🐺THE BILL HAS PASSED... Are you BULLISH?

It’s been a pretty wild week.

Actually… scratch that. It’s been a wild few months.

But this week especially, we got one of the best unemployment reports in a while. It wasn’t just good… it was really good. Unemployment didn’t just meet expectations, it crushed them.

Instead of the 4.3% consensus, we printed 4.1%. That’s a big surprise to the downside. And for context… we haven’t seen a number that low in almost half a year.

Just think about where expectations were: people thought unemployment would start ticking up, the recession warnings were getting louder… and yet here we are. The economy keeps proving more resilient than everyone thinks.

As a result, recession odds just dropped to around 20% on Polymarket.

And honestly? We’re probably not getting a recession.

This is how it always plays out: recession gets priced in, markets drop, and then the recession doesn’t show up. Then everyone flips… “oh maybe we’re fine”… and just when they stop fearing it, boom, the market catches you off guard. Happens all the time.

Right now, the CNN Fear & Greed Index is sitting around 77. We haven’t seen levels of greed like this since last October. That was around the time the market was printing new highs almost daily.

So, what’s real? Where do we go from here?

Let’s zoom in.

One thing we’ve been talking about with premium subs… and something that’s kept us bullish… is the golden cross.

That’s when the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day. It just happened again on the S&P 500. And historically? That’s a very bullish signal.

• 1 month post golden cross: +1.3%

• 3 month: +4.0%

• 6 month: +6.7%

• 1 year: +11.2%

That’s the average across 37 occurrences. The win rate over a 1 year horizon? 81.1%.

So four out of five times, the S&P finishes higher a year after the golden cross.

Now you tell me… do you think we’re in the unlucky 1 out of 5? Or do you think this is one of those higher probability setups?

Me? I’m betting on the probability. In fact, staying invested is how we express that bet.

Now… let’s talk about spending.

The newest bill that just passed… and yes, it’s gotten bigger… included a big bump in the military budget. According to recent data, the U.S. military budget for 2025 is approaching $1 trillion. That’s nearly equal to the combined spending of most major countries.

And what does that mean for markets?

It means spending is going to keep going. That means inflation risk remains. And the only way to protect yourself from inflation?

You own assets. $HOOD ( ▼ 3.65% ) has been good. Didn’t mean for that to rhyme. On Prospero.ai short term is still bullish.

That’s why we invest… not just to grow our money, but to protect it. Stocks, Bitcoin, real estate, hard assets… they’re all shields. If you don’t own assets, you’re not protected.
