Europe doesn’t even have gun powder and US can’t produce faster weapons than Iran

Here’s body camera footage of just a few videos of federal immigration agents using racial slurs such as “tonk” and “wet” to refer to immigrants in Los Angeles.

The most orderly momentum selloff in history I imagine. VIX 15.50 and momo getting slammed (yes I know why, but still amazing to see)

$CLDI

I think it could get to $0.50 to 0.80 cents

Don’t take it as gospel, they have great science and technology but they burn thru cash heavily

I think it’s a good low risk high reward, risk $0.15 cents for 200% to 400%

Not financial advice!

🚨 BREAKING: The Strategic Petroleum Reserve has just fallen to its lowest level since August 1983- 340.3mb. That's a 42 yr low. No matter where you stand politically, it's a remarkable statistic: America's emergency oil stockpile hasn't been this depleted since the Reagan era.

A chunk of this tech weakness probably isn't a fundamental story. It's supply.

When a really big IPO is coming, people who want to participate need to raise cash, and they raise it by selling other stuff. That selling tends to hit the names that are easiest to get out of.

I think that's a decent piece of what's dragging tech right now, though I don't know how long it persists. Maybe it's largely done this week and the pressure releases when the IPO actually prices.

For me the playbook isn't to short into it. The pressure usually ends faster than people expect. It's more about not catching the dip too early, and being ready when the funding flow flips the other way.

The West is in an age of “hyperpolitics” in which polarization has surged but institutions are incapable of delivering change, a leading researcher argued.

Sell side came out of the gate swinging. They blew through globex low with out any fight which is indictive of sell side control. We may have a down session brewing. Downside targets 7560 and they may be going after these single prints 51-37s.

From @WSJFreeEx via @WSJOpinion: The U.S. is better than China because we have a dynamic, free-market economy that encourages innovation. They don’t have that, so they steal a lot of things, writes @matthennessey.

$SPX remains in a positive gamma environment as dealer positioning strengthened sharply this morning.

Net GEX jumped 20% since 10AM, call activity accelerated, and key resistance remains near 7550–7600. Dealer flows continue supporting price stability for now.

[Cheddar Flow @CheddarFlow]

$SPY is sitting right in the battle zone at 749.53, with 750 as the major call wall and 749 as the put wall. Net gamma is still positive at +3.8B, so volatility may stay muted above 750,

NEW: @JBKSchlossberg said this month he wants "no weapons to Israel" and is the only candidate seeking to block "bombs and bulldozers" to Israel.

But in a private meeting with the city's second-oldest private social club, he told members something completely different. He said he "would have continued funding Israel's offensive weaponry within the years following Oct. 7" and that "I have been a stronger supporter of Israel than I ever thought I would be."

This is my current ask side flow feed. My flow feed is sleeping.... Don't force trades when the flow feed is sleeping and there's low volume across the market

Perhaps we should also contemplate abandoning the idea that the Fed even can control inflation. The Fed has already abandoned its 0% legislative mandate. Keeping M2/GDP flat, and stopping deficit spending would do a lot more than tweaking the Fed Funds target.

Somewhere between market open and Memorial Day weekend, you realize peace is the real flex.
Hope everyone had a safe, relaxing long weekend.
Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸
