Elon Musk is High Key Crazy; Susan Wojcicki is Low Key Insane

Elon Musk is at it again, promoting ‘short shorts’ in his idiotic Tesla merch store, which is really a play on words on how he intends to destroy short sellers.

We’ve all come to admire and love Musk’s craziness — because of its high key nature. However, and let this be a reminder to you, the quiet one’s are the danger.

Enter Susan Wojcicki, sister in law of Sergey Brin — beneficiary of nepotism and CEO of Youtube.

Not only has she taken an open platform like Youtube and used it for political ends, banning people she doesn’t like, employing ‘fact checkers’ to infiltrate the comments section of videos she believes needs checking, as well as the removal of thought exercise videos aka “conspiracy theories”, which is the basis for critical thinking — now she’s permitting people to be pilfered by traffic spamming retards.

Here’s a snippet.

Martin Vassilev makes a good living selling fake views on YouTube videos. Working from home in Ottawa, he has sold about 15 million views so far this year, putting him on track to bring in more than $200,000, records show.

Mr. Vassilev, 32, does not provide the views himself. His website, 500Views.com, connects customers with services that offer views, likes and dislikes generated by computers, not humans. When a supplier cannot fulfill an order, Mr. Vassilev — like a modern switchboard operator — quickly connects with another.

“I can deliver an unlimited amount of views to a video,” Mr. Vassilev said in an interview. “They’ve tried to stop it for so many years, but they can’t stop it. There’s always a way around.”

After Google, more people search on YouTube than on any other site. It is the most popular platform among teenagers, according to a 2018 study by the Pew Research Center, beating out giants like Facebook and Instagram. With billions of views a day, the video site helps spur global cultural sensations, spawn careers, sell brands and promote political agendas.

Just as other social media companies have been plagued by impostor accounts and artificial influence campaigns, YouTube has struggled with fake views for years.

The fake-view ecosystem of which Mr. Vassilev is a part can undermine YouTube’s credibility by manipulating the digital currency that signals value to users. While YouTube says fake views represent just a tiny fraction of the total, they still have a significant effect by misleading consumers and advertisers. Drawing on dozens of interviews, sales records, and trial purchases of fraudulent views, The New York Times examined how the marketplace worked and tested YouTube’s ability to detect manipulation.

Inflating views violates YouTube’s terms of service. But Google searches for buying views turn up hundreds of sites offering “fast” and “easy” ways to increase a video’s count by 500, 5,000 or even five million. The sites, offering views for just pennies each, also appear in Google search ads.

Reminder: upwards of 85% of Google’s revenues come from ads, of which 10% is from Youtube.

In other words, MASSIVE FRAUD is taking place out in the open and no one seems to give a shit. The views are fake. The ad dollars are real, based on fake traffic. People are being ripped off.

Wow @TeamYouTube just shut down our @theh3podcast live stream and gave us a strike for talking about Alex Jones??… What.

Our ability to Livestream @theh3podcast has been revoked so we'll have to continue filming it offline and upload it later. Nice one @TeamYouTube

We were able to continue offline and follow the updates from YouTube as to why our stream was shut down. Weird & wild stuff.

But our channel was reinstated & we can stream again next week?

Hi Ethan – Our team looked into this and determined the live stream was taken down incorrectly. The strike has been removed. Our apologies and thank you for your patience!

Markets are down and weak — because we’re in the process of destroying Turkey. That’s what empires do, especially great big ones, they conduct warfare — sometimes kinetic, other times economic. Now with Turkey on the ropes, Italy, Spain, and Russia are next. Once Italy and Spain get run down — the entirety of the European Union shall collapse, like a giant lawn chair and whoever was left in said chair will get folded with it — spine broken and the whole 9 years.

As for me, I don’t consider my stocks to be ‘part and parcel’ of any market. They transcend normal circumstances and are quite immune to the pangs of misery — possessing an effervescent dome of protection that is both hard and impressive.

For the day, my active account is up — partly thanks to SONOS. When it first came public last week or so, I played it from $17.8 to $21.5, like an extreme champion. I announced in Exodus today that I endeavored to repeat such a nice memory and thus far — my wishes have moved towards that destiny.

