So that we may no longer be... tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
You can hate Trump and still see this is a real reset.
That shouldn’t be a controversial sentence, but people are too blinded by politics to talk straight.
Maybe this works. Maybe it blows up.
But the old path was broken too, and that part gets ignored because people would rather scream than think.
Debt was getting worse. Trade was a joke. The border was a joke. America looked less like a superpower and more like a country slowly losing control.
So yeah, this is interesting.
Not because you have to love the man.
Because something big is actually being tried.
If it works, it likely means better trade positioning, tighter borders, more leverage overseas, more control around energy and shipping, and less room for other countries to keep pushing around a soft America.
That could help growth. Could help confidence. Could help the dollar over time. Could help America act like the power it still is.
Or it could fail badly.
But this is the part people need to grow up about:
It’s happening.
So the conversation cannot just be endless emotional warfare. It should be what this changes, where it helps, where it hurts, and what happens next.
In my January Newsletter I called for $OIL longs, and the war in #IRAN. I didn't expect oil to go *this high though. If things get truly insane, levels at $148 then $180~ are possible in a blowoff. *Once oil rolls over, stocks will bottom*
@WLinvestment@TechDev_52 LMAO... I just spent 10 min trying to understand this post before I saw your reply. Thanks for saving my sanity and account. 👍
@JesseOlson Looks like hidden bullish divergence..? But on its face, crossover below midline...
Guess it doesn't really matter... gotta trade your setup... Whatever it is...
@CryptoSays Not exactly sure what's being said here... but a beautifully simple chart . I admire very much, anyone who uses Ichimoku. 👌👌 I don't get it, but love it when other people do.
@JesseOlson I like Bill Ackman's line of thinking here... bottom will be in sooner than later, in my humble (and always wrong) opinion.

One would have to imagine that President @realDonaldTrump’s phone has been ringing off the hook. The practical reality is that there is insufficient time for him to make deals before the tariffs are scheduled to take effect.
I would therefore not be surprised to wake up Monday with an announcement from the President that he was postponing the implementation of the tariffs to give him time to make deals.
President Trump has gotten the world’s and our trading partners’ attention and elevated the importance of resolving an unfair tariff regime that has harmed American workers and decimated our industrial base over many decades.
This is a critically important issue that needs to be resolved, and we finally have a president committed to getting this done.
The problem, however, can’t be resolved in days, so why wouldn’t a pause make sense to give the president time to properly resolve this critical issue and to allow companies large and small the time to prepare for changes in their supply chains?
The risk of not doing so is that the massive increase in uncertainty drives the economy into a recession, potentially a severe one.
One thing is for sure. Monday will be one of the more interesting days in our country’s economic history.
"God Said No... but
I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No. It is not for me to take away,
but for you to give it up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned..
I asked God to give me happiness..
God said, No. I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No. You must grow on your own,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked God for all things
that I might enjoy life. God said, No. I will give you life,
so that you may enjoy all things.
I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. God said... Ahhhh, finally, you have the idea..."
