based off 2 things
-debt ceiling deal (raised higher) could be signed by end of next week
-big funds are now starting to push the narrative that AI will improve company margins significantly while also saying 300 million jobs will be lost
you know the deal fire employees = stock up

This pump in everything was McCarthy after Biden press conference releasing statement "A debt-ceiling agreement by Sunday is doable"
I was watching the SP futures (ES) on lunch as it happened where they swept all the orders and pump from hell was on.
Biden is cutting G7 trip short coming back Saturday and there is now front running that before Sunday futures open they will announce deal.
Market biggest catalyst for down is debt ceiling not getting raised and default (odds of this are idiotic low and like legit impossible)
Remember we were told recession Q1/Q2 this year.
Than sky was falling.
Now they won't even let you get proper dip to buy.
NVDA crossed $300+
Market is still liquid believe it or not and its all in 5-6 select names lol.
PLTR looks good here. Crazy to say but interesting spot.

anyone own CHDN? Churchill Downs, a horse track operator. They're having a stock split this month. I dont own any but they've been going up exponentially since 2013. I always thought horse racing was a dying sport.

I want them to cook nvda to $320-330 before earnings.
Everyone now wants to rage short / buy puts on nvda.
Which is going to make this tricky for earnings.

Lemme know what you think you’ll shoot for and I’ll keep an eye out. I still haven’t looked at financials.

Buffet bought another $200m of OXY. Selling puts around $55 seems like a solid continuing bet.

Going to share my moonshot in here...
Rockhopper UK (RKH)
Has oil & gas licences in the Falkland Islands.
1. Israeli company Navitas Petroleum farmed in as operator of Sea Lion field and they have hired a COO from Murphy Oil to get the show on the road.
2. Won an arbitration case against Italy last year and are due ~200 million euros pending annulment decision in Q4 2024.
3. Other licences mean more exploration and potential for increasing contingent resources.
Lots of room for growth from the current price if the above things (especially 1) go in RKH favour.

Might be close to time boyos.
Fnma getting lots of support to be returned public. If they could convince the government to ease terms of release and their “ownership” they could raise capital going back to trading publicly. Still have no idea what it would mean for people who own otc common shares. I still believe my preferred share position would see a massive value gain once it seems remotely close to getting done.

MSFT = cash cow with fundamental growth drivers. The line always goes up and to the right with them and it won't change anytime soon (srs).
