🔥 Fuel for the off-season! It's starting! -30% in a month at small regional banks in the USA. Liquidity shortages, like in spring 2023, are happening right now!
If the situation continues, the war will continue, and regional banks in the USA will start to go bankrupt as in 2023: Silicon Valley, Signature Bank, First Republic Bank. Then the Fed (like in 2023) will begin rescuing them by flooding the entire banking system with liquidity through the BTFP (Bank Term Funding Program), which is about ~$200 billion, along with an announcement of the end of QT. Now, more will be needed.

🔥 A little positivity for the feed, or they'll think I'm a bear. I'm generally for long positions and peace worldwide, but Trump isn't letting us catch our breath.
If you look purely at the chart, you could take a long with a tight stop, the risk is small. Even if it goes against you, the risk is almost negligible, like 1 in 10.
I'm personally long on oil, already up over 170%, and I'm thinking about closing or holding. What's the risk, what's the post about?

🔥 Gold is a preservation asset, and Bitcoin is not ( this is MMM) = Debunking the myth
I decided to write because I often hear this; many apparently don’t understand what the catch is at all, so let’s read:
- When you buy 1 Bitcoin on your computer, you are = holding 1 Bitcoin.
- When you buy 1 XAU (XAUT, PAXG, GLD, etc.) at a price of $4500 ( as of today ), you are not ≠ 1 troy ounce of gold.
- When I, for example, have 1 BTC in my wallet = that’s really 1 BTC. We’re not talking about exchanges here; it’s about diversification, trust, and so on. BUT they also have a 1-to-1 backing since 2023

🔥 New York Times: Netanyahu ordered yesterday for the IDF to deliver a maximum strike against Iran's defense industry within the next 48 hours
This smells like preparation for a US amphibious landing over the weekend, at the moment when US marines will arrive, when markets will be closed - I'm making a video on this exact topic for Friday. I wouldn't hold long positions over the weekend...