A prudent man might raise cash, or even hedge, into what might be a long and dreary weekend of emerging markets. But “The Fly” doesn’t give a shit about all that — for he cannot be stopped. All of the gains are mine — you are merely borrowing some.

Top picks into the blades of an obstreperous tape: SONO,HUBS, ZEN, TEAM, YEXT, SPOT, and NTNX

Everything in Exodus is visual — tailor made for this new world of ADD afflicted millennials. I send out emails to members of Exodus on a weekly basis showcasing features in great detail. Since it’s a Friday and I’m feeling good about my positions, I’ll show you the Hybrid oscillator for sectors and how one might use it to gauge markets and trade off it.

This oscillator is our predictive element and it is available in all industries and sectors. Here you can clearly see that the Tech sector was very distressed on 4/2. I’d argue that if many of you saw this, it might’ve coerced you into a full long positions, no?

The data for the Qs corroborates what I just showed you in the oscillator.

And it went straight up after that — paying for everyone’s membership for the next 2-3 years.

Any questions?

“The Fly” doesn’t give a shit about Turkish Lira contagion or lower equity markets. For the most part, I speak to you an unscathed man — a hardened soldier who has figured out a way to avoid hand grenades by hiding, mind you, inside of mines filled with dynamite sticks.

Literally nothing can happen to me. I am safe in HUBS, YEXT, ZEN, TEAM, NTNX, NEWR, SPOT and more.

Being that the world is upset over Turkey, I felt it was my duty to buy back SONO; because it’s times like this that people need to unwind and enjoy some music. If you’re in Turkey and watching your life savings dwindle down the Lira drain, head out to your local Best Buy and buy a few Sonos speakers. I promise you’ll be able to redeem a fair price for them when you need to sell them for food. People always like Sonos speakers. Whoever does not like them — please step forward.

The moral of this story is ageless, as it is wise: “The Fly” wins all the time and often. Come join us inside Exodus (only email required for trial) and witness the grandeur first hand.

This has become a big deal, seemingly overnight. Let’s not over analyze it or delve into hyperbole and simply observe facts. The Turkish Lira is cratering and crashing in Wagnerian Opera fashion, off by 13% for the day on news that Erdogan is telling citizens to sell dollars and take the gold from under their mattresses and buy Lira. The fuck.

“Change the euros, the dollars and the gold that you are keeping beneath your pillows into lira at our banks. This is a domestic and national struggle,” Erdogan said, according to an Associated Press translation.

The result is the Turkish stock market crashing by 4.5% and sharply lower European markets — with Italy leading the fray down by 2.3%. It’s worth noting, Russian markets are down 2.6%

Over in the bond market, we are seeing an interesting development where Italian and Spanish bond yields are diverging from German and Swiss. This typically occurs during periods of financial distress, as investors parse thru the crap of Europe and gravitate towards the financially sounds. Although the Lira is crashing, it’s worth noting there isn’t a crash occurring in Turkish bonds today.

Dow futures are -150, Nasdaq -55. Bitcoin is higher by 3%. I’m expecting safe haven to occur in TLT, which is traditionally a splendid place to park dollars during August.

And here’s a digital dump of some analysts discussing this new and exciting crisis.

And here is our President, incredulously dropping salt on the wounds of Turkey, tweeting that he’s increasing tariffs on them and highlighting the run on the Lira — which is hurting millions of Turkish citizens. NOT NICE! Sad.

I have just authorized a doubling of Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum with respect to Turkey as their currency, the Turkish Lira, slides rapidly downward against our very strong Dollar! Aluminum will now be 20% and Steel 50%. Our relations with Turkey are not good at this time!

My best guess — keep your eyes on the USD-TRY cross for $7. If it breaks $7 in a fast way, you could start to see capital markets respond very negatively very quickly, as Turkish banks scramble to raise capital requirements.

Every stockbroker in America, aka ‘financial advisors’ or ‘planners’, use this metric to shill their schemes. They act as if a high net worth individual cannot access this data without their help.

