I know the energy stocks are dipping today based on what (in my opinion) is very thin news of questionable reliability. A Trump tweet? Statements from the Iranian government they later deny making? It’s crazy those swing the market by 1k points (like it did yesterday).
What if Trump comes out tonight and says the US is sending ground troops into Iran? Or at Iran’s borders to “protect its neighbors?” Perhaps the US will “take” Kharg island?
Trump hasn’t given any “official” statements / speeches since the start of this war. Just impromptu remarks and “truth” posts.
How is selling off energy stocks the right move at this time? I probably have some ADHD myself, but the swings in the market based on tiny shreds of “news” is irrational is it not?
Anyone hedging their bets or holding off til Trump talks tonight?

Only got a few quid but I’ve cashed out till tomorrow
Of course
Anyone expecting anything new or interesting is gonna be sorely disappointed. It’s just going to be a reiteration of “We already won. Iran needs to accept they lost and reopen the Strait or face the consequences. This operation will be over in 2-3 weeks.” along with a condemnation of our NATO allies for not doing more.
No
I’m looking for resistance at 200 DMA on the major indexes.
I’m tempted to play both ends with options, but that guy has cost me too much money already.
I m curious bc he would not announce boots on the ground, should act as a surprise, I m scared for my long vix position he s going to say that US won and it is time to go back home, and tomorrow +3% non sense
I think based on other tweets when Trump says he’s escalating the war stocks go down. So ground troops would be a disaster.
Only good news will come from DJT. bullish
I’m not making any sort of bet on this, but it feels like the lead-up to “15 days to slow the spread” in March 2020 and tariff liberation day in April 2025.
We’ll know soon enough.
I bought SCO. Hoping for an end soon
Sell green buy red…
Im holding GUSH calls. Down quite a bit from a few days ago, but meh. It was always a gamble
I purchased downside protection just now.
Multiple RTY futes sold.
Guysss cmon convince me he will not do the Taco tonight
We’ll learn tomorrow who bought calls or puts before close today.
Dumbest timeline
I’m not a risky type, but I bought an AMD put. Not only does it usually decline after a big day, I’m hoping the speech tonight spooks the market.
Iran should schedule simultaneous press conferences and just, every single time, state that whatever is heard from the other one is completely disconnected from any and all reality.
He will wait until the end to announce that the Marine invasion force has been diverted to Greenland.
Oil is dropping because everything has been priced in and people are taking profits
Im holding off until trump is out of office at this point.
Nah, it’s probably an announcement on his ballroom, with some “we’ve already won in Iran” sprinkled in.
Yes. I have BOTH puts and calls, leaps.
Did a decent among of DCA. Went from 7.8% off of Feb highs to 4.0% off. Hopefully we get one more decent sell off for more DCA.
Rolled over couple of CC that were to expire tomorrow
I don’t ever watch him anymore. Nothing of consequence, substance or coherence ever comes from it. And I have better things to do with my time.
I bought shares yesterday and am holding the put I have to hedge my portfolio. I have a little more money I’m waiting to deploy.
First out of his mouth will be crying about NPR (waaa) and then he will be bragging about his signature appearing in new money (brrrr)
Holding off this mkt is ass rn, not tradeable until we get a red day.
Just buy whatever you think available at reasonable valuations. It is a continuous process. There is nothing like a one absolute bottom and absolute top.
He might as well shout’ everything is going to be great!’ every time he wants to move the market. With troops headed in, he’s pinky promising to leave on a couple of weeks. Wait for reality to catch up and ignore the orange scrounger.
Nope. I invest in companies I think have a good strong future and I don’t worry about current events because all that does is rope my emotions into my
Investing process and emotions are the worst for investing.
I’m just over here riding the turbulent waves.
sellling covered calls like crazy during this pump that i believe will not last.
