AAOI & the Fed
Before I tell you about the AAOI Trade I shared with the WhatsApp Broadcast Group last week (now up 38% in less than 5 days), just a few quick words about the Fed. Wednesday's rate cut coupled with no hawkish surprises from Powell's conference was a launchpad for USD weakness, metals strength and equities' surge (Dow30 hit new record). Markets can look beyond Oracle's disappointing earnings to eat the dish served by the Powell (lower rates, short term liquidity while inflation isn't completely vanquished). Anytime you hear/see/smell rate cuts during an inflationary environment, the above occurs. Altcoins and Bitcoins are slow to rally, but Bitcoin miners afre flexing their muscle. See below the AAOI Trade I shared with the WBG, whereby we entered at $26 on Friday and now its $36. Meanwhile, Reddit is up 68% since we bought it in July.
