Foreign hey guys, Carlos Cortez here with another episode of Scriptures in Wall street. Wanted to say Happy fourth. If you’re watching this, hope you are enjoying time with your family and our God given beautiful country and all your rights that our four founders fought for so that you may enjoy your freedom. We live in a beautiful, beautiful country. Regardless of its state. It’s still better than any other country out there. Oh man, I hear the stories, I hear the stories of of just other countries and what they had to do and people are still flocking to the usa.

Speaking of immigration and flocking, we really need a huge reform. There is a lot of, there’s, you know, it reminds me of immigration is like interest rates. So the interesting about, about that basically comparison is that if you lower interest rates. Yes, it’s easier for you and I. We don’t have to spend 20 on fresh squeezed orange juice. Especially here in Florida. You get cheaper gas prices, you get better postage on your stamps, you get better rates on your mortgages and your credit cards. It’s great. Consumer wise, it’s great from a business standpoint. However, the downside, lowering interest rates, other countries, other foreign investors, which primarily hold our Treasuries, by the way, they are not getting the yield.

They’re not making the money as much as they used to. So they’ll pull out, sell our bonds, cause a massive crisis in our financial markets and it just, the economy stops because they can get a yield somewhere else even better and more stable. And it doesn’t help that we’ve been downgraded as a country. It doesn’t help all the negative GDPS that we’re seeing. And I’m here to tell you, man, like come, come the end of this summer, we could, we could have another negative GDP number that absolutely manifest. And if that number is negative, then we are in a full blown recession.

Now, it’s not a secret. You’ve seen your local metropolitan area, you’ve seen all the storage units pop up around where you’re driving. You’ve seen the homes explode in inventory. And you ask any realtor, any big city here in America, how many homes have you sold this year or last year? And they can count basically on one hand how much they’ve sold. It is completely down. So this brings a huge, huge situation. Now immigration is the same way. Many people would disagree with me. For those of you that are curious, my father is from Nicaragua. My mom’s Puerto Rico.

From Puerto Rico. Ponte Puerto Rico. He came here legally. He actually served our country. He served Our country and got papers, which was pretty amazing. And actually what ended up happening is when his visa was up, he applied. He went back to Nicaragua and applied for his citizenship because he married my mother. And obviously he came over here on a student visa during this time and he enlisted in the army. And I get a little emotional because I am an army brat. And people don’t realize. People don’t realize, like, growing up military, that their dad literally is willing.

Willing to die for you, for. Die for the country. To die for your freedom, to die a heroic act and is like the most beautiful thing, but also very scary for a little boy. And I went to school with all these little boys that their parents died during Desert Storm. Whether you feel that it was a pointless war or not, the bravery that it takes to hold that flag, that red, white and blue, it is literally the most spiritual and most beautiful thing. Just a glimpse of God’s love for us, even though. Even though we are sinners, even though at many times we don’t even deserve it.

The flag represents God’s promise to us that he gave us a land. He gave us a land where we have the freedom to worship him. We have the freedom to do our own free will, whether it’s good or bad. And I think we forget that. I honestly think that we forget to go down to our basics. And so, yeah, I have a market update for you, but I really, honestly, I just want to pray. I just want to pray for our country, if that’s okay. I know people watch me all over and they want stock tips and we’ll get to that.

We’ll get to options and. And the cool stuff to make money stuff. But when you have it, you don’t need to show it. When you have it, you don’t really care for it anymore. When you have it and you know how to make. Just changes your whole aim. Like, I don’t need to make any more money. Do I want to. Absolutely. Do I want to teach? Yes. But my aim literally is that our country gets back to its knees. My aim is that if you’re listening to this, that you have a faith. A faith so big that no matter what comes your way, you can always go to Jesus and acknowledge that he is your ultimate provider.

He is the ultimate sacrifice. It is a spirit that forever, forever makes me want to seek his face. The fact that the Jewish and the Romans killed him. They stepped over him, they urinated on him. They. They did all this stuff to him. And here we are throwing hate on everybody, throwing hate on Every, every culture. Let me tell you something. If you have hate in your heart, you cannot enter the kingdom. There is no hate on scriptures on Wall Street. I don’t care what network this plays on, there is no hate here. So please do not call my office and say, why are you doing business with the Muslims? Why are you doing business with the Jews? Why are you doing business? I could give a flip what you think.

There is no hate here. I don’t need your business, I value it. But there is no hate here. And if that’s you, I personally don’t want to do business with you. I only want to do business with God fearing people. Doesn’t matter what walks of life. But if you fear the Lord and your name is written in the book of life, I would love to help you. But we do not want to do business with hateful, evil people. And you can comment all you want, that’s okay. You know, look up Jesus online, see what they say about him.

My name’s been through the mud lately because of a crypto scam I was involved in four years ago. And it’s actually one of my strong, strong stories is part of my testimony. Yes, I was involved in a crypto fraudulent scheme. Oh, holy cow. I recommended a fund that actually turned bad. And it wasn’t green money, it was pure red money. We knew the risk going in and recently it’s been surfacing on the Internet. Carlos is a fraudster. Carlos is this, Carlos is that. He’s a spic Jew. He’s this and that. And I kind of laugh at it because as we settled these things, I actually personally took responsibility and made our clients whole.

And so if your advisor actually loses you money, what are he, Is she going to do? Are they going to take responsibility? Are they going to own up to it? Are they actually going to do something to help you and make it right? Well, that’s proven and documented here. Because I do know one thing. There’s a victim mindset and there’s a responsibility mindset. And once you realize, hey, I want to take more responsibility, hey, I. I want to own up to my mistakes in my mindset, in my greed, in my marriage, in my business and my children and my parental skills, I want to own up to it.

The infidelity issues, the affairs, the alcohol, the cheating, whatever it is, I want to own up to it. The mistakes, all the mistakes. Because you know why? There’s freedom in that? There’s actually freedom and freedom in ripping up the band aid. Because we cannot love Christ if we’re not vulnerable to the cross. And when you are, you will just completely shine. There will be such an attraction on you that people cannot stop talking about you. Whether it’s good or bad. You will be literally salt and light to this earth. They were like, man, what’s wrong with that dude? What’s wrong with that chick? She doesn’t drink, he doesn’t smoke, they don’t go out, they don’t do that.

They’re weird. They’re just weird. God just wants to know your heart and he just wants to, just wants to be one with it. And honestly, I just been so disgusted with all the, with all the stereotypes and the hates and then you, and then, then you want to say, yeah, you love God or you love Jesus. No, you don’t. There is no, there is no hate in loving the cross ever. There’s some things that you may have some, some stereotypes and some prejudiceness, but we need to get our mindset right. In order for you to get out of this rut, you have to acknowledge what is wrong with you in the first place.

There is something that in your childhood that you picked up something and now it may be a blind spot, but we all see it. And I don’t know who I’m talking to. I’m just talking freely because I don’t take notes, guys. I just speak from the heart every single episode for the past four years. Not a note taker. I’ll go to the charts for my notes. I’ll go to Yahoo Finance and see what’s going on. But I really just want to pray and dear Lord, I don’t know who this is for. I don’t even know why I’m doing this.

But there’s a spirit of disgust that’s on my heart. There’s a spirit of going back to you, of seeking your face, of apologizing publicly for not opening my scriptures on a day to day basis like I need to. I apologize publicly by not putting my family first and honestly not putting you first because you owe, I owe you my first breaths of every morning and shame on me, even though I don’t want to pick up shame or guilt because you already killed that on the cross. But what I pray, God, is more so than business and revenue.

Even though I need to make ends meet to do these podcasts and run payroll and run CWM and America first retirement plan and shows and all this pressure, my main concern is that these people here, listening, no matter where network, on their mo, on their mobile or on a phone or on Roku or DirecTV or even getting laughed at on HBO. Pray that your name, Jesus will be in their hearts. I pray that you can be what everybody says you are and Lord, that what your word says, that every knee shall bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, in all your glory.

With all the Muslims taking over New York City and a lot of cities, I laugh spiritually, but not out of. Not out of foolery, just out of confidence, because they too do not know what they do because they worship a God that is dead. They worship a Messiah that never really existed, that didn’t do the things that you did, that cannot heal the lepers, that cannot raise the dead. And more importantly, you sealed. You sealed the exchange when you resurrected on that third day, Lord, you created a whole new life in me and in everyone listening to this podcast and everyone that worships you, Lord.

