ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ)

Sure hope the "deal" is legit. Will be nice if it is.

Big "deal" -- almost anything to keep the Indexes propped up.

The Trumpster does NOT want the Nasdaq selling down for very long. Realizing that will put money in your pocket trading T.

The goal is not to try to make as much as you can make ... but rather - make a profit with what you've got.

Obviously wrong question.

T reversed very nicely from early trading. NOW how high will they take it?

I can't help but wonder if much of that cash from the trillion and a half "Big beautiful bill" that got passed some months back isn't being funneled into places that keeps this market flying way PAST the moon?

"Peace agreement soon to be signed". WITH INVISIBLE INK.

83.86 TQQQ massive month 🚀

Sold half

Here's the way things REALLY work:

Nasdaq was purposely taken down the last two days so the "Fortunate" could load up on cheap shares. But all the while ... Nvidia earnings was in the forefront of savvy minds in how the game REALLY gets played.

Notice the Nasdaq began to turn through the night. Then this morning we're looking at a green Nasdaq. Now as the day progresses, it is slowly building green.

Nvida will release decent news after the close this evening and I'm betting the Nasdaq will ROAR UPWARDS all the way to the close tomorrow. Nvidia is the "poster child" of the Nasdaq. (Maybe Trump will try to talk Iran into buying Nvidia in exchange for the U.S. controlling the Goof of Hormult?)

What happens Friday in the Nasdaq? Depends on what Trump wants Bessent doing with it.

What chew talkin' 'bout there Willis ?

The positive story today is that diplomacy is gaining momentum, with Trump publicly optimistic, regional allies urging restraint, Iran still negotiating, and global markets responding favorably. $TQQQ

Picked up T shares earlier at $74.72. Just could never pass up a "Blue Light Special".

77.94 TQQQ huge gain boom 🚀

Okay - so here's my opinion. They crashed the Nasdaq this morning so they could buy it cheaper. Watch how high they run it once earnings reports come out the next couple of days.

TQQQ slowly on the rise.

Big tech earnings this week should help move the Nasdaq higher the optimists believe.

DAQ moving so high it's getting time to strap on an oxygen mask.

How gold and silver are viewed as hedges during geopolitical tension
The core idea:
Many analysts and investors argue that gold and silver act as strategic hedges during periods of geopolitical instability, including concerns about China’s military posture or broader global conflict risks. Their reasoning rests on how precious metals behave when trust in political stability, supply chains, or global markets weakens.

1. Gold and silver are not tied to any government
Commentators often point out that precious metals are outside the control of any single nation, which becomes especially important when tensions rise between major powers.

They aren’t dependent on central banks.

They aren’t vulnerable to sanctions.

They don’t rely on digital systems that could be disrupted in conflict.

This independence is why some investors treat them as a form of “neutral money.”

2. Historical behavior during conflict
Across many conflicts—whether in Europe, the Middle East, or Asia—analysts note that gold in particular tends to retain or increase its value when:

currencies weaken

trade routes are threatened

markets fear escalation

Silver, while more volatile, is often seen as a complementary hedge because it has both monetary and industrial demand.

3. Concerns about China’s geopolitical posture
Some geopolitical analysts argue that rising tensions involving China—such as military modernization, territorial disputes, or competition with the U.S.—create uncertainty in global markets.
Their argument is that:

disruptions to global manufacturing or shipping would ripple through the world economy

investors often move toward assets perceived as safe when uncertainty rises

gold and silver historically benefit from these “flight to safety” moments

This is not a prediction of conflict, but rather an explanation of why some people hedge.

4. Protection against currency instability
If geopolitical tensions affect global trade or weaken confidence in major currencies, precious metals are often viewed as a counterbalance.
Analysts highlight that:

gold and silver have no default risk

they tend to move inversely to declining currency confidence

they can act as long-term stores of value during inflation or sanctions-related disruptions

This is why they’re frequently used by central banks themselves.

5. Diversification during global uncertainty
Even outside of conflict scenarios, many financial advisors emphasize diversification.
Gold and silver are often included because they:

behave differently from stocks and bonds

can reduce portfolio volatility

historically perform well when geopolitical risk rises

This makes them appealing to people who want insulation from unpredictable global events. $TQQQ

As we wait for an earthquake to happen underneath the Hurmuz Gulf ... we can look back at our involvement in Vietnam. It took us 19 years to win that conflict, but win we DID!

How SO? Our goal of getting involved in the fist place was to keep North Vietnam from acquiring nuclear weapons. To this day, as far as we know, they STILL don't have them. Thus the U.S. succeeded in our goal, which is why we called all of our military personnel back to the U.S.

Need to buy some motion sickness med!

Great time to be trading T and Q. Just have to be on the right side of each trade.

Futures in deep red after the Trumpster's speech. Means we'll have a very green market by close tomorrow!

We'll be getting the Trump Pump Wednesday evening. Should be an up day during the day for T again.

Sold all S and bought T shortly after the market close. They might just put a pump on the Nasdaq going into this weekend, while Iran gets their butt kicked.

The Nasdaq has been overpriced now for months and months. Now share prices are coming down to more healthy valuations. Maybe they'll become BARGAINS once things bottom.

And STICKING with SQQQ until Iran runs out of missiles.

Parking in SQQQ for the foreseeable future. Dark storm clouds on the horizon.

💸 $TQQQ Inflation Concerns Are Back
Rising oil prices and broader inflation pressures are pushing investors toward metals as a hedge against currency devaluation.

Green futures this Sunday evening so things are looking UP for T tomorrow morning.

Went ahead and picked up shares at $44.74. Expecting the Mr. Trumpster to move the Indexes UP come Monday.

$45.60 pretty enticing price to buy.

Sold shares at $50.30. Not going to risk it.

Looking decent this early morning. Looking for $50 by the end of the day -- fingers crossed.

Looking for some upside on Wednesday 3-4.

Got to have a QUICK trigger finger playing the 3xQQQ's these days. Sleep on your position for very long when you've got a profit and you can kiss it goodbye faster than the price of meat keeps rising.

You have to be really stupid to say that out loud.

Looking for an UP week this week, barring the Trumpster making a public announcement that he is going to launch 100% tarrifs on the Democratic Party.

Paper trade the 3xQQQ's for a year. If you haven't made a decent return at the end of that year, you're not ready YET to put actual money to them: https://www.youtube.com/@NormRasmussen-w2x

Early indications are that the Nasdaq will have another good year.

As expected ... nothing about war with Venzi.

Will stay in cash to see how low they drop the Nasdaq.

Sold my T shares quickly at $49.83. Tucker Carlson quoted as saying the Trumpster is going to announce war with Venzi this evening. Not taking a chance. CASH IS KING!

Bought some T shares at $49.77. The Trumpster is having his nationwide broadcast this evening ... telling us how great the economy is doing. That means the NASDAQ will get pumped up tomorrow, I'm thinking.

Bought some T shares late Friday. Got my finger on the sell trigger early a.m. if need be. Major crap shoot IMO.

Probably just a little higher, but it is going higher.

Will a drop in interested rates tomorrow move the DAQ up a lot higher, or just a little higher?
