THE TRUTH ENGINE FEB 13th 2026
Inflation just printed cooler than expected and the market is celebrating selectively. CPI came in at 2.4% year-over-year versus the 2.5% Wall Street expected — and that lit a fuse under gold, precious metals, and anything tied to rate-cut hopes. Newmont Mining ripped 7% on monster institutional call buying. Coinbase exploded 17% after posting all-time highs in trading volume and subscriptions. But don't let the green fool you — the S&P is flat, the Nasdaq is actually down over 1%, and we're heading into a 3-day weekend with the VIX still hovering near 20. Meanwhile, Trump is making headlines on Iran negotiations, Greenland talks, and the Truth Social crypto ETF filings that just hit the SEC. The smart money isn't chasing — it's rotating into gold, defense, and utilities while tech takes a breather. This is a stock-picker's market, not a buy-everything market. https://dcgelite.io/s/
