ha, no you are right Sufjan ... but this is of course thing ... the way to make money is trade both sides ... not be some cheerleader... yeah man I made a mint on AMT .. check that long out... but I short the shit out of this economy that was always teetering on the brink of an exogenous event that wouldd finally bring the multiples down to earth ... something that is realistic

El Tomboto, Thursday, 19 March 2020 03:39 (four years ago) link

yeah it is a "thing" el tomboto ... to trade both sides

Short The Market - Peter Gabriel

sorry for butt rockin (Neanderthal), Thursday, 19 March 2020 03:43 (four years ago) link

for my family, "el tomboto" what i did was short the SPX
very easy thing to do. well, you have to have a margin account.
i hope you all have margin accounts. or maybe you listen to "yerac" for investment advice lol

Chief Kyiv, Thursday, 19 March 2020 03:45 (four years ago) link

I short the market
But I did not short the SPX

sorry for butt rockin (Neanderthal), Thursday, 19 March 2020 03:46 (four years ago) link

iirc you have to provide proof of a margin account when signing up for ilx

El Tomboto, Thursday, 19 March 2020 03:49 (four years ago) link

I photocopied someone else's, shh, don't tell the mods

sorry for butt rockin (Neanderthal), Thursday, 19 March 2020 03:49 (four years ago) link

I hope you and your family are very happy with the proceeds from your investment strategy, CK. But somehow you must have missed the fact that it is possible to 'provide for one's family' in many ways other than shorting the equities market. Even though you must be thrilled with your gains atm, trading on margin is a risky business that shouldn't be accepted by anyone who isn't willing to lose money in a big way.

As the [insert appropriate group reference here] say: you do you.

Yes, Aimless ... and I respect you as a poster....
but I have balls and that is why I take the risk , gladly
We have one shot in this life... we have to take it when we see it .... my god I have been waiting for these multiples to come back down to 1970's levels my entire life...
trade of a lifetime , my friend. Trade of a lifetime

Chief Kyiv, Thursday, 19 March 2020 04:02 (four years ago) link

I bet your family loves you and thinks you’re well-adjusted

silby, Thursday, 19 March 2020 04:03 (four years ago) link

hey know offense Silby, but you have to get my perspective
We TRADE the market. It doesn;t matter if it goes up or down

Chief Kyiv, Thursday, 19 March 2020 04:07 (four years ago) link

I don;t root against I guess "american society" haha i just wake up in the morning and trade the markets.
it is what it is

Chief Kyiv, Thursday, 19 March 2020 04:08 (four years ago) link

It doesn't matter if it goes up or down? I don't get it

whatever

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 19 March 2020 04:14 (four years ago) link

Dan, it doesn't matter if "it goes up or down" from the perspective of a guy who just rides the wave.
That is what I am getting at.
Go up. Go down. I don;t give a shit. Need to be on the right side, though

Chief Kyiv, Thursday, 19 March 2020 04:14 (four years ago) link

What are your other useful skills

silby, Thursday, 19 March 2020 04:15 (four years ago) link

you are on a level way beyond me

I'm just worried that my retirement will be entirely fucked

Dan S, Thursday, 19 March 2020 04:17 (four years ago) link

well I am really into music, Silby. can you believe I was into Nirvana before you? I saw them at the Blind Pig in 1999 and I also roadied for Mountain Goats and Alastair Galbraith and now I have of course outed myself

Chief Kyiv, Thursday, 19 March 2020 04:18 (four years ago) link

Hmmmmm.

silby, Thursday, 19 March 2020 04:23 (four years ago) link

chief kyiv was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van
A sparkle was in his eye
But his life was in his hands
Well, late at night when the people were gone
He used to log into e*trade
And short stocks like the SPX
and post about it on a message board
*beh bewda bew buh beh*
tonight's the night
tonight's the nigh-high-high-hight

Chief Kyiv is a troll

Dan S, Thursday, 19 March 2020 05:14 (four years ago) link

In what goddamn way? I actually do legit love this Rush documentary and I wish I could post the whole thing with Ned's contributions. I also want people to manage their money properly . Not trolly at all , i wouldn;t think?

Chief Kyiv, Thursday, 19 March 2020 05:20 (four years ago) link

yeah not buying it

Dan S, Thursday, 19 March 2020 05:32 (four years ago) link

forever in debt to your priceless advice

latin hypercube in shitspace (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 19 March 2020 05:35 (four years ago) link

OK.
Rush is one of my fave bands of all time and Ned does a great job repping them on the documentary.
Which I guess I can't unfortunately post the full link to.
I also think everybody was stupid to be long this market.... If that makes me a "troll" ..i guess so
god people. We need to smart about our money. This was bound to happen. I don't know what to tell you if it makes me a "troll" to highlight extreme multiples
I mean absolutely bonkers multiples. Fine.

Chief Kyiv, Thursday, 19 March 2020 05:39 (four years ago) link

How many people are in your family

silby, Thursday, 19 March 2020 05:44 (four years ago) link

Past performance does not predict future returns, to quote the legal boilerplate.
