Pre Market MAY 2, 2025

Stocks are green in the Pre Market today
China has signaled that they’re open to talks on tariffs

Are you a wrestling fan? When I was younger I met 17 time World Champion “The Nature Boy Ric Flair” Can I get a Woooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( his signature call) The World Wrestling Entertainment CO, otherwise known as the WWE employs over 800 full time workers… Anytime they reach out to someone as a potential hire, if they then receive a reply email that says “Unavailable” ( like a OOO from a company email ) that person doesn’t go to the front of the line…. I’m willing to bet more companies begin to embrace stronger work ethics again….

People have lives, take vacations, kids get sick, stuff happens, that’s one thing, I wonder if its already when someone was “in the running”

How that applies to us is work, one thing I’ve been thinking of lately is doing a monthly “rebalance” That very well could happen this weekend. With big tech back in play we might want to start focusing on it deeper. We already play it a lot, even through the recent downturn with our Delta Neutral strategies that captured volatility

Our long time good friend SFM is moving here in the Pre
Don’t get excited, it’s on very low Volume, no doubt about this one, it’s Bob down in his moms basement.. Still might be good after the open though, it’s given us some great growth lately

I’m not a fan of placing new trades on Fridays, but we don’t get to choose when the market will move, only react. Or as that old saying goes “Get while the gettins good”
