2023 Will Be a Great Year…For Me

Over at Stocklabs, I have lots of pro tools in the wings and plans to generally upgrade the system to enable users to play with themselves with unending joy and happiness. Truth be told, the greatest upgrade to Stocklabs, however, will always be me. Over the past year, I’ve managed returns of +62%, mostly through betting against markets. The difficulty some members had following me was due to my former frantic pace of trading, which has been GREATLY cleaved, as I now wholly depend on weekly quant picks from Stocklabs, supplemented with my timely hedges or leveraged longs. I have not felt this confident in a stratagem in quite some time and can tell you now, without equivocation, 2023 is going to be a grande year of SeƱor Tropicana. BRACE YOURSELVES for extreme winship and gains of a ribald nature.

Since it’s the holidays and we like to keep it fucking light here at iBankcoin — I’ll update you on my recent obsessions. For those who follow me a long time, you may or may not be aware of the fact that I tend to hyper fixate on things and really learn the subject until I get “bored” or move onto the next thing. Presently, I am fixated on Pinot Noir wines, shetland wool sweaters, and amusingly Hemingway again. I’ve also been reading Dorothy Parker and have Sherwood Anderson on deck.

I’ve come to realize, as I age, I am different from others and my fixations are not shared by others. I have an extensive book collection and have been building a formidable wine collection as well. For Xmas, I received a humidor. I am not a big cigar smoker, but do enjoy pipe tobacco on occasion. I have come to learn, through the humidor community, improper humidity levels can in fact produce TOBACCO BEETLES, which is hilarious and also horrifying. I expect to be wholly consumed and obsessed with cigars by spring.

Markets should perform well for the balance of 2022, at least I’d like to thing so after 3 glasses of Santa Barbara Pinot.

    FWIW, it’s not the humidity that causes cigar larvae to hatch, it’s excess humidity. Most cuban cigars have the larvae but they only hatch if not properly stored (i.e., excess humidity). If you decide to become a cigar aficianado, go with Cubans.

      Oops, it’s not the temperature, it’s the humidity that causes larvae to hatch into beetles…

      We need an “edit button”

    The first book of Islands in the Stream – “Bimini” is a gem. It was when he was most at peace, before he drank too much and was not yet thinking of having a shotgun shell for breakfast. The second book Cuba is cynical and the third is when Hemingway mostly just hated the women in his life.
