📈 Market Outlook & Strategy

  • Patience is key: $COMPQ is below 10/21/50ma’s and testing 100ma, indicating a wait-and-see for setups. $SPX shows a similar pattern 引用1.
  • Expect chop until March; the 2026 Midterms, influenced by Trump, will drive volatility. A deeper market pullback is anticipated, with Q4 poised for a rally. The April-May window is critical for positioning 引用2.
  • Trump’s rhetoric, predicting Dow Jones at 100,000 “soon” and $2,000 tariff stimulus checks without Congressional approval, presents a bullish case for assets 引用15.
  • Market sentiment relieved by Trump’s non-military stance, deflating extreme geopolitical risks concerning Greenland and NATO 引用14.
  • No VIX bounce-back after one hour confirms a clear alert signal 引用11.

💼 Corporate & Sector Dynamics

  • Energy is profoundly under-owned, mirroring the mining industry’s pre-boom phase. We remain exceptionally early in the broader hard-assets trend 引用3.

  • The $LMND-$TSLA partnership, with 50% lower insurance pricing for FSD users, is a strategic win-win. $LMND leverages AI for market entry, easing $TSLA owners’ high premium burden 引用7. $LMND’s management vision and execution, delivering this collaboration in “a couple of months,” is significantly underestimated 引用10.
  • $INTC’s rally past $39 defies previous expectations of chasing; Lip-Bu Tan could be Intel’s “Lisa Su,” signaling a turnaround 引用8.

Further positive news is anticipated 引用16.

  • Ryanair’s CEO encourages Elon Musk to invest, positioning the airline as a premier aviation opportunity. However, EU aviation ownership regulations, requiring majority EU control, prevent a full acquisition 引用13.

🏛️ Macro & Policy Dynamics
