On the flip side, it's kind of amazing how people can study the markets for decades and have no awareness of the rage that's percolated through the individual lives that are decimated by things like institutional levels of short-selling by an exploitive hedge fund class, and that these individual & sympathizers may look for ways to leverage pain points in the short-selling process to try and exact revenge. And how they create incentives for lots of others to jump in alongside when that revenge can spike profits 30%.

why buy GME for 100% when you can buy 'GME on Sol' meme for *checks notes*


2,000% in a day

In late Dec 2020 I bought a single GME call option, at $3.00 per contact, with a $20 strike expiring in late April. Best trade ever.

We've entered a world of zombie inflation. Wall Street is scared witless.

The sudden resurgence of inflation has caused some more alarmist analysts to suggest that the US economy is in deep trouble.

Question is, how many more industry-specific 'burps' are we going to see inflation from?

Naked covered calls slip aside…. This sucks

These people are absolute psychos, but they've been direct registering their shares which according to them, makes them unavailable to short sellers. There's also a cult like environment about never selling or waiting for an astronomical number. Will be interesting to see.

Tariffs are ghey

Tariffs are ghey

Not a fan either, but China's government literally supports EVERY industry with their currency manipulation to foster competitive imbalance, and they have a whole lotta tariffs in place to protect the stuff they want to dominate in.

Let's see if Joe (or whoever is managing him) is smart enough to invest those tariff proceeds into the items we're raising the rates on with China (e.g. chip manufacturing).

There are numerous mechanisms to limit imports, levy quotas, or legally challenged trade...but enacting tariffs makes one a super ghey, imo.

Inflation report = last month's #'s. Look at commodity prices since these measurements were recorded. Next month's PPI and CPI #'s are gonna HAVE to look "inflationary" because raw material costs continue to increase.

Just on annual compositions and seasonality alone, CPI is going up the next three months...and probably successively.

I got 4.6% down at First State bank in Yutan last week on a 5 year CD. Locked that puppy in.
