand before you buy another dip.

China has been reducing its U.S. Treasury holdings while adding gold.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong began testing a government-backed gold clearing system in July.

The bigger picture:

China is expanding its financial options and reducing dependence on the dollar-centered system.

Here’s how that connects to YOUR portfolio.

AMERICA BORROWS BY SELLING TREASURIES.

When China reduces its holdings, other buyers need to absorb that supply.

If demand falls short, bond prices can fall and yields can rise to attract buyers.

Higher yields can raise borrowing costs and put pressure on stock valuations.

China doesn’t control American interest rates. Other buyers, inflation, and Fed policy matter.

But demand for U.S. debt is part of the equation.

GOLD CHANGES WHAT CHINA DEPENDS ON.

Treasuries are a promise from the U.S. government to repay.

Physical gold held domestically doesn’t depend on a foreign government making that payment.

Adding gold diversifies those reserves.

Building gold trading and settlement infrastructure expands China’s financial options.

That’s a long-term shift—not proof the dollar is about to collapse.

YOUR AI COMPANY CAN GROW WHILE YOUR STOCK FALLS.

“The company keeps delivering. Why am I still losing money?”

Because business growth is only half the equation.

The other half is what investors will PAY for that growth.

Higher yields give investors more attractive interest-paying alternatives.

They also reduce the value today of profits expected years into the future.

That can hit expensive AI and growth stocks especially hard.

You can be right about the next 10 YEARS and still overpay today.

And a stock falling 40% doesn’t automatically make it cheap.

WATCH WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

The combination I’m watching closely:

GROWTH STOCKS FALLING WHILE TREASURY YIELDS RISE.

Then I check whether the weakness is spreading:

$SMH: Are chip stocks stabilizing or leading lower?

$QQQ: Are major growth companies holding support?

$HYG: Is corporate credit weakening too?

Weak stocks alongside weakening credit would raise my concern beyond an ordinary sector pullback.

Then I bring it back to execution:

Daily 8/21 bearish cross: trend weakening.

Support breaks.
Price bounces back.
Former support becomes resistance.
Retest rejects: potential bearish setup.

Price reclaims the zone: reassess.

For a recovery, I want reclaimed levels to HOLD and more stocks participating.

China’s reserve decisions aren’t a precise crash signal.

But the connection between Treasury demand, yields, and your stocks deserves attention—especially when your positions are already under pressure.

Follow me through this selloff.

I’ll share the levels I’m watching, where bounces fail, and what needs to change before I trust the recovery.

[The Macro Paper @macropaperr]

🚨 WALL STREET'S BIGGEST HEDGE FUNDS ARE POSITIONING FOR A MASSIVE STOCK MARKET CRASH.

Goldman Sachs data shows Wall Street's biggest funds are aggressively betting against stocks as fears of a much deeper market crash grow.

The numbers show just how bearish these funds have become.

• Short selling has outpaced long buying by nearly 5 to 1 this month.

• Short leverage has reached the 99th percentile of the past five years.

• Global hedge funds lost 2.9% in one week, while Asia-focused funds plunged 6.8% in the first half of October.

After weeks of heavy selling, hedge funds are still increasing their bets against the market.

With so much money positioned for further declines, even a sudden rebound could trigger a brutal short squeeze and leave major funds facing heavy losses.

But why are some of Wall Street's biggest funds betting so heavily against stocks?

Are they expecting something much worse that the rest of the market hasn't priced in yet?

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

When President Trump says we need to find a compromise – we live with this. A ceasefire and sitting down at the negotiating table – it is a huge compromise.

Nobody can step into the shoes of all these people whose children were tortured. And you can't force people to forgive. How can you force them when their child was tortured? How do you forgive? It's impossible. I desperately want justice. I just really want. I know so many people had their hearts ripped out, and there won't be a new heart.

That's why we say a ceasefire is the only step, because people’s hatred isn't going anywhere. It takes time and justice. And that's why it's a huge compromise. I've tried many times to tell the President of the United States: understand us. This is a huge compromise just to hold the lines where we are. Trump can bring Putin to the negotiating table very easily. The way President Trump talks about me, he needs to adopt that kind of rhetoric about Putin.

$SPY $QQQ $IWM I continue to believe we are still HERE. Yesterdays sell-off lines up with extreme fear readings, and AI is widely expected to drive major economic transformation.

AI is broadly viewed as a transformative force that can reshape productivity, innovation, and industry structure more widely and potentially faster than prior waves like the internet.

A Bain & Co. analysis projects it could put ~$4.7 trillion in profits “at stake” across a large majority of sectors by the mid-2030s.

Near-term friction is real. Massive AI infrastructure/capex is underway. Extreme fear readings and a sharp tech pullback do not invalidate the multi-year AI thesis, they reflect the market’s sensitivity to near-term proof of returns amid high valuations and macro noise.

After this steep pullback and extreme fear reading, could this be a shake-out that sets up the next leg higher, or are we still early in a larger correction?

TOM LEE SAYS THE AI BUBBLE PEAK IS PROBABLY AROUND 2033

@fundstrat thinks the current AI cycle is still far from its eventual peak:

- He compares today to 1997, noting Cisco fell 50% twice between 1993 and 2000 before the dot-com peak
- Wireless followed an S-curve that grew exponentially for roughly 25 years
- If AI follows a similar 25-year cycle, Lee thinks the eventual bubble peak could come around 2033
