    Tesla 2023

    I don’t use non-pro analysts because they do not have access to management or the same level of info as sell side analysts.

    Tesla 2023

    I don't currently cover TSLA, but my summary view is that the stock is in transition and may benefit from (1) resetting expectations w/ conservative guidance and (2) a stable and improving margin story through remainder of the year. I like the industry because EV CAGR through 2035 looks...

    "Scaling out" is inferior behavior

    Yeah, that speaks to your conviction. I trade early and aggressively or my edge decays.

    "Scaling out" is inferior behavior

    Scaling in implied you go smaller first, right? That’s the way I interpret it. E.g. you want a 2% allocation and you start with 0.5%.

    Fair Value Gaps

    Among practitioners it’s typically seen as the gap between your equilibrium or pricing model vs. the market price. You’d use it to understand a new risk premia or see if it’s a legit trade you want to take risk on. It’s always interesting how phrases or words used on the street end up...

    It means the net weight of a single name might be less than 2% depending on what I need to do to hedge. The more volatile the position the more hedging it needs.

    "Scaling out" is inferior behavior

    Want to show me your source? I understand delta management to replicate the payoff of a call option, but you must define how much weight in your portfolio you’re willing to allocate to any one position in the first place. My position thresholds define that, and as portfolio mix ebbs and...

    "Scaling out" is inferior behavior

    I have weight thresholds in my portfolio. E.g. active risk on a trade is a 2% weight of gross. Can increase by 1% increments up to a max weight of 8%, though 5% is “high conviction”. I don’t change that weight threshold unless my thesis breaks. Weights change if conviction changes (typically...

    Do You Actually Enjoy Trading?

    I think there’s some confusion here. I didn’t say someone had to work as an investment banker, rather they just needed to cut their team at a firm within the investment industry. Bankers, traders, salespeople, etc., all fit within that. It’s very hard to develop a professional skill set...

    Do You Actually Enjoy Trading?

    (1) Trades for earnings (doesn’t sell books or courses or media) (2) generates excess returns relative to a benchmark of the asset or strategy they trade (3) does so in a way that is repeatable and not from luck (e.g. 25%+ of their net worth comes from long calls they bought at the bottom — this...
