#DayTradingStrategy Day trading is a strategy that involves buying and selling financial instruments at least once on the same day, seeking to profit from small price fluctuations. While recent records of major indices, such as the S&P 500, make it seem easy to generate profits, day trading is not without significant risks, especially because current markets can be quite volatile, as rapid economic changes, fluctuations in interest rates, and geopolitical events cause sudden price swings.

#MuskAmericaParty Musk used his social media platform X to make the official announcement, presenting the 'America Party' as a necessary alternative to the current political system. "When it comes to ruining our country with waste and corruption, we live in a one-party system, not in a democracy," the businessman wrote in his post on Saturday.

The decision to form the party arose from a survey that Musk conducted on X during his public conflict with Trump, where he asked users if a new political party should exist in the United States. The results showed a 2 to 1 support for the idea, which Musk interpreted as a mandate to act.

Historically, the largest deficits were caused by increased spending around national emergencies, such as major wars or the Great Depression.

#SwingTradingStrategy What is swing trading?

Swing trading investors benefit from short-term fluctuations in the price of an investment. They can make profits by buying when the price drops and selling short when it rises.

In other words: swing trading involves studying price and volume trends and understanding the company's value based on its earnings, debt, and overall performance relative to the market.

Vietnam approved a comprehensive digital technology law that legalizes crypto assets and outlines incentives for artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and infrastructure.
