🌟 FINAL THOUGHTS & TRADING DISCIPLINE

This is shaping up to be one of the most volatile weeks of 2026. Trump's Greenland tariff bomb dropped over the weekend, and markets are processing the implications for global trade. The U.S. market gets a day to digest via MLK holiday, but European pain Monday will set the tone for Tuesday.

Key Themes:

1. Geopolitical Risk Premium is BACK - defense wins

2. Tariff Uncertainty = elevated VIX

3. Earnings Season can override macro noise

4. Safe Havens (gold, bonds, yen) in demand

Trading Rules for This Week:

• Size smaller - volatility is elevated

• Wait for confirmation - don't front-run Tuesday open

• Focus on earnings catalysts - INTC & GE are gifts

• Avoid the noise - Trump will tweet/post, stay disciplined

• Take profits faster - don't get greedy in this environment

Remember: The best traders make money in chaos. This is our environment. The setup is clear:

• Buy defense (GE, LMT, RTX)

• Buy domestic chips (INTC)

• Buy safe havens (Gold)

• Avoid tariff targets (European exporters)

• Be selective on earnings (INTC/GE yes, NFLX no)
