Spectacular Trading Spills into 2021

Reminder: markets haven’t been this good to the upside since the dot com era. The idea we could constantly bag 10-100% intra day gains in a sundry of stocks would be a foreign concept prior to late 2018. We have gone parabolic to the upside and I do believe much of it is being fueled by zero commissions, which has permitted retail to regain its power in markets. Prior to this grande time, markets were dominated by HFTs and money managers who chased performance. Ideas took time and day trading wasn’t appealing on most occasions, particularly during the low volatile era of 40 Dow points per day that plagued these halls with smug blogs for many many years.

I celebrate this reinvigoration into high stakes, high end, gambling and welcome all to partake.

Please for the sake of your pigeon brained sized minds, place politics aside and forget it ever happened. Look at all of the fucking fun to be had here. I closed out the week +9%.

No booze for me this weekend, as I am back dry till St Paddy’s day. Excessive quantities of coffee, I find, suit me better.

    I was one of the first, to call Russia-election-interference propaganda
    mid December 2016
    after an Obama speech I said psyop
    (4 weeks earlier, hearing Russia in
    hourly headlines, I knew, intel agency
    Mockingbird-Like level, was waiting
    for general further corroboration)
    by March, more indep. media were broadly labelling boogeyman psyop
    on James Comey’s dismissal in May, more adoption it was forced narrative

    Congrats to all those who are tearing it up in the markets! This is pedal to the metal time.

    PS 1 small political note: With “leadership” like this, do you think things will end well?

    Signal has end to end encryption. Hard to mediate. Everyone now free to go to their corner and jerk off with the like-minded. So how does censorship heal us? …it doesn’t.

    Are they stupid? Or do they want division and disruption?

    Inflation is here. 2×4 and sheet of plywood at Home Depot are up double from about two months ago. My Cheerios box is down a few ounces but is same price. The deflationary vortex has collapsed. Velocity of money increasing. All that PPP money is going to work.

      Where is the question? This is nothing… The onion gets peeled and everyone starts crying and wondering why, when they tried to believe it was just an orange

    LOL Dr Fly said: “We have gone parabolic to the upside and I do believe much of it is being fueled by zero commissions” pair that w/ generous cash dole outs and we have a massive ponzi scheme.
    Was this intentional? I don’t care. I’ll happily ride it ? as long as it lasts.
    BTW we just got another cash boost to the scheme, and another massive future boost promised.
    My income doubled last year…and I started late! Now I’m up 634bps 1st week of 2021.
    I’ll keep dancing as long as the music plays……
