Where to begin?
First we started with the UK Minister in Russia wearing a fucking mask and elbowing the Russian Minister, as a form of diplomacy to escape the horrors of war. He told her to fuck off and left her standing at the podium by herself in front of press.

It was going ok and I was +5% until Biden declared he would “act like the devil” himself to “get gas prices” down for trannies and POCs.

Fed’s Bullard releases an outrageous new item for markets mid-afternoon, declaring he would be in favor for a 100bps increase in rates.

And then it got worse.
Buy now pay never stock Affirm accidentally tweeted out an earnings miss, causing the stock to plummet by 40% from the session highs. It halted, collapsed again, halted, and everyone who was playing got raped.
So apparently the fucking morons at $AFRM accidentally tweeted their earnings intra day and caused the stock to careen lower and crash.
Here is the deleted tweet. pic.twitter.com/v3wmKua1f7

And then ASTR’s satellite blew up in space causing their stock to drop 30%.

While all of this was happening, the NASDAQ shed 300, but worse was the action in the bond markets. Treasuries, high yield, and junk collapsed in unison.
As for me, I managed fine — quickly positioning into UVXY and SQQQ positions to hedge my longs and closed the session +3%, off 2% from session highs. I did not sell my oils because of my belief there is a profound Russian put in the market now.
After the close, looks like good earnings out of NET, Z, and HUBS, so perhaps we can bounce. Truth is, we haven’t gone up on a Thursday in 7 weeks straight and the market has been incredibly difficult now with the specter of Fed hikes. At the end of the session there was even chatter the Fed might come out TOMORROW to do an emergency rate hike. If so, we might see the market truly collapse under those conditions.
Imagine the NASDAQ going up on a Thursday

Larov didn’t look well. That cantankerous expression on his face didn’t help matters.
Emergency rate hike? WTF kind of nonsense is this?
Someone saw Bullards remarks then bought some close to expiry put options on the cheap and leaked a ridiculous rumor to help it along.
So is Lavrov the deaf one or the mute one? Which one is worse? Did either of them cough, that shows true weakness…
With todays treasury carnage, 7y and 10y rates are at parity.
This is going to be the hottest bear market of your young dumb lives.
The front end of the curve is gone. 3y now trading for the same yield that 10y were at a week ago.
All going according to plan….bwahahahahaha!
We are on the verge of a 1-day 10% market crash, followed by even more significant carnage.
I’m no Cain “I talk way to much” Thaler or Fly “look how great I am while I piss away my wife’s income, oh and pay me to give you advice so you too can lose a fortune,” but I have my opinions…
Pelicans have beaks that look like hard skinny cocks. Doggies have small furry pee pees. Horses?
