H-1B visa’s used to cost $3000-$8000.
Trump added an additional $100,000 fee.
H-1B visa applications then dropped by 87%.
Now Trump wants the additional fee to be $200,000.
This would just about KILL the program.
And I'm totally here for it.
MY NEXT SECTOR ROTATION WATCH
This is how I find the next move BEFORE everyone starts chasing.
Sectors currently breaking out:
$XLK TECHNOLOGY
$AAPL $MSFT $PLTR $CSCO $ORCL
$DRAM MEMORY
$MU $SNDK $WDC $STX
$SMH SEMICONDUCTORS
$NVDA $AVGO $AMD $LRCX $AMAT $QCOM
Sector on watch for a break out:
$DTCR DATA CENTERS / AI INFRASTRUCTURE
$VRT $CRWV $NBIS $APLD $IREN
All 4 are sitting at areas I’m watching for the same setup:
Demand holds
8/21 turns bullish
Downtrend breaks
Retest holds
Then I attack the strongest names inside the strongest sector.
Everyone wants what already ran.
I’m looking for WHERE MONEY ROTATES NEXT.
We're still in a secular bull market, so if the next major low happens in October 2027, it's not going to be a real bear market but another 2-3 month crash. In this scenario, we're talking about a major top in July/August 2027, then a 15-20% decline.

Gold - Parabolic rise into the January top ✅
Initial 30% drawdown ✅
Bearish crossover on the monthly MACD/TSI ✅
Monthly close below the 12 month MA ✅
Conclusion: a bear market is in progress into the next 7 year cycle low. The minimal downside target is 2800.
SPX- With regards to a 4 year cycle low: it's still possible that it will happen in Q4, though there doesn't seem to be a catalyst for a 15%+ decline in 2026. The other possibility is: since 2020 there's been a new 30 month cycle, so the next major low will occur in October 2027.
In 1997, Mark Minervini won the U.S. Investing Championship with a 155% return.

One of the most important patterns behind his approach is something you can spot on almost any chart:
- Strong prior uptrend
- Each pullback gets smaller: 25% → 15% → 8% → 3%
- Volume dries up as price gets tighter
- Supply starts disappearing as fewer sellers are willing to sell
- Breakout through the pivot as demand returns
Each contraction tells you something: sellers are becoming less aggressive, while buyers are willing to step in at progressively higher levels.
He calls it the Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP).
The idea is simple:
When a stock refuses to go down while volume dries up, pay attention.
It may be moving toward the point of least resistance.
Tighter before higher.
THIS HAS MARKED EVERY MAJOR BUYING & SELLING OPPORTUNITY SINCE 1990
Save this. You will use it forever.
This is how generational wealth is made.

The $VIX is Wall Street’s fear gauge.
If you trade $SPY or $QQQ, you need to understand it.
VIX <20: TRIM / REDUCE RISK
VIX 20–30: HOLD
VIX 30–40: START BUYING
VIX >40: BUY THE PANIC
RIGHT NOW: VIX 14.53
We’re back in the low-volatility zone.
Trim positions and let winners run. Do less right now.
Fear creates opportunity. That’s where the real wealth is made.

For anyone learning how to find stocks BEFORE they run:
This is EXACTLY how I found the memory rotation early.
$DRAM : $MU $SNDK
And it’s how I’ll find the next one.
Don’t overcomplicating it.
I’m looking for:
• A sector/theme quietly gaining strength
• The ETF beginning to outperform
• Leaders building bases before the breakout
• 8/21 turning bullish
• Relative strength vs the market
• Break → retest → continuation
I don’t start with a random stock.
I find where the money is rotating first in an ETF.
Then I find the strongest names inside it.
This weekend is where your $100K trading journey starts.
This is the exact setup that has generated me over $1,000,000 this year:
• Wait for the 8/21 cross
• Break the key level
• Retest the level + 8 EMA
• Enter on confirmation
• Use the 21 EMA as defense
Screenshot this.
Find this setup this weekend.
Use it next week.
$VIX in August had the second lowest monthly close for an August since 2018.
$VIX in August had the lowest intraday peak for an August since 2018.
$VIX in August had the lowest daily close for an August since 2018.
$VIX in September is currently starting out exactly how September 2018 started out.
Conincidentally, 2018 was Trump's midterm election year in his first term.
Then October 2018 happened where the $VIX spiked 156%.
Are we following the same playbook?
What if we just did half of what 2018 did came Oct-Dec 2018?? See below.
Things that make you go hmmm.
This is what dropping your kids off at school is like in 2026.
This is what boomers will never understand. The world they grew up in and raised children in has been destroyed and gone. Institutional trust is now 0.
This is why homeschooling is exploding.
