Trump's executive order requires credit card interest rates to drop to 10% starting January 20th. Many people praise it for considering the common folk. In reality, this executive order is a typical case of good intentions leading to bad results, showing a lack of financial knowledge. If interest rates are too low to cover bad debts, related financial institutions will reduce lending amounts and scale, which will instead force those in need to borrow at higher interest rates. Payday loans with a daily interest rate of 1% are legal in the U.S.! Market intervention by the government! Showboating
The top 20 best-performing US stock ETFs in 2025 are mostly related to gold, silver, and mining. GDXU (3x leveraged gold mining stocks) leads with a return of 804%. Two 2x leveraged ETFs tracking Micron occupy second and third place, breaking through the gold and silver crowd, with the 20th place having a return of 167%. Do you own any? However, in the long run, the annualized returns of gold and silver ETFs are not high, so entering at the right time is essential.
Tomorrow (January 9th), the Supreme Court will rule on whether Trump's tariffs are illegal, and the financial markets will experience significant volatility.
X Friends Recommend 2026 US Stock Potential List 100+ The previous post received a warm response. Using Grok and Manus, we organized this list for everyone's reference. Some stock prices may differ from the actual prices. The highest price refers to the target price given by market analysts, and the multiple is calculated by comparing the analyst's target price with the current price. I will also create a tool to help everyone track these stocks in real-time, aiming to seize good entry points.
Brothers trading US stocks, please recommend the US stocks you believe have the most potential in 2026. One person, one recommendation. Which do you think has the greatest potential? Requirements: 1. At least a double (2x) opportunity in 2026; 2. Please explain the reason for your recommendation. Once I finish organizing the data, there might (not guaranteed) be a hidden benefit for everyone.
In the past two days, Maduro was arrested, and Huawei has been constantly criticized. Huawei phones are just a joke, but a large amount of Chinese aid weapons and equipment, especially anti-aircraft missiles and radar systems, have probably all fallen into American hands, and the relevant parameters should have leaked long ago. Where the Black Hawk hasn't arrived, the US dollar has definitely arrived first.
Dear tech experts, especially AI technology masters, who can develop a plugin that can instantly identify which posts are written by AI accounts, which are AI account replies, and which X accounts have a high AI content? I am willing to pay. The current information flow is really terrible.
Trump grabbing Maduro is also like squeezing a soft persimmon. Those hard persimmons domestically, like Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar, I don't know if they can't bite or are afraid to bite, or are preparing to bite? After all, it probably takes at least a few months to deal with Maduro. Those external dictators are just a minor skin condition; these internal traitors are the real threat.
Looking at a person, there's no need to care about what they usually claim to be. Freedom, human rights, democracy, anti-dictatorship, or anti-authoritarianism. Just observe their attitude and stance in the face of humanity's most fundamental and simplest sense of justice, and you'll know what kind of person they are. Venezuela is like this, and Taiwan is the same.
Many people do not understand what justice and procedural justice mean. Procedural justice is essentially about protecting the rights of individuals and the weak, because in the face of a powerful state apparatus, without procedural justice, achieving substantive justice is very difficult. And for autocrats like Maduro and similar tyrants, every additional minute they stay in power causes countless people to suffer and be unable to free themselves from hardship. Eliminating and overthrowing them is the greatest procedural and substantive justice for all humanity.
Wake up to a screen full of Maduro. After 13 years of wrongdoing, the dictator who claimed a million-strong army and seemed impregnable was just a prisoner in a little over an hour. His so-called copper wall and iron barrier were probably already infiltrated like a sieve. The Trump administration, criticized for appeasement and isolationism, revealed its sharp teeth, and many people around the world have been deceived. Foreign enemies are probably trembling, but what about domestically?