And Lord, as I stay here vulnerable to your presence, God, our country needs you more than ever. As we celebrate our birthday this weekend, while many people are getting drunk and eating wings and grilling, you still sit on a throne with your patient free will that you have granted us. And all you want is our hearts, God. And Lord, blessed is a meek that you say, and Lord, I just ask that you take more of me, throw it away and put you in me. More of you and less of me. More of you and less of me.

Holy Spirit, I just pray that you, you shine, that you manifest your presence. Whoever is listening to this, God, I don’t know what they’re going through. The marriages are restored, businesses are thriving, that ties can go up in our local communities, Lord, that we can lift up the cross, that we can lift up this country, Lord, that whatever system that we have in place, Lord, I don’t know who’s a white hat anymore. I don’t even care. I don’t even know who is good and bad anymore, God, but I do not trust man and I don’t trust any other country.

But I do trust you, Jesus, and all I want to do is see your face. And God, I pray for the children of this country, Lord, as we turn our backs as a country against you and wondering why we’re lost. I pray that when we get to know you, we come to peace, that there’s freedom, Lord, that our listeners here can understand responsibility, spiritual responsibility, that they can wake up and acknowledge you, that they can yield from temptation, that they can grow stronger in you, whether it’s the drugs or the alcohol or the pornography or the fornification, whatever is holding them back.

From getting to know you, Jesus, I just pray that you can give them the strength to overpass that, no matter how much or how hard it hurts or the emotional attachments that it may cause. I truly pray for, for our clients that they can succeed financially so they can do what they want to do. Lord, that your word says you will give us the desires of our heart. We can stop and repent and turn from our wicked ways. You will heal our land. I do not know what false flag is coming. I do not care what the Jews are doing, what the Bilderberg Group is doing, what the Illuminati is doing, what, what anyone else is saying, what they’re predicting, what Q Non is saying about 10 days or with gold is crashing or QFs.

Because we do not run in fear. We do not operate or act in fear. Because you have given us the spirit of love, power and sound mind and God. We worship you, we give you our hearts. We pray for families to be restored. We pray for our academics. God, that these children can actually grow and learn something that is not indoctrinated by Satan himself. From the prison system that has already been established, the prison public education system that has been established to program our youth. God, that as these kids get more and more to technology, attract trace and control, Lord, that we can teach our kids what inoculation looks like, what slavery looks like.

We all have this extension cord powered by you, Lord, and that you can pull it off and we could die any second. And one thing I know you will ask me and ask everyone is did you know me? What did you do for me and God, as a soldier for you, for the cross, I want to answer you with pure confidence saying that I screamed your name on every podcast, that my whole entire life was based on your framework. And yes, I’ve gotten out of line, I’ve sinned many times and I can’t do this without your grace.

But you are my true freedom. You are the Messiah. You are the Messiah. You are Elohim. You are omnipresent. Jehovah Jireh come into our hearts. Bless this network. Bless everybody’s work, family and business that is listening to this. God, let us turn from our wicked ways. Repent and seek your face. God, I do not know what is going to happen. I don’t know if there’s a tax on 4th of July. I don’t know about QFs. I don’t even know about the immigration system. I don’t even know about Social Security. I don’t know. And that’s okay. Because at the end of the day you’re going to call us home and we’re going to be smiling and worshiping you, Jesus.

I pray for my recent clients that had a passing in their families, God, that you can give them peace and comfort knowing that they knew you and Lord, that they can use this time to get closer to you, God. Not just a temporary thing, but a actual permanent fixated on you. That we can seek your face not just as a chore, but as a lifestyle. Like to wake up and actually seek your face. And Lord, when we’re in sin, we don’t want to seek your face. And that’s what Satan wants. He wants us to part from you.

He wants us to not pitch, pick our scriptures up, to not spend our five, ten minutes with you, acknowledging your presence, acknowledging the gratitude that you have put in our heart already. God and I rebuke that evil spirit of every home, of every business, of every relationship, of every marriage that we can come clean to you, God. And it doesn’t matter what the charts say. At the end of the day, we know how all this plays out. You win. And every knee and every tongue will confess. Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess. Jesus Christ is Lord and Holy Spirit.

