I know, I know. I used that title before, but it’s so good, I’m going to use it again. Anyway, back on July 15th, I suggested Humana (HUM) as a short, since it had filled its gap so nicely.
I’d say it worked out, eh?
Oh, the Humana-ity!

Beating the Bus
One Country Worked Out
On Monday, well in advance of this week’s absolutely insanity, I suggested going short Brazil by way of EWZ. I’m pleased to say, in spite of all the lifetime highs everywhere we look, this worked out great.
The Oscar Goes To…….
I first mentioned Oscar Health (OSCR) in February, and I’ve done about ten posts about it this year. It continues to do nicely, and on a day like this, I don’t even want to THINK about any shorts.
Perpetual Follow-Up
At the start of this month, I did this post which set about on an experiment. Specifically, I wanted to see if I put $10,000 into 25 historically very bullish stocks (what I call perma-risers) how they would do.
Well, the results are oddly satisfying, because so far, a couple of weeks into this experiment, they haven’t done a THING. Indeed, with the Dow at lifetime highs today, this portfolio is actually down about 0.5%. I think this simply illustrates, with a near-even split of winners and losers, and a net loss, that the breadth of this “bull” market absolutely stinks.
