Three Days In
We’re just three trading days into 2026, and I gotta tell ya, I am having zero fun so far. Zilch! No one but me should care, but I’ve been all thumbs so far this year. The only “trade” that is working for me is my cache of silver and gold bullion, and the only reason I’ve been smart enough to hold on to that is because it’s too clumsy and inconvenient to get rid of it. Otherwise, I’ve been moping all year long.
I’m also potentially even more mopey since the /NQ is potentially configured for a breakout (since, ya know, it’s so cheap and all). Given this maelstrom, I have over the course of the past week plunged from 37 positions to only 18, and with only 60% exposure right now. Yuck.
Tesla Tantrum
Jeez, what’s with Tesla? In this new-highs-every-day market of ours, this thing has tumbled about 14% since hitting lifetime highs just a couple of weeks back. I saw some chatter about how they were faking their Optimus robots or something, but this is quite a fall from grace for a company in the thick of the most insane tech bull market in history.
Revenge of Cable Cutters?
Big Swinging Sandisk
