So apparently, the S&P 500 could hit 10,000 and you could STILL lose money investing in an ETF built around that exact target. Sounds ridiculous, right? But that's actually a possibility with the new XX ETF. Here's how it works 👇 #XXETF #SP500

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Been thinking about how easy it is to make a trading strategy look good when you're testing it on data you've already seen. The more you adjust the rules to fit the past, the less you might be learning about the future. Anyone else test their setups on completely unseen data?

The G7 releasing 100M barrels sounds like the kind of number that should crush oil. Then you convert it to daily flow: roughly 820k bpd over four months. Useful supply, yes. But against a ~100M bpd global market, you can see why Brent didn’t suddenly collapse.
