President Trump demanded the US boost annual defense spending by more than 50% to $1.5 trillion for 2027, an unprecedented jump that he said would be paid for by revenue brought in by the tariffs imposed over the last year https://t.co/gUjdUldVSj
@jfsrevg Have you started factoring in volatility adjustments (using ATR) in your Excel-based RS calculations? Or is it still the traditional RS calc.? Just curious
🔴Even if the United States imposes even higher tariffs, it would no longer make economic sense and ultimately go down as a joke in world economic history.
🔴Given that it's already impossible for the Chinese market to accept #US imports at the current tariff level, if the United States imposes further #tariffs on Chinese products, #China will ignore it.
🔴However, should the United States persist in substantially undermining #China's interests, China will take firm countermeasures and fight to the end.

@d4ytrad3 Today I was one of the quiet ones, and with that came it shares of frustration. Thank you for this D4, I really needed to hear it. Here’s to better days
Retail investors continue piling into stocks:
Retail investors’ net inflows into US ETFs and single stocks hit a record ~$40 billion in March.
This is ~$10 billion higher than the previous all-time high posted at the beginning of the 2022 bear market.
Not even the meme stock mania in 2021 saw such massive retail inflows into equities.
As retail investors buy the dip, major indices have pushed lower and entered bear market territory.
Many retail investors are experiencing their first bear market.
$VVPR not going to spend more than 5 minutes on this but obviously this is a pump and dump. I think that "Energi" is likely an undisclosed related party and is not going to pay any $ amount for VVPR nor will they pay 4X or 5X it's current Enterprise Value.
Back in October 2021, SPAC $CTSUF (formerly $CCTS) held their IPO. By February 2024, the SPAC was reaching the end of the road and the sponsor sold the SPAC to new investors... In April 2024, VVPR made an agreement with CTSUF to SPAC a VVPR division called Tembo at an absurd $838M valuation. The VVPR CFO also became the CEO of CTSUF around the same time - so a related party to VVPR or VVPR acquired the SPAC vehicle. That pump worked until it didn't.
But in 2024 - who was fronting the $$ for the SPAC that did a DA with VVPR's Tembo and that added the VVPR CFO as it's CEO?

Today, a short-seller 'liquidation' scam:
Primega Group, $PGHL, is a Nasdaq-listed, Hong-Kong based entity that some some had likely shorted due to it being an obvious scam.
The stock spiked 108% today on no news and was halted all day after being unable to settle on an unhalt price. It then opened after hours +969% before collapsing again almost immediately.
So what happened?
Short sellers need only be outside of margin compliance for a fraction of a second for brokers to force automatic buy-ins. Knowing this, offshore scam operators tightly control the float of all these issuers but sometimes leave borrow available to lure in short sellers...
When short sellers bite, the scam operators wash trade a spike in the stock, then keep bid/asks moving during the halt so no unhalt price can be settled upon during regular trading hours. Then, after hours, it unhalts as they rip the price 10x+, causing brokers to force-liquidate accounts that were short. Brokers buy-in to cover the short sales as scam artists sell into the artificially high price.
This can lead to short accounts being wiped out instantly and can even lead to broker losses. The same liquidation scam playbook had been executed previously with other Nasdaq offshore scam tickers such as $ZJYL.
A cautionary tale for anyone wishing to short these obvious scams. And once again, more evidence that Nasdaq has transformed itself from a once respected stock exchange into a stock scam playground.
@jfsrevg @tradingview I actually figured it out. For AH earnings, it is actually a completely separate filter "Upcoming Earnings Date" vs "Recent Earnings Date"
@jfsrevg @tradingview The PM earnings today scan doesn't seem to include after- mkt-close earnings. Example today is $TSLA. Even if I were to switch the filter to "This week" vs "Current Trading Day", $TSLA still seems to be missing from the scan. Have you noticed inconsistencies like that too?
