Folks, we've got a lot to talk about today. Number One markets continue to heat up as they build onto aggressive momentum. What's going on behind the scenes here? and what is the play with this? Number Two, A major investor and co-founder of Paler, just sold Paler stock amidst its impressive rally and breakout. Who is this and why might they be doing this? Why? And finally, this is quite scary in terms of an escalation.

So we are in an extreme breakout from the downtrend that has plagued the market since the end of July Bouncing more than 10% off lows hit just about a month ago, you look at the S&P 5 Hundo 3-we performance. This has been the best 3-we performance since May 2020.

When looking at CTA Alos positioning has gone up to highs we haven't seen since 2015 and now surpassed all-time highs. Now what you got to remember is that Ctas they ride Trends They don't try to predict a trend, they just simply ride trends. When they see a trend breaking out like we've seen, they start really adding to that Trend and then that causes the rest of the market to further want to jump in due to the Fomo effect. What the Alos care about is just making money and riding whatever the current trend is.

now. the other Dynamic going on right now is Corporate BuyBacks The Power of the Corporate buyback. You're seeing a lot more corporate BuyBacks now than you have in any other week since 2010, but not everyone is bullish Right now. Corporate clients are pouring money into markets through buyback.

Hedge funds are pouring money into markets through their Ctas and other relevant funds, but institutional and Retail investors are selling in Mass AKA A lot of what's driving today's market are simply BuyBacks and Elos and largely just in the top Tech Names Now, why might retail and institutional investors be selling? Well, the last few times we've had aggressive uptrends, retail and institutional investors got completely dumped on. and so they this time around, this rally around aren't too fast to jump on the trend again. You know what they say Fool me once. Fool me twice, blah blah blah blah.

You ain't going to get fooled again. But history shows that retail and institutional investors as well tend to like to jump back into markets once they've already gone up to newer and newer all-time highs. So once you've got to a point where you've broken out another key resistance level, you're going to see a lot of retail say oh, okay. well, we didn't want to buy it at lower prices.

We're going to buy it at higher prices and institutional investors that manage mutual funds. They start getting phone calls saying hey, you need to reinvest our funds. We can't be sitting out of the market. that's rallying and then all of a sudden they start rallying it up as well.

But what are we hearing from analysts right now? the analysts of the annal? Well, a analyst said this quote from Business Insider Despite an impressive month toate gain thus far, there is still a fair amount of negativity and concern regarding stock market Direction Bski, the analyst said, but that negativity among investors should serve as fuel for the market as stocks are poised to climb the wall of worry heading into the end of the year. We continue to view this as a bull market and that the path of least resistance is higher stock prices through year end. Bsky said the extremely strong start to 2023 provided a buffer for recent weakness and and starts that strong have typically led to continued gains even with bumps along the way. Now it's time for you to let me know.

Do you think we're going to have a year-end rally a rally into the end of the year? Or do you think we're going to sell off? Let us know in the comment section down below. But a lot of the market right now is positioning for that year end rally at least in terms of share. BuyBacks And in terms of hedge funds and their Quant funds and the Ctas that they use. So the question is, are markets going to continue to Rally You can let us know down below.

We love hearing from you next paler Stock. So paler stock just broke out past previous recovery highs and is building into the 20s. This is the highest close in 2 years, Paler has finally been getting a ton of recognition. After its last earnings and markets are finally reallocating into it.

and you actually just saw a billionaire investor Phip Lefont his quote to management. They just took a massive position in the tier of Palent and in fact, you look at Vanguard Black Rock Renaissance Technologies They all also purchased chairs in Q3 But now all of a sudden we've got a major insight: Ider and a co-founder of Paler going and selling a bunch of shares Peter Teal's Mithil LP Venture Capital fund just announced that unloaded 48 million in Paler shares acquired a decade ago. It's worth mentioning by the way, that Mithil is also related to Lord of the Rings just like the name Paler is I Love how they name things. Maybe I Got to watch Lord of the Rings for the first time.

But anyways, this $48 million worth of shares is a sizable chunk to sell this quickly, but not much compared to the overall Paler Shares that Mr Peter Teal controls directly or through his various funds. So the question is, is this going to be the start of a broader Trend Or or is this just a one-off event? Big argument people are saying right now is, well, Paler Shares are up some 220% year to date. Which means Teal thinks now is the time to lock in some profits because that's all it's going to be going up for a while. it's already preactor in too much.

Just look at history. we just hit a 2-year High how much longer can this go? But that's not exactly what I think is going on I don't think that's what Peter Te is thinking and why he's selling right now. What I think is going on is I think Peter Teal and Alex Karp and all of these guys over at Palen here are looking at all the data they get from different companies and government departments that they work with around the world and they are coming to the conclusion that Capital markets are going to go into a downward tail spin in the not so distant future. They don't know exactly what it is, but they're reading the Tea Leaves of all of their client tell that they have insane amounts of data from the exact board over at Paler has access to some of the most secretive, upto-date content that anybody in the world has.