Here’s a simple enough screen. Stocks with Sharpe ratios above 2 vs below 2. The above 2 produced a YTD return of +55%, while under 2 did absolutely nothing. This is the present day hedge fund hotel. If your argument is ‘well high Sharpe’s are high because their stocks are up — that’s not a valid excuse. Sharpe’s don’t move that fast. High Sharpe’s crush low Sharpe’s across various time frames — because that’s where money flow is going.

Chicken vs egg paradox.

Same screen in Exodus over a 1 week timeframe produced a gain of +2.2 for Sharpe’s over 2 vs a gain of only 0.2% for under 2.

You’ve been courrected and educated.

As you were.

My resources in my active account are limited, thanks to my 75% allocation into a quant model. Nevertheless, I am able to have lots of fun, swashbuckling and muckraking thru capital markets like a true pirate.

I bought several new stocks today, my favorite being YEXT. However, there are numerous breakouts taking place in tech. In my opinion, if you’re looking at other sectors, you’re plainly wasting your time.

Here is my favorite momentum screen in Exodus. Note that ROKU and SAIL was on it yesterday, before today’s giant lift.

DWCH looks really good.

Of my holdings, the following are my top picks right now: HUBS, NEWR, NTNX, YEXT, TEAM, and ZEN.

It’s over for their civilization. I wonder what they did to deserve this?

The Turkish Lira is down 5% intra-day.

“The Turkish delegation went to Washington, and there seem to be no compromises on offer at the moment, and confidence in the currency remains weak,” said Kit Juckes, the global head of FX strategy at Societe Generale.

The Trump administration earlier this month announced sanctions against Turkey for failing to release Andrew Brunson, an evangelical pastor who has been detained for nearly two years.

Fuck NATO. Oh boy.

I’ve been waiting for this moment my entire life — the Space Force branch of the military — because conquering planet earth simply isn’t enough. Many generations from now, the world will harken back to this period when the military apparatus of the US started a unit for outer space, designed to attack other planets. All of the movies we’ve seen about evil alien races laying waste of Earth was actually a foreshadowing of what we’re going to do to other planets.

We are an evil people, a dark, insidious, force to be reckoned with. You know for damned sure, if there was a gigantic surplus of oil on some shit-panned planet out there — our fucking ‘space force’ would annihilate the people on it — dubbing them as ‘space terrorists’ and then take it all.

Here’s a text of Trump discussing this new bold initiative.

“My administration is reclaiming America’s heritage as the world’s greatest space-faring nation,” Trump said in the East Room, joined by members of his space council. “The essence of the American character is to explore new horizons and to tame new frontiers.”

Trump had previously suggested the possibility of creating a space unit that would include portions equivalent to parts of the air force, army and navy. But his directive will task the Defence Department to begin the process of establishing the “space force” as the sixth branch of the U.S. armed forces.

“When it comes to defending America, it is not enough to merely have an American presence in space. We must have American dominance in space,” Trump said. He added: “We are going to have the Air Force and we are going to have the space force, separate but equal.”

Turning to seek out Dunford, Trump said, “General Dunford, if you would carry that assignment out, I would be very greatly honoured also … Where’s General Dunford? General? Got it?”

Dunford appeared to acknowledge the order, responding, “we got it.” But the directive seemed to take defence officials by surprise. Creating a new joint military command is largely the purview of Congress, which would have to provide the authority and any funding or shifting of money to a new unit.

This is exactly what I voted for — a space force that could invade the moon and bring back cheap healthcare expenses and a wall to keep out lawnmowers.

In other news, which space stocks do you like for this endeavor? LMT, RTN, AJDA, VSAT, LORL, ATRO?

If you want the short version of how Fly is doing these days, look no further than my triple sized HUBS position and doubled sized TEAM and ZEN holdings. I don’t think I’ve done something this bold in quite some time. I am literally invincible, unable to lose money if I wanted to.

Going along with that nice thought process, I spent the balance of whatever cash was held in escrow — buying NTNX. Super powerful growth rate and open air running look to the stock. I dare any of you to sell it down short. It will only serve to be your very own gravedigger.
