The biggest stock market rally of the year had nothing to do with peace, the news, or anything else you were told. Wall Street lied to you.
On April 8th, the S&P ripped 2.5%, the Nasdaq jumped almost 3%, and the Dow had its best day in a year. Every financial outlet called it a “relief rally” on the back of the Iran ceasefire.
But the truth is, this was not a relief rally.
In this video, I’ll break down:
• Why hedge funds were selling at the fastest pace in 13 years
• How a short squeeze actually works
• The $86B of forced buying that compressed into five trading sessions
• How commodity trading advisors and options dealers turned a squeeze into a full-blown melt-up
• Why this exact pattern in the stock market keeps repeating

i feel they are gaining from this war stuff
Is this AI slop?
very informative video for all the people interested.
look man I get that you're a libertarian zoomer fin-bro and all but maybe you should stop referring to your central bank, the national institution most singlularly vital to the continued existence of your country, as "Jerome Powell's money printer" because it really undercuts your otherwise quite serious economic analysis, just saying dawg
nice video
Nice
Keep digging to find sound money is a solution
truthsocialis just a mastodon. fediverse reskin.
Don't honey orange boi
Oh so that's why it's so predictable lately?
i have a simpler reason: if dollar gets weaker, the counterpart gets stronger. In other word, it’s not sp500 to rise but the dollar to lose. And apart from that markets are extremely manipulated, there’s no way oil is still at 80$ a barrel after 3 months of closed strait
Nice to watch an informative video!
46 or 96? Thats a 4
@CasuallyFinance can you do a video explaining Gamma and dealers being delta neutral. @6:30
If Negative Gamma shows up above where the price is does that mean the market will always move up toward it? or does price have to get to where the negative gamma is for the price to keep going up?
Where is your channels adds😂
I like how you said "rules based models". Sounds an awful lot like the British Imperial catch phrase "rules based order" which you've probably heard a lot considering the circles you run in 🤮
Just my opinion: a lot around this war looks like insider stock manipulation to me.
There is a lot of money in war. You just have to understand the why and how things happen. If you know the why and know how the military acts upon things like this you can see where the money is coming from, where the money is going, and where to put your money so you get a piece of the pie.
stocks are even more high now
If it only was the short squuueeez why are we still up?
Stock market is wealth transfer to the patients
nice
7:50 thats the edge
U can never explain a markt.. only mlre bought up or more sold down that moment / over that time end.
I know ita btc, stacking heavy for 3 years straight
The stock market
thanks so much for this level of insight, for the neutrality and backing comments with data. Rare, highly valued!
Wars are ALWAYS paid for by inflations. ALWAYS. So anyone not an idiot knows to go to 100% stocks or lose everything, AND, SOON.
All we need to do is to frontrun the Algo.
That was really helpful. Great channel
You absolutely cannot trust any financial talking head. At least, you should not. I listen to Warren Buffet. That’s about it.
Its nice to hear a clear eyed take on index funds. They break the feedback loop of investment by removing the need to think. Number always go up, don't worry! And it creates a really bullshit winmore system that makes it harder for companies to compete. I hate this system. Its provably unstable.
Exactly the opportunity for us retail investors
A lot of losers in these comments. Yes the people at the top make more in the market but that doesn't change the fact that consistent investing over decades has made more ordinary working class people millionaires than any method in the US. The trick is that you actually have to put money into it. The minimum amount you need to invest is pretty low, time and compounding does the heavy lifting but most of ya'll can't see past paying out the ass for someone to delivery your McDonald's and shit to your front door.
.. in other words, it's GME at a macro level.
Who's gonna be left holding the bag when it all collapses?
stocks are even more high know
If you wrote up on your own and not with chatgpt, the video would be much less ironic
debit spreads ftw 5:34
2:52 he sounds like Nile red
Okay Ive watched a ton of your videos and tons of other investing and finance vids, but apparently not enough. Because I think I need a dictionary for this one hahahahahahahah or a translator

What a fail for us, we're never goig to win
Nice
Great video
This is fascinating stuff to be honest!
such a gd video
How can I as a retail profit from this that's the question
Exactly! I don't know why people keep moaning about wars being bad. They're genuinely great for stocks. Thanks to all these wars, I will retire in luxury. The people who died along the way were poor so weren't going to have good lives anyway. It's so refreshing to find people in these comments who agree with me that stocks matter more than people 🤜🤛 I'm going to buy my 2nd cottage in two years, here's to good times! 🥂
