Where does someone consider going long right now?

I'm interested in anyone's take. TA, fundamentals, cycles, etc.

I'm probably going long more physical with proceeds from protective puts and averaging up, just not sure when. Also, obviously very difficult to average up.
Opinion can be defamatory if it implies a false factual basis. Lots and lots of precedent for this.

The public official part you are correct about though.

I’m just some guy from Iowa though, probably better check with @LINK however, he apparently not only practices law, he practices law in every area, and is an expert in every area of law. Pretty remarkable really. Notwithstanding the ethics issue posting on a message board would create, but he’s an attorney, so I’m sure he has thought through that.
Whatever it takes to get me out of my volatility long. McRibs work as well as anything else right now.

I went long 20 contracts at $100K, and I'm long calls (300) on IBIT @ $64.00 Strike. I went pretty big this time.

Seriously considering adding to my physical BTC also. Not sure yet.

I closed silver yesterday. I closed short term long BTC trades (volatility). Not sure when to plunge more capital into long BTC physical.
They spied on him and helped to set him up. One needs to assume if I know this, it is likely Trump knows this also.

I think you're correct. Which also makes me speculate that at some point the volatility trade, long this leg, is going to be a good trade. Up to, and unless the tariffs never materialize, or get backed down.

Not sure what the entry point is however. I have open orders at $110K.

I should have gone long at 111ish. I make a lot more on IBIT options than I do on futures contracts. Of course I have mixed emotions since I’m always long physical BTC.

I’m also toying with the idea of selling my silver. The Russian expert on here called me a contrarian indicator once upon a time. lololol.
Hopped back on the volatility trade. I was short and closed around noon. AS per the norm, I should have waited longer.
"The FBI has fired multiple employees and dismantled its CR-15 public corruption unit following revelations that Republican lawmakers’ private communications were allegedly monitored during the Biden administration, Fox News reported. The bureau’s response came just one day after internal documents surfaced detailing surveillance tied to the Jan. 6 investigation."

From Newsweek. Fox News web-site has issues right now.
"Kash Patel Says FBI Agents Fired Over Monitoring GOP Senators"

One Headline. This has been reported all over since this morning.
The Feds go to the phone provider in certain circumstances. The phone subscribers by subscribing voluntarily share who they call with the provider.

They just got a call log in this case and from what we know.

I’m not sure I agree with it, but there is precedent. I’m not an attorney, although I probably know more about these things than SFP as the most obvious example.

I had thought, and I’m not certain, it needs to be a national security concern. I’m 100% sure about that.

And again, I’m curious why it was only Republican call logs. I know what it looks like, an I know what I strongly suspect.

Long story made short, the Feds are cocksuckers and have always been.
Yeah. For third party records where the fist party voluntarily shares. So in this case since they signed up for telephone service voluntarily, they voluntarily agree to share who they call with the phone company. Can’t wire tap, but Feds can ask phone providers for a list of calls made.

It is what it is, and as I posted previously, I still think we need to know why the requested records were requested, and why the requested records were only for the minority party.
They might not have needed a warrant for third party call logs.

Doesn’t change the fact that I think everyone needs more information as to why the FBI requested call logs and the requested call logs were all from the party not holding Executive Branch power at that time.
I think you’re correct in most circumstances.
