📈 Nasdaq breaks all records

The Nasdaq’s market cap relative to the US money supply (M2) has reached 176%. This means the index is now almost twice the size of all liquid money in the economy.

Key points:

🟡 The ratio is 45 points above the Dot-Com Bubble peak in 2000
🟡 Market cap relative to US GDP is at 129%, almost double the Dot-Com era
🟡 Stock prices have never outpaced money supply growth by this much

This is not just an overextension. It is a signal that liquidity and valuations are completely out of sync. The last time we saw something close to this, it did not end quietly.

The question is no longer if it unwinds, but how violently.

One main difference between the professional trader and the amateur trader is not their strategy, system, psychology, and etc.

But just knowing when to trade and when not to.

📈 Inside Bar Strategy explained

An inside bar forms when a candle trades fully within the high and low of the previous one. It shows that the market has paused after a move, with buyers and sellers waiting before the next push. This pause often builds energy for a breakout.

🟡 The strongest signals come after momentum candles in a clear trend or when price tests major support or resistance

🟡 A buy stop above the inside bar high or a sell stop below its low lets you enter only if price confirms direction

🟡 Stop loss is placed just beyond the other side of the bar so risk is defined and controlled

🟡 Targets can be set using fixed reward-to-risk ratios, nearby levels, or trailing stops to capture extended moves

The inside bar is not a magic signal on its own. It works best when combined with market context - trend direction, levels, and volume. Used this way, it becomes a simple but powerful tool to catch clean moves.

📉 Palantir insiders are cashing out

In 2025, Palantir executives have sold more than $1B worth of stock while buying just $1.2M.

Recent filings show heavy selling from the CTO and Chief Revenue Officer, with multiple block disposals above $150 per share.

When insiders rush for the exit while the chart looks vertical, it usually means one thing: they know how rich this move already is.

🥇 Gold at ATHs, but not like 2011

Gold is printing new all-time highs, yet relative to the S&P 500 it’s nowhere near the explosive levels seen in the 2008–2012 cycle.

Perspective matters, price alone doesn’t tell the full story.

✅ Charlie Munger’s investing checklist

Charlie Munger was Warren Buffett’s long-time partner at Berkshire Hathaway and one of the sharpest thinkers in investing. He built his success on a set of principles that stayed consistent for decades.

🟡 Risk: always demand a margin of safety and never confuse luck with skill

🟡 Allocation: put real capital to work only when the odds are clearly in your favor

🟡 Patience: compounding takes time but it is the strongest force in finance

🟡 Independence: think for yourself and avoid following the crowd

🟡 Humility: stay inside your circle of competence and admit mistakes quickly

🟡 Preparation: read widely, build mental models, and be ready when opportunity comes

Munger’s checklist is a reminder that successful investing is not about constant action.

It is about discipline, clear thinking, and the willingness to wait until the right moment to act with conviction.

💵 Another $100B in T-bills hits the market

The U.S. Treasury is auctioning a record $100B in 4-week bills this week. Every sale pushes supply higher, and demand is being tested as deficits balloon.

🟡 Federal debt is now approaching $40T
🟡 The annual deficit is running near $2T
🟡 Short-term issuance is breaking records month after month

This is the quiet engine of markets: constant refinancing of short-term debt. It keeps liquidity moving today but compounds rollover risk tomorrow. The bigger the stack of bills, the more sensitive the system becomes to shifts in rates or demand.

Short-dated Treasuries may look “risk-free” on the surface, but they are also the canary in the fiscal mine.
