Buffett’s not “investing” – he’s dodging the entire market with a $314B stack of T-bills.
This isn’t caution. It’s a strategic middle finger to overpriced stocks and meme hype.

Here’s what the smartest guy in the room might know… that you don’t.

Moody’s just became the third and final major agency to downgrade U.S. credit – a historic first. But while Wall Street shrugs, the real threats are still brewing: ballooning debt, fiscal dysfunction, rising tariffs, and a slow-motion retreat from the dollar. This AntiVestor deep dive unpacks what the downgrade really signals, why the bond market hasn’t broken (yet), and how traders should navigate the illusion of calm.

Most income traders still follow the “safe” approach: 30-delta spreads, 45-day expiry

One new student was shocked when I showed him my ATM same-day premium strategy

He realised he was risking dollars to make dimes – and one trade could wipe out months of work

My system flipped everything: faster income, more control, less time risk

He joined my top mentorship on the spot. Here’s why.

Wolfe Waves are 5-leg reversal patterns found in all markets and timeframes.

They provide a built-in price target line and an estimated time of arrival.

Bullish Wolfe = falling wedge. Bearish Wolfe = rising wedge.

Key rule: Wave 5 must overshoot the trendline from waves 1 to 3.

Look for symmetry, proportional waves, and a clean reversal at point 5.

Most traders mess this up by forcing the pattern or ignoring the setup rules.

Use Wolfe Waves for timed entries, precise targets, and swing reversal setups.

TLDR: 2025’s Market Reversal Is No Ordinary Pullback

S&P 500 is down roughly -10% YTD (April 17)

All 11 sectors posted negative or flat returns, except staples and utilities

MAG7? Down bad: Tesla -35%, Apple -15%, Nvidia -15%, Microsoft -11%

In 2024, same time? SPX was +10%, 10 of 11 sectors were green

2025’s Trump 2.0 regime is spooking markets: tariffs, trade war, inflation fears

This April is eerily opposite to his first term: 2017 saw a quiet +5% climb

Seasonality suggests more chop ahead: May-August is usually weak

Defensive sectors are leading… historically a warning sign, not a buying signal

All signs point to short-term bear swings with selective bounces

Trump may intentionally crash the stock market to trigger lower interest rates.

A market drop forces the Fed’s hand – cutting rates to stabilise the economy.
Lower rates allow Trump to refinance U.S. debt and ease inflation.
Tariffs + recession = pressure for companies to move manufacturing back to the U.S.
A crash could hurt the wealthy (who own most stocks) while lowering everyday costs for voters.
Confusion, chaos, and volatility actually strengthen Trump’s campaign position.

For traders using pulse bar setups and credit spreads – volatility = income.
