Truth Social reaches a tricky milestone. Will Donald Trump cash out his stake?-NPR

"The stock price of Truth Social is like his crowd size," said professional investor Matthew Tuttle, in a reference to Trump's ongoing fixation with the attendance at his rallies and other campaign events.
"He's not going to want to see the stock price go down. And if he sells, it is going to do down," says Tuttle, who runs the investment firm Tuttle Capital Management, and who used to trade the Trump Media stock personally.

Recap

Wednesday was buy the rumor and sell the news of a 50bp cut. Yesterday was the realization that the Fed put is back. Seeing some profit taking this morning and we have triple witching today, so ought to be volatile. Personally, have a ton of options that expire today that I need to do something with.

Traders brace for volatility as more than $5 trillion in options set to expire in latest ‘triple witching’-MarketWatch

It’s not the biggest quarterly expiration on record, but it’s still pretty large

Note last night from Jefferies on AI energy needs.....

The International Energy Association (IEA) believes AI/datacentres will be 2.6% of global power demand by 2026 from 1.7% in 2022.  
Electricity demand from data centres is, forecast to rise at around 16% CAGR, while also potentially boosting renewable deployment.

On the importance of ASML.....

Front-end leading edge equipment is therefore just as important in reducing power consumption
This is where the tools of semicap suppliers ASML and ASM International come into play.
On the one hand, ASML’s lithography machines are a key enabler of transitioning to smaller node sizes since they use a UV laser to draw the transistor’s blueprint onto a wafer.
The company has developed its tools over time to enable continuous node shrink – and therefore Moore’s Law – with their leading tool son sale today using EUV to facilitate 3nm transistor width.

They have a report entitled : Data Centers & AI: Powering the Future.

They mention a bunch of global names, most have been on a run. Copper is one area that they talk about as a need from data centers. Some of those names look a bit more interesting.

Looks interesting here, nice little double bottom.

The also mention AR as a name providing AI power generation.

AR would be more interesting if it can break above the 200 day.

If you would like a copy of the report send me a DM.

The Most Surprising New Gun Owners Are U.S. Liberals-WSJ

But this summer, the liquor store clerk in Iowa City, Iowa, for the first time in his life bought a gun. Apprehension about street crime, armed right-wing extremists, and “whatever else the world could possibly throw at us,” drove his decision.

and the weight loss drugs. If this creates weakness I'd be a buyer.....

The Price War in Weight-Loss Drugs Is Here-WSJ

Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk NOVO.B -0.07%, the pharmaceutical heavyweights selling the popular injections, are each dangling discounts to gain an edge and to induce health plans to pay up. The concessions are slashing as much as half off the price tags of the $1,000-plus-a-month medicines.
