In retrospect, BYND was a better short than CAR today. |

Well VRT getting killed in pre market… only marginally exceeded expectations… will see how the day plays out …commentary from company to come. May still get to D just going to take a longer time frame. [{{ VRT crushed p=287.75 on the way up, implying it will reach a minimum 342.70. Currently 312.44. RA }}} ] |

On the 60m, with A=335.02 on 4/15, CAR faces crucial resistance at p=774.19, about $9 above the top of yesterday’s spike. If it blows past it, the stock should be presumed bound for a minimum 979.10. Worth every penny to anyone who has been short since the stock last traded for fair value around, oh, $115. |

All the lunatic stocks are green in pre-opening trading, meaning Wall Street loves the indefinite cease-fire and no prospect of a settlement that would achieve any of Trump’s main objectives. World non-peace has broken out. On Wall Street too much of a bad thing is never enough, gold is garbage, and Bitcoin is precious. My focus will remain obsessively on the possibility of a bull-trap high. For ES, that would mean at D=7430.25 (daily, A=6019.50 on 5/23). It is currently stalled at p2=7161.00, but price action at p leaves little doubt the target will be achieved. |

Suddenly we have metals and stocks going up with oil? Yet we’re a tweet away from VP Vance boarding AF2 for Pakistan, oil crashes, stocks and metals rally. |

CAR – would not be surprised with the way these types of runs typically end that RA’s $979, i.e. just-under-$1k magnet, is a strong possibility. |

Wow Avis. Thnx so much. [{{ If you’ve stood in line for 90 minutes to rent a cigarette-scented Avis car at the airport, you already know what a great value the stock is at these prices. RA }} ] |

Bitcoin, currently 78,348, up $18k from the orchestrated low at 60,000.000, is going to at least 86,324, a midpoint resistance. If it gnaws through it with its rat’s teeth, it will be on its way not to new all-time highs, but merely to 112,648. |

The Buffett Indicator, which measures greed, is at an all-time-high 232%. It is calculated by dividing the value of U.S. stocks by GDP, with a reading of 100% considered balanced. The previous high was 219%, registered in 2021 at the height of the covid stock-mania. |
