A Wondrous Time and Market

Are you having fun yet?

I went to pick up ANTIFA FLY from the school yard today and left +2.2%, a genteel and fine offering. I felt good about the stock market because it had looked good and everyone inside Stocklabs was making money — talking with their mouths full — day drinking in the sun but not drunk, just imbibed enough to drive into the sun and parlay over on the side of the road with a fishing pole to catch tonight’s supper.

Lo and behold, tragic events awaited me, once again, and I came back to an account down 50bps from the peak and then I got stubborn and bought more and then the market went lower again and again and again — ending the session off by 132 NASDAQs. It was the sort of day where buyers evaporated into dust and nothing but sellers, a steady drip of them, led the market lower by its nose, slow and easy — simmering almost. By 4pm I was done, up only 67bps on a day when I was supposed to gain 3%.

For the week I was RACKED for 5.5% and I close out this week entirely long and in fact on some margin. I am supremely confident we bounce very hard on Monday — because the spirit and the mood of the country is grand and joyous. We are building back better and united, more united than ever, and the spirit of Jefferson courses through our veins in our fight against COVID and all of the many 80 years old and morbidly obese good people who are dropping dead because of it.

Personally, I cannot wait to get vaxxed and then in about 5 months boosted so that I too can cavort again in NYC, like when I was a younger man, and gain access to privileges, such as eateries and perhaps a Broadway show, maybe even a cocked tail. From my vantage point, as a nation, we cannot allow the unvaccinated go unchecked and live amongst themselves spreading viruses to those of us who are FULLY MEDICATED. I propose, if I might be so bold, to send cops into minority areas and force them to inject the medicine into their bodies. I say this, not to be racist or anything like this, but I find it so annoying that 75% of black folks do not want the vaccine and have not taken it. This, as you know, cannot stand, and we should restrict these people from flight, access to healthcare, and all of the many privileges responsible people in America are afforded, thanks to Dr. Fauci, Bill Gates and everyone else at the NIH and BIG PHARMA for making us safe again!
