Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand.

You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls

RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

Is our universe trapped inside a black hole? This James Webb Space Telescope discovery might blow your mind "I think that the simplest explanation of the rotating universe is the universe was born in a rotating black hole."

Interesting discovery by JWST. Little by little, recent discoveries seem to be pointing towards a black hole universe which carries some fascinating implications. ⚫️
