Trade Ideas

Short Zillow on real estate agent oversaturation
Too many people are becoming real estate agents despite low transaction volumes, creating a social arbitrage opportunity. Shorting Zillow is a way to bet against this over-saturated industry.
Z LOW

Zcash is the strongest crypto
Zcash is the strongest cryptocurrency right now, I have a great entry price and have sold none. It is the best coin and I still like it.
ZEC MED

VVV looks great
VVV looks great as well, alongside other alts that are performing well. No further detail but the comment indicates a bullish view.
VVV LOW

Watching copper for long entry
Copper has put in a brutal rejection but I liked it this time and almost took the third entry. I may take a taker on the third one, watching for a potential long setup.
COPPER LOW

Bought a small feeler in Micron
Micron is down 20% and I threw a small feeler. It has the most juice among the names I'm looking at, even though it's hard to enter vertical charts, it felt like a decent entry point.
MU LOW

Hyperliquid gains on SEC tokenization ruling
The SEC leaning toward allowing third-party tokenized stocks without issuer consent is a huge catalyst for Hyperliquid. It seems insanely big and I'm watching this setup closely.
