Health optimization trend over; vice stocks bottom
Health optimization/healthmaxxing has topped out as a cultural trend, especially after Brian Johnson took it to an extreme that most people do not want to look like; the return to vice and IRL living makes sin stocks Philip Morris and Budweiser likely bottoms.

Forced selling marked bottom in AI names
Leopold was forced to liquidate his public equity book at the bottom; his largest AI/data-center names have since ripped massively, including Nebius, Bloom Energy, SanDisk, CoreWeave, and Applied Digital, showing forced-selling capitulation marked major bottoms.

Hyperliquid setup strong above 60
Hyperliquid is showing its best price action since August and is the strongest crypto setup right now; if it can reclaim the $60 level, it would look really interesting and could be good for the broader crypto market.

Robinhood putting in decent little bottom
Robinhood is up 5% and appears to be putting in a decent little bottom; if confirmed, that bottom is an interesting setup.

El Nino threatens cocoa supply
A severe El Nino is developing and is focused on West Africa, which produces about 60% of the world's cocoa beans; cocoa is already moving up only in response to the supply threat.
