Enough About Me — Tell Me About Your Trading Year

This morning I woke up to my coyote snapping her teeth in my face, demanding to be walked. Upon visiting the downstairs foyer, I was entreated to three separate sets of shit upon my teak floors. Like a good pet owning slave, I picked up the shit, washed down the spots on the floors, and then proceeded to walk the beast whilst sleep walking. There’s something both humiliating and soul searching about having pets, sort of like kids, except for the fact that when your kids grow up they almost always resent you, at least for a while, blaming all of their problems on you and where you chose to live.

The S&P is higher by 4% and my gains are significantly higher than that; but what about you — the poor zebra? Pray tell me, what pitfalls did you fall into this year and why are you still leaving in a housing tenement?

I really can help and I really am a Dr., god damn it.

If you don’t want to tell me, it’s quite all right; I have lots of other things to do.

    I hesitated on HUYA even though my son plays fortnite and watches utube videos about it incessantly….great heads up there, that one hurts. I made the mistake of asking someone their opinion and there was some valuation nonsense they didn’t like. Something about 13 times revs.

    I’m up 14% YTD. Was up almost 90% last year so I am not complaining. The 14% feels almost like a down year because last year was so good. I’ve been carry a yuge portion of TQQQ since then day before the election. That’s been responsible for most of my gains.

    You really could care less about my returns, but why is that coyote not crated?

    I only put a small percentage of my net worth into NVDA instead of the whole thing.

    Crating is not in humane. The beasts actually feel secure in the crate.

    Give that coyote over here, I’ll train it not to shit on your expensive floor boards.

    Trading account (mostly futures and options) up big this year ~ 50% but that can vanish in two weeks the way I trade it. The normal equity account up around 10%.

    My kid threw up on me yesterday when we were leaving a graduation party. I took it with a smile while waving bye to folks.

    And dogs…

    I have hardwood floor throughout my house. My dog will go out of her way to get on one of the rugs to shit or vomit. Good times.

    I have no idea what % I am up for the year:
    Micron was likely the best rush and 3x has been good to me TNA, ERX, FAS, TMV
