This is a YouTube short titled "Market Secrets: Day of Week & IPO Investing Explained #shorts" (posted 2026-06-09). It is a single-speaker finance commentary explaining the day-of-week effect on S&P returns (noting Thursdays are relatively weak), using futures and a 21-trading-day window to assess short-term probabilities, and warning against leverage and speculative bets. The speaker also discusses SpaceX IPO speculation, the lack of data in private markets, and advises that such positions are more akin to gambling than typical pension-style investing. The clip appears to be a short client-oriented preview of analysis that will be released more broadly to clients.

What would I expect? Those are the months, those are the returns. Day of the week effect. What day are we? Thursday tends to be one of the weakest days of the week. It's only up 53% of the time. So you ask me, why did the market fall today? Because 47% of the time the S&P falls on a Thursday. S&P's not even open yet. Let's say based on the futures contracts, it's gonna fall. Okay. So we can even look at that over a 21-trading-day window. And I can say to myself, hell, this is a good time to buy into June because over the next 23 days, 21 days rather, and still have a pretty high probability of a gain. But you'd want to do that if you were And if you are leveraged, because the gains are relatively small. Leverage and trading are two of the least wise things you can do. We could look at all of these, by the way. This is going to be released only for clients in due course. I just wanted to show you a bit of that at the moment. So there, I've answered your question. Why did it move? We're not even entirely sure at the moment why it moved. Would you buy the SpaceX into the SpaceX IPO? Would pre-market in the private market or the secondary market on those, but those are not my normal pension investments. Normal pension investments like Warren Buffett. Profit. I do pretty much the same thing. I need my data. SpaceX doesn't give me data because it's not IPO'd yet. So would I do it as a gamble? No. If I wanted to gamble, I'd go to Vegas. Okay. So if you want to do it, go ahead and do it. But what you are really asking me is, can you see into the future with a time machine? And do you want to take the other side of a bet of a very shrewd individual who's going to price this to perfection?
