I Like Nothing Today

There’s not a whole lot going on today. Markets are more or less unch and fuckers are steadying themselves for Trick or Treating this Thursday. I don’t feel like buying anything. Nothing looks interesting. Plus, and it should be noted, leadership stocks have been getting wrung out for the past two months. High sharpes have been splayed across the ground, stomped into mush.

An interesting man would be selling short here — for a trade of course, nothing too serious.

Perhaps my demeanor will change later on today — but these sort of headlines piss me off.

What’s new in my life?

Working out every morning, taking it easy. I was on the verge of nervous collapse in NJ, in spite of having nerves of fucking steel. I’m reading Jurgen, a 1920s comedic smash hit. I’m growing a beard, and pleased with my new confines.

Being mentally strong is just as important as physical, if not more. For years I worn myself out and thin. I thought it would be easier after I quit money management — but that wasn’t true.

I’m also re-starting my 2008 book on the collapse, showcasing my blogs. I have a totally new spin on it and might start writing fast and creatively soon.

    The funniest thing about that headline: SPY is up. Chalk another one up to $0 commissions: guess they didn’t get the memo.

    WAthcing ROKU is liek watching toddles play soccer. I was going to short it, but with earnings next week, might as well wait until we are closer.

        I guess you are long ROKU. I’m also guessing that you were itching to get in on the WeWork IPO when it was first annouced.

        ROKU is overpriced, so I hope it goes up 30% as well. Then I’ll be able to make money with relatively little risk, just like I did last time. If it goes down, then it may actually reach fair value, which leaves less opportunity.

    Trump seems to be gaining traction with China. Maybe China would prefer a deal maker like Trump to an unknown ideologue come Nov 2020. I figured they were going to wait him out but that appears not the case now.

      Deal maker?

      Trump to Iran: “You can keep the funds we aleady released, but we’re not goign to send dinspectors anymore.

      Trump to NK: “We’re going to stop joint exercise with SK, just like you asked. Go ahead and continue with your missile tests.”

      Trump to China: “I know that you are desperate for food, so we’ll sell you some of ours. I know you have plenty of auto manufactures, so keep the tariffs on our manufactures. Forget about protecting American IP. All I want in return is a promise that you won’t gloat about your victory and make me look bad.”

      A deal maker would come out in a better situation than they went in with. Tell me, in regards to China, what concessions do you think they will possibly make? So far, it loosk like we will will go back to pre-Turmp: no tariifs from US, no policy change from China. Is that waht you a consider a “deal”?
