Cutting Through The CNBC Pro Paywall and Cashing In — With the Help of AI

This morning I was skimming my X timeline, and immediately found CNBC pumping gold miners on Nov. 3rd (on Tuesday). BTW they want you to pay for CNBC Pro to read it. Uh, no. 

This gold miner is a cash machine. Why I think the sell-off is an opportunity https://t.co/GcIIbs1h7S

Spoiler: I went directly to AI, and asked which gold miner was being called "a cash machine", and not only did it give me the answer — in like 2 seconds — but it identified the author as the CNBC producer and shameless pump-master himself, Tim Seymour 🤣

This guy has been crying about gold miners for several months — but it takes the cake when you feel like you have to write an article to pump the #2 top holding (AEM) in the $GDX, in order to drive the ETF up 12% in a single day. 

 Am I the only one who sees this charade for what it is, and questions the ethics? 

Nevertheless, I say, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em — for FREE

And here I thought I had to earn money the old fashioned way. Glad that's solved. 

#ProTips:

• Immediately follow CNBC.

• Use AI to peek behind the paywall.

• Load the boat, and wait for the cash machine to pay.

• Better yet, buy the 3X bull ETF and buckle up, buttercup.
  

$GDXU was up a whopping +27% — OOPH — looks like they sure squeezed the short sellers this time! 

Of course, this trade isn't only limited to gold miners. I'll spare you a second bullet on this, but use your imagination. 

And don't forget: What goes up must inevitably come down, and I'm more interested in swing trading gold miners - still trading in a bear market - than chasing a bunch of yahoos, off a cliff. Don't pay CNBC $300 a year for the privilege of reading their pumps — send me the money instead!

Speaking of CNBC: I absolutely roasted them in a tweet yesterday, and its already got 44 likes: 

@Osint613 CNBC actually asked that stupid question? Tariffs didn't come off during Biden, so they sure as hell aren't coming off now. China is the adversary, and anyone else who tries to take advantage. 👺

China is running btw - the Democrats are mostly favorable to the Chinese and since they won, you can bet they are going to make some sweetheart deals - and you may want to brush up on your mandarin . just in case China wins the AI race. Look, they don't protest datacenters over there, unless they want to end up on the "voluntary" organ-donor transplant list.
