Crawling King Snake

More than ever I need to tune out the media. Furthermore, I need foster the ability to listen to other people’s investing/trading opinions without jumping at the impulses they trigger. You’ll have to excuse my defense mechanism which is to aggressively challenge you. This mostly happens on Twitter and Stocktwits. If you come here, to my parcel of tier-one internet real estate, and leave a message—I will be rather cordial. But out on the streets I can be punchy.

I had a serious stat session yesterday morning. I woke up to organ pain. Organ pain is a fun thing that happens when you turn 30 and have about 10 years of binge drinking under your belt. Who needs an alarm clock when high blood pressure is blasting muddy fluid through your veins and arteries? Anyhow, I ran through 8 years of NYSE tick data, clean data from my homies at IQFEEd, and have made some interesting observations around the 3rd sigma tick. It will require testing, but my initial plan is to call these extreme ticks “party poopers”.

I name things. I name statistical anomalies because then they are mine. I have a skittish rescue dog. She is sweet, but always scanning the room for escape routes.  I named her Momo, like those bastard stocks.

Then there’s my baby, Rose Colored Sunglasses (RCS) which nailed the correction. You guys sleep on your boy, so most of you paid no attention when I cried wolf. Perfect, I say. I do not analyze and blog in pursuit of applause or cackling tongues. I do it because I intend to be the best.
