We are aware of the court action filed in Kenya against the Ebola isolation facility. We are in touch with Kenyan authorities and are optimistic we can resolve objections.
Stop trying to trade every move.
I spent months doing it,
It trapped me in a losing cycle, throwing away weeks of PNL.
Then I focused on ONE principle & finally made over 6 figures.
Here's how:
This is Peter Brandt.
He turned $88k into $10M+ using this one principle:
The Pareto Factor.
Only 20% of your trades ACTUALLY matter...
Here’s how he used it to gain an advantage over the market:
4. The mindset shift.
Trading isn’t about activity. It’s about patience.
Brandt waits weeks for A+ setups (only 6 trades/year)
Most traders force 50 trades to feel “productive.”
Avoid the noise.
How Trump's Tariffs on April 2 Mirror Drug Wars in Corrupt Regimes
When a new government takes over in many African dictatorships, they often initiate a high-profile war on drugs. This initial crackdown creates the illusion of reform and justice, but beneath the surface, the government is simply identifying the key players in the illicit trade. Once the major drug lords have been arrested or pressured, backdoor negotiations begin. The government takes control of the hidden tax, the bribes and payoffs that keep the trade running, and eventually, the crackdown fades. The drug business continues, but now under new management, with the ruling elite controlling the cash flow.
Remember the confidential budget for war on drugs in the prior finance bill?
The Illusion of Tariffs:
A similar pattern is unfolding with Donald Trump's proposed tariffs announced on April 2. Just as a dictator "fights drugs" to consolidate control over underground economies, Trump is using tariffs as a strategic tool to exert leverage over global trade. At first glance, these tariffs appear to be an aggressive economic war aimed at punishing foreign competitors, reducing trade deficits, and bringing jobs back to the U.S. However, beneath the surface, they serve as a means to force international negotiations and extract concessions that ultimately benefit U.S. interests.
However, Trump isn't taking bribes. This is strictly business serving American people and solidfying American foreign policy.
Step 1: The Initial Crackdown
Trump's tariffs, much like an anti-drug operation, create an immediate sense of urgency and crisis. Affected nations panic, industries scramble, and global markets react. By targeting key sectors, such as China’s technology industry, European automakers, and strategic mineral exports from Africa and South America, Trump is identifying the players that hold the most influence in global trade.
The tariffs act as an economic chokehold, squeezing foreign companies and governments into a position where they must seek dialogue. Just as drug lords in corrupt regimes negotiate their survival through backdoor deals, global leaders and corporate executives will be forced into discussions with the U.S. government to secure exemptions or modifications to the tariffs.
Step 2: Behind-the-Scenes Negotiations
Once key players are identified, Trump will begin leveraging these negotiations to extract benefits for U.S. interests. Countries and corporations seeking relief from tariffs will need to offer something in return—whether it’s access to rare minerals, trade policy concessions, or geopolitical support for U.S. foreign policy.
For example, African and Latin American nations may need to offer better mining rights to U.S. companies for critical minerals like lithium and cobalt, which are essential for America’s tech and defense industries. Another example, European allies, might be pushed into increasing their NATO defense spending or supporting U.S. sanctions on rival nations.
Step 3: The Controlled Stability
Once Trump secures the necessary concessions, the tariff war will gradually ease. New trade agreements, restructured supply chains, and revised policies will emerge, all favoring American interests. The international community will believe the "trade war" has subsided, just as citizens in a dictatorship eventually see the drug war fade. But in reality, control has simply shifted.
This is about negotiating from a position of manufactured crisis.
The scary thing is, there's nothing that anybody can do about it!
Show me the incentive, and I'll show you the unintended consequenses. There's a third angle that I may not have seen yet.. but it's coming because nations like China won't just let it go.
Nevertheless, Trump is who he says he is!
The same guys who demolished Eric Omondi's classroom and forced kids to give back donated uniforms and shoes..
The same guys who sought to close Mr Beast's donated boreholes and bridges..
Are today complaining that US President Trump canceled USAID funds to Kenya.
Make it make sense.
Trading is a game of patience.
Waiting for your setups.
Waiting for your targets.
Waiting for your long term goals.
Waiting for your trading success.
A trader who can't wait is not a successful trader.
