Finished right at Weds lows. 19,200. Sounds soooooo stupid but I think we have seen a low set in. World markets all seem to have bottomed.
I bought a little as a degen, opposite, trust the chart pick. Government action is usually late and a sign of a bottom too.
What could go wrong?
Ridicule me on Monday
The best kink would be a gap up on Monday after everyone stripped themselves bare at the close.

He never did much investing. He had a family of 5. College, braces.
He and I hit it off. We both loved airplanes. I was very curious about WWII and Korea. The greatest generation shit. These guys BELIEVED in shit. Zero cynicism. So pure was life in the 50’s & 60’s. Fascinated me to no end. Made me feel good. It was like some Disney choreographed pretend life.
He lived like a prince in retirement. Travel. The most care-free and happy guy. He passes away at an old age. Military group traveled out to do their thing with the bugles and flag. Nice.
His elderly wife has since gone to an assisted living retirement community. Still on IBM’s dime. I visit occasionally. Beautiful facility.

How’s that 401k doing?
the 401k - It's looking like 2008 with more at stake
I was looking at old school dividend stocks today. The wife wants to start throwing more money into the market and wants a good pick. I said what about IBM? That's like old school cool.

of course there will be a bull trap on monday.
and then trump will start freestyling about the 'deep state department' and we will close red. again.
my spy puts expire on april 13 and are already 40% up as of friday night. if i can dump them before we lose the weekends gains and parlay them while dji is green while vega hedging vix, all the better.
lol sike rand paul just tested positive for coronavirus spy 190 by sundown.

spy 180 is a bottom point WITHOUT the economy disintegrating and government continuity being threatened by a plague.
spy 180 is the bottom just for losing our baby fat. everything else = muscles getting cannibalized until people can leave their house and go shopping for toilet paper again.
behold, the miracle of a 4tn fed debt purchase.
we went from down 650 to down 350. and rand paul's status hasnt hit drudge yet.

I know precisely your “baby fat” reference and I am a believer. Encyclopedic recall of all your work.
I’m talking Monday. I think we are singing in perfect harmony big picture. You gotta understand Weds is a long term capital gain in my world.

yeah apologies if im talking past your points. if trump shuts the fuck up all day, monday green might happen. id absolutely love to see it happen because i left a amzn call cooking and id love to cash it out +. and the fed movement gives me hope.
but everything is so fucking fragile right now, short of an actual 'we have this shit licked' announcement, nothings going to 'fix' the market momentum, we are just going to have brief deviations from course.
It’s the job loss data that I worry about.
Was it built in? I’m not surprised. We knew Friday. But it’s not me who sets prices.
Sunday is a new week for those that apply. This is all that matters. This is recession depression stuff.
I am not hanging on corona at all. You win by moving past the present.
It’s time to call in an appraiser and get a quote on the damage. That’s me.
Privately, I worry about the private equity world. My kid and the tech kids I like are gonna get wrecked. It’s a lock. Sad
that fed announcement bump in futures is already deflating.
im not sure id worry about private equity, a lot of cash was accrued by VC firms in 2019. biotech markets are going to be intensely fertile.
We will bookmark this for later. Be at least a little worried in the meantime.Quote:

keeping an eye on bay area real estate price trends would be prudent.

I want to share a thought about tomorrow and the poker game generally - my posts seem disjointed. I’m long Monday but see depression.
Grand unifying theory
When the last fool buys the asset (thinks he/she is getting a great deal on CCL at a discount) liquidity dries up completely and the no bid scenario develops.
You need a retracement to fall. It gives you liquidity. This idea is like a 3 wood or 7 iron in my bag. I could almost live without all the rest
It provides the requisite pain that is core to proper market function.
Mostly I’m bonkers

My company was in the middle of trying to acquire Series B funding for a software platform and cut their ask in half from 20M to 10M. From the sounds of it, doesnt seem that they are too confident getting that 10M either.
Tales from the hood. Thank youQuote:

My daughter kid is your neighbor. I used to refer to her as the Vegas Zappos daughter. Zappos was Amazon. She gets a good plug from the Amazon crew and she has bounced from one Amazon funded startup to another. This may save her.
Her bedroom is now a sewing room. Wife is making quilts. You can buy quilts cheaper than what it costs her to make them.
I know a NYC Greek themed restaurant developer that prolly didn’t his next round of funding.

Truth of the matter is this bill they are working on in Congress is no closer to passing then I am playing QB for the patriots next season.
It’s unanimous 100-0 in the senate “something” is going to get passed. Same in the house. White House is on board too.
They have absolutely zero consensus on what’s going in it. This might take another whole week before whatever “it” is gets passed.

ELON was never about cars. Sonatine is a poet and he was using imagery to tell a grander story.
Musk will always be remembered as the face of the speculative stock bubble that ended in 2020 like Pets.com was 2000.
The old Elon thread was raised organically and naturally until Druff meddled. It was rebranded and dumbed down for radio randoms. Nobody had any trouble navigating before.
If you want to post barbecue here I really wouldn’t mind.
Merge the Elon Musk, Elon Tusk, Coronavirus, Bitcoins are DD, and Trump Train threads together and be done with it.
Today was cup cakes. Trying to get my daughter in the kitchen during this break.Quote:
