    Everything Woke turns to SH*T!

    Not peddling merch... you must admit that this is a genius political move. Prepping for his 2024 campaign.

    That's what I thought. Apparently they're making dental crowns out of it now. Maybe I can now impress a lady at a local fossil and mineral show. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.colgate.com/en-us/oral-health/bridges-and-crowns/what-are-zirconia-crowns

    Thank you. I had one made by a dentist ($400) and tried an off-the-shelf model from CVS ($40).

    What would force an end to Fed and ECB QE?

    I wonder if Xi Xinping's "Common Prosperity" movement may somehow trigger the end. He's pushing it hard, and there's talk of change and bubble-popping out there.

    Something for me to look forward to.

    "Common Prosperity" by Xi Xinping

    Any thoughts on Xinping's "Common Prosperity" initiative? - What do you think of the policy? - What is it at heart? - How does this affect the markets? I've also read that he's trying to pop the housing bubble - How does this affect the free world, and free markets? - Seems that China-based...

    Stress and Trading

    Are you grinding your teeth while sleeping? Problem with the "trader nap" is that you grind to release stress--all that tension in your jaw has to go somewhere, and jaw muscles are the strongest in the body. I cracked a tooth last year... $2500 crown. Ask your dentist next cleaning; a good...

    Stress and Trading

    Breathing is very important. In yoga you learn to breathe and release, breathe into a stretch, and let the tension go. You must breathe while you trade! Especially in your style of trading, I can envision you standing before your terminal, gasping breaths, jaw clenched, eyes bulging, as you...

    Stress and Trading

    Breathe. It's so easy to forget to breathe. Try yoga to learn deep breathing. Also it might be your chair/posture. Are you doing the turtle head? Raise your monitor? Set up a cam and film yourself during a session. You will be shocked when you watch it. I had a terrible case of sciatica. I...

    CPI - January 2022 CPI weight update

    Yeah... we get lied to so much. It's so hard to believe a single word or number from any organization.

    CPI - January 2022 CPI weight update

    Can you explain more in-depth? Specifically, the math of the changes, and how it realizes these results?

    USD as world reserve currency coming to an end?

    Agree. I was chatting with a friend, and he pointed out that the world's reserve currency is not _dictated_, it's chosen by a _market_consensus_. After WWII, Sterling lost its reserve status because London was flat broke, and people trusted the USD far more. We are a long way from a market...

    Trading today's jobs report... Your ideas?

    Let's all get long and get rich. SnP to 100k, SPY to 1000. Ride this tsunami of cash to an early retirement. Simple.

    CPI - January 2022 CPI weight update

    That's what I'm afraid of. Is it me, or is this announcement a bit cryptic?

    CPI - January 2022 CPI weight update

    What does this mean? My tinfoil-hat personality thinks that they're going to fiddle with the numbers in 2022. Did that 5% spike in July attract a bit too much attention? https://www.bls.gov/cpi/notices/2021/2022-weight-update.htm QFT:

    What would force an end to Fed and ECB QE?

    Um... no? Let's say I short the SPY, attempting to time the pop. If I'm off by a few days, it will creep up a few dozen basis points, perhaps a full percentage point. Longer term I'd probably go down another 10% or more, but that's the bet... unless you're expecting a dramatic upspike in the...

    Trading today's jobs report... Your ideas?

    Methinks the key take-away is that there will be little policy change from Uncle Jerome and the FOMC on Sep 22nd. This, combined with the pending fiscal stimulus, means that the tsunami of new money flooding into the system continues: - No tapering - No rate increase - More QE and money...

    Trading today's jobs report... Your ideas?

    There's several factors; I think that urban areas have a ways to go. In NYC: 1. A lot of police resigned 2. Funding for another estimated 1100 police jobs dried up, in part due to that "de-fund the police" movement. 3. The remaining police are extra-cautious, and reluctant to get involved...
