HIMS is a strong short-term momentum trade.
HIMS is a great short-term attention trade driven by RFK Jr.'s push to reclassify peptides and deregulate the gray market, combined with their highly effective business model of selling finasteride and ED pills. However, it is purely a momentum trade that should be exited once momentum turns.

Crypto feels narratively weak despite decent charts.
Despite decent charts, the crypto market feels narratively weak, and the fact that low-quality garbage meme coins like PNUT are ripping is a scary sign that warrants caution.

Nike's chart looks horrifying despite insider buying.
Despite Tim Cook and the Nike CEO buying shares and the stock getting recent coverage, the chart looks completely horrifying and unattractive.

Avoid failing companies pivoting to AI narratives.
Failing companies like Allbirds and MyAI pivoting to AI are just producing low-quality, slop-driven pumps that will face diminishing returns, making them obvious scams to avoid.

GLP-1 weight loss drugs are up only.
The demand for GLP-1 weight loss drugs is a massive, structural trend that will continue to grow indefinitely, making companies like Eli Lilly strong long-term plays.

Avoid the SpaceX IPO due to dumping.
SpaceX moving up the vesting schedule for employee shares ahead of its IPO signals a massive retail liquidity drain and exit liquidity event, making it a highly dangerous asset to buy at launch.

Avoid trading oil due to erratic action.
Despite Trump calling for higher oil prices and ongoing geopolitical tensions, oil has proven to be a terrible and mentally draining way to express a directional view on the war, making it better to avoid trading entirely.
