Markets Do Not Bottom On Friday’s

Why are you surprised? Tough week and an even tougher Friday. I woke up to my face on fire with this REAL. No idea what the news was and I don’t care. All I know is that any stock -15% is getting sold. I don’t have to see the news to know something is fucked up with this company. I took a 23% loss on it — bad pick.

My overnight trade was SHAK, which I booked for a profit of just 0.45%. Sometimes we get monster trades, sometimes little small ones. The bottom line is, it was a win and that’s better than having gasoline poured all over my face by this REAL shit.

Most of my other stocks are doing good, heavily invested in gold — countering this downtrend with supreme cache.

Lots of trade war jitters now. What is Trump going to say next? What will China do over the weekend. I don’t care.

All I know is that I have 20% in cash and I have 1 job to do today — pick a stock to hold over the weekend and nail it. Maybe it’ll be a long, maybe a short. Who knows? My holding period is 1 day — buy the close, sell the open on these fuckers. The biggest fucking moves happen after 3pm and on the opens, so why bother with intra-day positions and getting tricked when you could take a clear headed position at the close?

      OSTK has basically 0% revenue growth over the last 3 years, and earnigns wnet negative and contnues to fall

      O, so it’s a crypto play?
      OSTK held $3M in crypto currencies in Dec 2018.
      tZero had $4.9M in revenue in 2018q2, which accelrated to a whopping $5.5M in 2019q2 (10%.
      If you look at 6 month comaprisons, that growth was a market domianting 3% ($10M vs $9.7M).

      I do appreciate you brining this stock to my attention though. Now I just ahve to figure out how long it will take the uninformed masses to figure out it’s a joke so that I can short it. I’m tempted today, but I think Wall Street will at least let some suckers get in this on Monday morning (price up) before dropping reailty.

        This didn’t take long.

        Avoiding a bad long play is just as useful as hitting a good short play. Maybe I didn’t profit, but hopefully saved some people from today’s trumping.

        OSTK -13% during a strong rally day
