Futures are flashing green like runway lights—but there’s a crosswind ahead. The Supreme Court is circling tariffs, the AI trade is steering the plane, and every trader’s just trying to land profits without scraping the wings.

Day 37 of the Government shut down. Air traffic is getting thinned. Congress is is getting irritated with their canceled flights. The futures are green, but let’s not get cocky — we’ve seen this movie before. 

Traders are calling it a “rebound,” but it’s really just the market stretching before another sprint. SCOTUS is playing referee on tariffs, the AI hype train is full steam ahead, and the 10-Year yield’s sitting around 4.1%, whispering, “Don’t get comfortable.” 

TFT TRANSLATION: 

Futures are slightly up, optimism’s back from its coffee break, and the tape is doing its best “everything’s fine” impression. Just remember: green futures don’t mean green portfolios.

Tariff Tango: The Supreme Court might actually put some guardrails on presidential trade tantrums. Translation — less policy whiplash, more room for rational pricing… at least until the next tweetstorm.

NVIDIA: Jensen Huang tried to clean up yesterday’s “China will win AI” comment — turns out he meant, “China will maybe get a participation trophy.” NVDA traders exhaled, then bought the dip like they always do.

TESLA: Elon’s $1T pay plan is expected to pass because… who’s gonna say no to the guy building robot armies? Expect “Optimus” robot updates and more Mars-level ambition later today.

DRAFTKINGS: Just took over ESPN’s betting deal from Penn. Disney’s officially gambling — finally something Mickey and Wall Street have in common. Stock’s up big.

GOOGLE: Dropping its most powerful AI chip ever, basically telling NVIDIA, “We can make our own GPUs — with blackjack and Tensor cores.”

LAYOFFS: Tech’s cutting faster than a TikTok edit — up 183% from last month. Disruptive tech is “changing the landscape,” says Challenger. Yeah, mostly by bulldozing jobs.

FED TOOL ALERT: Chicago Fed Labor Market Indicators still publishing during the shutdown. Translation: D.C. might nap, but the Fed’s still watching you sleep.

Momentum’s back, and these names are leading the charge:

SNAP (+19%) – $500M buyback + $400M AI partnership = redemption arc complete. Snapchat just went from ghosted to growth.

APPLOVIN (+8%) – Mobile ad monster crushed it again. Still the Vegas slot machine of software—house always wins.

MRVL (+7%) – SoftBank takeover whispers back in play. Traders love rumors more than earnings.

LYFT (+6%) – Posted a profit. Miracles still happen in Q4.

FIGMA (+4%) – Beat and raised. Design nerds are cashing checks while startups chase vibes.

ARM (+3.8%) – AI chip royalty. Quiet flex, loud gains.

DVN (+2%) – Oil king keeps compounding. Dividend discipline > hype.

From paper cuts to full-blown amputations — here’s the damage.

QCOM (–1%) – Earnings solid, but Apple breakup blues hit the chart. Silicon heartbreak season.

WBD (–1%) – Slight miss. Hollywood fatigue meets content debt.

UAA (–1%) – Beat expectations, dropped anyway. Guess no one’s sprinting to buy spandex.

PZZA (–5%) – Lost Apollo’s buyout bid and missed earnings. Pizza’s cold, and so is investor appetite.

FTNT (–11%) – Trimmed guidance, tanked confidence. Firewalls couldn’t stop that sell-off.

DASH (–11%) – “Consumer fatigue” = you’re broke and cooking again. Delivery’s dead weight.

HUBS (–12%) – Beat on paper, but SMB budgets vanished. Marketing money’s gone missing.

ELF (–21%) – Beauty brand bruised. Lip gloss can’t hide margin erosion.

DUOL (–25%) – Bookings bombed. Fluent in “pain,” major in “guidance failure.”

STRENGTHS:
AI’s still the golden goose — Google’s new chip, ARM’s growth, and every startup screaming “AGI” keeps liquidity flowing into silicon. Crypto holding 100K adds some swagger.

WEAKNESSES:
Layoffs spiking. Valuations bloated. Everyone’s over-leveraged on the same AI trade. Reminder: when everyone’s on one side of the boat.

OPPORTUNITIES:
Tariff ruling could de-risk supply chains. DraftKings-ESPN shows how distribution deals still print cash. Energy quietly regaining leadership while everyone chases GPUs.

THREATS:
Policy roulette, valuation air pockets, and algorithmic whipsaws that can turn green arrows into red waterfalls faster than you can say “stop-hunt.”

TFT Lesson: 

Today’s play: Defend, then Strike.

Skip the open chaos. Let the algos burn themselves out. Wait for T.U.R.N. alignment —

Trend confirmation ✅ 

Retracement zone ✅ 

Volume ✅ 

RSI cross through 20 ✅

Then load the trade with precision. 

Because you don’t chase — you retrace.

• T – Tune In: Watch market internals, sentiment, and VIX after the election.

Time Freedom Traders operate

Wealth is never an accident; it’s the by-product of diligence multiplied by direction.
You don’t drift into prosperity — you design it.
And you don’t manifest abundance by “hoping the market runs.” You manifest it by mastering principle, pattern, and patience.

Let’s unpack it:

• “The plans of the diligent…”
  Diligence isn’t speed — it’s stewardship. In trading terms, that means journaling every setup, tracking every trade, reviewing every mistake. That’s the slow work that creates fast profits later.

• “…lead surely to abundance.”
  Notice it doesn’t say immediately. The promise is surely. That’s a divine version of compounding — small, consistent action that builds unstoppable momentum over time.

• “…but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.”
  Hasty is the trader clicking buy on emotion, chasing the candle, ignoring the plan. It’s FOMO in biblical form. Myron would call that “seed without soil” — effort with no structure. You might see a spike, but you won’t see sustainability.
  
  

The Trading Translation

Faith without a framework is foolishness.
Every trade, every day, every dollar — you’re either compounding diligence or compounding distraction.

The Time Freedom Trading mindset is this:
Patience is not passive. It’s profitable.

Your diligence is your data. Your plan is your proof.

Because while everyone else is panicking for pennies, the disciplined trader is quietly stacking Providence — one deliberate decision at a time.

• Think like a Trader and Investor
• Build your own "consistency code"
• Grow into Profits with Providence.
