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

for my family, "el tomboto" what i did was short the SPXvery 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 lolhttps://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=SPX&insttype=Index

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.

If that makes me a "troll" ..i guess sogod 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 multiplesI mean absolutely bonkers multiples. Fine.
