I dunno but this recent drop was fairly deep with IWM getting whacked 30% and QQQ off 26% and I'm disappointed NTDOY didn't drop further to $14 and PM sold off little, both from record highs Probably means good prospects and outperformance vs the market for PM and NTDOY in the coming years

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/12/trump-exempts-phones-computers-chips-tariffs-apple-dell.html still long nasdaq futures haha yes

Bought some S&P 500 futures cuz I sat there like a moron and didn't buy at 4900

I bought the MacBook Air M4 recently - assembled in Vietnam!

Asian countries in Southeast Asia and Japan and south Korea probably gain - they had all kinds of industry move away to China and some of that stuff may be coming back

yea, When Trump went 104% and China struck back with 84%, in the past my NQ position would have gotten cracked -500 points but it held around 17000 anyway hopefully NQ grinds up to 20k!

yea that sounds right, it's gonna continue to grind higher with guys coming later to get in on the action

Vertical baby haha yes

speaking of bear markets, I remember like yesterday in Jan 2001, when my homeboy Greenspan did a surprise interest rate cut i was in MMC at the time, insurance company Marsh McLennan. Out of nowhere everything went vertical, green candle through the top of the monitor kinda vertical, everything going crazy MMC went off for something like 20 points I think and I got a good chunk of it. And I got it without doing crazy amounts of research, reading books and industry reports like them value investor nerds, who are furiously typing with furrow brows on some Internet forum regarding competitive advantages or industry regulations I learned a valuable lesson that day my friends - better to be lucky than good baby, better to be lucky than good Haha

I always wondered who went long at SPX 666. Maybe it was you! haha

Oh man it would be so cool if NQ hits 20000 this week that would be totally awesome

years ago I was watching late night television and this ad came up for this thing called Potty Putter, which allows you to practice your putting while you're sitting on the toilet taking a dump I am proud to say that I ordered one, but got a response saying they don't have one in stock That's America baby, and I have no problem with Chinese dudes making my Potty Putter Haha

you right man, sometimes I go back and read my journal entries around the time of SPX 666 in March 2009 now THAT was a bear market, total demoralization bear market

Well I went long NQ a bit ago today, small position here because -19% in 2 trading days and pre market, less than 3 trading days seemed to be getting a bit too stupid. Like, even dumber than some of my favorite Beavis and butthead episodes of course it could sell off more from here and if that happens I'll eat my loss

Bought small position in NQ futures here because hey, I'm looking for a good time so why not? I'm down for a good time haha

https://www.ft.com/content/8ba439ec-297c-4372-ba45-37e9d7fd1771 Hedge funds getting margin calls!

yea man from what I can tell those cowboys have a good time, a real good time on company money, in addition to compensation

that's fair but Goog may be decent here - Waymo is everywhere in Los Angeles bro, like everywhere

Spx is only like -13% YTD but buying quality stuff here is probably a good idea NTDOY didn't hit $14 today tho, dat sux

Year like this, the gamblers with options and futures can produce returns that make all them value investor funboys mad jelly! and it's only March! Haha

No bro, what matters is making the correct bets and then rubbing your winnings in the faces of those who said you were wrong, laffing in their faces haha

So a little bounce here into the summer and then a hard -20% YTD crack in SPX in the fall? That would be pretty cool haha

Maybe this year will be one of them years where if you eke out a 5% return, you're kicking almost everybody's ass

Maybe NTDOY is headed back to $14 haha

It feels like volatility may stay elevated throughout the year Should be good opportunities in futures and options for gamblers haha
