Gold price drop is rather silly. At $4500, central banks are accumulating. The excuses for gold price drop is supposedly oil prices going up and Fed not reducing interest. 1. less oil or more expensive oil would means less gold available or more expensive gold going forward but oil prices don't affect gold already mined. 2. War = expensive oil which gold mining requires , meaning more higher ASIC in future, so gold will cost more 3. War = inflation and unemployment going up hand in hand - ie stagflation, ie QE, ie value of USD dropping regardless of interest rates. 4 institutions are caught pants down and are setting the narratives so that they can rotate in.

While a large executive sale can sometimes trigger a "red flag" for investors, there are several key factors to consider before assuming a negative outlook: 1. Tax Obligations: The SEC filings indicate these sales were largely "automatic transactions" specifically to cover withholding taxes due upon the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs). This is a routine administrative event for many tech executives and often does not reflect a lack of confidence in the company. 2. Broader Insider Activity: Velaga wasn't alone. Other high-ranking officers, including the Chief Legal Officer (Mark Brazeal) and the CFO (Kirsten Spears), also sold shares during this same window for similar tax-related reasons. 3. Market Performance: As of March 18, 2026, Broadcom's stock (AVGO) was trading around $315.

TACO (which he tried but wasn't successful) but Trump crossed the redline of Iran , and effectively sticks the head into and cannot Pull out. Notice the rotation play 24/5 ? Trump is making big money off the war.
Silly reason for a price drop but go ahead. With entire HBM4 sold out for 2026 and it's low Forward P/E below 10, it's a no brainer. There are many China ram manufacturers, no China HBM4 manufacturers

The sharp decline is finally over (for now). Banks will find another justification for price drop again when they take profit off weak hands. New Fed chief was a silly excuse but the market run with it. 50% of US GDP was transferred (not listed) to banks over 3 days. Paper Gold went as low as 4600 but no shops was willing to sell me physical gold for less than 5200. The balloon bursting was expected when the price was pumped to 5600 within 2 days. Classic pump and dump. 5000 is now the minor support. If US holds 5000, we can expect gold to trade sideways at 5200 while gold miners drift upwards .
Go to the Billionstars or any gold shops that sell actual gold or silver bar, and you will find that Gold is still at US$5200. Silver is still out of stock. Gold didn't crashed, what crashed was the value of the paper that says you own gold. Ever go to a shop that advertises a much lower prices but doesn't have stocks , and doesn't let you pre-order at that price? Comex and all the exchanges are pulling a scam on retail investors. Physical Gold should be at $5200 right now and that should be the true gold price. Invest into miners using this price point . Trump will bomb another country in a couple of days/weeks. New Fed chief even if he comes in will have to lower the rate. Buy while you got a chance, else don't say "I should have bought at the dip".

$USA Rare Earth Inc.(USAR)$ Before investing, ask yourself "which of Trump's investments made money for anybody but Trump". This is a company with no revenue but lots of expenses for a few more years at least . US Govt bought in at $17, Trump's insider probably bought much lower. Trump announced and prices shoot to 24-26 .. so now insider take profit ...
