I usually am the last to know when there is a holiday. I often find out the hard way because the Montreal Derivatives Exchange likes to find any and every stupid reason possible to shut down the exchange. This leaves me to wonder why the fuck my options chain is not updating for the first half...

Jim Simons tried the NDA act at Renaissance. And even THERE it didn't work. Basically impossible to enforce when employees leave off to start their own hedge funds and steal the same trading exploitations. There were lots of different legal tricks he used to protect against this, but in the end...

Monero... that old currency that had all these hopes and promises and just never gets anywhere...

Maybe he can turn the tables somehow, and follow what worked for the current minister? Like making a speech in front of a women's studies room full of feminists and telling them how he's going to ban the province name 'MANitoba' because he doesn't like that term, and prefers to use 'PEOPLEitoba'...

Haw! I have for a while wanted to own equity of Holiday Inn because I'm just a sucker for it. But... they are not exactly public themselves. That said, they are part of the InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (IHG) brand. I still need to do some more analysis before I begin to buying up the...

That bet on PayPal... look at the bubble that popped. Now that it's selling at cheaper than pre-covid prices I don't have issues on trading it. Funny thing, despite Nasdaq went up today, PayPal still fell again because of board members jumping ship to places like Walmart.

Oh and while we are on that topic.... Both me and Niederhoffer have something similar to say about those ridiculous self-published books written by those self-proclaimed day-trading gurus: Yes, I keep posting this meme now and then, because so many young & dumb millennials just refuse to...

I wonder if LTCM still considers this a 10-sigma event. :sneaky:

I just can't stop laughing when I see people falling for these course peddlers. Just stop for a minute and think logically. Imagine a REAL LEGIT trader/investor like Soros, or Dalio spending all day in a bedroom somewhere trying to get as many people to sign up to their trading-courses...

Well in that case, people are worried over high-interest rates for nothing. :sneaky:

I spent part of last week at Holiday Inn, and sold some more puts while tech wasn't looking so great. Had a great time and enjoyed the rain. Also, I also shorted more PUTs today as well.

Dr Burry thinks Bitcoin is a bubble? From what I recall, he only gave warnings of the immense leverage which could lead to a catastrophic downswing (and this is a legit argument). Tether pretty much is the match-stick that may bring the great-fall. But how do you time it? That said, too many...

eliteinvestor.com Out of curiosity, I checked out the URL earlier. Sure enough, it exists and some guy is peddling his wares there. :D

The survivors of the millennial-retail investor/traders are still doubling, tripling, and quintupling down on ARKK. But there isn't that much dumb-money left to go around this time...

Haw! I assume the publisher gave rights to this new author to continue with the Andromeda series. I still remember the 'movie' from the original book. I was a weeee little boy when I first saw it, and even THEN the movie was old. Then one day when I was into Crichton novels I realized early on...

Ahahahaha!

Just curious what the majority here wishes for. All day I've been watching the screen as BTC fails to fall below 40K while ETH can't fall past 3K. At least there is a nice discount going on. The majority of 'investors' only want things to go up... but despite I'm long I still want to see this...

You COULD, but you'd have to buy at elevated premiums, and how are you going to get the timing right? What if it's another bluechip-to-enron?
