$DIA $QQQ Nasdaq futures were down as much as 2.4% overnight on the midterm results. By the pre-market they'd erased all of it, and the Dow is set to open nearly 1,000 points higher. I think the market likes gridlock, but I want to see the gap hold. https://t.co/jbgci4bJNq

The US desperately needs a third party to oppose Republicans and Democrats, evidenced by the extreme volatility we have seen in voting the past decade. The pendulum swings one way, the voters don't like the outcome, the pendulum swings harder back the opposite direction. Repeat. "But voting third party is throwing away your vote". I don't agree, especially when it is obvious that Americans are searching for answers. Voting red or blue in to a system that you believe to be broken, simply in an effort to keep a candidate out of office and not for someone who you actually believe in, is throwing away your vote. It is morally wrong to not vote your conscience. Trump ran on promises of MAHA, DOGE, releasing the Epstein Files, and no new wars. Instead, we got more of the status quo. No real substantial change. No arrests from the Epstein Files. And a new war that is hurting every day Americans at the pump and in their bank accounts. The results of last night are not surprising. People want answers to their problems. Voting Democrat was the only option many Americans felt they could turn and it's perpetuating the broken two party system. We have 2 years before the next election, which will be dubbed as "the most consequential election for our democracy" (every election is). Now is the time to research third parties. Do your homework. Become informed. Don't vote for the two party system if you believe it is broken. 62% of Americans believe that two parties is inadequate. That's a majority. There are enough of us to invoke change in our political system. As Americans, we just need to have the courage to say enough is enough and show it in our elections. #Elections2026

Research Desk, Friday Oct 30, 2026 Three names cleared the desk today. One is a pocket-pivot promotion; two are fresh Stage 2 crosses. Two print inside two weeks and are flagged as near-earnings. Buy list: $CUZ $JHX $PBR

$QQQ fell 3.5% today and the Nasdaq 100 briefly hit correction territory, 10% off its October high. Markets now price about a 75% chance of a December Fed hike. I believe the 200-day is the line to watch. Wait for confirmation before buying the dip. Where are you stepping in? https://t.co/5a91fgL6Md

$SPY finished just below the 100 D EMA. A reclaim at any point next week would be bullish. The earlier we reclaim, the better. https://t.co/knqiTHh62n

$INTC just had its worst day on record, down about 29% after guiding Q4 well below what the Street expected. I think the guide was the whole story, not the Q3 beat. It gapped under the 50 and 200-day on huge volume. Not catching this knife. Waiting for a base. Who's buying? https://t.co/2Q2k8CxvNU

$INTC is down about 30% today, on pace for its worst day on record. Worse than the 26% drop in Aug 2024. The Q3 beat didn't matter. The Q4 guide and a PC slowdown into mid-2027 did. Now far below the 200-day. I'm not catching this until it bases. Capitulation or more to come? https://t.co/b7MtfgLZHn

$RDDT set to open down 20%+ despite a beat. Revenue grew 53%, but visitors missed, US daily users fell 2% and the Q4 guide was light. The CEO says AI search is cutting traffic. Already below the 50 and 200-day, so no knife-catching here. Is AI search the next risk for content sites?

$QQQ down over 3%, its worst day since June, and well under the 50-day. Chips are leading it lower, with $SMH down nearly 7% after the $AMZN and Intel reports. About 9% off the Oct 6 high now. The 200-day is the next level I'm watching. Buyable dip or start of a real correction?

$SPY $TLT Fed holds at 3.75-4% 10-2 vote and both dissenters (Cook, Hammack) wanted a hike. Statement still says inflation "remains elevated." I think December just got more live. Warsh at 2:30 is the real tell. Hike in Dec or not? https://t.co/SywMm5LwAS
