Right tail trades are some of the best trades I’ve ever had in my career - even dating back to 2011. They don’t always pan out but when they do on a day like today they pan out so big that it makes up massive P&L gains.
What’s interesting is that once you learn this almost every other trade you take has to have asymmetry or it’s just not worth it which becomes a filter in the idea gen process.
Take for example small cap dilution shorts - the backside is capped but people still hammer it — id rather (and have been) take the front side where you get asymmetry.
Same goes for value and distressed investing; when most things look like shit is usually when you get the 3/4 baggers and that’s where the money is.

This was from last week per Citadel regarding retail call buying - whether people believe it or not - the retail side, indexers and tourists only know one trade; buy the dip - further they only know AI — if you ask 10 investors their views on $ATRO or $SWK you get maybe 1 answer.
Ask 10 about $NVDA or $INTC and you get yapping on all 10.
This market is pretty good for tails right now (on both sides) $MU $AMD --- pretty much any semi name that boomers and the rest of the NPCs get into.
The dip buying bullshit creates the left tail (because they all go hard) and then when theres a fire and rush for the exits they panic and sell.
Either way, long/short - all the same when you have clowns in the casino.

The best thing about the semis/chip trade is all you momo riders get on your podcasts/X lives and talk about the AI revolution but nobody ever talks about market dynamics - ie, everyone and their mother crowded into the same 7 stocks.
Worse, you could look at a chart, on any of them, and see they're bearish but some of you are too "sophisticated" to do that.
Sucks to suck.

$INTC smoked. Needs to flush down to low $60s - all the tourists who FOMO bought need to puke it up tomorrow and Monday then should be good for a long-term hold here into all of 2027.
Got short $INTC again - think we should be back in the mid to high $60s on this, if we can close this week below $112 then that's ideal.
