© 2026


Our iBullyBear Mentoring account once again hit a new all-time Net Liq high on strength in SOXL, SNDK, AMUU, LRCX and AVL on Thursday.  If you are not employing a systematic approach to decision-making in the face of uncertainty and you want to improve your skills contact us through the iBullyBear link above.

Trading is a life skill that can be learned like every other life skill, but it does require focus, effort and concentration.  We provide a daily systematic learning approach to trading for traders that are committed to developing trading skill.  No guessing.  Probability thinking.

II like the way Art Turock said it: “There’s a difference between interest and commitment.  When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit.  When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, just results.”

Each person accepts for themselves, excuses or results.   At iBullyBear Mentoring we achieve results!



SPX +80.48, 7,500, opened higher and recovered about 90% of Wednesday late selloff after the Fed left rates unchanged as expected and the SPX fell 90 points into the close.

Breadth strengthened as advancers led on both the NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges.  VIX fell. 

SpaceX, SPCX, closed at $185.00, -3.56%.  Aswath Damodaran, a known value expert, pre-IPO stated that his view was a business valuation of $1.3 trillion, which would be approximately $100/share.  Assuming his estimate is approximately accurate, it means the stock is fully valued at that price.  2025 revenues were $18.7 billion with a total loss of $4.94 billion and a loss from operations of $ 2.59 billion.  Wall St. consensus estimates indicate earnings in 2028.
