Can’t wait for the AI bubble to burst so I can maybe finally upgrade my 3060 Also, what a great business model: borrow money at 15% to buy GPUs here

Small caps are dead, so we’re live-testing new strategies. One thing to always remember: number of bets >>> expected EV per bet

I know everyone avoided $AIOK, but it’s funny how there were somehow plenty of locates available despite the allegedly 1.11M float (traded 17M+ by now)

I was genuinely worried when I saw everyone in small caps doing the same thing in such a limited market cap/float environment. Many thought I was just whining, but I expected a series of broker or clearing firm blowups to eventually bring the whole thing down. Instead, other factors forced locate providers and brokers to cut supply, making borrows either unavailable or prohibitively expensive. Feels like we’re back five years in SCs, at least for me. Thankfully, I spent the last year developing other niches, and they’re printing now.

Pretty wild how calm and sunny the market looks when you're not caught up in the ai trade. Just look at Berkshire $BRK.B

Anyone managed to get reasonably priced locates on $RBNE today? Feels like anything that fades this hard costs 10%+ to borrow these days. And paying that still doesn’t guarantee you won’t get squeezed 1,000%…

$SPCX to the Mars!!! 🚀 Literally went full margin long across all trading accounts. Recently realized I've been trading earnings completely wrong. Super excited to build new infrastructure around a whole new set of earnings strategies. This trade was pure discretion btw, but driven by research I've been doing in completely different setups. Feels like a whole new world.

Huge reversals across the AI trade today. Probably traded 20+ names, too many to mention. Days like this remind me how much better the risk/reward can be in large caps compared to the small-cap rig fests, if you're patient. Yet somehow, when I post about one random chinese rig, it gets 10x the attention. Took some speculative positions off. Holding the growth/value names for the long term, stops at breakeven. $IREN $SOXL $KORU $SNDK $AVGO $TSM

$TLT bounce playing out nicely. Semis next? $SMH $SOXL
Are we buying the $TLT panic if this accelerates here? If so, what's the best way to execute it? $TLT calls, $TMF, or Treasury futures etc?

Interesting conditions in small-cap shorting right now. Crazy squeezes in rigged China names every day and insanely expensive locates. Usually, we only had one of those at a time. Which can only mean one thing: we need more people to blow up, give up, or size down before conditions improve. Unfortunately, all the big players seem smart and disciplined these days, so this might take a while. $JBDI $WFF $FLYE

$WFF so I guess all the scams and games have moved to RTH for now.
