Quick google search tells a different story. The best chart is when compared to Nasdaq 3x etf.

“The correlation between TQQQ and Bitcoin is relatively low at 0.23, indicating that their price movements are not closely related .”

“During risk-on periods, especially from 2020 through early 2022, Bitcoin and the Nasdaq (especially the Nasdaq 100) showed a moderate to strong positive correlation, often in the 0.4–0.6 range (on a scale from -1 to 1).

“Since the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, Bitcoin’s correlation with Nasdaq has remained positive, but moderate, with short-term decoupling at times due to Bitcoin-specific catalysts like halving or ETF inflows.”

“As of late April 2025, Bitcoin’s 30-day correlation with the Nasdaq 100 stands at 0.53, down from higher levels observed in previous years. Conversely, its correlation with gold has increased to 0.70, suggesting that Bitcoin is aligning more closely with gold’s behavior than with tech equities. “

Down day on market. Still waiting for the "200 trade deals". Guess that's not happening anytime soon.
From CNBC:
  • “Everyone says, ‘When, when, when are you going to sign deals?’” Trump said during a White House meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
  • After weeks of saying that countries were asking for bilateral trade talks with the U.S., the president and his team have yet to announce any formal agreements or frameworks.
  • Trump’s effort to deprioritize trade deals marked a turn away from what Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC the day before.

CRWD down 4%. News appears to be laying off 500 workers though reports are those jobs are being replaced by AI. I would think that would be a positive?

Very positive. Probably just a stupid algo selling on the word "layoff".

Google down 8+% on Apple saying searches in their browser fell for the first time ever.

Apple down as well on the news and Google pays Apple to be the default search.

Rather not have my flights out of EWR be a coin flip proposition along with the occasional brush with death every other month.

Also just double checked, my taxes remain the same, cost of goods and living also up. Employment opportunities slightly down. Not a lot of “day 1” stuff coming to fruition other than our dangerous landscapers getting rounded up and thrown in a van. Stocks only about half recovered following the reversal of the disastrous tariff policies only after other countries teased dumping our currency in the toilet.

Up a little bit this morning, I put a sell order in.

I've been in and out of the stock, so not sure when I purchased the current position, but up 10%, so I'll take that and run.

GOOGL is in my core stock basket (32 holdings). I rarely make big changes, but I'm considering dumping it. Need to do more research. If I was trading it, I would be out ASAP.

In other news, as this earnings seasons nears the end, it's been pretty damn awesome!

BTW, if oil gets back over $60, I'm going to short it (via futures on COIN).

UK falls in line on trade. Who’s next?


So much winning!

It’s easy to win when everything is winning? Countries not trading… link to rando company in Iowa that makes domestic tools killing it, winning! Countries now trading…. Also winning! Stocks down… buying opp! Stocks up… also winning! GDP down… no comment yet but I’m sure it’s somehow winning.

Of course if this is your mentality all of these things are true regardless who sits in the WH. Must be nice to be permanently twelve.

Can you explain to me how reduced government spending hurts a runway improvement project that’s already paid for? Or why none of the trillion dollar infrastructure bill was allocated for ATC?

C'mon bro step-up to premium and argue your tds on the CE. It's obvious you want to vent your politics, and it would be great to hear it all out on the CE because you know your political posts will be deleted and/or you'll be banned from Free Board threads like this one.

I’ll explain right after it’s explained to me that how countries will “cut deals” to make for more favorable trade with the US (a positive to be fair) will also simultaneously bring back the good old post WW2 factory jobs to the US.