I don’t need to be a Bible scholar, but I know a good thing when I see one. And your love is everlasting and your love is infinite. And it’s so beautiful. I could never turn my back on you, Jesus. Holy Spirit, I just pray that you protect CWM and America first retirement plan and scriptures on Wall Street. I pray for my producer Mike and his family and his children, Lord, that you can bless him because he’s been here in the shadows. No one sees him. And I pray, Lord, that you give him the desires of his heart.

Because he is. He is sewing into God’s kingdom as well, Lord, that every network that takes this on, that they may be blessed 10 times fold. Because we are here to be disruptors. We’re here to be unapologetically pillars for the kingdom, no matter what anyone says. And you have my commitment, God, that I will be a disruptor on Wall Street. I will be disruptor in anywhere I go, shouting your name, being bold about you, worshiping you. Lord, I could care less what anyone thinks. My childhood friends, my current friends, my hockey teammates. The love that you have given me fulfills me so much I can’t even contain it, Lord.

And I thank you, Holy Spirit, for comforting me through my times of trials, God. I just pray for the mindset of this listener, God, that you can teach them responsibility, that their blind spots could be. Could be exposed to them so that they can grow. So that they can grow closer to you, God, I love you, Jesus, and I thank you for this platform. Thank you for the ability to pray online. Being vulnerable could care less what anyone thinks, because it’s all for your glory. And every time that I do spend time with you, Lord, just your presence just makes me melt.

You’re so beautiful. I can’t even contain the thought of what you look like. Amen. Well, guys, sorry for getting all emotional for you. I just. I really, really felt in my heart to just pray. I haven’t done that in a while, and I know it takes 25 minutes of. Of the show, but who cares? I don’t like time limits. I know people want to learn about, you know, what’s going on in the markets. My opinion, and I’m just grateful that we have listeners. I’m grateful that we have a platform all over. We’re getting picked up by networks.

I don’t even know how many people are or how many networks are on right now, but scriptures and Wall street is growing. And it’s crazy because I started this, like, I started this to expose some of the frustrations as a financial advisor that I had with the whole intent to talk about my walk, to talk about my issues, to talk about things and just be a sounding board. Never knew that this would be almost an everyday thing for me with people calling me pretty much every day to do money minutes, to give market commentary. You know, everybody wants to know this stuff, but I wanted to talk about this stuff.

I wanted to talk about God. I wanted to talk about mindset. I wanted to talk about personal growth. That’s what I’m passionate about. And what I found out is that you could do Tony Robbins. You can do all these crazy, like, personal development, but none of them actually talk about the cross. They never emphasize. They always say, you know, wake up early, exercise, meditate, and then scale your business. Go online. Work, work, work, work. There’s no family, there’s no God. There’s no growth. You’re dead. You’re just a statistic. I don’t care if you made millions and you’re Gary Vee and you’re who freaking cares? Like, God will ask you when you die.

I don’t care how much money you made. What did you do for me? And did you have to bend your character to make that income? That’s what we’re about here. And so I’m here to announce that I had a vision the other day. And you could laugh. It’s all good. I had a vision the other day that this podcast is going to grow probably its own legs. Really? Its own legs. And then my financial firm will actually be a disruptor on Wall Street. I don’t know what that looks like, but I’m saying this now. July 3rd, you’re probably watching this.

July 4th or 5th, 2025. That way, 10 years from now, we can come back to this. And I said it now, but I’m actually working on a 10 year goal where we are literally going to introduce faith and family finances at a whole new mainstream level. And part of the client onboarding would actually be acknowledging Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Using my business, using my platform to bring people to the cross, helping God fearing patriots get in line with their hearts, with the cross and their retirement. That’s my vision. And whether I become profitable or not, my treasures are actually in heaven.

My option calls, my dividends are actually in heaven. And they will never go away. Because you know why I’m so confident? Because in Malachi 3, it says, if you tithe, if you bring your first fruits, you bring to the storehouse, he will over filleth your cup so much, it will overflow. You will not be able to handle it. And then he says, try me in this. Literally, try me. Like, who are we to try God? We can’t even see him directly without being alive. When I was dying in Covid, when I literally saw his feet, it was so bright, I couldn’t even see it.

