It's about analysing probabilities, being patient for opportunities, having the balls to ride a trend, and the guts to take losses quickly.

"I would say, as far as the Labour Party is concerned, Penny Mordaunt is their worst nightmare." @BenjaminButter Senior Reporter, @theipaper

their reaction was priceless

Just wait until he finds out about the processes for crude oil extraction and processing

This, out of #Ukraine, is 100% one of the most incredible videos I have ever seen. This Russian POW has the heart of a lion 🦁

There were genuinely people that thought taping off benches, taping off urinals, eating a scotch egg with a pint & a flimsy little plastic screen helped saved lives. For me that’s the sad part of all of this, these people could have been told anything & would have believed it.

⬇️ An important point. Chairman of Sage modellers presumes someone else in gvt is modelling the economic and social harm of a new lockdown. But no one is (and that’s not his fault). How can ministers decide how to “balance the harms” if they’re only given one side of the story?

🤡 @UKLabour writes another blank cheque to Govt for lockdown ⚖️ No attempt to balance wider impacts, focus only on Covid data/models 💉 Our most vulnerable are already protected by boosters, by choice 👍 🙋‍♂️ Good job there are Conservative backbenchers asking some questions

This explains a lot.

The black line & grey shading is SAGE forecasts for covid hospital admissions. The red line is REALITY. Boris loves grey. Can you tell me why?

If you do not have any respiratory symptoms, such as fever, cough, or runny nose, you do not need to wear a medical mask. When used alone, masks can give you a false feeling of protection and can even be a source of infection when not used correctly. ➡️ https://t.co/0nyHux1SgN

This notion of a "circuit breaker" is scientifically illiterate. It won't break coronavirus, but it will break jobs; delay more operations; delay cancer care. In short, what it will break is more people.

Wait until they find out about the other guy

Hospitals are not overwhelmed; most of us will be exposed anyway since we can’t sequester until there’s a vax; and we know which groups need protection from worst outcomes. Is the public health benefit from broad lockdowns at this point worth such extreme damage to livelihoods?

👌

5-8% seems likely. Personally think we have seen the lows now. Let’s see.

Dow roadmap - next few sessions?

I've lost track now of whether the majority believe we are going to test the lows or whether the majority just thinks the majority thinks that and believe we are going straight up in which case we are definitely going to test the lows just like the majority has always thought.
