    is Cathie Wood’s fund in trouble?

    This is true. But to be honest, she did mention somewhere that she knew most in her portfolio would under-perform. But the goal was to hit a few lucky 100+ baggers to raise the average performance.

    Micro-ETH Futures -- Big Swinging Dick

    Well shit, did you see that crazy PUT/CALL ratio today in the markets? So much bearish sentiment, people only wanted to trade PUTs. That was crazy. I had to hold off myself from selling more PUTs at these premiums. Markets in the red again, and crypto still falling further. The irony, is...

    is Cathie Wood’s fund in trouble?

    https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/morning-wood-hours-after-ark-founder-says-innovation-stocks-are-deep-value-two-major Looks like she is asking for a 5-year horizon before being judged. Well, to be fair, if you did buy-in half a decade ago, you are technically still up a little.

    ARKK (barkk?)

    I remember watching a bunch of millennial cult-followers of Woods getting their feathers all riffed up when it became public that Dr. Burry was shorting against ARKK and had strong conviction it was inevitable to bust. But the fan-bois were too busy shouting how stupid Michael Burry was and...

    Ukraine Legalizes Bitcoin

    I can not help but notice this happened shortly after Russia tried to outright ban it. Not sure that's a coincidence, haha. That said, the hashrate spiked over 30%, looks like those russian miners have begun to re-start their operations again.

    is Cathie Wood’s fund in trouble?

    Buwahaha! I remember Niederhoffer poking fun at both iOmega & Motley fool with the newsletters he'd get: Motley Fool issues rare all-in buy alert! iOmega stock you can retire on.

    ARKK (barkk?)

    How the mighty have fallen. Only ~$10 away from the pre-covid prices now. I wonder where the bag-holders are hiding at; we haven't even seen the full devastation yet when interest rates go up and Tesla falls like a brick.

    Options Education - Got a Website / Book / PDF You Like? Post It Up

    Alright, I found this oldie at the local library. Though I'm not fully sure if this one should be avoided at all costs (I'm still reading early into it), lol. The 100% Return Options Trading Strategy Well if that doesn't already sound suspect... apparently it's possible you can double your...

    is Cathie Wood’s fund in trouble?

    This has definitely been a bad year for ARKK. And by 'bad' that's pretty much an understatement. However, if you were an early bird and got in back in 2017, you are still up (for now) if you discount inflation, hehe. Let's see how much worse it gets when interest rates crank up. In 10 years...

    Micro-ETH Futures -- Big Swinging Dick

    Tomorrow is Feb 18, which is EXPIRATION FRIDAY! That means, today is the day just before, so last night I already planned what to do with today's pending crypto crash/dip. Not to overly the obvious, but crypto still crashes the day prior to expiration Friday. I am still scratching my head here...

    Bitcoin same as futures?

    The only future's I've bothered with are the micro-Ethereum Futures (CME Group). That contract size is 1/10th of what an ETH coin is. So therefore, it should be a retailer favorite. But it's very new so just getting some traction. Now, when CME Group adds Options trading on those futures, (in...

    How do you fight with this?

    I guess the best solution I can think of, is to consult Nancy Pelosi's crystal ball.

    Is it true that stop losses with help market prices move towards it, because it's an order waiting?

    The markets generally tend to move in what ever method brings the most pain. This is independent of market sentiment. You could have the most bullish market belief ever by 99% of the public, but if there is a lot of levered up LONGs, they will get hit first, and hardest. Again, it doesn't matter...

    How do you fight with this?

    "2 parties who believe the market will go in different directions-" Well... TECHNICALLY that is not always the case. A portfolio manager generally has the same thoughts as the person who is selling them the PUTs. But... due to 'insurance/hedge' reasons, the manager will still go long PUTs 'just...

    How do you fight with this?

    It seems like you are looking for a simple solution to beating a casino. I'm not sure what else you want us to tell you. Perhaps you should go for something predictable, like buying bonds.

    Judging by the SB ads, this is the year when cryptos die

    One of the catalysts for BTC is the inflation argument. If the Fed can start getting things under control and winning this issue, then Michael Saylor will start to have to change his narrative a bit. But... Since inflation will always be targeted at 2% as optimal by economists, we'll never hear...

    Uneventful markets today

    Depends on your meaning of load-up. There is much more out there to SHORT... such as some of the popular shit among millennial investors: Yes folks... we live in a new paradigm... "This time it's different-"

    Crocodile of Wall Street

    Thankfully they were 'foolish enough' to keep their keys recorded in the cloud, etc. so that the FBI could uncover most of them. Still a chunk out there unaccounted for, but I'm happy to see a big bust like this. More is likely to follow. Anyway, now instead of an unknown-rapper, she's a...
