The business community is giddy with excitement about the @realDonaldTrump administration. I am hearing this from everyone, including from people who didn’t vote for Trump.
Business confidence is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Business leaders are becoming more confident about the country and the economy. This means they will be making more investments in our future which will drive the economy and the stock market, reducing the cost of capital and bolstering confidence further, catalyzing more investment and more growth in a self-reinforcing, virtuous cycle.
Merger and acquisition activity is about to explode as there are an enormous number of deals that have been deferred pending a more favorable regulatory environment for transactions. M&A will drive efficiency, greater profitability and growth. It will also enable the return of capital to investors who will seek to redeploy their profits and proceeds in new investment opportunities.
The DOGE and deregulation will drive government efficiency and make America a vastly better and lower-risk place to do business efficiently and effectively.
I am also hearing about non-US companies that are desperate to immediately create a presence on U.S. soil. They are frightened to be locked out of the most important economy in the world. They will build factories and make new investments here to avoid the risk of tariffs and because they don’t have a better place to invest capital.
China’s economy is in trouble. Europe’s is a mess. The U.S. has now become by far the best country for investment.
Growth is about to explode.
$CAT.ax I overstayed on this one (entry 20/06) and rode out the shakeout on 24/06 and price hadn't done much since..
Somehow it managed to find a breakout today, haven't peeled any and raising stop to break-even.. Not the prettiest trade but either it follows through or I'm out
$AMI new position on this today
Note the significant drop off in volume over the prior two sessions, that is often a key signature preceding a breakout
Closed at multi-year highs and hopefully just getting started
$WA1 annoyingly missed this on Thursday after putting in back-to-back inside days
Price managed to consolidate between the DTL and previous swing high in a nice contracted range without giving back much of the prior day gains
Bullish setup for next week imho
$LTP.ax this is the kind of response you want after a few days of range contraction
Not a perfect close but some steady buying today, hopefully more in the tank for tomorrow