So with what they're seeing, they're trying to think Hm, maybe just maybe Capital markets aren't going to be the place to be in for 2024 And so they're trying to take some money off the table in this case Peter Teel specifically. but if you look at what Mr Karp has done in terms of managing his company the last couple years, he's been preparing in Mass the company for this tighter Capital Market condition. so that's why I think Peter teal sell and I think he's going to sell more because he wants that cash ready for the coming environment and whatever projects he needs to take on. Or maybe he's going to Reby Paler stock at lower prices in a year or so.

But it's worth mentioning for Paler itself, dips tend to not stained for very long. Dips have historically been excellent buying periods for Paler and as we head into more and more momentum. I Would be surprised if this doesn't go much higher before it does get into its next dip cycle. Next story is from the Jerusalem Post An Israeli ship named Galaxy leader was hijacked by Yemen's hoofy rebels in the Red Sea on Sunday According to Arab media.

Okay, so you pull up the map: Yemen is down here. part of Yemen is controlled by the Iran-backed militant group known as the Houthi rebels and they've publicly declared war against Israel. Now what a lot of people don't understand is these hoofy guys. While they are relatively far from Israel they do have access to controlling this general area where Israel has strategic but also a ton of supply chain ships.

and this particular ship was a cargo ship that left a port in Turkey headed for India wasn't even connecting to Israel or anything like that and often times what Israelis and Israeli companies will do in order to avoid their ships having any problems with countries that don't like Israel. Well usually what they'll do is they'll use a bunch of different entities to Cloud the connection between Israel and the ship for example. example, this ship that got caught was a Bahamas flagged ship leased from a British company to a Japanese company and the British company is only partly owned by an Israeli so very very clouded connection there to Israel. But yet they still went and hijacked it.

And these houthis and by extension Iran are escalating this conflict in a major major way. They're sending a big message here folks. What's the message? Well, it's pretty clear global trade is under major threat. If you work with Israel you have any connection to Israel you even think about is is well your ship is going to be under threat.

We might hijack it. We might stop it from getting to Port your life could be in danger. Now this is what a Houthi link News Network Said quote Houthi will Target all types of ships that carry the flag of the Zionist entity or are operated by or owned by Israeli companies calling on all countries of the world to withdraw their citizens working on the cruise of the enemy entity ships and to avoid shipping on them. Again, this is a signal that more and more trade and one of the most lucrative and important strategic areas of of the global economy is going to be under threat of attack by the various militant groups that Iran is funding in this General Middle East regy.

This is what the Prime Minister's office in Israel said quote. This is another Act of Iranian t-word which expresses a Leap Forward in Iran's aggression against the citizens of the Free World and creates International implications regarding the security of global shipping lanes. Now, this escalation from Iran back forces is coming at the same time as pressure in the US to stop Israel's forces from pillaging Gaza grow. A couple days ago, Netanyahu explained that Israel has not been successful in its bid to minimize Gaza civilian casualties, which has been very very apparent.

If you're looking at the death count, you have some 1,200 killed in Israel and some 5600 injured. But in Gaza you have at least 11,500 killed, including 4700 children and almost 30,000 people injured with 70% of them being children and women. Now it's known that Hamas likes to use different tactics to put civilians In Harm's Way in order to increase public pressure on the international scale or to get is Isel Not to Target that area, but at the same time, Gaza is so tightly populated that it's very, very hard to imagine any sort of massive strike on that area without huge civilian casualties, right? And sadly, that has been the result of Israel's campaign into that region. Now it's my view that no civilian deserves to die for Wars that they didn't have anything to do with in the first place and that's no matter what side the person is on.

But these numbers are causing a lot of Americans right now to start questioning if Israel is going too far in its response to Hamas quote. A Reuters Lpss survey conducted between November 13th to the 14th found that just under a third 32% of Americans say that the US should continue to back Israel in the conflict a 9-point drop from the 41% who said the country should support its close Ally in mid October and I think the big issue that Americans have with sending Aid abroad is that we in the beginning we think, oh, oh, we're helping our allies so much and then when you start seeing those casualties tick up all of a sudden, Americans start thinking, hm, why are we sending so much money over there and weapons and prolonging the war and prolonging deaths, why don't we take more of a role of a neutral model moderator, then somebody who goes and acts as a prolonger of a war, somebody that escalates things on a global stage. Maybe we should back up and just be a neutral moderator now. Easier said than done for America given the last 100 years of foreign policy history, but still, that's the sentiment shift that you are seeing right now, and you've seen that with several different conflicts over the last few years.

Of course, these are also proxy wars, right? West versus East and as America gets more and more entrenched into them, it's causing more and more problems. Anyways, folks, let us know what you think down below. Give us your thoughts. Did we cover this fairly? Did we not cover this failure?
