Donald J. Trump is a pig.
Trump: "Vivek Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Amy Acton, who is running for Governor of Ohio, is a liar, and much worse. The Press, in a concerted and well coordinated attack, is trying to get Vivek Ramaswamy to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about a daughter in that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving in Office"

Gulp. Put this on the bearish side of the ledger. The S&P 500’s $SPY largest sector, Tech XLK, is down over 3% today, while Financials XLF gained over 1%. Such extreme sector divergence has occurred just 15 other times since 1998. What happened next was not always pretty.

Well, holy shit. At one point today, QQQ was down -7.99% from a peak set within the past 12 days. Would you like to know how QQQ did the "next day" the last 6 times the same thing happened? -2.0% -2.0% -0.8% -6.2% -2.2% -1.1%

We need to know everything that happened. Every goddamn detail. We know why Trump doesn't want to talk about it.
TRUMP, ON UKRAINE’S STARLINK ACCESS, SAYS HE DOES NOT WANT TO COMMENT ON WHETHER HE OR SOMEBODY ELSE CALLED, ADDING THAT THE BOTTOM LINE IS “HE PUT IT BACK”

Great factoid from Bespoke
This will be the first time the Nasdaq 100 $QQQ has had three 2%+ drops in a 7-day span since April 2025. S&P 500 Equal Weight $RSP is up 2% over the last 7 days.

Pete Hegseth demanded his team to bring Eisenhower's globe in his office, despite warnings that only historians should move the iconic globe. His staff dropped it and broke it.

Today is the widest day for S&P 500 breadth vs. price (positive breadth, negative price) since DeepSeek Monday on 1/27/25 and the 2nd widest since at least 1990. AI infrastructure stocks are getting pummeled while money rotates into the rest of the market.

Irony: Donald Trump suggesting Acton's mother's comments in Ravaswamy's ad should disqualify her from being Governor. Why you ask? Because it was revealed in 2020 that Donald's sister Maryanne Trump Barry called him "cruel, dishonest, unprincipled and untrustworthy."
Vivek Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Amy Acton, who is running for Governor of Ohio, is a liar, and much worse. The Press, in a concerted and well coordinated attack, is trying to get Vivek Ramaswamy to “take down the Ad.” Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about a daughter in that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving in Office, let alone the Office of Governor. If my mother, the legendary Mary MacLeod Trump, said anything bad about me, the Fake News would play it up. The Dumocrats would be totally supportive, and it would go down as the Ad of the Decade — Maybe the Century! It would win Awards for Excellence in Advertising. But, because Vivek, who will be a GREAT Governor, put it out, the “Artificial” News has teamed up against him in order to damage, demean, and embarrass a Republican who is leading in the Polls. Our RINO Governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine, who I unfortunately helped get elected years ago, when he was losing by 16 points prior to my doing a Rally for him was, as usual, disloyal to the Republican Party. He strongly suggested that Vivek should, “take down the Ad.” He probably wants a Dumocrat to win, and certainly doesn’t want someone who will do a much better job than he is capable of doing. I suggested, on the other hand, that Vivek should keep it up, and let everyone listen to the mother of a defective, dishonest, and incapable Candidate, explain how the daughter is a DISASTER who, uncontrollably, lies, cheats, and steals! I only wish the mothers of my opponents would be so brave as to come forward and explain that their son or daughter is a liar, and much worse. That took a lot of courage to do but, essentially, what she was really doing was saving Ohio from making a truly horrible choice! The Press is trying to convince everyone that this Ad is bad, because it’s so good! Who wouldn’t use such an Ad? I would, it’s called, “hitting pay dirt.” The fact is, Lyin’ Amy Acton, who I’ve never even heard of before, has been lying about Vivek for the entire Campaign. I know the real Vivek, he is a brilliant and outstanding person who will cut Taxes, stop Crime and, MAKE OHIO GREAT AGAIN. He will be a fantastic Governor! President DONALD J.

Well of course Trump urges Ramaswamy to keep running that ad using his opponents mothers. It is, after all, what you would expect from our pond slime President.

$IWM is trading 275.99 -0.50. Supported by the decline in Treasury yields. It wants to believe that is not simply a flight to safety. It will have a better argument if it can regain that broken uptrend from the April lows.

Large declines today in Treasury yields. You can choose your narrative: Flight to safety (as in yes, fixed income is now an alternative to equities) or simply yields rose too far too fast.

Stop the madness. The anti-vaxx crowd is costing lives.
The new chair of the US vaccine advisory committee has questioned whether children still need the polio vaccine Polio is still circulating in parts of the world, and the only reason American kids don't get it is the vaccine. That's not a reason to stop. It's proof it works.

With an hour to go until the close, the CBOE's Equities + Indices Put/Call Ration is showing a bit of fear with a reading of 0.933. Only a bit but at least the #BTFD crowd has retreated some.
