Making Lemonade With All These Damned Lemons

Hard tape, down another 650 — for you. For me, this is what I was born for — to preside over the fires burning bright and hot with orchestral music whirring in the background. While you sat there wondering when stocks would bottom and when you could stop being such a faggot, Le Fly, a man of action, is minting coin.

Now I do not tell you these things to make you jealous. I will give you these fish. All you have to do is reserve a table at House Exodus and they are yours. Someone has to thrive in all this, might as well be me.

TODAY’S BOUNTY

IFMK +32% (bought in AHs last night after seeing volume and price tick)
FAZ +3.7% (bought into close, had a ‘hunch’)
GRIL +23% (BRO, WANT SOME WHEY WITH THOSE HARD BOILED EGGS)
GRIL +10% (so good I bought it twice)

I have three positions left, one of which is a DOUBLE SIZED position. I am not sure if the market is bottoming and I really do not care. I cannot concern myself with macro events, which is why I sold out of my retirement and Quant accounts in total. I am Captain of this vessel and if it’s going down, I will preside over it — not some harebrained “buy and hold” stratagem that only works during good times.

    Yes! The time has come for men to take control of their retirement accounts and destiny. You don’t want 5 layers of bureaucracy between you and your money, (‘did that yrs ago)

    We don’t know where the COVID witch trials will lead. But in the end most will likely be separated from their coin whether by bail-in, bail-out, corrolito…whatever.
    Take what is yours before it’s too late!

    Buy and hold makes Johnny very dull and very poor.

    You know it’s bad when Nourial Roubini sounds almost mainstream.
    No overnight holds. 15% treasuries 85% cash. Looking for something to buy.

    I joined Exodus for kicks to see if I could follow Flys trades – it’s not really possible I just took a 17% loss on GRIL where he took a 23% gain.

        I’m a long term investor been in FANG stocks since the 2008 bottom, not really a trader but was curious if it would be possible to follow his trades. It does not work unless maybe you don’t work a real job and sit in the Pelican room every minute and even then he pumps and dumps low volume stocks.

          You liar

          What is your name in Exodus?

          I trade liquid stock and all of my Pelicans make money. If you lost on GRIL, that happens in volatility. But don’t make outrageous claims like I’m only trading small stocks. I swing in ETFs and highly liquid virus related names lately.

          What is your handle in Exodus?

            A little of A, a little of B…

            Of course its “volatiltiy”, Fly! That’s not a feature of your picks, that’s a BUG.

            Unless you post your trade BEFORE you make it (giving a chance for the Pelicans to get the same prices as you), you’re almost guranteed to make 5-10% more than your pelicans on low-volume, micro-caps.

            An alterantive approach would be to create an *actual fund* that you trade and that Exodus members could buy into. That way, everyone would have the same buys and sells as you.

            Again, I’m not implying that it’s all luck – you defeintely are more skilled than average. Of course, if some Pelican member wants to chime in with their gains from those ^ trades, then i guess we could see how that works.

            I’m not lying I posted my results and I missed big runs like aprn. Watching your trades in the Pelican have been impressive to watch but as a working guy trying to follow between work meetings based on the email alerts it seems impossible to follow. Probably great for full time traders to share ideas.

    Stay home. Lay on couch. Open mailbox. Get money. Buy weed. Smoke weed. Buy stocks. Get rich!

      Do not smoke it. Ruins your lungs. Grass ain’t my cup of tea, but if it was, I’d partake in the edibles. Just some friendly advice. Engaging in activities that can cause future pulmonary issues should be avoided at all costs.

          Just trying to help a brother out. Honestly, I know many people that smoked weed only in their younger days and they have the same pulmonary issues as cigarette smokers. My understanding is the edibles are just as good just takes a little longer to feel the effects

    Retail sentiment is at a level that could give us a move up. Usually reliable. I don’t about this time but I sure would like a chance to load up on puts.

    Lighten up on Fly. The stuff he gives away is better than some of what you have to pay for.
    I tried Exodus. It wasn’t my thing but it was as advertised, very good tools.
    Besides he gives us internet creatures a place to post our trash. Show some respect.

      GOin with FLy si probably a better use of your money thatn 95% of investment advisors. Most of those guys can (and will) be replaced by computers (robo-advisors) that are just as effective.

      However, one thing to remember about AIs: they only *learn* what they are *taught*. They can’t adapt to new situations easily, sothey will be calssic dip-buyers for the most part.

        For me what I’ve learned most is more attitude. I’ve tried to follow his trades too and it is not my style

    Shares are definitely moving from weak hands to strong hands in this environment. I had no idea there were so many weak hands among Flys readership.
