Stock Market Crashing After Hours | Here's What's Coming

Are markets being manipulated after market hours? Nope, we have an update for you guys. What's going on guys? It's Ricky with Tech But Solutions here with a super quick market update. As many of you guys have seen or maybe you haven't. NASDAQ market is in the red at least over half percent consistent lower highs and lower lows. We closed at 7:22 and now it's trading at 7:18. What's going on, right? And if you pay attention, it's the semiconductor stocks that are selling off the hardest. I made a little bit over $3,000 today on MU. And then because of the volatility that began to present itself, especially during the after market hours, a huge run up and then a gap down, I was able to make $2,600 on MSTR. But of course, position fully closed. I don't carry these positions overnight. With that being said, what is the news that is being released after market hours that is causing the market to sell off? Again, we might have spoken too soon cuz in today's earlier video, we're talking about like, "Hey, markets really are not, right, factoring in any uncertainty. As long as no uncertainty presents itself, then there's really nothing to, you know, kind of be concerned about." This was like one of the first weekends that like there was no signs of an escalation, which was pretty nice because it was like a three-day weekend uh holiday for us. But then we get this. Iran strikes two commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz causing heavy damage. So again, Iran's IRGC fired at least two missiles at multiple commercial ships transiting through the Strait of Hormuz with two commercial ships hit and suffering significant damages. One of these ships is on fire and US-backed Southern Courier off the coast of Oman. So again, uncertainty about an attack that the IRGC or Iran has uh now made on uh a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. The thing that I believe is more significant is this is now the third time, right? The South Korean market over 170 billion USD has been wiped from the Southern Korean stock market as the KOSPI fell 4% following Samsung's Q2 earnings guidance. What the heck is Samsung reporting? So, Samsung killed it when it came down to their earnings, right? As expected. What started to concern investors is that remember these AI companies, semiconductors, and or memory chip companies are trading at perfection and anything sub-perfection will cause the market to react. They're trading at such a premium and with so much hype that they cannot afford to show any signs of not being perfect. The AI memory demand driven by HBM is certainly there. But the mo- but the moment signals emerge that it couldn't couldn't sufficiently prop up Samsung's overall revenue and guidance, the selling pressure poured in. It's a reflection of the market's judgment that HBM alone can't yet substitute for the cycle recovery in the rest of the memory business. So again there's lack of perfection. What was expected to prop up guidance and revenue was not actually followed through with. So, demand is great, but it's just not as great as what was expected. This is the third time that signs of uncertainty begin to present itself in the South Korean market. Now again it's very different than maybe our market, right? It doesn't mean that what is happening there has to happen here. But what perfect timing, especially as Michael Burry Michael Burry responds to Trump calling out short sellers. Donald Trump couldn't in a million years understand or make his way through my essays. But he can shoot from the hip and make money from his and for for him and his cronies better than anyone. I agree with that. There is no question that Trump is just I would say he doesn't need to be. I would say that was the best best way to answer it is there's no question that Michael Burry understands markets and financial markets to a degree that Trump, of course, would never. With that being said, Trump is in a position of power. He doesn't have to. He sent out a tweet just like he sent out today, right? With a message. I think it was during his live stream that he just talked about Dell. And he's like, "Everyone should go and buy Dell." Again, is it a conflict of interest? I think it is. I think it's a complete conflict of interest bull trap. But again, no one's going to do anything because he's the president of the United States. All his uh unbearable blindness supporters, right? There's nothing wrong with voting for Trump. I did it. I just do not see how, right? Like he does something that you know isn't right and you turn a blind eye. The blindness following just doesn't make sense. You don't have to agree with my political view. I don't have to agree with your political political view. It doesn't It's not that deep. But when you see that there's a direct conflict of interest and abuse of power that he was voted into. Again, it's like how can he be pumping these companies that are publicly traded and he's personally invested into them causing Dell to skyrocket 8% at one point just to give it all back. It's a short-lived positive catalyst trapping a bunch of people that bought in into the hype. And then now from the highs, right? Of 429, they end up losing 5 to 4% depending on where it is that they bought. It's just terrible, right? It's the same over and over again. Uh and Dell hasn't really made much progress since then. Showing strong signs of a resistance, but again, if you pay attention to a lot of these semiconductor stocks, they've been showing signs of lack of progress. I I would love to see a nice retracement on these semiconductor stocks, not because I think that it's a bubble that needs to pop. I just want to be invested in them at a decent deal, right? That's me selfishly. I would love them to sell off enough, not just because I want to short them, but because I would love to invest in them long-term. Not all of them. I don't care for Intel. There's a handful of them that I do not care for. I think they're absolute companies, but there are a few like Micron. Me personally, I I really do like the company. I like how it's being ran. I I like it fundamentally. I like it technically. Um and yeah, I would love the opportunity to invest in it once a deal presents itself. With that being said, I wanted you to understand the why. Why markets are dropping after market hours, and now you know. The update of what's going on in the South Korean market and its current uncertainty in the semiconductor and memory chip space, that again, they overanticipated what the company would do versus what it did report. Worse than expected guidance. Simply not perfect, right? And then of course, the attacks in Iran that are currently going on.
