Explosive FTX revelation could rock Robinhood

Are we witnessing the end of crypto? ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Is this the end of crypto? Sam Bankman-Fried allegedly bought a 7.6% stake in Robinhood (HOOD) with $546 million from his hedge fund, Alameda Research. So now it's not just a question of what will happen to FTX (and all those who had deposits with them), but what will happen to Robinhood. Rather surprisingly, on a day when there was a large-scale sell0ff that left few unscathed, HOOD was actually up slightly. Robinhood is in serious trouble because of the destruction of the cryptocurrency market. It laid off about 20% of its employees in August... and that was after laying off about 9% of its employees in April. According to Vanda Research, retail traders lost about 30% in 2022... and that was before the declines at the end of December. That comes out to about $350 billion. (So much for the Santa rally). There's little evidence things are going to get better. In fact, we may be about to do the stupid lockdowns and COVID-19 panic again. Now that China has lifted its zero-COVID policy, cases are spreading wildly. In one viral story, about half the passengers on a flight from China to Italy had the disease. What to believe? Who is there to trust? These are questions with no easy answers. Even once apolitical institutions have been tainted by the brutal political battles over the last year. And social media platforms are the biggest battlegrounds of all - just look at what trying to run Twitter has done to Elon Musk and Tesla (TSLA). I've developed the [DRAGNET]( )approach because of this situation. We focus all of our attention on one stock, we use a quantitative approach, and we go for gains in any market conditions. The Second Pandemic Era is going to be a harrowing time for investors who think they have this game figured out. Few are going to be able to conquer these conditions alone.

[Click this link right here for all the details]( ) WORD ON THE STREET New Stock Will Join S&P 500, Home Sales Down, Putin's Oil Gambit - GE Healthcare Will Head To Front Of The Line - When General Electric Co. spins off Global Healthcare Technologies Inc. on January 4, the new company will immediately join the S&P 500. The new company will have the ticker GEHC. Vornado Realty Trust (VNO) will get the boot, being demoted to the S&P Midcap 400. - Lowest Reading In History - The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reports that its Pending Home Sales Index has fallen by 4% to 73.9. This is the lowest rating since the NAR came up with it in 2001. "Falling home sales and construction have hurt broader economic activity," said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. It's the 10th straight monthly decline in the index - Putin Strikes Back With Oil Export Ban - Now that the G-7 has imposed a price cap on Russian oil, Moscow is striking back. Beginning on February 1, Russia will not provide crude oil or other oil products to any nations that abide by the cap. The ban will last for five months. The result is that there is no longer a truly global oil market, but a divided one based on geopolitical coalitions. - Here We Go Again... - I feel like I've seen this movie before. Beginning on January 5, all travelers arriving in the United States from Chinese territory will need to be tested for COVID-19 two days before their departure. Those who are arriving via South Korea or Toronto, Canada after initially leaving from China will also need to be tested. The CDC is reportedly frustrated because it can't verify what's happening on the ground in China. You mean the Chinese government might not be reporting accurate information? Who can imagine such a thing?

[Stay ahead of market shifts and save 70% today.]( ) HOT SPOTS: What's Going on in Geopolitics - The Rings Of Power - President Vladimir Putin gave out eight rings to the leaders of the Commonwealth of Independent States - and of course the Lord of the Rings jokes have started. The bigger problem for President Putin is that the CIS has lost its diplomatic unity. Only one leader, Belarus's Alexander Lukashenko, actually put the ring on. - Ukraine Dismantles Catherine The Great Statue – Ukrainians in Odessa (which we'll probably soon be told to call Odesa) voted to take down a statue of the Czarina Catherine II, Catherine the Great. It's just one of numerous statues that Ukrainians are taking down as they try to distinguish their national identity from Russia. Still, the vote to take down the statue was close - 50.2% wanted the Czarina toppled. - "Bakhmut Stands" - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hailed the courage of his forces in Bakhmut, where continuous Russian attacks have failed to take the almost destroyed city. "There is no hour when the terrible roar of artillery does not sound," said the president. "Still, Bakhmut stands." Russian forces in the area are mostly from the Wagner private military company, which has launched another recruitment drive in Russian prisons. CUTTING EDGE: What[']( )s Happening In Tech - Drone Deliveries Underway - And so it begins. Amazon has begun delivery of products via airborne drones in Lockeford, California and College Station, Texas. "Our aim is to safely introduce our drones to the skies," said Natalie Banke of Amazon Air. "We are starting in these communities and will gradually expand deliveries to more customers over time." - Metaverse Misses – The Next Big Thing may have been a tad bit overblown. Sales of virtual reality devices actually declined by 2% year-over-year from 2021 to 2022. Meta Platforms's Quest 2 headset continues to dominate the market, but Mark Zuckerberg's big play is not paying off overall. - You Can Be My Wingman Anytime - Paramount+ has scored a streaming success with "Top Gun: Maverick," which is now the service's most watched premiere. It shot down the previous record holder, "Sonic The Hedgehog 2," by 60%. So many people tuned in that it even carried over to other Tom Cruise movies, with the Mission Impossible franchise getting a 140% increase in views. Fighter Jets Will Never Stop Being Cool FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION "Pure, single-direction trades like long calls, long puts…and debit spreads…require a significant movement in the underlying stock or index to be winners." Even the best can't win every time... and great traders often score an only 50% to 60% win rate on speculative trades. That's just not good enough for us. Chris Hood lays out the better alternative, "income trades," high-probability positions with a predictable profit and hold time that can give you a steady stream of cash. Here's how to get started.