But I heard his voice. He said, go fix was so bright I couldn’t even see, but it was also so beautiful. He said, go fix it. I am with you. He said, I’m with you. You guys don’t even know what that did to me. It struck. It woke up a monster in me. It woke up a monster in me. Guys, it’s like your father, your earthly father, telling you, son, I love you. You can never fail, go do what your heart’s desire. You have my blessing and you just run out. You don’t know what you’re doing, but you know you got your dad’s got your back and you’re that little boy and say, my hero got my back.

And some of you’ve never had that experience of a father, but when you get a blessing from your father that he loves you and actually you, you could do whatever you want that you set aside your mind to, I’m telling you, the confidence that you get is actually just as strong as running anything. You could run through a brick wall. So you fathers out there that are making your business your priority, that are making your trading your income a priority, are you giving that confidence to your son and daughters? Because God gave it to me and my earthly father gave it to me.

And I think we’re just really missing that spiritual confidence as a country, as a listener base, because we’re not seeking his face. We’re not doing the things that we were once doing. And I personally feel convicted. I’ve been seeking comfort. I’m getting too comfortable. I’m not doing the hard things. And I know the more comfortable you are, you’re dying, you’re not growing. And if I don’t grow, my family doesn’t grow. Their children’s children don’t grow. My business doesn’t grow, my employees and all my advisors don’t grow. It just stops everything. Because you want to be comfortable now, that doesn’t mean you stop working when you reach 5, $10 million.

That doesn’t mean that you can’t have money in the bank. What that means is that you cannot stay stagnant. God does not want you to stay stagnant. He didn’t call you to be average. He gave you a gift. We all have gifts. And for many, many years I’d had no idea what my gift was. But I will tell you. One of my gifts is individualization. I can tell. I can look you in the eye and tell you what your talents are and connect you to the best resources to expose those talents and use your talents effectively.

That is my natural born gift. It’s also verified on Gallup’s CliftonStrengths. You can take a Cliftonstrengths test if you ever are curious on what your gifts are. Yeah, so my first one is individualization. You see what others people, what makes people unique in their gift of understanding others deeply and winning others over is called woo. You easily make connections. Gift of charisma and influence. I don’t know about charisma, but I’m just myself and communication. So basically that’s one of my gifts is the express ideas well and gift of clarity and storytelling. Positivity. Right. Lifting up others encouragement and joy.

And number five being significant. I want to make a big impact in your life. The gift of purpose and drive. Like to be significant is everything to leave a mark. Because God’s going to call you home. God’s going to call you home. That’s an absolute truth. You gotta be an impact. I Am not money motivated. I’m actually impact motivated. I want to make an impact in your life. I want to make an impact in my company, in my family, in my neighborhood, in my son’s hockey team, in my son’s school, in my daughter’s life, in my church.

It’s so huge, guys. So huge. So if you haven’t taken a cliftons strengths gift by domain, I’ll see if I can find a link and you can. You know, I’m not here to promote anything honestly for cliftonstrength, but it’s very powerful because it is part of your growth to strategically use your gifts. And so when you find out your gifts, you can understand your primal question. You can understand your primal question. So your primal question actually gets to the whole root of where you’re at right now. So if you’re depressed, if you’re not happy, if you’re happy, if you’re successful, whatever, you are content.

You are trying to answer your primal question. And everything that you’ve done in your life has been an attempt to answer that question. But yeah, take that. It’s so powerful, man. It really is a game changer. You already know your gifts or you think you do, then take it. Because now you get clarity and you have it written down scientifically and quantitatively and you’re actually backing it up with evidence. And so this is how I run everything is I want proof. I don’t care what people say. I want proof in writing. I want the charts, I want data.

I want qualitative and quantitative assessment. So my hypothesis is no longer a hypothesis. It’s an actual factual fact about myself, about my trading, about me. It’s written down, it’s proven. And these tests are so accurate right now because they’ve had over 10,000 hours of study and they’ve literally had over 50,000 people take these tests, psychologists and doctors and over and over again simulated them. So it’s irrefutable of what the results are. And you can take it over and over and over again and spend thousands of dollars, but you’re going to get the same answer the first time or the last time because that’s how accurate they are.

