How Was Your Year?

Even though I talk EXTREME shit here and make it look easy — I fully admit that 2023 hasn’t been easy. From the onset of the year with the fucking banking crisis until now with the nonsensical price action in crude, you either needed to do nothing and remain long $QQQ and $SPY or timed the rotations like an extreme champion of the very first order.

I, of course, am the latter and preside over you at +61% year to date — matching my returns from 2022. Whilst we’re broaching the subject, let’s review my publicly trading performance against your best index: the fucking NASDAQ.

NASDAQ vs The Fly
2020: +47.6% / +300%
2021: +26.6% / +218%
2022: -33% / +61.6%
2023: +52% / +61.2%

This is why when my detractors come out from the wood works and yell out things, such as “TOP” or “FARCE” I don’t take it seriously. None of you, if I am being honest, are serious people.

Into tomorrow, I am long but with a 15% hedge via $TZA and $UVIX. I did shift funds into RISK AVERSE names like $KR, $KMB, and $MCD because the tape was a little tepid today and I wouldn’t want to soil my good name by having even 1 down day.

The returns are good. The market is strong. And both my health and mental state are in top shape.
