Well, here we are, one day before July, allegedly in “summer,” though Bozeman seems to have opted out. Forty‑degree mornings, rain, and a few feet of snow up the hill above 6,000 ft. Perfect beach weather if your idea of a beach involves frostbite.
Meanwhile, the war in Iran is stuck in its weekly rinse‑and‑repeat cycle: cease‑fire, missiles, drones, U.S. strikes, everyone pauses for “peace talks,” then back at it. The markets have officially stopped caring. They’ve moved on to their usual routine of buying some things, selling other things, ignoring most things, and settling in for whatever happens whenever it feels like happening.
Bitcoin, bless its dramatic little heart, is having a moment. Michael Saylor — Mr. “never selling Bitcoin EVER” — is, in fact, selling Bitcoin. Michael, buddy, never say never. Investors around the world are sitting on losses big enough to qualify for disaster relief, but oddly, BTC’s slump hasn’t spilled into other markets. Bitcoin is sulking alone.
Gold and silver are doing their best Bitcoin‑at‑$80K impression: “just a pullback,” “great buying opportunity,” all the usual lines. Maybe gold is a great buy — just not today. Silver? Let’s give it some space.
Equities are in full cheerleader mode. Buy, buy, buy — but don’t ask which ones or why. Leverage keeps climbing, bullishness is doing gymnastics, market averages rise daily (yawn), and the talking heads are explaining why absolutely nothing can stop this bull run. Sure. OK.
So here we are: summer, the 4th of July, vacations, beaches, lakes, pools, beaches again, and — most importantly — naps. If I didn’t say naps earlier, I’m saying it now: NAPS. Why ruin the season by getting tangled up in markets? I’m neutral. Staying neutral. Proudly neutral. No positions, no bias, just watching what works and what doesn’t with the calm detachment of someone who refuses to get dragged into the chaos. It feels weird… but soothing.
Have a great 4th. Relax. Be careful. Everything isn’t always what it seems. Happy Birthday to us.
