Ansem on why he's still here

"I like helping people. When I first joined CT, there were a lot of people who could've left but they stayed and taught people how to trade and learn about markets"

"I'm kind of in that place now. I have the ability to share the knowledge i've gained. That's honestly the simplest reason"

"Going to conferences and having people say 'i retired my mom because i bought this' or 'i bought a house because i did this'... there's nothing like it. It's real genuine fulfillment"

"Trading is very PvP, very self-serving. Teaching people and helping with markets feels like a counterbalance to that"

An Indonesian guy permanently tattooed "Ansem To 1B" on his forehead.

He says it's to support $ANSEM and believes it can hit a $1B market cap.

Said the tattoo is his way of showing belief, respect, and support for what Ansem is doing.

He even claims he doesn't own any $ANSEM after losing money on Pumpfun.

Only in crypto. 😂

[Goshawk Trades @GoshawkTrades]

Druckenmiller on why most investors can't sell losers:

"if the reason i bought a stock is no longer the case, i don't care what i paid for it."

"if i bought it at 60 and it's 50 because the market discovered the problem before me, i have no emotion whatsoever."

"after a while you develop enough confidence that you're not afraid to clean the slate and start over. because you have the confidence that you'll be successful again."

"you're not going to sit there in a lazy position that you're not that sure about anymore. just clean house."

"i don't care what i paid for a stock. it's absolutely irrelevant to my investment process going forward."

then on buying back higher than he sold:

"i don't like it. but i'm perfectly willing to buy something back higher than i sold it. some people can't get themselves to do it. i can."

this is the exact same principle behind properly managing strategies. if the edge isn't there anymore, turn it off. don't sit in it hoping it recovers just because you spent three months building it. clean house. start fresh. the next opportunity doesn't care about your sunk costs.

How $MU holders are celebrating earnings

[Dean Marantis🇺🇸🇬🇷 @Deenobrown123]

Micron results: I think the biggest take away for me is really simple: Micron made more profit this quarter than NVDA made almost exactly 1 year ago. And next quarter’s guidance is way more than what NVDA made in Q3 of 2025. NVDA did about $35 billion in revenue and $20 billion in profit in q3 2025. Micron will do $50 billion in revenue and $35 billion in profit next quarter. Does everyone see this? Does everyone understand this? NVDAs market cap at the time was $4 trillion. Micron’s current market cap is $1 trillion dollars. Micron is growing faster than NVDA did last year in actual dollars and percentages and it trades at 1/4 the valuation. Math is math. Liars figure, but figures never lie.

[Bull Theory @BullTheoryio]

🚨 THIS IS WHY EVERYTHING IS CRASHING AT THE SAME TIME TODAY.

Gold, silver, and tech stocks are all down together right now, which usually signals forced selling across markets.

AI SEMICONDUCTOR DELEVERAGING

South Korea's Kospi crashed 10% today, triggering a circuit breaker for the second time this month. Samsung and SK Hynix both fell more than 12%.

A local media report said SK Hynix is slowing down expansion of its newest chip and shifting focus to a lower priced, commodity grade chip to cover a shortfall.

For a company at the center of the AI memory boom, that reads as a signal that demand assumptions are being walked back.

On top of that, Korean investors had been buying chip stocks with record amounts of borrowed money, after regulators had already warned that the sector's rally had run too hot.

Once the selling started, that leverage forced even more selling, which is what turned this into a circuit breaker instead of a normal pullback.

QUARTER-END REBALANCING

JPMorgan warned that quarter-end rebalancing could force up to $165 billion in equity selling worldwide.

Big pension funds and sovereign wealth funds have to rebalance back to fixed stock-to-bond targets after a strong run in stocks. The window runs through June 30, so we are still in the middle of it.

A HAWKISH FED

9 of the Fed's 19 policymakers are projecting at least one rate hike this year, and markets are pricing a 70% chance of a hike by September. That alone raises the cost of holding risk right now.

USD/JPY AND A POSSIBLE YEN INTERVENTION

USD/JPY had violent wicks yesterday, the kind of move that shows up when Japan steps in to defend the yen. The pair was already sitting near levels where Japan has intervened before.

If that is what happened, it disrupts the yen carry trade, where investors borrow cheap yen to fund positions in stocks and other assets globally. Unwinding that trade hits unrelated markets at the same time, which lines up with gold, silver, and stocks all dropping together today.

The move was on the smaller side, so a confirmed intervention isn't certain. But it's the one thread connecting everything else here.

TECH SPECIFIC WEAKNESS

The Nasdaq closed down 2.33% yesterday, and futures point to another 2.50% drop today.

The Dow closed up +0.29% the same day, almost entirely from one stock, Caterpillar.

SpaceX fell 16% yesterday, its third straight losing day, down from $176 to $154.

Alphabet fell 5% on reports of AI talent leaving. Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft all fell with them.

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Good luck pursuing legal action after getting sandwiched once. If it would pass in court (it wouldn't) then everyone you ever sandwiched would have grounds for a class action against the endless sandwiches you made. You would be supremely shafted. And even if it doesn't pass, your name will be out there and you surely wouldn't want that. You can't do shit, re*ard. GGWP to the guy that got you rekt. No crying in the kitchen, fa**ot.”

ALL $DRAM AND $MU INVESTORS RIGHT NOW

[Goshawk Trades @GoshawkTrades]

a lot of replies to this are "his edge is his contacts, you can't replicate that."

exactly. that's the lesson.

his edge is 40 years of running Goldman Sachs, a network of the most connected people in global finance, and pattern recognition built from decades at the center of every major market event since the 1980s.

you cannot copy that.

but here's what you can take from it:

1. he's not using a Bloomberg terminal with 14 screens. he's on an iPad with a phone. the complexity of the setup has nothing to do with the quality of the output. some of the best traders i know run everything from a single laptop.

2. he trades every day because he genuinely enjoys it. "to me, the market is like music." the guy doesn't need the money. he does it because the process itself is the reward. if you don't feel that way about building and running strategies, this game is going to grind you down eventually.

3. he has an edge he can actually explain. "i know a lot about financial services having been in financial services." that's it. no mystery. just decades of accumulated knowledge in a domain.

the question isn't "how do i trade like Blankfein." the question is "what's my version of that?" what domain do you know better than the average market participant? what informational or structural advantage do you actually have?

for most of us, the answer isn't contacts. it's systematic execution, proper validation, and understanding common risk premiums and inefficiencies that show up.

as Agustin Lebron (ex Jane Street quant) says:

"edge is something you understand and can act on that the marginal participant in the market doesn't understand or can't act on."
