Nasdaq futures are up 1%. Nasdaq composite has fallen for four straight Mondays in weeks that ultimately closed in the upper half of ranges. If we could actually build on the end-of-week momentum...

The Nasdaq finished the week strong amid a rate hike, 5% yields and triple witching. Oil prices fading helped. But the Nasdaq finished strong the prior week, only to fall back. The Nasdaq has finished high-ish in its weekly range for the last four weeks. 1/ www.investors.com/market-trend...

Hungary's opposition coalesced around Magyar, a conservative/populist and former Orban ally, because the parties decided that beating Orban trumped everything else. There's a lesson there for Democrats.

Suffice to say, there's a wide range of market outcomes between an Iran deal on Monday or "hell" on Tuesday. So while a rally attempt is underway, patience is key. But a follow-through day could happen soon, and many top stocks are showing strength. www.investors.com/market-trend...

FWIW - Bitcoin initially tumbled on the U.S.-Iran attacks but has reversed higher as Trump said Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has likely been killed, corroborating several reports citing Israeli or U.S. officials. A Dow futures indicator, off >1% at one point, is now flat.

Tesla bulls made the argument that eliminating the IRA tax credit (and emissions fines // ZEV credits) would help Tesla by discouraging traditional OEMs from making EVs. There are HUGE downsides to Tesla losing those credits -- but there are some upsides.

Trump's comments were repulsive, even by his standard. Not much to add on that. I'll just note that Gen X grew up with Rob Reiner's "Spinal Tap," "Princess Bride," "Stand By Me," "When Harry Met Sally," "Misery" and "A Few Good Men." So, good way to turn off the most pro-Trump generation.

The major indexes reclaimed their 50-day lines early Thursday as Nvidia initially jumped, but then reversed sharply lower. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 undercut their Oct. 10 lows. Bitcoin (IBIT ETF here) tumbled to a fresh seven-month low. Investors should have limited exposure. 1/

A Tesla earnings call tidbit, or lack thereof. For a second straight call, Tesla didn't mention the "unboxed" manufacturing process. Unboxed, w/the goal of halving production costs, is key for the Cybercab. Elon Musk did say Cybercab production starts in Q2 2026. www.investors.com/news/tesla-e...
