Wu-Tang Market Wisdom

Merry Christmas Eve, Garrett here. And I'm sitting here in my Wu-Tang sweater – yes, those are Wu-Tang clan symbols, not chickens.  

I’m fighting a sinus infection… 

And about to tell you something that'll either offend your sensibilities or make you money. 

Maybe both.

You want proof that we live in a casino?

American Bitcoin. ABTC. 

Founded and owned by Trump Brothers.

There it is. The market laid bare in four letters.

Now before you get all high-minded about "fundamentals" and "proper valuation," let me ask you something: Are you here to feel good about yourself, or are you here to make money?

I've been tracking momentum for months, watching this Santa Claus rally push the S&P to levels that would've seemed impossible back in April. 

We're three points away from 7,100 – a number that had people laughing in the spring.

But here's what nobody wants to admit on Christmas Eve: When they print money, it increases liquidity, reduces bond volatility, and money flows into risk assets. 

It's not complicated. It's not mysterious. And it sure as hell isn't based on traditional metrics.

The money finds its way into markets. Always.

So when you see expansion in liquidity globally – the Fed doing it, Bank of Japan doing it, People's Bank of China gearing up for stimulus – where do you think that money goes? Into things connected to power. Into narratives that matter. Into assets where the fix is obvious.

Cash Rules Everything Around Me

You know what Wu-Tang taught us? "Cash rules everything around me." C.R.E.A.M. 

The market operates on the same principle, just with more standard deviations.

I can sit here and walk you through four-sigma reversions all day – and I will, because the math matters. But first, you need to understand the game you're actually playing.

This isn't your grandfather's value investing. This is liquidity chasing narratives in a system designed to reward proximity to power.

American Bitcoin isn't moving because of technological breakthroughs or adoption metrics. 

It's moving because of the name on the door. And you know what? That's perfectly fine information to trade on.

Here's how I think about it, and I'm gonna be brutally honest because it's Christmas Eve and I'm hopped up on cold medicine: If you're gonna speculate – and we're all speculating to some degree in this environment – speculate on the obvious connections.

When global liquidity expands, money finds three places: Assets already full to the brim like the Mag Seven stocks, debasement plays like silver and gold, and narrative-driven connections to power. 

That third bucket? That's where American Bitcoin lives.

I hate to say it, but it's just how the world works. You can clutch your pearls about it, or you can position accordingly.

Don't get me wrong – I'm not abandoning technical analysis because I'm embracing market cynicism. 

The Wu-Tang sweater doesn't replace the standard deviations. But here's what I've learned: The best trades happen when obvious narratives meet solid technical setups.

ABTC has been setting up these crossovers on the 8-day and 20-day moving averages. 

It wakes up, squeezes, consolidates, then wakes up and squeezes again. Classic pattern. The difference? 

This time it's backed by the most obvious narrative in markets: proximity to presidential power.

This Isn't Hero Money

Now, before you mortgage the house on Trump crypto, remember something I tell people about my four-standard-deviation reversions: This isn't hero money. This is dinner money. Maybe good dinner money if you're right, but still dinner money.

If you own closed-end funds paying 8% dividends, this is where you take that 8% cash flow and try to turn it into 16% or 30%. This is speculation money, not retirement money.

The casino is obvious. The connections are obvious. The liquidity flows are obvious. What's not obvious is proper position sizing.

Look, I'd rather be trading in a market where fundamentals mattered and price discovery was real. 

I'd rather be wearing a cardigan instead of a Wu-Tang sweater while explaining normal distributions. But that's not the market we have.

We have a market where algorithms step in to buy dips, where central banks provide perpetual liquidity support, and where presidential family connections move stock prices. 

You can fight that reality, or you can trade it intelligently with appropriate risk management.

Me? 

I'm gonna finish explaining standard deviations, keep my position sizes small, and remember that cash rules everything around me – even when it's printed out of thin air and flows into the most obvious places.

Merry Christmas, everybody. May your trades be profitable and your narratives be obvious.

The Wu-Tang sweater stays on.

Stay Positive,

Garrett Baldwin
