Everything Is Red! What To Do When The Market Crashes

US Treasury best just made a threat and it looks like markets are not taking it well. Uh Mike run as of right now is down.9% on the on the aftermarket hours 5.8% on the day. But I do want to disclose that the initial selloff again from overall lows to uh from market open to current lows is like 3.6%. So, a lot of it was gapped down overnight from the actual market open to the market close. It wasn't as substantial of a sell-off as markets quickly bottomed once they did find a support and then they began to recover. Now, it looks like they're headed right back down. Again, overall trend is pretty bearish. Lower highs, lower lows. We talked about it earlier. uh the semiconductor space is getting hit pretty hard based off of the most recent update that we've learned from Samsung driving down the semiconductor space. So again, I do have an active short on Micron as of right now. And because of that, I am currently up over $2,000 on the day shorting Micron Technologies. I want to remind you just because I choose to short it does not mean that you should. one of the other trades that I took today. If you're part of my LPPP team, you must uh you you would have seen this uh trade $1,300 on the day, closed this position fully. And again, the big focus that I have right now, just like I talked to you guys earlier today, is Bitcoin is up. It gapped up a lot last week. I'm waiting for the break of support. So, the trade that I really took today, honestly, it was a high-risisk trade, very little reward. The most the big trade is when and if right when Bitcoin begins to sell off and if it breaks below 75,000 we have this big gap down to fill right from 7675,000 back down to previous lows again from 75,000 to 65,000 it's over 15% of downside. I don't trade Bitcoin but I'm always open to the idea of shorting Micro Strategy until then. there's no reason to short it as long as it remains bullish. But once and if Bitcoin begins to sell off again, I would love the opportunity to short in my opinion this piece of worthless company that dilutes investors as they borrow against these investors and again borrow money out of thin air with more share offerings. I don't believe in Bitcoin, but I believe in anyone's right to buy Bitcoin. If you believe in Bitcoin, then buy Bitcoin itself or buy an actual Bitcoin ETF. Why would you ever buy a company that dilutes you? It makes zero sense. If you want to lose your money, then again, invest in Micro Strategy because they've been really good at one thing, and that is underperforming Bitcoin. From the highs of $543 to the overall lows of $80, it was one and has been one of the worst performing stocks of 2025 and 2026. Even while Bitcoin was hitting new all-time highs, MSTR never did. So again, I'm patient. I'm definitely biased. I don't like Micro Strategy and I don't like Bitcoin. I don't care to support anything that Jeffrey Epstein funded. It's not an opinion. It's a fact. That being said, it's an overbought reversal. I know that I need to wait for confirmation and not just short this stock because I believe that it's worthless. I want to short this stock when it makes sense. And that's what I'm going to wait out for. Again, overall NASDAQ market ended 1% in the red and still pointing straight down. Lower highs, lower lows, and again, they have a lot of issues right now. US Treasury Secretary Bessnet says that the world must decide between US or Iran and threatens anyone who chooses Iran. It is now time for the world leaders to make a decision between America and Iran. Of course, I'm on America's side. I just think that a lot of Americans, including myself, are tired of this back and forth of deal, no deal. We want this to be over with, right? It's obviously Trump that started it. He loved it when it was pumping up and he was able to, you know, short the oil markets and then rally with the oil markets. I mean, based off of Trump's latest disclosures, he's made the most money in the past two years with all of his different investments. And a lot of this has to do with, again, his ability to manipulate markets. But again, this is just one of the latest updates, and I'll do my part in keeping you guys up to date. The Trump administration earlier this morning said that the straight of her is open. Today we come to find out that well maybe no it's not. Oil tankers attacked in the straight of Hermuz and again this is one of the most recent reports as of August 24th 2026. So again it looks like the straight of Hermuz is definitely not just open. The US is to impose an additional 7.5% tariff on Chinese goods. And this is following the news of US imposing up to a 50% tariff starting January 1st, 2027 to Canada. It looks like Trump tariff is back or tariff Trump is back. Now, the big focus for this week is Nvidia. Nvidia is set to report earnings on Wednesday after the markets close. It's going to be a highly anticipated, if not the most highly anticipated earnings report of this entire quarter. With that being said, it's had seven consecutive straight red days. So again, is this a sell-off before the rally? Could be. Again, it's one of the best performing companies. And if we actually look at it, Nvidia is uh it's not incredibly expensive. The last time that that I looked at it, it's at 31 times its earnings, which again, historically speaking, is not the most expensive it's been. And based off of fair value analyst, according to Investing Pro, it shows about 40 24.6 6% upside. I'm very excited to see how it actually reports earnings based off of what is expected and what is actually reported. At least based off of its most recent changes, they've been quite negative. And again, sentiment, this is just my opinion. You guys let me know in the comments section what you think. In my opinion, sentiment has been quite uncertain about, you know, with the market as of right now with the US Treasury trying to step in and doing these bond buybacks. First offering double of two billion now 4 billion now saying that it could be a little bit more now saying that it could be up to the entire nearly $1 trillion they have in cash. I think it just shows signs of desperation. Again, a lot of uncertainty is beginning to kind of present itself, especially in the semiconductor space, which is maybe considered to be a little bit overhyped up, overvalued, but we'll see. Nvidia is one of the most valuable companies that's publicly traded for a reason. You know, there are a lot of companies that are trying to follow in its footsteps, but Nvidia is the juggernaut. It's really the the leader in this whole AI revolution. It is a company that I'm invested in long term, but at least at these current levels, I have no intention of adding more. Right? The difference between, you know, wanting to be invested and actually focusing on investing when a good deal presents itself.
