Elliott Wave Trader predicted the Covid crash and recovery to 6100. They believe the Market is stretched here and is likely due for either a minor pullback to about 5800 and then back to ATH’s at about 6800. But, base case is Market is topping in a 100 year chart. Could take days, weeks or months but after the TOP we’re headed into a Big Bear lasting 10-15 years, reaching to 2500-3000, maybe lower.

I am bullish on UNH based on a few very simple ideas. 1) Despite all the legal issues and reputational issues surrounding UNH, their revenues had been growing non-stop for the past 15 years without fail. 2) Tutanota LLC offered $325/share for UNH was rejected few days ago and they wanted to buy 125K shares, about 1% of the company. Both Tutanota and the shareholders knew that UNH is worth way more than $325/share. It is priced at $302/share today. 3) UNH is a component of many indices including SPY 500, S&P 100, Dow Jones, DJ Composite, NYSE TOP US 100, and many many more. Every month, there is constantly non-stop buying pressure without fail. 4) UNH is a blue chip company hiring over 440k employees and is the largest healthcare company in the world. We're getting a 50% discount off to buy this great company. Yes, I am extremely bullish on UNH. Short term, sure the price can be manipulated and swing around, but long term, I am pretty sure the company can exceed its previous all time highs. This is one company that I can buy and forget and sleep well at night. Healthcare is not going to disappear. Humans grow old.

#“Too Late” Powell complains about costs, much of which were produced by the Biden Fake “Government,” but he could do the biggest and best job for our Country by helping to lower Interest Rates and, if he reduced them to the number they should be, 1% to 2%, that “numbskull” would be saving the United States of America up to $1 Trillion Dollars per year. I fully understand that my strong criticism of him makes it more difficult for him to do what he should be doing, lowering Rates, but I’ve tried it all different ways. I’ve been nice, I’ve been neutral, and I’ve been nasty, and nice and neutral didn’t work! He’s a dumb guy, and an obvious Trump Hater, who should have never been there, I listened to someone that I shouldn’t have listened to, and Biden shouldn’t have reappointed him. We have virtually No Inflation, our Economy is doing really well, and will soon be doing, with the tremendous Tariff Income coming in, and Factories being built all over the Country, better than it has ever done before. If he was concerned about Inflation or anything else, then all he has to do is bring the Rate down, so we can benefit on Interest Costs, and raise it in the future when and if these “other elements” happen (which I doubt they will!). Don’t say that you think there will be Inflation sometime in the future, because there isn’t now but, if there is, raise the Rates! We should be at the TOP of the attached List, not the bottom. I don’t know why the Board doesn’t override this Total and Complete Moron! Maybe, just maybe, I’ll have to change my mind about firing him? But regardless, his Term ends shortly! Trump, Truth Social

