Every issue that Trump was ignoring is now showing. What's going on, guys? It's Ricky with Tech Solutions. I do apologize for kind of the early upload in the United States, but it's a midday upload here in Italy. It's 11:25, 11:26 a.m. Uh, and as of right now, markets are looking pretty bad. I want to share with you why this is currently happening and what we can do about it. Right. First off, nothing that we're talking about right now other than one of the latest attacks um is new. Nothing. It's been ignored. We've talked about this. If you're part of my LPP team, we've talked about all of these concerning issues that the Trump administration has been ignoring and markets have still been trading at all-time highs. Let's go ahead and just jump right into it. Currently, NASDAQ's QQQ is down 1%. And rightfully so, right? NASDAQ market, if you look at the larger time frame, is trading still nearly at all-time highs. If we pull up SPY, S&P 500 ETF is again trading nearly at all-time highs. Yet, there's a bunch of concerns. Japan's 10-year bond yield has hit 3% for the first time since 1996. Remember, the yield is the interest in which that government pays on money that it borrows. On top of that, two oil super tankers have been struck in the straight of Hermuz. What happened then? Oil prices. If we look at again the oil watch list that we have, we've shared it with our LPP members. Oil once again is pushing higher. It's during the pre-market session in the United States. Right. I believe right now in Arizona it is 2:27 a.m. meaning that in the east coast it is 5:27 a.m. So as of right now UCO is currently up 2.94%. Uh we have USO currently up 2.31 and WTI which is um yeah the the offshore oil company 1.83. That is after a consecutive green day yesterday for oil. Right. The thing that we want to highlight is also aside from this, it's not just Japan. The reason that we're watching US Treasury yields and Japan Treasury yields is because again, Japan is at a point where they can either begin to sell US treasuries, which has been a very big concerning issue for the Treasury Department in the US because Japan is the largest foreign holder of US bonds. So if they need to intervene with their own bond market and if they need to offload US bonds meaning selling because they own so much so they can use that money to then bring down their yields that means that by selling and dumping into the US bond market right if there's an overupp then yields are going to have to go higher right to make it more attractive this would mean that then that yield goes higher the interest that the US then paid pays on money that it borrows will go higher. This is the last thing that Trump or the Trump administration want. But guess what? The whole reason, again, I think it's very important to talk about both sides. The whole reason that we are in this pressing issue, I mean, there's a lot of different reasons, but right now, what is the pressing concern? Inflation is high, attacks in the Middle East, oil prices are higher. That is all coming from the attacks in Iran, right? and the closure of the straight of Hermouth. I mean, if we actually look at the strategic petroleum reserve, it has fallen to the lowest level since 1982. Why is it so low? Supposedly, the deal with Venezuela is supposed to top this off. But where is it? We are getting dangerously low and we are seeing the implications of this at the pump. Oil prices are going through the roof, which is why oil is going higher. When oil goes higher, then guess what? Our inflation is um going higher. And this is full circle. If inflation goes higher, then the Federal Reserve has to do something about it, right? And this is why now um I actually don't think I have it pulled up right now. Uh Fed rate monitor tool. Let me go ahead and pull it up here. Uh you guys can always look this up yourself. We now have the highest probability in two weeks. There's a 66.4% probability that the Federal Reserve is going to raise rates. Trump in the most recent meeting is begging the Federal Reserve to cut rates. The exact opposite of the position that they're currently put in being right. You cannot cut rates when inflation is rising. But again, inflation is rising because oil prices are rising. That's the main contributor to our current rate of inflation. But oil is rising because of the closure of the straight of her. But Trump says that the straight of Hermuz is open and controlled by the US. That is not true. This is why again we talk over and over about we don't want to fight the trend of the market because it continues to creep up higher but what Trump has been spewing for the past 35 weeks is complete and utter and you know it right it is important right there's a difference between being a Republican and a MAGA Republican is you have specific grounds just like a Democrat right there's a difference from a Democrat and a liberal there's extremist on both sides Don't be an idiot. Right? If they are, if any administration is doing something you do not agree with and you can see that is not right for the people, why would you ever bend the knee for any politician that you know is just enriching themselves and their family? It just doesn't make any sense. The highest probability is in just two weeks that the Federal Reserve is going to have to raise rates. But Ricky, we don't Okay, you're saying that you don't care. That means everything in money in which you borrow and money in which businesses borrow, mortgages, everything is going to go higher. It's going to be more expensive to borrow money. And what are Americans great at? Incurring debt. Again, this will contract. This will slow down our economy. The same thing that we've been talking about for multiple weeks that everyone says, Ricky, why are you fear-mongering? No, no, no. I get it. markets are rational. They're pushing up higher because there's this this AI boom. And I love that there's a sector that is thriving. Two things can be right at the same time. But the AI sector is one of the few sectors that is actually thriving while everything is struggling and falling behind. And that is again not an opinion, it's a fact. If you look at almost every other sector instead of just the AI infrastructure, you can see the lagging effect. Walmart just reported one of its worst guidance in years. Again, I feel like that is a better measure of how the average American is actually doing versus how Nvidia or these AI companies are doing. It's great to be invested into tech. I have no intention of selling all of my long-term investments. But at these overbought levels, it makes no sense with all of these red flags presenting themselves to be overleveraged just because Trump is telling you to invest in data centers or to buy more or that markets are going to go higher. Have we not seen that from what he says to what he actually does are two very completely different things? He said he would bring down the deficit and we've only contributed more to it. It just doesn't add up. And I believe that's the last thing that I had to share with you. The main thing that I wanted to emphasize, oh, this is one thing that I actually found to be rather odd is that gold is actually falling, which is quite odd because gold tends to be cyclical in the sense that it goes up when markets go down, but it's also going down. Not too sure if this is actually going down as well as with silver and Bitcoin because they've just propped up too high in such a short period of time. So, I'm not too sure if it's just a technical sell-off. With that being said, I closed my short fully on Nvidia. As you guys can see, I left myself with my one lucky share and that's it. I made $3,600. My position is fully closed. The only thing that now I've bought the dip on is MSTR and I literally just opened it. actually bought a long just in case markets creep up a little bit. Um, I can reek some of that benefit. If it ends up making new lows, as you can see, now I'm break even or down 11 bucks. I'll close out that trade and just wait for markets to bottom. There is no question that again markets are more bullish than bearish. Do not hear what I'm not saying. All I'm saying is that at these extreme overbought levels with all of these red flags presenting themselves, there's a difference from not being invested to being overleveraged at overbought levels, thinking that they have to go higher when everything is showing you signs of uncertainty. Everything except AI. But guess what? It's always the most speculative stocks that will crash the hardest when overall markets begin to fall. And again, today's just one day. You don't need to panic. But I wanted you to understand why there is so much uncertainty. And the biggest reason is because now more than ever, the Federal Reserve is likely to raise rates in the next FOMC meeting. I'll do my part in keeping you guys up to date. And like I said, I go live every morning with my LPP team for our live trading sessions. Right now, I am traveling like many of you guys know. I'm in Italy right now. So, I'm not going live, but it's lifetime access, so you can take advantage of the current sale we have going on. begin to review the course material. And when we do go uh live once again, I get back uh to the US later this week, you'll be able to tune on into those live sessions. So, don't miss out on the sale.
