RANDOM LATE NIGHT SHOTS

I’ve been drinking more whiskey these days. I used to despise the taste, but have now become quite fond of it. I think it has something to do with me getting closer to death and preferring bolder flavors, eschewing the delicate and intricate ones as not enough.

I’ve also been reading a great deal, whenever I get the opportune. Right now I am finishing up Tender is the Night by F. Scott (my favorite author), East of Eden by Steinbeck (an unreal book), and How to Be Rich by Getty. I read about 3-4 books per month, mostly consumed before bed.

I’ve also been cooking a lot, the most in my life. I’m very interested in the process and creating great tasting food. To that end, I’ve also been quasi-obsessed with being a bootleg bartender.

Life is too short to sit around, taking up space, and not compiling skills.

As for the markets, since this is a finance blog, the best position is cash. Futures are higher this evening, but that means very little. The true character of the market will be revealed by 11am.

As an aside, and this makes me look a bit old and dated, but I only recently discovered Spotify and holy shit am I happy that I did. For $15 bucks per month, I have access to every single song every recorded, on demand. How is that stock not higher?

    My 16 year-old daughter lives on Spotify. Surprisingly, she has good taste in music for my old brain cells. She studies to “Calm before the Storm” pre-built list. Impressive flexibility on that platform. It’s easy to just be lazy and let ‘them’ do the work.

    You’re so right. It’s synchronistic. It happens to be something I am struggling with lately; not FUCKING up the good things in life even though other matters are driving me CRAZY.
    You’ve mastered it, I’m working on it.

    La Mer. Playing with stocks is like playing out on the open seas.

    Dude – in total agreement on Spotify. Nothing close. Also check out Joseph Conrad (Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim) unbelievably good and American author Don Delillo. Trade well.
