The Rumor Mill That's Actually Moving Stocks – The Stealth Bull Market Nobody Is Talking About

I think it should be illegal to report rumors just to pump sectors. I also don't see that changing anytime soon.

I think it should be illegal to report fake news — but then what would we all watch for entertainment? 🤣

Yesterday — Dell: A false rumor kicked off at "Semi Accurate (that's the name of the mf website [link]!)" — courtesy of a writer whose own X profile brags about being a "Roving engine of Chaos and snide remarks." Didn't stop CNBC or Bloomberg from running with it. The "rumor" disclosure? That came after Dell had already traded to new all-time highs. Classic.





Today — United Airlines: CEO Scott Kirby reportedly pitched a merger with American Airlines in a meeting with President Trump. Of course it's not happening — for about a dozen obvious reasons — but it was enough to spike the stock 9% in premarket. 🤣




Two Stealth Bull Market Rallies Being Mostly Ignored

1. Transports — Traded to new all-time highs yesterday, up another +2.5%, juiced in part by that United/American merger whisper. Seeing a pattern here?

2. $SOX
Semiconductors — Chips continue breaking out to new all-time highs, up another 1% in pre-market last I checked.

Chart says: Possible whipsaw back to the top of a broadening triangle — guessing wave (D)? I'm standing down... 



S&P — Rallied to new highs after reclaiming the exact support level I flagged Friday night [link → blog → tweet]. Snapped back, and the rest was history.

Bank earnings? Another distraction — just like the endless Iran/oil theater (crude lower again). Smoke and mirrors from the lamestream media.

P.S. $TPOR (3X Transportation Bull ETF) isn't tracking $TRAN. Only up 1.5% yesterday. Check the components.

P.P.S. The elephant in the room is monthly OPEX. If you're smart, you're already hedged.

The rumor mill is working overtime. Bullish desperation hiding in plain sight — and somehow, it's working. Everything else is just noise to keep you chasing headlines instead of the tape that actually pays.
