I was thinking long term so I’ll buy it back, the semies are getting killed. FINALLY its like the dot com bubble. There are plenty of etfs that go good long term. Did you look at SOXL long? Below Gareth Soloway updates. Geez now SOXS is up 11.4%.
I knew that would happen….I was thinking later that both have had extreme moves and with triple leverage and even a small pull back in the SM, they would have big moves……where as I was thinking long term……
Its up 10% today. Look at the semiconductor list, 90% of them are down. You have to click on the % Change spot to align them up. I’ll probably buy it back.
Oil up 5%, dollar up (but mostly recovering from yesterday’s pull back), rates up 3 bips.
I guess that’s a good enough reason to trash pm’s.
As deer79 mentions, they’ll trash it before during and after if they can, because that’s always been the game.
Looks like shares go back and test the lows yet again. I love pm’s. Even in a parabolic move they go down half the time. In corrections like this they go down 98% of the time. Not a lot of joy to be had here.
Military caught mixing aluminum, barium, strontium in jet fuel by former USAF bio environmental engineer who they threatened to throw her in a mental hospital for 6 months. I can suspect if they did and could get a corrupt doctor they would zombie her with drugs and or endangered her with aggressive violent patients or tried to suicide her.
Yep it is changing and some of that oil buying is going to move to the US in US dinero. Heads up Texas and Alaska.
Japan now going to buy oil from the US
+5
As of April 2026, Japan is actively importing U.S. crude oil and planning increased purchases to secure energy supplies as Middle East alternatives become necessary due to Strait of Hormuz disruptions. This shift involves rising imports from Texas, a major $36B investment in U.S. oil/gas projects, and potential Alaskan production to bypass high-risk maritime routes.

Key Details on Japan-US Oil Relations:
Arrival of Supplies: The first shipment of alternative U.S. crude arrived in Japan on April 26, 2026, intended for refineries.
Increased Volume: Japan’s crude oil imports from the U.S. are expected to quadruple year-on-year in May 2026, as reported by News On Japan.
Strategic Shift: This move reduces reliance on the Middle East, with plans to secure 60% of May’s required oil from alternative sources including the U.S..
Investments: Japan has committed to significant, long-term energy investment in the U.S., including projects in Alaska.
Emergency Measures: Due to tightening supply, Japan is utilizing national reserves and increasing imports from the U.S. to ensure stability.
they both are very over extended,,,as is the the Mkt….so trading against the move looks tempting…..but when you read Aufevers post about how strong the real economy is, I would not fight the economy……
Has any economy ever had so many smart self made people running it, as opposed to amateur fools, which most countries get…..
Don’t forget the double/triple ETF’s don’t give you overnight gaps…only what is made that day…so if a stock closes at 10, opens next day at 15 and closes at 20, you only get 5 pts not 10 !!!!!
Out of a list of about 68 of them, only a few of them are up today. Friday I bought 200 shares of the short times three semi etf, SOXS, and its up 6.21% now. I’m wondering if I should sell it or double up on the shares.

re: AFD They can’t take over soon enough! Will it be too late?
Yeah I agree. Big pharma must hate Trump, he’s cutting into their profits. RFKjr is a breath of fresh air. Many of the vaccines are totally worthless if not harmful.
No autism amongst the Amish who don’t take any!
Many is his base feel betrayed by Trump admin rulings that allow Glyphosate to still be sprayed on crops.
Talking of Trump hate…I wonder if it is not being stirred by Big Pharma, as well…Trump put in RFK Jr and he is making their life hell, to the extent they will never recover…Big Pharma is the largest advertiser in the US MSM, so can pull v big strings……that is of course along with the Dems etc…..but the criticism is relentless, even when he is doing something that no person should object to, like stopping Child Trafficking.
Germany’s Merz Says US ‘Humiliated’ By Iranians & Trump Lacks Strategy, Exit Plan
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in a rare moment torched US foreign policy and the Trump administration’s Iran war gambit. There’s been plenty of criticism out of Europe since Operation Epic Fury kicked off on February 28, but Merz’s Monday words are especially direct and scathing.
He proclaimed that Iran’s leadership was embarrassing the US, claiming it was prompting US officials to travel to Pakistan and then return without achieving any outcome. “The Iranians are obviously very skilled at negotiating, or rather, very skillful at not negotiating, letting the Americans travel to Islamabad and then leave again without any result,” he said.
The top German official made the remarks before students in the town of Marsberg. His sharpest attack came in the following: “An entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, especially by these so-called Revolutionary Guards. And so I hope that this ends as quickly as possible.”
