$AAPL hasn’t “held up” it’s made all time highs this week. I agree with a most of your observations. I would add when you can’t sell what you want to sell, you sell what you can sell. Assets precious metals and crypto which I think is even more tied to tech are simply sources of liquidity as valuations in general are being compressed by rates. Right now markets are building in a 4.5% fed funds rate. We’ve even heard two voting members of the fed float a 50 bp move in December which makes sense if the fed is making 3 increases. Better we arrive there faster so the fed could pause and monitor the economy. The chance for something “breaking” is elevated so the fed must be vigilant.

🚨 FRAUDULENT ACTORS DO NOT OPERATE IN ISOLATION — THE NETWORK OF PUBLIC PRESSURE AND REPUTATIONAL DESTRUCTION MUST BE EXPOSED EXPOSING ANGELA RASMUSSEN’S REPEATED EFFORTS TO DEFAME PROFESSOR DAVID M. SABATINI AND INTERFERE WITH HIS PROSPECTIVE PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS The ScienceGuardians™ Legal and Investigative Team is exposing a deeply troubling record of inflammatory, defamatory public attacks and efforts to undermine the prospective professional relationships of Professor @DMSabatini by Dr. Angela Rasmussen (@angie_rasmussen), Principal Research Scientist at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO, @VIDOInterVac), University of Saskatchewan (@usask), and Co-Editor-in-Chief of Vaccine, published by Elsevier, in 2021 and 2022. THE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. In August 2021, Rasmussen publicly described Sabatini as one of the: 🔴 “worthless bastards” She went further, referring to: 🔴 “the destruction he and all his fellow entitled ethically bankrupt abusive bastards leave in their wake.” In April 2022, as Sabatini faced intense public pressure over a prospective appointment at NYU Langone Health, Rasmussen continued her attacks, describing him as: 🔴 “an unrepentant sex abuser” 🔴 “one powerful and well-connected sexual harasser” She further asserted that he had been: 🔴 “pushed out of 3 institutions for abhorrent and repeated sexual misconduct.” BUT THE MOST DISTURBING EVIDENCE CONCERNS HER DIRECT INTERVENTION IN SABATINI’S PROFESSIONAL FUTURE. Rather than limiting herself to expressing opinions, Rasmussen directly addressed his prospective employer, @nyulangone, declaring: 🔴 “I’m content to inform all 365K of my Twitter followers what hiring David Sabatini says about your institutional values & integrity.” She subsequently encouraged another user: 🔴 “I encourage you to tag @nyulangone when discussing why they are hiring David Sabatini despite his long record of appalling conduct.” 365,000 FOLLOWERS. A PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYER. DIRECT PUBLIC PRESSURE. AN EXPLICIT CALL FOR OTHERS TO TAG THAT EMPLOYER. These communications document Rasmussen’s deliberate efforts to mobilize public pressure against Sabatini’s prospective employer, NYU Langone Health, and undermine his professional opportunities. THEN CAME THE JURY VERDICT. On October 16, 2026, a Massachusetts jury found Kristin Knouse liable for defamation and tortious interference with Sabatini’s professional relationships, awarding him $6 million in damages — approximately $9.6 million including prejudgment interest. That verdict was against Kristin Knouse, not Rasmussen. But it makes independent scrutiny of Rasmussen’s conduct all the more important. PUBLICLY AMPLIFYING SERIOUS ACCUSATIONS WITHOUT ADEQUATE DUE DILIGENCE IS NOT ACCOUNTABILITY. TARGETING A SCIENTIST’S PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYER AND ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO APPLY PRESSURE IS NOT SCIENTIFIC DEBATE. The central issue is not simply what Rasmussen said. It is what she sought to accomplish by directing those statements toward an institution considering Sabatini’s employment. ⚠️ The University of Saskatchewan and VIDO must confront the documented conduct of their affiliated researcher and determine whether it complied with their professional and institutional standards. A JURY HAS ALREADY ESTABLISHED LIABILITY FOR DEFAMATION AND TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE IN THIS ORDEAL. THE CONDUCT OF OTHERS WHO PUBLICLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE PRESSURE AGAINST SABATINI DESERVES ITS OWN INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION AND, WHERE WRONGDOING IS ESTABLISHED, FULL ACCOUNTABILITY. 📑 Examine the accompanying documentary evidence.

🚨 NOW: Sen. John Fetterman (D) GOES OFF on the anti-data center movement for benefitting China and making the CCP happy "This is our MANHATTAN PROJECT!" "I refuse this moratorium...I'm a pro data center Democrat too. Now, if anyone's seen that study that if you're angry about your electric bill that's about three to four percent increase to the data center usage? Now that's part of the misinformation! The Chinese love that. The Chinese were behind a lot of the propaganda. We have to win that." He's right, and President Trump said the same thing Build the data centers in the right areas, don't trample local communities, make them financially benefit residents, no electricity increases, and WIN 🇺🇸

Hillary Clinton on the Jensen Huang spy scandal: I will predict to you what will happen when Trump sees Xi Jinping in a few weeks. He will say to Xi Jinping, like he said to Putin, "Is this true?" And Xi Jinping will say, "Of course it's not, Donald. You know that we wouldn't do that to you." And then Trump will come out and say, "I asked President Xi if it were true, and he assured me it wasn't."