And once you have your. Your five gifts, you can literally plan around your whole life. You can plan your life and design it according to your wishes through God’s will. It’s very powerful. So we’re going to be offering. We’re going to be offering coaches coaching financially as well as actual coaching. And I’ll be coming out with some packages on that here shortly. And I really, really feel that God’s calling me into more of a coaching role of consulting. I mean it fits what I do for a living anyway, you know, trading and financial consulting. But financial consulting comes from a lack of understanding.

Your why understanding basic, your basic needs is you. And then we can worry about our finances. So it affects our health, it affects our wealth, affects everything. Our spirituality, our spiritual connections with God. So yeah, I just, I really, really would love for you guys to take your Clifton’s strengths test and see where that, how that, how that shows up in your life. So I want to get to it. Guys, I know I’m talking like crazy here because I just had this in my heart the whole time and I just came back from a little, little staycation.

I wanted to spend more time. I am going to spend more time with family because business is always going to be there. The markets are going to change, the drama is always going to be there. But my kids grow up and next thing you know they’re out of the house and I’m going to regret not spending time with them. And my wife and I want to be an impact. And so if I lose business for it or if people get upset, oh well, family’s first and it’s my job as a father to be present in their lives.

Don’t buy an annuity unless you know how to double your money within four to six years. I’m talking about no fees, principal protection. The market goes down, you lose nothing. You get an annual statement because your money’s not invested in the stock market. It’s only credited by the index. And what is the number one index that I can find? That’s going to be the Nasdaq. That’s going to be AI, that’s going to be technology, that’s going to be healthcare technology. What are you doing not investing in that? You want to be able to have access to a principal protected account with no fees.

That has complete growth. If we look at the actual index, if you look at the NASDAQ, in 08, NASDAQ was down 41. We made 53. The following year, a 19, a 2%, a 16%. In 01 and the dot com bombs we made 49, a 10, a 1. So right now the Nasdaq is down. It’s a great time to get in. When Trump got in in 2016-2020, the Nasdaq yielded over a hundred percent. You can now effectively get into the Nasdaq without risking your principal, have principal protection, have no annual Fees and get your gains locked in.

This is not found in your mainstream broker. This is not found on Wall Street. As a former stockbroker, I wish I had access to this to my clients. Give us a call. We want to help you. And we can work with all 50 states. God bless. So let’s go to the charts. Let’s see what’s going on here. So this is going to be a day trading chart. Mainly this is futures. So I do want to see something real quick here before I switch over to my swing trading charts. And of course I haven’t really looked at this in a few days because I haven’t been trading.

I took a little break here. But this is crude oil, guys. Crude oil has ability to be extremely volatile. So we’re starting to see green lights. We saw crude oil come down like crazy. 66, 99. I said it’ll probably get to the 50s. I was wrong. It hit mid-60s. No, I’m sorry, I wasn’t wrong. Yeah, I said it will get to close to 50s. So I wasn’t too far off. About 10% off. And then boom, it shot back up. Because anytime, anytime, anything has this huge candle coming down, you’re going to see a retracement right back to that band and it’s going to come right back down.

So remember we were, we were at war supposedly. And they said, oh, oil is going to shoot up like crazy. Here we are. So, yeah, this is July 2nd. This is on a very slow time frame. Let me go to the day here. I’m sorry, guys. So yeah, we had this war here and it was going down and it did pop up, right, the conflict that we had. And now it’s coming right back down. Let me scroll in a little bit. So yeah, we had this pop up. Everyone said, oh man. Well, I was wanting to skyrocket and yeah, okay, so it went to 78 a barrel all time high.

And now it dropped all the way down to 64 and it’s coming back up a little bit to 67. But this thing looks bearish. I mean the overall trend is down. We had the spike up, but it’s gonna, it’s gonna continue on his bearish pattern, I feel. So that that’s something interesting. That’s crude oil, guys. Now let me get to the actual markets real quick. So I want to talk real quick about the Q’s the mark. Is the market going up or down? What’s going on, Carlos? So here we are. We had a cell. We had a cell signal back in April Market went down and then boom, Blue Cross popped up in May which the price goes over 200 day moving average and then boom, we had official golden cross on the 23rd and of, I’m sorry June, June 23rd and it’s been going up ever since.

