Liquidating my account, only really registered to talk with you guys since I was making some money on your stock picks, but I'm going dark for a few months now.

I mean, maybe, but not much of one as the market doesn't really seem to believe these random announcements any more than anyone else anymore.
AAPL down a whopping 2% on an alleged 25% hit to their top line. If anyone actually believed they'd actually have to pay that the stock would be down 15% and halted right now.

Sadly, this is what the market is going to be until he's gone. No idea why people would think its behind us. I guess the good news is, the world is catching on with respect to how this admin operates. Hopefully investors do too. Problem is, if/when threat is really followed through with, its going to be a significant adjustment at that time.

I think MSTR issued new shares and diluted today, didn't they?
Also MSTR CFO sold off a bunch of shares which always dings stocks to the negative.

Is the market really "falling" for these posts, or, using the heckler's veto? Seems the market knows that to reverse any proposed policy they disagree with, all they have to do is tank for a day or two. If the market doesn't react at all, the policy won't flip back as fast. When the person in charge uses the red/green arrow in the corner of CNBC to decide if the last thing he said was good or not, it's just as easy to manipulate back.
If memory serves, and it may not, politicians and hedge funds need to disclose stock purchases or shorts but not in real time. However, buying or selling of options does not require such disclosures. If I have that correct and if the powers have the forethought, oodles and oodles of money could be made by folks with inside information without having much of a public trace (save for released tax returns…)
Sparky Polastri

There's always a work around to the "law" for politicians. Always. And this is a smart way to go based on my understanding of the tax code, though I don't know the laws you'd be referencing here. It would probably be a good idea to have a straight forward law that prohibits these sorts of actions across the board for politicians or (just about) anyone tied to them.

I think options have to be disclosed too because the Pelosi's mostly trade options people definitely track those (and they are disclosed).

I was trying a new strategy for me. I know it has been done so save it to the board Buffets.
AAPL has been moving like a jumping bean on a hot plate.
Short term negatives are the criticisms of falling behind in AI and of course the POTUS threatening them every month or so.
el
Potential positive is their developer conference June 10-13. Spiked last year on Apple Intelligence but then nothing. I don't believe anything big will come out of this but nobody saw it coming last year.
So here's what I did:
1 call option expiring 6/20 with a strike price of $220.00
1 put option expiring 6/20 with a strike price of $195.00
I paid roughly $2.30 for each of these
Current price, $208
Went down the next day and sold the $220 & bought $215, cost me a $100 for this genius move.
Anyhow, woke up this morning (okay afternoon) to hear this news and thought I hit a nice one. :( I agree with you. Sold the $215 today. On news like this it seems like it takes a full day, minimum, to play out I'm most likely going to sell the put, currently $6.93, on Tuesday.
Then of course look for an entry point should something dynamic come out of the WWDC.
Somewhat informed gambling is fun!

I want to get back into SOFI soon. There is surely some substantial downside risk for this stock, as is evidenced by how annoying and aggravating it has been to own. Their financials last week were good, and they raised guidance. I think they have a lot of growth opportunities in private student loans, which right now I think are only 10% of student loans, but if the House bill passes in its current form, that will change pretty drastically, with a lot of government loans swinging to private.

On the otherhand, I literally just watched a local news report that showed the short term lenders like Klarna are seeing record late payments. How many defaults can they eat and still grow?

That post is for people who want to utilize ETF’s (active or passive) and asset allocate their portfolio.
As far as me? I am not a “broker”
I am a Discretionary Wealth Manager/Financial Advisor and I work strictly on a set flat fee.
When I asset allocate depending on the size of the accounts (for the fixed income side) we either use a combination of institutional class mutual funds, ETF’s and if large enough I will purchase individual bonds inside my wrap account and get the very best execution on them.
I am not a bond house broker nor a “stock broker” I am not transactional with Stocks/Bonds/ETF’s or Alternatives (Private REITS, Private Credit, Private Equity).
I am full service holistic asset/risk management and financial planning.

I had drinks this weekend with a close friend who works for Stanley Black and Decker. He says they are currently paying $100 million/month in tariffs, and that is what otherwise would basically be their entire monthly profit. He also said that the drills they used to make for $100, sell to Home Depot for $175, and that retailed at $245 are soon going to cost $200 to make, and that Home Depot isn't going to buy them at $275 apiece because they don't expect to be able to retail them at $345. He said it's effectively a trade embargo.
If these numbers are basically true - and I might have gotten the retail numbers a little off, but clearly remember the $100M/month tariff info - when will they begin to show up in quarterly earnings reports (for Stanley Black & Decker but also other similar corporations)?
I can't shake the feeling that some major corporation is going to go into bankruptcy over the tariffs, or some analyst is going to issue a report like Meredith Whitney did about Citigroup in October 2007, and there's going to be an Emperor's New Clothes moment where the market realizes the tariffs have already tipped the economy into a major recession. So I'm just wondering when we're going to start getting hard numbers from corporations about what the tariffs are doing to them and what they're doing in response.
