[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran says if the US attacks again, it would withdraw from the Non-Proliferation Treaty, completely change its nuclear doctrine, and fully close both the Bab el-Mandeb and Strait of Hormuz, per an Iranian Parliament National Security Commission spokesperson.

The spokesperson says a parliamentary plan for Iran’s full NPT withdrawal is already ready for review.

He also says Iran now has several options it did not use during the recent 40-day war.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran says it will fully close the Strait of Hormuz to all maritime traffic as soon as the US attacks again and has now adopted a new military and strategic doctrine over the past 48 hours, per PressTV.

Trump has already said the US will strike Iran again tonight, meaning the Strait will be closed in the coming hours.

Iran says it will also strike US and other enemy targets at a ratio of at least two to one, for every Iranian target hit, at least two US targets will be struck in return.

'This will decline -50% from his high too

Parabolic moves mean only one thing: Look out down below!'

This is all you need to do to make millions in the stock market. Save this. Screenshot it. You will need it.

1. VIX above 35: buy aggressively
- High-beta tech, growth, small caps
- Every single time the VIX spiked above 35 since 2018 was a generational buying opportunity. COVID bottom. Oct 2022 bottom. Tariff crash. If you bought when everyone else was panicking, you made a fortune.

2. VIX 25 to 35: start scaling in
- Quality tech, financials, industrials, cyclicals
- This is where smart money starts building positions. Not all at once. Gradually. The fear is real but the opportunity is bigger.

3. VIX 15 to 25: hold
- Balanced: tech + defensives, dividend growers
- This is normal. Stay positioned. Don't chase, don't panic. Let your winners run.

4. VIX below 15: reduce exposure
- Rotate to: utilities, healthcare, staples, bonds
- This is when everyone is comfortable. Nobody is hedging. Nobody is worried. That's exactly when you should be.
- Every major crash in market history was preceded by the VIX sitting below 15 for weeks.

Right now the VIX is at 16. We're in the hold zone. Stay positioned but stay alert.
Bookmark this. The next time the VIX spikes above 35, don't freeze. Buy.

Elon Musk once said:

“Stop being patient and start asking yourself: How can I accomplish my 10 year plan in 6 months? You will probably fail, but you'll be far ahead of the person who simply accepted it would take 10 years.”

[Donald Trump Stock Tracker @DJTRadar]

The Intel story right now is pure comedy.

Trump's administration bought a ~10% stake in $INTC for $8.9 billion back in August 2025. They converted CHIPS grants into equity.

That stake is now worth $50 billion+. Trump has been bragging about $30 billion+ in gains for the US.

The government got in early and printed.

Then Jim Cramer goes on Mad Money June 30 and says "Intel, currently my favorite stock."

The stock was peaking that exact moment. It is down 15% since… in 2 days.

The government bought the bottom. Cramer called the top.

Some things never change.
