Ideas

An LLM scores Trump's Truth Social posts for directional tone with high confidence (>0.8). The author's strategy assumes that highly confident bullish posts from this feed are contrarian indicators for risk assets. Buy safe-haven assets like TLT (or GLD) when the LLM detects high-confidence bullish sentiment. The signal may be noise, or the LLM confidence threshold (0.8) is arbitrarily set and uncalibrated.

Biotech sponsors register Phase 3 trial entries on the government registry ClinicalTrials.gov. This data source is public but not heavily raced by high-frequency algorithms, leaving a window to price in the catalyst. Buy whitelisted biotech stocks (or proxy XBI) upon Phase 3 trial registration and hold for 60 days. Phase 3 trials can still fail, and the 60-day hold period exposes the trade to broader sector volatility.

An LLM scores Trump's Truth Social posts for directional tone with high confidence (>0.8). The strategy assumes that highly confident bearish posts are contrarian indicators, signaling a buying opportunity for equities. Buy broad market equities (SPY or QQQ) when the LLM detects high-confidence bearish sentiment. The market may actually sell off on bearish political news, breaking the inversion logic.
