I have a few minutes to kill on the train from Princeton to NYC.
My positions are net up, thanks to my stocks and of course my shorts against biotech. But I’m being flayed alive in my gold long and semis short. It seems semis will never trade down again. Remember when the sector used to be volatile, subject to cycles? There were times when margins got squeezed by manufacturers. Not anymore. The semis call the shots now. Final bosses. For the life of me, I don’t know where the compatible nature of the sector went. Did they all get together and decide to fix pricing, like a CABAL?
Clearly something is different now.
That being said, tech is super strong today. Biotech deserves to be strung out and beaten because the run up was always suspect.
I’m heavily cash, all long in my quant. Hard to not be bullish.
I’ll hold my semis short for a few hours more and then dump it if the market keeps going up.

Iran admitted to shooting down the Ukrainian plane. Russia has still not admitted to thier forces being at fault for the Malaysian airline . I think this is a huge sign of Iran wanting to play friendly with the West. Also, huge protests in Iran (since many of the dead are college students of Iranain descent) are also a sign of the clerics weaking grip.
This indicates that there probably will be no more reaction from Iran. So the largest unintended consequence of the Solemeni action will a net positive for US-Iran relations in the long run, thanks to the self-inflicted weakening of the regime through the airliner shoot down. This is a net postive for the market, as that’s one less black swan to worry about.
Also, it looks like Wall Street is still not done with Tesla, as oppenheimer just about doubled their price target today.
Sounds like Trump knew what he was doing. Again.
First, “unintended consequence”, although perhaps he predicted that Iran would not react hard, so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Second, “again”? Trump’s international style: F*ck things up, then bring them back slightly worse than they were before he took office and take a victory lap.
Triggered! LOL!
You mean trolled. Triggering is when someone gets overly offended from somethings, usually a negative opinion.
Tesla on it’s way to Musk’s first payment threshold. If it manges to somehow average $550 for 20 out of 30 days, Musk gets paid ~$200M in stock options.
“Sounds like Trump knew what he was doing. Again.”
Haha. Good one.
When does Einhorn cover? Amazing.
Look at a monthly chart of TSLA:
October: +30.7%
November: “only” 4.7% (over 50% annualized)
Decemeber: +26.8%
January (to date): +23.8%
Totally irrational. I have to wonder who is actually buying shares at these prices besides algos and covering shorts.
Analysts climbing over themselves to upgrade. I don’t think anyone expected the China factory to be up and running so quickly. They’ve almost always been behind schedule with their targets.
too much petty logic for reality to ever match partner.
Maybe einhorn is covering! I don’t understand how these guys get to where they are, particularly him
it is
amazing
how many people
even here
don’t have a Bs meter
for a sector moving skeptically or suspiciously by synthetic means or control

TSLA lost a billion on 360k cars sold last year and they are now more valuable than VW who sold 11 million vehicles and earned over 12 billion?
Who the fuck is buying this indeed ?

Oh, showtime getting validated?
That there’s something anomalous to buying logic?
Think I kinda said that 7 years ago
Congrats on the validation?? When you figure out how to not lose money almost every day for seven plus years with your logic, let us know.
Expect more from u moo
yeah the truthteller and realist and critical thinker and authoritative analyst get maligned?
that’s how “backwards” this era…. was ….until
