Joined Twitter on March 5, 2011. Regretted it on March 6, 2011. Could crush it in the market, but it's much more gratifying writing about it.

Wild market. We haven't seen anything like this since the dotcom bubble burst. Over the last 8 sessions, 115 stocks in the S&P 500 have decline 7% or more in a single day. The average drawdown when that happens is 34%. Right now we're 1.5% below the all-time high.

If nothing else, Mamadani was worth voting for just to elicit reactions like this

Actual convo last week... Me: Honey, we can't have a third of our retirement wrapped up in $ORCL stock. Dumb. Way too risky. My wife: You sure about that? Me: Sorry, just sold. I'm a pro. You'll thank me later. (Technically, it IS later. No thank you, though)

Caught @TonyHinchcliffe and @joerogan at the Mothership last night. What I could see through the 10-gallon hat blocking the view anyway. Show was great, but the crowd? The Facebook comments section brought to life. “Lock up Fauci!” “Build the wall.” Consider this a PSA.

Tracks. My mom loves telling me all about how Elon Musk keeps sliding into her DMs.
Still falling for the ol' Nigerian prince scam? Apparently so, considering that cyber crooks, using some rather low-tech scams, made off with $16B last year, per a report from the @FBI this week: https://t.co/95BzwPmZzg

"What we're facing is potentially comparable to Thatcher's first 2 years as PM [when] the U.K. experienced one of the deepest recessions since WWII. That's the kind of economic pain we could be talking about here, but potentially on an even larger scale"
He says he's mostly optimistic about the U.S. #economy, but you wouldn't know it from some of the points he makes in this compelling interview:

Should the S&P 500 finish February higher, that would mean stocks gained in both Jan and Feb. Rest of year? Higher 93.1% of the time and up 12.3% on avg. Full year up nearly 20% on avg. Wouldn't that drive the permabears mad?

If something tragic should ever befall me on the #golf course, just know that I died doing something I really hate.

We can finally put this ugly chapter in American history behind us. Thanks, Google Maps! 🙄

Google Maps will change the name of "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" once it is officially updated in the U.S. Geographic Names System, Google said in an X post on Monday.

First: Should be illegal regardless. Second: But would be more meaningful to put these numbers up against stockpickers, in general.
🚨BREAKING🚨 I just released the full report on Congress trading in 2024. Like every year since 2020, some US politicians beat the market. From the start of 2024 to year end, many had unusual trades & huge portfolio gains. Here are the top political traders of 2024.
