   Comments Global indices higher as US yields, US$ oil lower and WTIC lower magically with conflict increasing in the middle east, maybe there are midterms soon:) USA indices are led by QQQ and DIA!  with both software and semis higher. MAGS led by NVDA and TSLA with NVDA continuing to be powered by short term options with bargain basement IV making calls cheap.  Cathy Woods is a genius again as speculative tech is leading with genomics, spec software and now space the fave of monkeys. CEG signed a 20y contract with GOOGL for power which is lifting the stock and utilities and monkeys are chasing the nuclear names, even the ones with only power point charts for building a reactor in a decade:) The hot stock rotation algo is pointing at security with ZS CEO on CNBC and company reaffirmed guidance, maybe one day they will turn a profit:)  In Canadian market SHOP has caught the eye of the monkeys and continuing to power higher premarket. TSX has been wallowing but banks may bounce with the pullback in yields but oil stocks could be pressured.  SPX and QQQ are at the call walls which can act as resistance or lead to further move higher. Indices are extended in the short term but absent actual data the train can continue. The warning level on pullbacks is 7700. Fed meeting minutes Wed may move markets but otherwise there is nothing concrete to move markets and WH will be working overtime to reduce oil and yield futures with midterms coming which has me wondering if or when Iran shakes things up.

ARKK

ARKK holds a basket of the type which are running i.e. genomic, software,space with attributes expensive, potentially profitless and high short interest. Squeezed Mon and perhaps can run for a day or 2 but a pure momentum trade until or if the macro becomes a thing. Its a basket of fave monkey names like TSLA, SPCX, TEM, CRISP, TXG which can be traded separately. ARKK has options and 93.5 is a squeeze level which it is above with monkey target 100. Risky since extended and and not for the faint of heart. Spreads or flies are a way to trade a blow-off top if WH can manipulate markets higher.
