Back on April 1st, I declared that I had given up on MongoDB (MDB). I’d like to pretend this was an April Fool’s joke, but it wasn’t, and I knew in my heart that publishing such a thing would surely mark a top. It certainly did. The moment the market re-opened, MDB started slipping, and it hasn’t stopped.

Yesterday, I couldn’t take it anymore, so I got back in yesterday (as usual, August $250 puts). It’s pushed into profitability, and hopefully this time that gargantuan H&S top will actually express itself fully. The failure of the short-term trendline is an encouraging first step.

On a TOTALLY separate note, I want to discuss the “disappearing comments” bug for a moment. This has got to be the most elusive bug I’ve ever grappled with in my life. However, we think we’ve finally got it.
Now, I know how these things go. If it’s still an issue, people will piss and gripe and moan (especially if they pay $0 a month). If we nailed it, no one will say a word. Sort of like how we solved the Jannifer spam problem. Never a thank-you. Just silence. But, silence or not, I’m seriously hoping we’ve finally blasted this problem off the site.
