$BLZE sold off sharply at the open, reinforcing why selectivity and capital preservation matter as much as identifying upside. During this morning's show, @BenRTrader flagged concerns that much of the earnings call centered on $CRWV, raising questions about customer concentration and the broader growth narrative. Despite his AI model suggesting a potential re-rating toward $11–$12, he elected to stay on the sidelines given his limited conviction in the underlying business. Sometimes the best trade is the one you don't take. Capital preservation is a portfolio decision, not a missed opportunity.

Boom!
$192K in profits from $AEHR in 2026 alone. Understanding the story behind the trade builds conviction. Conviction, backed by catalysts, sentiment, fundamentals, and technicals, creates asymmetric opportunities. That's the power of our 4 Pillar framework. ⚡️❤️📊📈

Absolutely G.O.A.T. 🐐 market calls—often pinpointing key levels with remarkable precision. Simply phenomenal. 🔮 If you are attempting to navigate this market’s volatility and aren’t part of this community, or at least receiving Ben’s morning note, you are doing yourself a serious disservice. No one works harder, and the foresight behind his calls, backed by fully transparent results, speak for themselves.

Omg there’s gonna be a nuclear war!! Everyone is gonna run to Walmart and Costco in Lululemon yoga pants and Nike sneakers then buy a new Apple iPhone SAID NO ONE EVER. This rotation game by hedge funds and institutions is such juvenile nonsense. Cash is a position. You don’t need to rotate for the sake of rotation. One day they will get their ass handed to them. $WMT $COST $AAPL $LULU $NKE

In today's Morning Note, we highlighted dip buying as one of our top trade ideas, with $AEHR among our preferred setups. We identified the $53–$55 range as a potential buying opportunity, which played out perfectly for those following along and bought the dip.
$AEHR just completed a gap fill dating back to April of this year near the $53 level. The stock has now pulled back approximately 63.3% from its August all-time highs of $147.40, currently trading around $54.06. An interesting technical development worth highlighting.

Today's selloff didn't catch us off guard. We warned of the risks in today's Morning Note. RED ALERT. Cash as our #1 Top Pick. Short $QQQ as our #2. While others reacted, we were already positioned defensively. The market won't surprise you if you watch the right signals.

The opportunity in $RSKD was identified by @smantel and @BenRTrader at $7.05. Now trading around $8.40. Four Pillars. One methodology. Understand the story before the market does.

I said this from the very start and I’m doubling down. AI will not displace jobs. Jobs may change but humanity will be working harder than ever. Elon Musk is wrong about that utopia he is selling where there is abundance for all with robots doing everything. Competitive humans will always find something else to do to keep busy and beat the competition. AI won’t free up our time. Instead it will make us much more productive and allow us to achieve things we never dreamed we could achieve. I said this from day one when all the pundits were screaming that all the jobs would be taken. Just you watch. The unemployment rate will NOT go up over time. AI and robots won’t displace us. At all. We will just do more. Take it to the bank.

This story makes me very angry. Nearly every “civilian” in Gaza supported this and they still do. The whole society is guilty. Not enough of Gaza was destroyed. Cry me a river.
OCTOBER 7, 2023: SHE KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO DIE. Libi Cohen-Meguri, a 22-year-old infantry officer, went to the Nova music festival. She was shot while fleeing the party. At 8:11 a.m., she called her parents and said: “I’ve been shot in the stomach, I’ve been shot in the arm, I’m losing blood. I’m going to die.” Calmly, quietly, she understood; these were the last minutes of her life. She asked her parents to call Tomer, her twin brother, and Maya, her little sister, and said: “I’m going to die. I just want you to listen to me. I love you, Yariv. You’re the best father I could have asked for. Mom, stop screaming. Just listen to me. You are the best mother we could have ever had. Don’t forget to be a good mother to Tomer and Maya after I die. Tomer, how lucky we were to live this life together. I love you. My Maya, never forget—you are the treasure of my life.” When she finished speaking, her parents told her to get out of the car, lie down on the road, and pretend to be dead. With her last bit of strength, she got out of the car and laid down on the road. “Mom, they’re coming to shoot me again,” Libi said after lying down. While her mother listened on the phone, shouts in Arabic could be heard, and then a barrage of gunfire. It didn’t stop. It kept going, until the call was disconnected. And that’s how Libi died—with demonic beasts from the pit of hell standing over her and emptying a full magazine into her body. Libi died with LOVE on her lips: love for life, love for her family, and love for her people. Her memory will forever be a blessing. NEVER FORGET. NEVER FORGIVE. NEVER AGAIN IS NOW. Israel is hunting down every single Palestinian and Hamas terrorist who participated in the October 7th Massacre—to kill them all. They’re living on “borrowed time,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. Sooner or later, every one of these monsters will be found and eliminated.

$SNES worth a look
Washington, D.C. is turning to rat birth control and @SenesTech makes the product being deployed. A recent article highlighted ContraPest as part of D.C.’s major new effort to control its rat population. The numbers stand out: - ContraPest is being deployed in Washington, D.C. - Rat birth control is also being tested in cities like Chicago - One cited study showed a 94% reduction in rat activity after a year of continuous ContraPest baiting - Growing concerns around traditional rat poison are driving interest in alternatives The takeaway is simple: Cities are looking for new ways to control rats, and SenesTech’s technology is moving into real-world municipal use. theatlantic.com/science/2026…
