Cleared out a bunch of PCYO, TRC, MMM, ALEX

Like oh poor baby. How awful that he was put at gunpoint and forced to go on TV and Twitter and make all these claims….half these guys ask to go on TV specifically to talk up their “new idea”.

It’s not hard at all! LOL when you take an option position or a substantial equity position, then publicly promote your position, especially with a price target, and then monetize that position on no fundamental change to the thesis, that’s pretty fuckin easy and clear. Is something like this hard? Jan 8 buy options on xyz Jan 9 go on tv and tweet about xyz being worth 5x its current price Jan 9/10/11 liquidate substantial majority of position Fucks sake.

It really just comes down to intent which is the case with most laws and regulations. The issue is you’d never get an honest answer from most of these ethic-less weasels. But the intent almost always is to say something to move the market and then cover as soon as possible. Thats not investing its market manipulation.

It’s like all these guys who wrap their presentations in myriad “fraud” and “bankrupt” or “criminal” accusations, but then solely for ass covering purposes start it all with “we believe”…they want the easy money but don’t actually want to stand behind their work.

If your intent is to manipulate the price and your actions confirm that, why should you be able to hide behind stupid disclaimers?

Well the key difference with say, Elon, is that he’s not tweeting something or putting out reports, and then almost immediately trading against what he put out. That’s conman behavior. But these guys call it “risk management” or “seeing if the market agrees with our research” lol.

Yup. Notice how smash and grab specialist Mr. Block has been focusing more on non US listed companies? The weasels are definitely worried.

Speak for yourselves. The 2066 Pupilbonds I own(the only bonds I really own) have smashed it. Something like 78 to 98 with a 9% coupon.

Yea I did notice a few weeks ago this weird glitch at the height of the lockout where everyones username was displaying their real names. Lotta Indians here LOL

Pullbacks and corrections are devastating. What can I say?

All I know is that the people who fixated on bonds have nothing to show for their efforts the past few years, and I'll gander it continues to be a total waste of time fixating on this space.

You travel a lot for work no? That would explain the different addresses

Yea this is so true and really the hardest thing I see for most market participants is truly internalizing business ownership through equity. With small potatoes people just see daily quotes and play the up or down game. You ultimately just wanna find a suitable home for your money. Identifying characteristics of good places is a crucial aspect of the pattern recognition necessary for successful investment. You look at all the greats, from Buffett to Ackman, and everyone else, theres common threads between all their home runs.

I remember when they told us Trump was unfit for office and then proceeded to lie to us for 3+ years about the mental state of his vegetable replacement. Imagine Biden at a NATO meeting?

Interest rates should be lower and the rest of the world is already headed there. Powell has been a totally lost and confused POS the whole time. He has everything he needs to cut and yet cant seem to do anything so he keeps reverting to this "needs more confidence" copout. We've had like 20+ months of straight declines. No real evidence of continued inflation despite some loudmouthed wailing because for a month or two it wasnt "straight down"...yet, "we need to see more progress" LOL. He has consistently, despite "wanting to see more evidence", ignored the evidence and changed his "metric" to continue perpetuating a story of "persistent and sticky" inflation. He's totally bungled the housing related data, over emphasized abstract academic theories like wage/price spirals, and focused on lagging or unrelated data. Cant wait til he's fired.

Yup. How much money do you think this dirtbag made the last few years?

The clownshow continues. Just looks like we upped the "target" 750 points from a year or two ago... https://nypost.com/2024/07/02/business/us-headed-for-a-deep-recession-stocks-could-fall-30-analyst-warns/

Added more deo

FRPH. Dont know what the deal is, but it often has these sorta last minute seizures on triple/quad witching days. Ill take it.

LOL yea been having a few of those moments with people last month or so. "What do you think are good AI investments?"..."how come we dont own NVDA?"..."do you think we should look at some tech stocks"....and its so pleasing to just dismissively answer....No, nope, nothing, not interested, thanks!

Explains why he was always desperately trying to move stocks on Twitter and TV. But this is WS. He clearly prioritized the “business benefits” of having a unique product, even if it sucked, versus actually just trying to make money.

LOL #respectabletrackrecord

I heard all you need to do is follow the science and wear a mask!
