Amazon Beats; America Runs on Looters

It was nearly a guaranteed trade, one that I felt comfortable enough to share with the unwashed reader class of investor. Amazon smashed earnings and we were confident heading into quarterly results because there wasn’t a chance Microsoft, who beat yesterday, was going to take market sure from AWS. On top of that, we see the looters RAMPAGING across America — grabbing wares from Macy’s, Nordstrom, Gucci and whoever else keeps their doors open for business.

This is America — a land of grift and thievery, criminal elements operating outside the reach of the law — forcing citizenry to accumulate fire arms to one day, possibly, shoot potential looters attempting to foray into their garages.

I closed the session +28bps in highly responsible, highly professional trading. When I use the term “professional” — I do so with purpose, as I possess a steep history of success in both trading and investing — making public market calls since 2007. Some of my lesser adversaries like to believe this isn’t so — mainly because it’s fun to pretend and to believe in the greatness of others, at least for those insecure in their own world standing, is to admit to being second fiddle.

GOOD SIRS —

You are all second fiddle when it comes to me and trading. None of you can compare, as I am quite literally the single best trader in America today.

Returns since 2021

Into tomorrow, I am incredibly downcast on this market and intend to sell any rips. The great storm is upon us and not even the looters will escape its wrath. I am short the Russell 2000 and long volatility, crossed against a pastiche of hand curated longs and 25% cash. Year to date, my returns stand at an impressive +41% — and +1,100% since 2021 — none of which was achieved through wanton risk or degeneracy — all attained with moderate sized equity positions alone sand options, futures, and all of the other low brow tools the gambler class of investor gravitates towards as a ploy to make up for their lack of skill.
