Monday Market Open

It’s mid-December, the sun clocks out early, your PnL looks colder than your driveway, and suddenly everyone’s a long-term investor again. Winter has a way of humbling people. So does the market.

This is Khabib-in-the-mountains energy. Snow, ice, no comfort, no excuses. You don’t train in the cold because it’s inspirational, you do it because it makes you harder to break. Same deal here. This part of the year strips away the tourists, the overlevered, and the “just one more trade” crowd.

If you can stay disciplined now, when the tape is choppy and the vibes are awful, you’re already ahead. Winter doesn’t last forever. It just decides who’s still standing when the thaw hits.

RED MOUNTAIN MINING: PLATEAU YOUR PORT

Red Mountain Mining (RMXFF) is not an AI story. It’s not a crypto fairy tale.
It’s a geopolitics-meets-hard-assets setup.

RMXFF has 3 US Antimony Assets including the Yellow Pine Project sitting right next to Perpetua project (PPTA).That’s a big deal, because PPTA’s market cap just reached 3 billion dollars.

Antimony matters. Defense matters. Supply chains matter.
And the U.S. is done pretending China won’t weaponize dominance in critical minerals.

Why RMXFF stays on the radar:

• U.S. + Australia assets, focused on antimony—an actual bottleneck metal.

• Utah positioning near known districts, still trading at “nobody’s watching” prices.

• Headline-grade assays (up to ~60%) that force re-ratings when capital rotates into the theme.

  This is not a widows-and-orphans stock.
  It’s a scale-in, volatility-expected, asymmetric bet tied to policy and paranoia. Know what you own. Size it like an adult.

  

Market Indices
ATH ATTEMPT FAILED

The market walked up to all-time highs, knocked once, and got told to beat it.

High beta got smoked again. Not because the bull is dead—but because this is no longer the “close your eyes and buy garbage” phase. The market has officially entered its discipline era.

Old heroes? Losing their grip. NVDA, IREN, OKLO—former kings of the dopamine trade—aren’t carrying the index anymore. Leadership has rotated, and if you didn’t rotate with it, that’s on you.

Right now, the baton sits with TSLA and GOOGL. Real cash flow. Real narratives. Real tailwinds. This is a market that rewards selection and punishes nostalgia. Trade like it’s still spring and you’ll keep donating liquidity.

Macro Analysis
MACRO FOR THE MACRO TARDS

Despite the ugly tape, the structure remains intact. The bull market checklist is still a clean 8-for-8, with the S&P holding 6,827 above the Feb ’25 breakout at 6,144, the 200-day trend rising for 156 straight days, and momentum sitting in a healthy zone (RSI ~53, not overheated, not broken).

Breadth has not collapsed, the advance–decline line continues higher, risk appetite remains positive, and nearly 90% of global markets are still above their 50-day averages.

This is not distribution—it’s rotation inside a confirmed bull regime. The confusion comes from expecting comfort in a market that’s designed to test discipline.

DOMO ARIGATO, MR. ROBOTO

IRBT filing Chapter 11 is fundamentally bad news, but bankruptcy names don’t trade on fundamentals in the short term—they trade on short interest, thin liquidity, and bad positioning.

Into year-end, that combination has a long history of producing irrational upside, even when the endgame is still zero. That’s the entire appeal.

If there’s a play here, it’s lotto size only, no conviction, no heroics. Watch behavior near the $0.80–$0.90 zone and respect that halts, delisting risk, and violent reversals are part of the package. Enjoy you filthy animals.
