It a shame that it happened but if she succeeded with running the ICE agent over what would be your title be? Would she be a hero? It’s a shame she lost her life but all actions have consequences and the continued call to go after ICE they are on higher alert than ever knowing they have a target on their backs.
@ABlinken The auto pen must have started the peace deal, all Biden and his administration knew was to let the pro-Palestinian movement run through the US.
@TaraBull808 This was all B$ from the beginning they never planned on doing anything to any of the people on the list. Maxine G will now be set free because of their incompetence.
$CRCL – Everyone's real quite about this one right now... usually the time it starts to wake back up. Sleeper little breakout level at 192.5 this morning in play.
I guess she doesn’t know about War Powers Resolution of 1973, the president (as commander-in-chief) can:
•Order military action without congressional approval,
•BUT must notify Congress within 48 hours of doing so,
•Then must withdraw forces after 60 days (plus a 30-day withdrawal period) unless Congress authorizes further action.
I’m confused and it could be my own ignorance by hating media and not wanting to go through all the hate they spew when did Trump claim to be a King? When he said he would run for a third term? Or is this like how he was taking away all women’s rights and didn’t take anything away?
MAY ‘25 @SMBCAPITAL TAKEAWAYS
1. Product selection matters. Given the macro environment and opportunity set, many traders adapted by expanding into futures and options to capture the full range of opportunities. Oftentimes, the expected value of certain setups via options far exceeds that in the equity. Yes there’s a learning curve, but worthwhile for experienced traders.
2. Daily chart filtering became a huge edge once market structure confirmed further upside. The best traders proactively scanned for continuation patterns and structured trades around them. Personally, this has always been a weaker area for me and something even I could do a much better job at.
A lot of the swing traders on here like @RealSimpleAriel and others are far more adept at this than I am.
3. If you hit a PNL PR in a month like June, which imo was far less opportunistic than May, odds aren’t it wasn’t just getting lucky. You leveled up. When your process gets sharper and you extract more from less, that’s growth in its purest form.
4. Trading is really hard. You really need to be ok with getting the crap knocked out of you again and again. In order to do that, you do need to find a way to enjoy the process. Yes, there will always be absolutely awful moments of doubt and frustration. But if you can’t find a way to be motivated and appreciative of the experience…. It just isn’t going to happen or trading is meant to be a hobby. And that is totally ok too!
5. I was absolutely floored by the quality of intern at SMB this year. These interns were only a few weeks in and they could have passed for full-time traders 3 months into the learning curve.
@TaraBull808 If they cannot legally vote, drink, buy cigarettes, or a gun they are a minor and Epstein and whom ever else is a pedophile and deserve to be behind bars.
$SMH – Come on now! Lets get that confirmed Brigade Bolt™ over 249 and get the party started. Great moves from AVGO, NVDA, AMD yesterday. Will be a top theme of the day.
