I did something like this earlier this year. Please. For the love of god. Go pay your taxes on this NOW. Like, find a calculator, set that money aside, do not touch it until tax season 2026. After that, leave yourself like 5 grand in your trading account. Take the rest. Go have a nice steak. Buy yourself some sneakers or whatever clothing you fancy. The rest of it, catch up on bills, kill some debt, go on a trip. But spend it slowly. You are not now a master trader, and you can easily blow it just as fast as you made it. I am speaking from experience here, the rush you got from closing that trade can and will be exceeded by the despair that comes from watching it run away again. If you do trade with the pile, trade SMALL. Trade the same numbers you would normally trade, same contracts. Again, yes, the temptation to do big numbers quickly will be there but fight it. The last thing you want to do is end up seeing wild swings in your brokerage, it will desensitize you to the money and make you vulnerable to putting too much in one trade.

China probably needs to use the rare earth itself for all the missile hardware it's selling to Iran. This will also limit the number of munitions and defensive missiles the US can provide to Middle East. Maybe this stops upcoming war on Iran before it even starts. The twist is that Trump asked China to do this because he doesn't want a big Iran war either.
