Encouraging Tape — But Losing Money Thus Far

The day is young, but I like what I see. The breadth is more or less at 50% — both Dow and Nasdaq sharply higher. Commodities are dead — and I closed out my hedges for small losses. Still, I am off by about 1% this morning, thanks in large part of a pastiche of stocks not doing much of anything but trade lower. But I like my chances catching a seam today — because it’s Friday and because God has designated me as his go to money making machine on this flat flat planet.

In the event I am wrong, I suspects I could lose up to 3% today, given the shit that I own. But let’s not think about that and instead focus on the fact that I am 50% cash, with 100% of my balls intact.

Lots of momo stocks are getting hit and it looks like a giant raping out there. Nevertheless, I remain stoically optimistic!

    Do they want Trump? If they do, they will keep the market up until November.

    But they’ve got to be concerned about this particular off-script violation committed by him earlier this week https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wQKpXabtUs

      Hope you’ve got stop in place. There’s not much risk holding short if one knows in advance that more evidence of fraud will be published over the weekend.

    Business Opportunity
    Simulcasting sporting events such as the US Open.

    Much of the broadcaster’s commentary is insufferable. Rambling on about social issues and other nonsense. At least McEnroe is on topic, if subdued.

      Probably.
      But they were in Oregon long before the California refugees, the hipster doofus types, and the pajama soy boys hanging in Portland and Eugene.

          I never understood that gender reveal stuff.
          But then again, I am finding I don’t understand much these days.
