Wall Street Bound Is Rocking

Last week, two legends dropped in to share their wisdom with the students. Leon Cooperman and Mario Gabelli joined the education sessions. Great stuff and thank you fellas! Here’s a shot from the bootcamp:

Crypto Rippedo
Don’t look now but crypto is starting to rip again.
The easy rationale here is that we’re seeing inflation hedging as the US Dollar breaks down relative to a basket of currencies. The US Dollar Index is down 6% over the last 3 months and below this 95 support level that has served as a bottom a few times in the recent past.
The more honest rationale, though, is that we have zero freaking clue what’s driving these trading sardines.
Etherium is outperforming Bitcoin, which is kinda cool if you want to get all geeked out about it. Maybe it’s the more robust platform or whatever.
The charts are fascinating here. Rallying back to key levels. Have a look:
