Just catching up on the Eric Schmitt-Jack Smith spectacle. If the DNC can’t make a great election ad out of this, the leadership should be summarily fired. And Schmitt should resign from the Senate in shame. (He won’t.)

Agreed. As for ruling out a bubble: 1. Look at what a bubble looks like. Is this even remotely close? (technicals) 2. Look at fundamentals to supplement the technicals.
Technicals. No current Nasdaq bubble.Fundamentals. No current Nasdaq bubble.

I've looked at hundreds of charts a day for many years. The chart says the $QQQ will beat $SPY going forward, unless we pull back into the box. And it looks nothing like a bubble... not one iota. By the way, I tend to be extremely conservative. I save this type of talk for rare occasions.

You're also looking at the fact that today's NASDAQ looks absolutely nothing even remotely close to a bubble. You have a huge basing pattern with an inverted Head and shoulders, a measured move much higher, a fake out, then a real breakout, then a test of the breakout, now a surge higher.

I got bad news for the guy. I was looking at charts this weekend and saw the most bullish chart I've ever seen, and it was for the NASDAQ 100. It was a ratio chart, so it could just be that the s&p drops more than the NASDAQ, but the NASDAQ 100 has a great ratio against the SP500 going forward.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Ponder the unimaginable pain of being brainwashed into being a Republican voter and having that destroy your life. We see it everywhere: from the farmers about to lose it all, to the people who don't want a data center in their backyard only to have the GOP fast-track data centers.

As we wrote back in February 2025, both the Biden and Trump administrations paid for subscriptions to Politico. But on Sept. 18, President Donald Trump falsely claimed the media outlet was “bailed out” by the Biden administration "from going out of business."

Polymarket: Democrats are now favored to take back the Senate (60% probability) and the House (90% probability) in the midterm elections, the highest odds to date. That explains why Republicans are so desperate to cheat and steal this election. Will they succeed?
