Stock market is pumping today. And it doesn't matter if the Trump tweet isnt true. If Trump posts about peace and negotiations with Iran, you go LONG in the market. #stocks #investing #daytrading #options #futures

Transcript

Do you know how much money I've lost trying to time reversals off of a Trump tweet? I know it's BS. Now I don't care. When Trump tweets and he wants the market to go up, straight up, it's gonna go up. I ran wants to make a deal, every other day. Don't care. Market's gonna pump. I'm not gonna try to time puts just ride, just go calls. Don't overcomplicate it. Make your bag. And so this morning here at 9:44, we hopped into QQQ calls off of a slight pullback. And anyone with some common sense or half a brain knows that Iran is not in the US. There's no big deals going on. But if the tweet is false, then the pump is false. So I should go into puts. No. If Trump wants the market to go up, the market's going up. Don't overcomplicate it. Make your bag.
