MAGA
Point Bridge America First ETF
stock BATS ETF

ask for Obama to be present. Watch how MAGA implodes lol

It may be for the best. There are approx 22,000 ICE agents and approx 46,000 TSA agents.
If he does this it 1)Gets ICE off our streets and into a legit. job. & 2) Gives TSA agents time to do other things to bring in money.
Sucks for everyone traveling though. But you can lay all this chaos directly at the feet of MAGA who continue to insist this dementia addled fool is a genius.

I mean, he's completely fucked over the entire Republican party.
My theory is that he's been a deep cover Dem set out to destroy the Republican party ever since he changed parties.
It's the only way I can make sense of this administration and MAGA in general.

Whelp, after reading that *deal* I figure we are going to be at war for a few years. If there’s one good thing to come out of this, it’s that my MAGA neighbor took his Trump signs down.

Ever since the war is started...the 10yrs US treasury interest went up 0.5%, and still going up it looks. It translates to approx $500B/year in increased interest payment, on the $39T debt. Another 0.5% increase would be a disaster, they need to find a solution, imo he doesn't have any leverage. He is making all these stunts for his MAGA base as if he is tough / strong macho man...but inside they know they are screwed if there is a slowdown / recession as oil price goes up, Iran continues doing what they do keep Trump checked.
Also he is self observed narcist...he like to see the world burn, before he goes down.

Average MAGA voter. “I dont understand politics but boy do i have opinions” 🥴

And MAGA beta-cucks will ask you, "where is YOUR humanity", while simultaneously holding Zero standards for their false god.

MAGA voters will go to hell, I seriously think. Not enough that they lost their business. They will still vote for MAGA thugs.

I'm really not so sure. He's testing limits, and then backing off and declaring victory. It's a rinse and repeat cycle for him.
I think they have this theory of just doing things and seeing what the consequences are, but then backing off when things get too hot. Greenland he's already backed off of, I don't think that happens again. Maybe there's more threats and rhetoric sure, but it's just words not action.
That's why he's pushing so hard now, but I believe he's running out of gas and he knows it. Gas in this case being MAGA/GOP will to support him. Part of the reason why Greenland went nowhere (it was literally just bluster and talk) was because Senate Republicans had no stomach for it. They stopped him behind the scenes.
Cuba could also just be a threat at this point. He's not actually going to do it because all of his other actions have proven too hot, his party could be losing their stomach for it and we're getting too close to the midterms. If there's a reason why his threats and action are so hot right now it's because of that, he knows his window is short. He needs to get things done before the midterms. After the midterms his strategy will be forced to change, he won't have a congress rubber stamping his actions anymore.

Yes. 2022 was a massive drawdown. But all those bear markets tend to be temporary.
I did sell stagnant equities and used that to buy more positions in FNGU, SOXL, NVDL.
I did not take enough profits at the peak, due to the capital gains liability, probably it would have doubled my yearly income. But that in retrospect was a mistake.
Still I think tech and semiconductors have room to run. I think TSMC is not going anywhere. Maybe NVDA competitors will catch up.
Apple seems to have reached a plateau, and probably NVDA will soon.
Trump has temporarily loosened the restrictions on Iran. It could be a signal that he does want to eventually find a way out. The 5000 marines shipped to the area is not enough for a ground war, or even occupying the strait of Hormuz.
China is also heavily invested in the US dollar, so I doubt there would be a conflict in the near or medium term, it’s mostly posturing.
Trump appointed a new Fed chair to lower interest rates, but the Iran operation goes against that. The republicans and the MAGA show to be very fractured on the issue. So I am betting on backpedaling on Iran. Otherwise I would buy gold or oil ETFs.
I know that QQQM seems to outperform QQQI. I know SCHD is a very safe and tax efficient fund.
I think the leveraged tech ETFs have room to grow. USD 2x is pretty good, but 20% of kr is NVDA. Maybe they will rebalance.
I bought small quantities of SPMO, MTUM, SCHG, GPIQ, GPIx, XQQI, XSPI, IDVO and SCHY. I want to track their performance for the next year and see what I feel more comfortable with.
I know selling shares of QQQM is an option rather than dividend income from QQQI. but I want to see if 1.5x XQQI may be best of both worlds.
After all 2x QLD outperforms QQQ in most back tests in the past 10 years. I find 1.5 leverage acceptable, as risk/reward balance.
Of course if I had enough saved up, SCHD would be the perfect solution as core holding.
But SPMO, SCHG, XQQI offer more upside potential. SPMO actually is not actively managed but seems great. I am also keeping an eye on GRNY, actively managed. FMTM, I have looked into it, but it’s being liquidated at the end of the month

It’s so funny to hear people use the stock price as proof that there’s no manipulation going on, as if that’s not literally the outcome of manipulation.
This is what you all sound like - How dumb can you be to think that the price has been manipulated, when the price looks exactly what it would look like if it was being manipulated?
no wonder MAGA was so easy to get a foot hold, there’s an endemic lack of media literacy in America.

