The Vaccines Are Coming

For over a decade I heard wingnuts talk about a grande globalist scheme to crash the economy in order to usher in a new world order. The mark of the beast would be delivered to the masses in the form of a microchip that was going to augment your brain and merge you with machines. Said merger would kill humanity, which would of course release a paradox unto the world that would move past correlation and into causality. The new human race could then space travel and wreak fuckery throughout the universe and mine for platinum on the moon.

Naturally all of this is happening now and you are going to be forced to vaccinate your children and your loved ones else face excommunication. You will not be permitted to school or to travel or work. Do not believe for a moment that the DEEEEEEEP state won’t sacrifice your lives in exchange for the grande plan immediately. Things must get back to normal. Hollywood must make pictures and museums must work at full capacity. In order to get there, you will, all of you will, have to take TWO DOSES of the COVID-19 vaccine, which will have harsh side effects for 15% of you. Some will die, collateral damage in this new world war we are fighting, the microbe that kills 0.2% of the people it attacks.

If you don’t like it, leave — but you can’t because travel will be for vaccinated only.

I will of course take the vaccine, possibly two vaccines if possible. I am very curious about the Russian vaccine and would like to enjoy that alongside the NIH one too.

Over the past twenty years we’ve slowly but surely seen Sears and Kmart give way to Amazon and Apple. Now with nearly a year of total lockdown, human behavior has shifted more aggressively than ever towards online vendors, eschewing the brick and mortar stores — but not crushing all. If you look at sales of WSM and other smart retailers, you will see massive spikes in their online sales. The big losers in all of this, which should come as no surprise, is the mom and pop stores, tiny businesses without credit lines or staying power. Those companies will die en masse over the next year, if not sooner. Also, the vaccine will not save them.

Enjoy your weekend.

There isn’t any downside to buying SPACs between $10 and $14. The whole point of these assclowns existing is to boost the value of the stock price. Why the fuck else would XYZ reverse merge into these shells? This is the current craze now and I’m seeing 10 added to the market every single day.

Naturally, this will eventually cause a magnificent crash, as the totality of the SPAC space encroaches on $100b in market cap. They’re all dicking around in the dirt for the next EV or AI or gene editing play. They’re all wholly intent on acquiring a company for MAXIMUM SHARE PRICE EXPLOSION.

Today I traded in and out of a half dozen, maybe more. I’m also just buying them now without any due diligence or even thought. I simply glance at one and accept its existence and then I buy it. I expect to sell all of my purchases for a minimum of 10% higher.

Today’s big winners were STPK and HCCH. But they’ll be plenty more. Literally nothing can stop it and I hope you’re all paying attention to the GREAT SPAC ATTACK OF 2020.

For the week, I was +7.1%.

Enjoy your weekend, plebs.

Good news everyone. Our fiscal deficit is highest since WW2, only this time the Hitler is COVID-19. We will need to build 20 new aircraft carriers to defeat this new Hitler, however, who is clever enough to evade our traditional weapons. I understand only the mask can prevent him from killing us all — so please adhere to the muzzle and be sure to remain 6ft away from your fellow man, else 2020 Hitler will kill you where you stand.

Easy fucking peasy. I don’t really have issues with holding stocks — but it’s far more enjoyable to move things around. I have my long term accounts and my quant account, so this account, the one you see here, is designated for absolute alpha.

The NASDAQ is +60. Don’t expect any sell off this afternoon.

This is the classic olde bozo rally, where someone gets elected and promised to wreak havoc on an industry, only to see said industry fly higher as if they just invented condoms. We are talking BIG FUCKING OIL HERE. By the looks of it, BIG FUCKING OIL is soon to be deep dicking your water reservoirs soon to tap into a little more sour crude. They’ve got the rigs ready to head up into the arctic to drill straight thru penguins and polar bears, right to that black gold. Big hatted men from Dallas will count their hard earned cash, whilst investing in solar panels and ethanol based energy.

Meanwhile, aluminum and steel are behaving like we’re about to undergo another industrial revolution. Major spikes in names that make money off Chinese trade.

Yesterday there was chatter of resolving that Huawei CFO business in Canada. Under Trump, China was a dogged enemy. Under Biden, I believe BUSINESS AS USUAL.

So many places to make coin, so little time.

Up more than 200bps early going.

I got greedy and made some mistakes — full chested, big dicked, testosterone laden with hubris errors. I stepped into piece of shit E-gaming incel play SLGG and lost a quick 7%. I had a 6% gain in BLNK and watched it dissipate to a booked loss of 3%. I made an error by thinking ZAGG could win, and lost a quick 3.8%. I did a few good trades too, but on the whole — I presided over a 2.6% gain by 2:30pm and then proceeded to rapidly reduce said gains, as if I were some sort of retarded monkey. I closed out the session utterly and completely depressed, up 1.2%.

In theory, I should be pleased with 1.2% — but I am not. My day has been ruined and I feeeeeeeel like a loser — so there is that.

Perhaps the stock Gods will bestow an AH’s scorcher for me like they did last night with GMHI — permitting me to sell from the confines of my local target at 7pm for a 17% gain. Ah, the halcyon days of last night. I only wish I could relive that over and over again for the balance of my days.

95% long into the close — not feeling good about it either.

