Christmas is easily my least favorite holiday and my only wish is that I had a more fervent belief in God in order to celebrate the holiday as it should be, not rife with needless and pointless consumerism. Do the kids really appreciate the presents? Absolutely not. I cannot tell you how many times my wife and I hauled ass to buy shit only to have them remain in their respective boxes, unopened by our children, forever. They only care about the opening of the presents, the sheer magnitude of the gifts, and the pageantry of Christmas. Most kids don’t even know it was the birthday of the son of God.
So here I am encroaching on my least favorite holiday. Markets closed with a “FUCK YOU” candle at the close, which shaved 40bps off my returns in 3 mins.
I closed leveraged at 118%, +133bps for the day, eager for more. I’d venture we bust loose next week and into the New Year’s, at which point I will most likely switch to bearish and prepare for a January swoon.
It’s important to note, especially for those struggling while trading, the Stocklabs mean reversion algos crushed again.
That represents a move in the SPY from $450 at the time of OS to $471 today.
Enough of me shilling my fucking platform. Have a pleasant time with your families. Do not drink and drive — but drink heavily and engorge yourselves to the best of your abilities. There is much work to be done and we will be busy in 2022 and God knows the toils and tumult we’ve been through and will continue to endure. Take this respite to disconnect from the world and focus on the people you love.
With grace,
Father Fly

Merry Christmas & congrats on the Stocklabs release!
This holiday season, safety is paramount for our family.
Our family will enjoy our Christmas dinner, each in a separate room of our house, double-masked + face shields, surgical gloves. All will be tested morning, noon and night.
The kids were a little upset as it was necessary to eliminate some covid vectors before the big day. Sadly Dr. Fauci told us pets get and transmit the virus and they must be eliminated for the common good.
Little Johnny took it hard when that high-caliber hollowpoint between-the-eyes splattered Rover’s brains about the backyard. (Johnny cried throughout the cleanup.) Our fluffy white kitten Snowflake fared no better and did not look especially good in Christmas red, minus her fluffy little head.
At least we are now safe! (until the next variant is conjured and released from the lab.)
Safe New Year to All!
You lost me at “high-caliber hollowpoint between-the-eyes splattered Rover’s brains”
Merry Christmas to the House of Fly! Dickens is the only real Christmas fun. I prefer Easter and Halloween.
“Christmas is easily my least favorite holiday”
Bite yerr tangue…I’m a raging atheist. In fact I consider any adult who fancies themselves in such dumb fantasies to be of low grade intellect, and of course beneath me.
But, I fucking LOVE Christmas!!!
And since you’re beneath me, I’ll take the earned permission to give you advise; gift the one’s you love with experiences, not things…plays, trips, vacations, outings of any kind
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
Christmas isn’t an excuse to go scuba diving you cunt
I appreciate your acknowledgement that there is in fact a loving and caring God, notwithstanding the fake holiday which acknowledges only a bearded gift bearer from fantasy land. That’s progress…
May God bless you and your family with the peace and joy that comes only from Him.
Go no gifts. Share your favorite foods and such, but request that that be the limit of gifting.
Market barons weren’t kind on the pagan-turkey day. But they sure showed their love of Christ. I had the best 3 days of trading, pre-Chritsmas!
Doc is right, all this gifting steals from the serenity and reflection worthy of the day.
Merry Christmas all.
at 8pm for 6 hours a mob of men & women in disguise began plundering 200 stores & shops. First they seized bread, rice coffee & sugar, later clothing and luxuries of every kind.
Roux declared, in the midst of great applause, “shopkeepers were only giving back to the people what they had hitherto robbed them of”. Paris 1793
