This Will Get Worse: The Crypto Event I’m Hosting (And A Stock Market Note)
Markets got ugly again today. I covered quite a few shorts and bough a little more TWTR (and some TWTR calls dated out a month or two, 10-20% out-of-the-money strike prices) in the hedge fund.

Facebook, Meta And The Popping Of The Bubble-Blowing Bull Market
Facebook’s stock is getting slammed today, losing almost 1/4 of what it was worth yesterday and back to where it was one year ago when I was really liking the valuation and set up. I think it’s going to be a good buy around these levels, but we might need to let it wash out […]