I should be going to cash, following such terrific gains. Up 20% in my trading in the last two weeks, +30% in my Quant — a near doubling in ETH during a time of extreme uncertainty seems to be an anomaly of some sort. I keep thinking “this is it — this is the plunge to do us in for good” but it never happens. Each time we wane and stagger, I jump in with inverse ETFs and almost every single time I do it — I lose money. The thought process is along the lines of roulette — “this time will be different. I know what I’m doing.”

But it’s more of the same, over and over, up and up we go, without intermission, and without reason.

We are, undoubtedly, in the most severe bubble since the dot com era. Instead the internet and B2B, we have SAAS and vaccines and electric cars, and solar panels.

When will it end? No use in trying to anticipate the rug pull. I will tell you — because I remember it well and wrote two books about my ordeal, that the beginning of the dot com crash felt different. The selling was frenzied and the volatility ramped, sort of like what we saw in March of last year. Until the characteristics of the tape change, it’s probably a good idea to keep betting on what’s breaking out now.

For the session, so far, I am +235bps, 15% cash.

Last night after a game of tennis I was entreated to an explosion in an overnight hold, GMHI. It now goes under the ticker LAZR. I sold it for a 17% gain after 7pm. I then supped, read, showered, watched some Forsyte Saga, and went to bed.

I awoke from a 4 hr slumber this morning and liquidated OZON for a 10% win, took an L in CRIS for 10%, and then proceeded to win a lot more. Presently, I am 15% cash, up 200bps.

I now have a pastiche of good names all gently moving higher, nothing at all for me to do. I simply will sit here and wait and then sell some more and then buy some more and then profit again.

It was a bit tricky today, with minor rotation out of some momo stocks and into others. The thing about trading high beta stocks is the eventuality that there will be days you will lose money while the market is trending up.

The point of investing is to make money and compound those returns over decades. That is how we make the big money, yes? So, and it goes without saying, your sole purpose is to never blow up, never place yourself in the inextricable position of ruin. How do we accomplish this?

Delete the Wall Street Bets bookmark and stop talking to fucking idiots on Twitter.

In order to ensure market participation you have to be long the stocks working now and your position sizes must be small. I always take a 5% weighting for all positions, meaning a portfolio of mine is 20 stocks. There are times I will up the ante. Last year this time I went 10x BLUE in order to prove a point. But, more or less, 5% weighting is max.

When trading, if you’re not moving in and out of 20 stocks a day, you’re not really trading and not honing your skills. There are days I spin myself to death and trade 70 stocks. Rarely is there a day I trade less than 10. To become good at anything, you need to practice, naturally. And to make sure things are moving quickly — take the profits and the losses fast. I usually book them at 4%, but will permit winners more leniency to the upside because we are in a bull market. I endeavor to make money on the volume of my wins, not the magnitude of them.

Lastly, and I cannot stress this enough: take half your money and place it in a diversified quantitative portfolio or something equal to it that will track the market closely. For morons, buy QQQ and you’ll do fine. As traders, we are prone to burn out and enter in and out of streaks — which makes returns bumpy. Moderate that inevitability by having a large portion of your liquid net worth safely ebbing against the market’s upwards trajectory.

Greetings yet again. Markets are stable and I am of course making money in some pockets and areas of finance. There is a lot to consider, as we race quickly towards the Xmas tree that towers over thousands of dollars of gratuitous “presents”. Items granted to our loved ones because “it’s super cute” or “super awesome” and we really like to display our affection for one another via meaningless items purchased online via PayPal.

However, and in spite of all the contrary evidence, I am extremely bullish on mankind, even Bill Gates. It is my belief that people want and will do the right thing. And as a whole, society continues to evolve and progress towards a dignified standard of living for all. Perhaps if you only focused in on the inane or perused ANTIFA and MAGA rallies you might think otherwise. But deep down, in the real world, you know I am right. Heck in America the poorest amongst us are fat, lazy slobs, befitted with iPhones, parlays all day smoking pot paid for by government.

Bear in mind, all of this grandeur that you enjoy is only possible under a dollar supremacy. If, for whatever reason, the dollar lost its reserve status, we’d be in a much different position. The dollar is only reserve status due to our financial mite, backed by our space aged military. The second we lose that gusto, all falls. Until then, enjoy the trimmings of late stage crony-capitalism and quit trying to fight the momentum. We have a good thing going and I enjoy my life, albeit it’s a big moribund at the moment. Depression is of course a state of mind. If feeling glum, I strongly advise some exercise and several hobbies. Keep a schedule going and try to maintain a strong physique.

Into the final hour, we are bullish and we shall buy MOAR.

I know the indices show red, but my screens show lots of green, especially in the small capped space, especially in the Biden oriented beta-cuck windmill sectors. I took out two losses today for 6% and dove right back into the thick of things and declared myself “a man” with some high beta stocks — beta cucked that is. I will soon depart you to WALK THE FUCKING DOGS in the cruelty of the cold weather.

I am 35% cash and eager to find new ideas — but I will not, I shant participate in this oil driven tomfoolery. I would rather die 1,000 times in a burning car under water than lose another cent in a fucking Californian oil well.

Nevertheless, things more or less look ambient. My quant is up 94bps and I am feeling well rested, fed, and flexible.

More later.
