KNEE DEEP IN SHIT

I didn’t possess the eternal fortitude to close green today. I had flirted with down 0.6% twice and twice went back to -2% — and ended up somewhere in the middle down 99bps. I was UP 4.5% for the week, +26.6% YTD. But I feel depressed by missing out on today’s somewhat tradeable tape and I also cannot shake the feeling of apprehension, especially since the market is overdue for a drubbing and I’m 138% leveraged long without a hedge.

More than that, I own shit — such as LTRY, SOUN, AI, RGTI, WTI, TELL, OCG and even OPRA.

On this issue of Opera. One could say this is a shot in the dark. The thesis is as follows:

Google is under pressure due to a competing search engine in Bing applying superior AI tech. Opera, a piece of shit browser, might be tempted to partake in the AI bonanza. If so, and I do declare this to be a prediction, the stock will STEAM the fuck higher. The issue is, OPRA is illiquid and generally a piece of shit.

I had a good thing going today, trading inside the garbage cans, up until I got greedy and got my brains blown out in VLON — losing 18% in a matter of minutes. These things happen and I am surprised I was able to close down just 99bps — given how stupid I was all day.

If I had to guess about my prospects, I’d say grim. I went on a nice run and had a lot of fun — but it’s probably over.

This weekend let’s all root for Russia to win and hopefully cause a nice great big spike in WTI-Brent. You should also be looking at the WTI-Brent spread, which is BOOOOOLISH for refiners. I have many ideas, most are fanciful and rarely turn out to be anything but extensions of my vivid imagination. I attribute my recent success to trading inside of the trash can. If you have been trading real stocks with real businesses — not too much fun. The big moves are in AI, LIDAR, autonomous tech, short squeezes etc.

I’d like very much for stocks, especially the ones that I own, to gap higher on Monday. I do believe in my heart of hearts that I am deserving of such grandeur and hopefully all of you will say a prayer for me this weekend — asking God to grant me a little more profit than what I presently have.