MAGA went from "live free or die" to "I can get the boot past my tonsils" in record time.

It’s wild to see. Every other company has just rolled over for this shit and it’s not even economically advantageous to align with MAGA.

Lmao, I almost followed up with, “people who don’t know how to read?” In my original comment, but you are actually hitting on an even better point. Although it still does make me wonder, do they not read history books because they don’t know how to read?
Either way, it’s pretty clear the MAGA asshats attack on education is working in their favor.

Whats sad is that the war isnt even the reason gas prices have gone up. Its 100% the gas/oil companies taking advantage of the situation & inflating prices just to make a couple extra billion dollars. This has been a problem that has been happening for years. It happened during Bush, Obama, & Biden (yal remember the "Biden did that" stickers). Hell the guy even said himself that when the terrifs went into place the suppliers up their prices, but when the terrifs got rolled back the prices stayed the same. Corporatations take advantage of tragedy & chaos. Welcome to late stage capitalism.
Also its crazy how one sided this thread is. This isnt a Left vs. Right issue. This is a Them Vs. Us. Doesnt matter who they or you voted for, these poor fishermen who work hard & honest for a living are being affected by the state of the world so bad that they are being forced to leave an industry that they have been apart of for generations.
Of course its easy to make fun of someone who is getting negative affects from voting for the guy you didnt like but not all Republican voters are MAGA & those people voted for what they felt would be best for them, their family & values.
We need to go back to understanding or atleast acknowledging other peoples perspectives & not get stuck in the echo chambers of one sided conversations.

Republican MAGA Americans are xenophobic ignorant dumbfucks. You can delete one of those adjectives but two will definitely always apply.

Naw. Fuck that. He was a MAGA POS.

It's gonna happen but likely not on Trump's watch. Just like Putin openly admitted he didn't invade Ukraine while Trump was in office. Taking action in Venezuela was strategic and absolutely will pay off for us. Iran might be the same. Just think of how China will go if Newsome, Cortez, or Harris is running the show, complete disaster. Trump might be crazy but other powerful countries leaders respect him. They will have no such respect for pussies like Newsome or pretty much any other Democrat. All the front runners for the left are losers and total pussies. If they could find someone that actually isn't a complete beta, I'd at least consider the possibility. When the left now considers people like Tulsi Gabbard MAGA, they've lost all hope. I'd vote for Fetterman, love that dude, he's real and for the people. I've really come to respect that guy, hoodie and all.

Listen I'm not for MAGA but did those car rallies or boat rallies harm anything or slow down people's productivity? Were any cities burned? Was there any looting, theft, and violence?
The only group that I see doing that are leftists. They love to burn shit down, stand in the street in people's way, have No Kings rallies which are simply idiotic, and cry like little babies every chance they get. As you said, Trump and Republicans will likely get demolished in the midterms, and I agree, and therefore it looks like we don't have a King in power. If we did, we'd be a monarchy and protesting anything would likely result in nothing changing at best and death at worst.
America will be fine, our Constitution is the best anywhere, and it's what keeps things in check. Trump's going for broke this term and is likely screwing it for people like Vance or Rubio who would be way more reasonable. We'll end up with another lost cause weak Democrat like Newsome or Harris, the borders will be reopened for illegals again, we'll be footing the bill for them once again, China will invade Taiwan, Russia will move into Europe, and you guys will be happy once again.

You really enjoy cherry picking when it serves your agenda..."marching stupidly in the streets"?? Charlottesville ring a bell ? What about those 'stupid' Trump car rallies where all across the country MAGAts organized and drove around interstate beltways looking like the morons that they are? Similar boat rallies, too? Guess it's okay to engage in 1A rights only if MAGAts do it (can't even call you conservatives anymore). Just think of these No Kings marches and protests that continue all across America as reminders of the significant portion of Americans that have utter contempt for MAGA, Trump and the anti-democratic tendencies they embody...and that Trump only won by a plurality of the vote. Mid terms are coming...and Trump's poll numbers are in the dumps. Enjoy!
