Smoked in Dope — Markets Cheer on For Others, But Not For Me — God Damn It

What a bad trade. I had purchased TLRY the other day at $112 and it went to $140 the very same day. I didn’t sit there — I presided. Me and my big long face, presiding — gazing down on everyone, smugly, and chiefly. I walked with purpose and punched those in the mouth that had it coming. I was part of a drug cartel, an investor mind you, and I was seeking to destroy others who bet against me.

Yesterday earnings came out and they sold a lot of kilos, but it wasn’t enough. I just sold the stock for a 9.5% loss. Now I’m downtrodden and reminiscent of the days when I knew it all, the man with the long face kicking dirt at everyone else.

Markets are up, but they’re weak. I’m ~45% cash and feel like I need more. I feel like my stocks aren’t enough and that I either need to change them or add more. This is the type of thinking that gets people in trouble. The constant desire to do something is flawed thinking. Sometimes it is what it is — a bad day. Sometimes you should just eat a sandwich.

The good news my quant portfolio is +70bps.That’s where I keep most of my money. The bad news, I own DOCU, LABU, TMF, OKTA, and MOS — which are all down. My only saving grace, god damn it, is SOXL and even that is being a poor sport. This might be one of those days when everyone else is jumping rope in the sun, dressed clean and well, while I’m on the fence with my ripped jeans and mud stained shirt hating on everyone else for being beautiful and happy.

Long faced man signing out for now.

            Technical Analysis will always be relevant, simply becuase it creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. If enough people beleive in it – and more importantly, if enough algorithms built on back-tested data trade using it – then trades will be made based upon price levels, etc.

            Now, I don’t know about head-and-shoulders, etc, but triangles and horizontal resitance/support levels play out as predicted every minute of every tradign day with a much higher success rate than can be attributed to pure probability

    Stay on the short-side and have some conviction. You recognized that we are in a new environment, but still try to catch every 1 or 2-day counter-rally on the long side. It will never work consistently–the winning trade is betting on more downside over the intermediate-term.
