While everyone’s rushing into beaten-down AI stocks, nuclear plays, and quantum names after they got trampled the last few weeks, I’m doing something that shocked my own team in a closed-door meeting: I have zero long-term stock positions. The market rallied hard today after this morning’s selloff. People are calling it “buying the dip.”  But

Don Kaufman here.  Here’s a truth nobody wants to face. The entire financial sector – every bank in America combined – doesn’t equal the market cap of two tech stocks. Let me break this down with actual numbers that’ll make you question everything you think you know about diversification. The Shocking Math JP Morgan is

Don Kaufman here.  I Just wrapped up Schwab’s Trading 360 show. Marley and Kayden had me break down three trades live on air. Apple. Silver. ExxonMobil. Three completely different setups. Three different strategies. But here’s the thing… Each one is based on the same core principle I’ve been hammering home: retail options order flow is

Don Kaufman here.  And welcome to another episode of “The Media Gets Everything Wrong.” This morning everyone’s talking about the big rally on government reopening news.  Futures were up 62 handles when I woke up.  Every major channel is running the same story – markets celebrate as Senate passes deal to end shutdown. Here’s the

Don Kaufman here. My computer literally crashed the moment I started talking sh*t about Apple. I’m not kidding. Mid-sentence, explaining why AAPL was about to get destroyed, my entire setup went dark. Had to restart everything. “I was talking crap about Apple. Apple, yeah. By the way, if it happens again, it’s like, you know,

Don Kaufman here.  Holy crap, I’ve never seen anything like this. We’re sitting at all-time highs – literally a day or two removed from them – and retail is acting like it’s the end of the world. The liquidity concentration has never been more extreme, and it’s getting worse by the day. The Numbers Don’t

Don Kaufman here. This morning on Schwab’s Big 3 Show, I warned about something most traders are missing. Stocks hitting all-time highs while economic weakness builds underneath. “Bearish feel out there in the marketplace,” I said – but these names keep climbing anyway. Amazon just gained $200 billion in market cap off a $38 billion

Don Kaufman here.  While everyone else was losing their minds during the April 2025 crash, I was placing my biggest trade of the year.  Not because I’m reckless – because I know something most traders don’t: chaos is where the real money gets made. Let me be clear about something: I haven’t taken one losing

Don Kaufman here.  You know what nobody’s talking about with this morning’s $38 billion Amazon-OpenAI deal? It’s not about the deal itself – it’s about the desperation behind it. Sam Altman is writing checks his company can’t afford, and he’s running out of time to find the money.  That money has to come from one

Don Kaufman here.  I need to tell you about this Microsoft butterfly that just closed for 297%. Earlier this week I put on the trade at 63 cents. This morning, it was up over 100%. You know what everyone was saying? “Take the money and run, Don. Lock in your gains.” Screw that. You want
