Since we failed to touch #4444 and 4.44% , I bought my first tranche of $SPX Puts
#Mafs #Gothilocks Puts almost doubled so I took some off to bring my cost basis down, may ride the rest to Valhallah probably, not sure 🥹

The real dumpster dive trade isn’t $TLT , it’s the genetically modified child of $TLT and Cathie Wood called $XBI , the Biotech ETF

CPI Thoughts for Traders with ADHD
#Gothilocks #BigFlip

Just as everyone is cozy that Inflation is last year's story, a brave few have been warning about a pick-up in Inflation.

So lets make it simple:
(KISS = Keep It Simple Shrub)

- On Jan 24th, the Cleveland Fed Nowcast for JAN was at +0.53% mom
- But on Feb 10th, the JAN Nowcast got revised UP to +0.63% mom
- And we also have now an estimate for FEB and it's +0.68% mom!

Reminder: the DEC print came in at -0.10% mom & got revised today UP to +0.10%!

2023 is going to have proper Alpha in the Long and the Short.

Here's some Tales of Two Halves:

1. Europe vs US:
$DAX and $SX5E strong charts too (what happened to the Apocalypse?)
$SX7E European Banks in particular look like they are in a Bull Market.
$NDX not so much 2. But even within $NDX, $META is bouncing vs $TSLA in death spiral

Twitview of “Soul in the Game” by @vitaliyk

This is isn’t supposed to be a Book about Investing. But it actually is. And a great one.

Because investing is a personal journey.

Our investment style, in a way, is defined by our personal experiences. For example, @vitaliyk grew up in the cold & dark parts of Russia, listens to classical music, doesn’t eat deserts and takes cold showers.

Unsurprisingly, he’s a Value Investor 😂🙏

Since I'm closing the book tomorrow for holiday, I decided to punt on a $META call for tomorrow close.

Just so I throw away some money as tribute to the Gods.

This is a gamble
It has no fundamental view
It has no reason
Just like in a normal hedge fund

Closed at a loss to save some money.

The Tribute to the Gods has been paid 🙏
