I received this email from Tobias Levkovich several months ago:

Subject: Passover

I wanted to take this opportunity
to wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy Passover! May the spirit of liberation from slavery be a reminder of G-d’s mercy and recognition of our ancestors’ suffering. Let Freedom reign amidst a world that needs recovery from the Covid pandemic as we begin to see some
vaccine lights at the end of the tunnel. This holiday provides us the great opportunity to appreciate our families and the good things we have versus the often less important stuff that we don’t.
Best,
T

At the funeral on Sunday the Rabbi recalled Tobias Levkovich's uniqueness in an anecdote about his last appearance on CNBC (you can watch it here ) - which was the day before his car accident. In that CNBC interview Tobias appeared in his home office and
behind him was a shofar. A shofar is made out of a ram's horn and is used in Jewish religious festivities and services.
I was brought to tears because I spoke to Tobias right after that interview and I had noticed the shofar. In that phone call he told me, and the Rabbi passed
on his similar discussion with him, that the placement was intentional. The shofar's placement was a subliminal message - Tobias wanted it to inspire all the young Jewish professionals who had recently entered Wall Street. @tomkeene @FerroTV @lisaabramowicz1 @jimcramer

Why I Am Short Netflix
* Netflix's first mover advantage is likely to be challenged in the years ahead
* The company's growth rate will likely moderate relative to expectations as the streaming market grows more crowded
The best days, from a rate of change viewpoint - in subscribers and in revenues, is probably behind Netflix ($NFLX) and I expect a rerating - lower - in the company's shares.
Netflix has had first mover advantage in the streaming business for quite a long time.
Though the company's market dominance will likely continue there are accumulating signposts that demand has been pulled forward and that its leadership in the marketplace will be now be challenged by numerous other players. That, through mergers and combinations, will have

My Stock of the Year for 2022 (By Far!) Is ViacomCBS $VIAC
* VIAC trades at only $40/share compared to a 'sum of the parts' value of $75/share
* Viacom's operating results in 2022-23 will likely exceed consensus expectations
* With a 12-month downside of only about -$3/share and upside of at least +$25/share, Viacom is a very compelling investment on a reward vs. risk basis
* I expect that there will be multiple suitors for Viacom -- including Comcast, Apple, Amazon and Google $CMCSA $AAPL $AMZN
I invest based on the notion of "margin of safety" and reward vs. risk. As such, Viacom (VIAC) easily qualifies as my Stock of the Year over the next 12 months and through 2022 based on these factors...

Sell Growth
This morning the yield on the ten year US note rose by another three basis points to 1.491%.
Meanwhile the price of crude oil is +$1.05/barrell and is closing in on $80.
And the prices of nearly everything has risen dramatically.
With rates rising and cost pressures persistent (and not likely transitory) it is time to sell/short the growth segment of the market - which typically behaves poorly under a higher inflation and interest rate backdrop.
I suspect that the most growth elements - large cap tech (FAANG plus M) will be under pressure and it is difficult for me to see (particularly after the magnitude of the rally from last Monday) the overall market (read: S and P Index) perform very well under these circumstances.

Clip art of a rock just sold for 400 ether, or about $1.3 million… The transaction marks the latest sale of EtherRock, a brand of crypto collectible that’s been around since 2017 – making it one of the oldest non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the block.
EtherRock is, as the name implies, a JPEG of a cartoon rock, built and sold on the ethereum blockchain. There are only 100 out there, and that scarcity is part of what’s driving up its value. So, what are these rock pics good for?
According to the EtherRock website, “These virtual rocks serve NO PURPOSE beyond being able to be bought and sold, and giving you a strong sense of pride in being an owner of 1 of the only 100 rocks in the game :)”