This is a cues guys. So come to find out. Let’s go on a day chart here, scrunch this up a little bit. So we got, we got some momentum on the upside. What I want to say though is it’s time to be careful here because we are losing some momentum. I got a buy Signal back in June 24th. We are losing somewhat of momentum here. Doesn’t mean the market’s going to crash, it’s just, it’s losing momentum. I still have bullish power as you guys see on the top right and my oscillators are showing strength and I got traffic lights that are updating right now.

And so we should see the NASDAQ rise a little bit. But what’s interesting is that it could go two different ways. We could hit this like all time high around 569 and then we could see a massive retracement. So I’m thinking we’re going to see a bullish power to the end of the August or whenever the GDP numbers come out in a summer. We’re going to hit this like resistance here and could it blow past through it? Yes, it could blow but I’m thinking it’s probably going to have a huge retracement and then what happens is the bro investors get scared and they start talking about other things and when those other things come up then it creates this fear and so we have this panic and so I have green traffic lights.

We’re good here. NASDAQ should go through up throughout the weekend, possibly into next week and then have a strong July and August. But come come those GDP numbers we’ll, we’ll take a look when they’re coming out. Exactly. If that report hints any signs of weakness, we will see a huge correction and a lot of people are going to get hurt. So one thing I actually like looking at is the shorts. Yes. Q. Q. Q. I’m starting to see a buy signal here. I get red traffic light so this might go a little lower. But we’re starting to see bullish power show on the short side of the Nasdaq.

So I want you guys to be extremely careful. So look at, look at my momentum index. Notice when this hits, this last line here, it literally pops up. It literally pops up. So we Get a buy signal even though the trend was over down. So that’s why we just can’t look at the momentum. It’s just an indicator, a piece of one single piece of evidence to see where the, where the trend is going. So there’s a huge possibility, guys that we might see this, hit this line and start to pop back up. We have a huge, huge setup here because right now this is at an all time low.

Not all time low, but a really good price. At 18:53 hasn’t been this price. Geez, let’s go to a daily. I don’t even know when the last time it hit this low. Look at this sucker. It just screams high. So when this goes up, that means the stock market melted down. And man, this thing, just look at this sucker. It was over a thousand. Oh my gosh, I took all those buys and sells off. You would see it more clearly. But yeah, this, this thing has some serious upsides if you’re trying to look to make money, guys, in the next market crash.

This is a great investment. Again, I can’t recommend anything on this podcast. This is for information education purposes only, as you understand. But this actually makes money when the market goes down. So instead of buying corny gold like every bro investor does and we’ll pull up gold real quick and I got to run to my hockey game. I wanted to sneak in here. This is gold here. Gold is starting to turn down again. Even though we got bullish power on the right. Look at my traffic lights. They’re actually still pretty much predominantly red. I got two little speckles turning green.

We could see a little pop up in gold. But you know, if I’m trading this, I’m looking to short this thing. I mean this thing could go down easily another 10%. So I would be very, very cautious with gold. Get on my four hour chart. For those of you that are trying to buy gold, it might be a good time to buy gold. But long term it’s just a commodity. I would only buy gold if you’re looking out for a bug out bag. It could go up. But yeah, we have cycle tops on all the indices, meaning that the top has already hit the S&P 500, the Dow Jones, the NASDAQ, the New York Stock Exchange, the Russell 2000.

So if those crash, typically the gold will go up. It’s not guaranteed, but people will be running to safety and gold is still quote unquote a safe asset. However, the safe asset is also volatile which speaking of volatility, let’s look at our bad boy. Which last time I saw it was really, really low. Look at Vixie. Guys, look at the Vix. Sorry Vix. We are at, we’re at 1617 on 1637 on the Vix. So when this is low, this means the market’s been going up full blown red. So we still have the ability for the markets to go up.

Now if we look at Vixie, if you’re trying to make money off of the VIX then you have to buy Vixie as you guys know. And I’m starting to get buy signal signs here. That means markets should be coming down and that’s why SQQQ is starting to look attractive. So we’re going to be looking at it especially this weekend, especially all next week to be paying a huge close eye eye on this. And I might even be talking about some call options on this puppy.
