Summer, Finally (Try to Act Like It) Happy summer. As if summer couldn’t be happy — IF you’re doing what I suggested: relaxing. Once you remember how to kick back, get a tan, float around pretending “pool exercise” counts as working out, or flop on the couch like a professional, it’s actually pretty great. Just don’t swim too far out in the ocean; sharks are fast, and you are not.
Why care about those crazy dancing up‑down market numbers? That’s so pre‑summer. Leave the twitching to the day traders and caffeinated interns.
Iran/US: The Drama Nobody Watches Anymore It appears the Iranian/US saga has officially run out of “I care” points. Iran shot up the Mideast last night, the U.S. blasted Iran, the Strait of Hormuz is closed, or open, or “open but don’t sail anything through it.” Markets’ reaction? ZERO. Not even a shrug. Just a bored glance and back to summer mode.
Inflation & Metals: Yawn, Yawn, and… Yawn Inflation (CPI) came in a bit softer this morning. Gold rallied all the way back to $4K — adorable. Silver? So far from its $100+ glory days that even your great‑great‑GREAT grandkids won’t see that again. They’ll be living on Mars before silver sees triple digits.
Why be in the metals? Why indeed.
Markets: Settling In for the Summer Overall, the financial markets look like they’ve accepted their fate: slow, sleepy, and sunburned.
EXCEPT… Don’t tell anyone I told you — Bitcoin is looking good. When (not if) BTC runs through $65K, raise the stops I mentioned last week from $57K–$58K up to $59K. Tight, yes. Prudent, also yes. There aren’t many bulls left out there. No giant moonshot move, just a slow, stubborn grind higher.
S&P 500: My Favorite Neutral Zone I’ve been neutral on the S&P 500 for quite a while. So why change? Answer: I’m not.
I’m perfectly happy watching from the sidelines or twitching around making people crazy. If I wanted to twitch around and go crazy, I could find drugs for that. Or I used to be able to find them. Haven’t twitched in a while.
Long musing short: remain neutral on the S&P 500.
Summer Instructions Watch the MLB All‑Star Game. Watch the soccer World Cup semis and finals. Take a nap. Take another nap. Relax. It’s summer.
S&P 500…..Neutral
GOLD…..Neutral
BITCOIN…..Slightly long
ETH…..Neutral
