Yet Another Victory Lap
Sorry to do this to you, but when I stumbled across oh-my-God incredible ideas I offered in the past, I have to share them. I have to have SOME way to compel people to, ya know, actually PAY me for my hard work 365 days a year. Anyway, the stock in question is Wayfair, which I fervently suggested as a short idea in a post from December 6 2021. As I describe it at the time, it was “at the cusp of breaking below a fantastically well-formed topping pattern.” Yeah, I’d say so……….arrow marks the sell spot:
Currency Superstar!
Who would’ve guessed it? The Ruble!!! Maybe there’s something to while whole “tie a currency to hard commodities” thing after all, huh?!?!?

This is glorious. Absolutely glorious. The evildoers are suffering and the innocent are thriving. The only trouble is, I have absolutely nothing to do. Nothing. Back to midget porn, I guess.
The Free Pen
As a content provider since I was a teenager, I have what I believe is a keen appreciation for freedom of the press and freedom of speech. Particularly when you’re someone as opinionated as me, it’s vitally important, and frankly, I didn’t really appreciate it enough until my visit to Thailand. Nothing bad happened to me, but even being TOLD that saying anything bad about their philandering, useless king could land a person in prison made me absolutely sick. I don’t quite understand why the U.S. is considered to be not-very-free in the map below, but suffice it to say I am grateful – – grateful to the heavens above!!! – – that I live in a country where I can express myself without fear.
