Let’s review for the sake of posterity. It’s important that we learn from mistakes and educate ourselves about how the market really works.
Facts:
SAAS or software stocks are the best stocks in the market — thanks to growth.
SAAS stocks are favored in both private and public markets because of predictability in their business models.
We are in the early stages of enterprise moving IT budgets away and into the hands of specialists in the SAAS industry.
The SAAS sector is the most overvalued in the market, due to the above reasons, and are subject to sharp downturns.
None of those points can be debated. If you hate SAAS and love oil, simply put, you are an idiot.
When SAAS stocks go rocked in October, I TOLD YOOOOO the sector was most oversold since 2014. The oscillator inside Exodus demonstrated this plainly.
Here are two of maybe a dozen articles with me ranting about this.
SAAS STOCKS NOW OVERSOLD MOST SEVERELY SINCE 2014
How Oversold Are SAAS Stocks Now?

So how did Lord Fly capitalize on this occurrence? Not much. I have restrictions in place that keep me either in a Quantitative model or very short term trading fool. Both models are great for long term growth, but I’m missing the best ideas approach to investing, a style that I often practiced when I managed money professionally. So, starting 2020, Le Fly will open up a “Best Ideas” portfolio again and populate it with my best ideas. I will still trade and do the quant, but there is a space missing in my investment experience here, as I miss out on ideas and strategies that I know work — but cannot execute upon them because of self imposed rules.
Well, fuck that and fuck you Dr. Fly for keeping the shackles on me. The roaring 20s are just around the corner and I intend to get my share.

Exodus was signaling “Buy” on Sep 24, but it wasn’t until several weeks later that SAAS bottomed. In fact, a month later and you were saying that SAAS is still not a buy:
“Is It Safe to Buy $SAAS Yet? The short answer is No!”

The problem is as you stated: when a stock crashes:
“1. This time is different and down we go.
2. This time isn’t different. Buy the dips.”
I might add:
1) Buy low, sell high
2) Let your winners run, cut your losses
Hurry up with Exodus 2.0!
Market looks slow, so here’s somthing to think about. In response to Bloomberg’s first question about people reachign out to him about running:
“I was lucky enough to receive some very flattering calls…I didn’t grow up in a world where I knew famous people. When you get a call from one of them, I pinch myself a little bit”
– Michael Bloomberg, Nov 25, 2019 (Norfolk VA press conference)
There are ony about 20 people in the world richer than Bloomberg. Imagine if you had $1M in assets and some other guy had $100k. That’s Bloomberg compared to Trump (or Steyer).
So who would make him “pinch himself” if they suggested he run? My guess is his fellow New Yorker Hillary Clinton.
Thanks Fly you salty fucker for puttin SAAS on my radar, because of you I’m seein giant dick and balls gains with ZS and OKTA over the past several weeks
