MONTHLY MACRO BRIEFING: Execution Over Algorithm It has been over a month since my last update. Content creation takes up a lot of time, and I noticed I was getting dragged into the eToro algorithm.

THE MACRO DISCONNECT: Is the market trading a mirage? The markets are currently moving as if macroeconomic laws no longer apply.

THE COLD SHOWER: Why hope is not a strategy The market is desperately clinging to headlines today, with indices pushing higher as traders bet on Trump’s hints that "something could happen in the next two days" regarding peace talks.

THE HARDEST PART Of INVESTING ISN'T THE RESEARCH OR THE EXECUTION. IT’S THE WAITING. Most people feel like they’re failing if they aren’t making a move every single day. They see a small bounce after a tweet and immediately fear they’re missing the bottom. But that’s exactly how capital gets eroded... Show More

The "15-Minute" Illusion vs. Market Reality We’ve seen it again: the market swinging wildly based on headlines. While the $SPX500 and $NSDQ100 react to every tweet, we must distinguish between narrative and physics. Yesterday, massive positions were moved just 15 minutes before positive... Show More

Tuesday Update: Navigating the "TRUTH SOCIAL" Rally Yesterday was a classic example of sentiment temporarily overshadowing fundamentals. Trump’s Truth Social post and the announcement of a 5 day pause in the ultimatum triggered a sharp relief rally. We saw oil correct from $112 to $87 at... Show More