Introducing the stock that you’ve never heard of that will make me a millionaire. NervGen Pharma, $NGENF. Currently there are 0 cures to spinal cord injury derived paralysis, not a single one. 0 ways repair the central nervous system. This means Spinal Cord Injury, MS, ALS, and many more are untreatable, that is until now. NervGen Pharma is based off the revolutionary work of late Doctor Jerry Silver who found that after injury to the spinal cord/Central nervous system(CNS), scars form around the nerve endings. Previously nobody knew what prevented the CNS from repairing itself the way a cut on our skin or broken bones do. Dr. Silver theorized these scars were the reason behind the prevention of the body healing itself within the CNS. After testing this is animal models in preclinical trials on rodents, they found after spinal cord injury in rodents, rodents were able to regain a remarkable amount of function or their lost limbs after spinal cord injury. The trials were a great success. After that the company’s main drug, NVG-291, was tested to be safe in healthy individuals in phase 1a clinical trials and the only noticeable affect was a temporary small red rash at the site of injection(keep this in mind). The trials were a success and fully safe for a fact and approved by the fda to test for efficacy in phase 1b/2a trials. This is where we are currently however there’s more to know. The trial is set up with 40 total participants split into 2 groups of 20. (1)Those who have been injured for 20-90 days and (2)those who have been injured for 1-10 years. Within those groups of 20 there are 10 who will be given a placebo and 10 who will be given the drug, NVG-291. Those who receive the drug are given it daily for 4 months at the highest dose tested for safety in the phase 1a clinical trials. Data was set to be released only when both groups have completed the trial however one group has already completed their and the data for that group is set to be released early June. HOWEVER, the juicy part is that there have been rumors from the participants in the trial that received the drug that it has worked. Mainly one story is that a patient went from walking 30 feet in just over 15 minutes before the drug to 45 seconds after receiving the drug. This is groundbreaking. That is because not only is this significant recovery from spinal cord injury very rare, but ALSO after one year since injury it is thought that any recovery after is next to impossible. These leaks were from the group that has been injured for over a year so this progress is INSANE. ON TOP OF THAT, the one who leaked explained that they didn’t know if they received the drug or placebo because the study is blinded however they did notice that same red rash when they were given their shots. The same red rash from when the drug was given is earlier trials that the placebo probably didnt give. The placebo wouldn’t have this effect at all. I myself tracked down and verified this information through the patients donation page and routine updates from the family of the patient themselves on caringbridge. On top of that the company could charge insane amounts for this drug based on the lifetime cost of living with a spinal cord injury. This stock is also microscopic, with a market cap of under 200 million. Companies with similar or somewhat worse results have seen a valuation of 2.6Billion(Look at history of Longbridge Pharmaceuticals). Even more, the stock isn’t even listed on all major brokerages like Robinhood and when this stock hits those exchanges and news is realeased to this public this stock in my opinion will do something we may never get the chance to see in our lifetime as well. Everything I have researched points to putting at least SOMETHING in this stock and I really do think this is the opportunity of a lifetime for those that seize it. https://www.caringbridge.org/site/9296f6ac-fd25-3f9e-ae12-a84a95010608read this

> Can you explain why you think you need to perfectly time both the top and bottom? You don't need to be perfect, but the stats show us that the vast majority of growth occurs in very rapid and very unpredictable spurts. So even over a 30 year horizon sitting out ONLY THE TOP FEW trading days (like few = you can count them on one hand) is disastrous to your average rate of return. That's why none of the big investors try to "time the market" by just sitting things out. The risk is too great. Now if you have your Baofeng radio tuned to the frequency of one of the listening devices on the new Qatar-Force 1, you may be able to properly time the next pump-n-dump.

This is going to be pure comedy when the shortages + tariffs kick in in a couple weeks. This EO is coming out of a place of pure panic as the unavoidable consequences of his asinine economic policy bletherings rapidly approach. Consequences that every single American will be getting gut punched with making it almost impossible to spin or distract away. Some of the most powerful interests on planet earth aren't about to kiss 50-75% of their revenue away without a fight at the same time that shortages + tariffs of the same, ON TOP of the massive cuts to Medicare/caid are sending Americans into a complete panic. Magic nonsense in a Truth post isn't going to quell any of that. All this means is that nothing will actually improve on pharmaceutical costs especially in the short term, while the regime takes it hard in every hole at once. What's this mean for the markets? Who knows, the entire market is a meme stock now. Unless you were invited to the Single chat group, you've got no more idea than I do.

Ok, but here is the thing.... all the private risk is held AT THE TOP: billionaires and the most prominent institutions. Look at endowments.... they sold all their liquid holdings to go all in on privates. Most wealthy people are in the same asset allocation strategy in private markets. The risk to their net worth is in the devaluation of these privates, not their public equity holdings. This would also trigger a crisis that would put the GFC to shame in terms of structural risk. This is trillions of dollars that are overvalued, illiquid, and unregulated. Clearly, there is distress, as shown by APO/BX/Shaw stepping in to help, as wiping out all the banks is not in anyone's best interest. It still doesn't change the fact that SOMEONE will hold these losses... and it will not be the 0.1%.
