Market Reverses Like a Motherfucker Off the Lows

This is who I am pal — and you’re nothing.

My last 10 or so trades. Stop harassing me for ideas.

DRIP +11%
SOXS +8%
TZA+6%
HL +7%
PAAS +22%
IAG +20%
DRIP +2%
(TQQQ -3.8%)
SEDG +11.8%
HUBS +9.75%
(TVIX -7.3%)

This is a classic face rip close. Everything melted up. If you didn’t buy the close — you don’t like money and have no business around it. Trust me when I tell you, nothing can go wrong from here. Smooth sailing and Le Fly is the Captain.

Still holdings gold — because that’s what men do. But I’m also long a variety of new shit into the close. I bought 3 overnight trades, some SAAS another AI play. Bottom line: get comfortable with end of day trades, if you hate the intra day bullshit. We reversed off a 589 point decline today and lots of traders got shot in the face for it, yours truly included. I took a 7% loss in TVIX — hoping for a crash. Well guess what — it didn’t fucking work and now I’m long into tomorrow.

Let’s hope Trump steers clear of his fucking phone.

    Today was a kindly market bounce allowing me to add a few more shorts in the last hour: HLT, HTHT, and MA. I’ll light a candle for your longs.

    Sure, looks right now, but by tomorrow morning you might be calling for the apocalypse again.

      24 hours + 1 minute in the trading life of Fly.

      “Solid as fuck close, one worth betting on.”

      “If you’re thinking markets will bounce back sharply because MUH BTFD — good
      luck. This time it’s different ”

      “This is a classic face rip close…If you didn’t buy the close — you don’t like money”

      So now I am supposed to sign up for Exodus and rely on your overnight, into-earnings picks?

    Today’s action was bullish. I think we close that gap. Of course, while the masses/bulls are still in “love the emperor’s robes” mode, interest rates have been telegraphing for months what the smart money thinks.

    I’ve been selling bonds this week, looking for a better entry point, probbaly 2.5%, but maybe we hit 2.7% again. There is only one thing that saves this market: an actual, substantial China deal, one that *doesn’t* preserve the status quo.

      Still waiting for the update on the Christmas NFLX short. That was such high conviction until it wasn’t.

        I lost money. Pretty sure I already mentioend that.

        Problem was, I was smart enough to recognize a vastly overpriced stock, but too arrogant to cut my losses.

        I’ll also note that NFLX is now in a bear market, so I may yet to be proven right (although admittedly not in the bank account). Still waiting (not waiting) to hear your brilliant advice.

        “Salty” enough for you?
