Stick to your plan. Anticipate, don't improvise. Trust no one. Never yield an advantage. Fight only the battle you're paid to fight..

It's going to be fascinating to see how this plays out. Buyers really need to step in and show some conviction, otherwise, I suspect we could be looking at a reversal sooner rather than later...

Place your bets!

The current price action on $TSLA isn't quite tallying up with the volume figures – definitely an interesting anomaly to watch. 🤔

The cult can only carry a stock so far. The big question is, when does it truly give?

Sooner rather than later I think....

$TSLA still looks like it's hitting a wall around this level. Remaining bearish here.

Hearing more whispers that even some of the 'true believer' cohort are starting to offload shares. With ongoing challenges in key markets like China adding to the pressure, reality seems to be catching up fast...

One thing's for sure: the markets are never wrong, opinions often are.

So, place your bets! What's your take?

The way these markets are behaving, given the current political and macroeconomic climate, is truly astonishing.

Feels like we're teetering on the edge of either a full-blown roaring 20s style melt-up or the mother of all bull traps. 📉📈

Okay, for QBTS, which to me really seems like the most probable quantum play to hit it big based on their actual product and solid fundamentals – this is where the rubber meets the road. Seeing a lot of potential here. If it can break past $14, it's absolutely game on! 🚀

Despite these positive indicators, some analysts suggest a cautious approach for investors. The company's premium valuation and the competitive nature of the market might mean it's prudent to hold the stock and look for a more opportune entry point.

Year-to-date, NU's stock has shown strong performance, gaining 23.8% and outperforming its industry. This growth is largely attributed to its digital-first approach and successful expansion efforts in Latin America, which are fueling customer acquisition.

Nu Holdings Ltd. (NU) is set to report its Q1 2025 earnings today, May 13th. Analysts are forecasting significant growth, with expected revenue of $3.5 billion (a 27.6% increase year-over-year) and earnings of 12 cents per share (a 33.3% jump).

Excellent risk / reward for those with a short bias.....

As always.... strong opinions, loosely held!

The Merchant Prince @themerchantprince.bsky.social · May 12

TSLA shorts..... Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon....

Big implications on the outcome between bulls and bears at this level.

Phew.

Payrolls grew a relatively uninteresting (and positive!) +177k in April, and unemployment was unchanged at 4.2%.

This economy is still humming along.

NOTE: This is a reading largely from the pre-tariff period. Still very foggy about what lies ahead.

If you know anything about how the newsroom of a major credible publication like the WSJ works. you know that the story about Tesla’s board exploring replacing Musk doesn’t see the light of day without 100% credible and backup sourcing. That can only mean one thing about Tesla’s and Musk’s denial.

At this point Trump is negotiating with himself 😮‍💨

Remarkable how Trump dealt himself the worst possible hand to negotiate w/ China.

1st card: Enacted tariffs that threaten to tank the economy
2nd: Backs China into a corner.
3rd: Makes fed incapable of responding
4th: Tanks markets, bonds and the dollar
5th: no end game, no plan
