I watch the markets to follow the wars. Insiders play info before it comes out publicly -- "Buy the rumor, sell the fact."

Polymarket created a way to get insider info by watching the odds spike when certain whales place bets based on what they know that others don't yet.

Sold four weeks ago. Bought the dip on gold. I would sell this rip but I am not holding anything right now so would have to short this rip via SQQQ which is dicey, 3x leverage.

Israel does not do ceasefires. A pint of raw milk warming in the sunshine will last longer than this "ceasefire". Then what?
