Paradise Lost

There are plenty of things I like about a market like the one we are in right now, which is one of unchecked pandemonium.

There’s the profits, of course. It’s really gratifying to see my assets grow so swiftly.

The vindication of being right feels good, naturally. Having virtually every single prediction unfold as reality so swiftly is like a tall drink of water in the desert compared to the past nine years. I have 73 different short positions, and every last one of them is in the green (some of them massively so).

And since my trading life is tied directly to my little business, I get “icing on the cake” by having subscriptions to Slope PLUS go roaring higher.

What A Day…..

……..for me to be sick! I’m truly not feeling 100%, folks, and I wish I was. These are the kinds of days I live for (although, weirdly, I took stock of my emotions, and I wasn’t at all happy………so I think I’m committed to being a total sad sack, no matter WHAT my portfolio is doing. I suck!)

Anyway, after the Apple/Amazon earnings orgasm (see circle), the NASDAQ has been showing no love to its zealots.

I came into the day with 57 short positions, and every single one is profitable (some of them obscenely so). I just sent out this post to my PLUS members celebrating a tremendous trading victory. For those of you who have financially benefited from my hard work here, I would encourage you to join Slope PLUS. Members make this place possible!
