Shake ‘n’ Bake

By -

Since the latest lies and B.S. from the White House sent stocks into the stratosphere, I have spent the morning (checks notes………) shorting like a sumbitch. The cool thing is that, as I’m typing this, the /ES and /NQ are up hundreds of points, and my 100% short portfolio is UP. Take THAT, Bessent! You’re my Power Bottom now, baby!

Of course, the Trump-worshipping, Goldman-Sachs-worshipping dorks at Zerohedge have been cheering on this rally right from the get-go. God, these guys make me want to vomit.

In any case, today so far has consisted of:

  1. Frantically covering shorts and dumping puts, mostly to my detriment;
  2. Taking good profits in GDX and GLD;
  3. Shorting, as stated above, like a sumbitch.

I have four portfolios, and overall, my commitment level is back up to 143%, with one in particular being at an eye-popping 275%. Yikes!
