I bought the market today heavily. I bought UWM, QLD, and QLD October 49 calls (bought them early and I bought the strike I didn’t want). I bought the calls in a frenzy lining up other trades and realized I got the strike I didn’t want, but I’m sure its going to be fine because [...]

SNTS position went from being positive [...]

Not really anything related to what I do here, but I saw Becky Quick ask the BVLGARI CEO about their new store opening in Japan. “Why Ginza?“, Quick says. The BVLGARI CEO smirked and kinda laughed then explained that anyone who is anyone in fine goods has to be in Ginza as it is the [...]

So you’re tired of always being long and want to short the market?
How do you do it without borrowing shares? Easily. You buy the appropriate vehicles long. Which is actually a bet that the market will go down. Let me explain. There are investment options that you can buy long that represent an investment that [...]
