@yenoms seems low to me but i am a cheap yield hog.

BDC debt becoming cool again.. sanity returning.. sec.gov/Archives/edgar…

@Seniorstrategen It looks over extended short term.. what a rip higher. It will turn at some point. Maybe lead the market lower

Took a small short in SMH AM at 282

@yenoms I was happy when tpg took the big write down first while everyone else pretended like their portfolios would be fine or worked out so they did slow cuts.

Now down 16.5% mREIT yield hogs finally taking note and doing their thing 60% cut is truly remarkable.. shows the issues they have esp life science… but makes for a good setup longer term.. KKR might favor paying themselves first but also not investment idiots

Ohhh and a large divvy cut it was 🫣🫣. 25 cents to 10! Feels like it should be down more.. I’ll likely be buying the dip but waiting for mas carnage..

@iBladesi Always bet on the folks who make the fees in almost any circumstance. They always come out on top.

it was a doozy even before this drop. before thinking about buying a permanent capital vehicle.. externally managed.. maybe check out the manager first. You can also do this with ARES vs any of their public funds

@DeepDishEnjoyer you get what you pay for.. hopefully not.. they respect alcohol more than water in that area of the world

any bets if ryanair will shatter all my wine bottles in my checked ortlieb pannier

@yenoms I think I own a tiny amount. Figured it was fairly bombed out already. I certainly own a bunch of the preferred. Doing what they must.

So did we agree to let the oil flow and only stop armaments? What is a good explanation for this

NLY q1 bvps 19.82 (well above what I thought!) vs 20.21 prior. EAD 76c. Agency strat is now 56% of capital as MSR and credit are increased. lev 7.3x.. Raised 509m thru ATM for the qtr.

@iBladesi @shortbus_ace That’s what I said about my beenie babies…

@shortbus_ace This is amazing. inflation protected winery.. or something

my girlfriend thinks I have a problem ordering too much wine. she doesn’t understand that the actual problem is I just never drink any of it. up to 107 bottles 🤣🤣

@blondesnmoney @Arya__Deniz Short $bus was already taken…

Short $CAR

@Seniorstrategen That was fast. I would have thought you were going to hold it for awhile. We are fairly overbought but the trend is obviously up up. A profit is a profit.

Closed my short on the fut open. Now i just watch price action

@michaellistman I’m betting that money goes right back into making weapons & making the world less safe. Trump needs this to end. It’s an albatross. It’s becoming a problem with downside & less upside. So he might accept a bad deal. Israel will be in a bind. So instead, short bad deal to end.

Oh it's a shit show, and I'll take any exit we can get. But I can't help but notice how those who bitched about $1.7bn sent to Iran by Dems will suddenly praise $20bn given to Iran by the GOP 🤡 I'll also say that as much as the Dems are harping on Trump blockading the straight, it was exactly what I proposed long before as the only way out of this mess. Both "sides" suck but only 1 is pulling strings at this moment in time.

So the Obama admin paid Iran $1.7bn due a legal decision from the Hague (which enrages so many). Now Trump is proposing to pay Iran $20bn (~12x more) for a little bit of Uranium (400kg of Uranium that goes for $250/kg) Is that just a massive gift (it's not a court decision this time)? Or does Uranium really cost $49,999,750 per kg to enrich? 🤔 I don't know enough to determine the answer 🤷‍♂️ Nuclear Fuel Cost calculator share.google/TjbR5k6uS8whgR…

@michaellistman Agree with you. Huge hypocrites on all sides here. Politics has become about winning points with your base vs what’s best for the country, governing, finding a healthy middle ground based in truth & reality. They will say, I misspoke or was misquoted or taken out of context etc.

@michaellistman Agree. Cut off the money. Unfortunately the Chinese are saying, no. That’s ours. We need it. We will not allow this, as they can’t.. which is something I didn’t consider before. Adds complexity to the whole thing. But agree with you. Cut the money, if possible.

@yenoms From personal experience it hurts both ways.. I think ai has a long run way, many many decades. When do the stocks peak? No one ever knows. Until after.

lol.. this very true But on the other hand.. I rather miss out on it than being late to the party and getting rugged. My feeling of stupidity from losses would be greater than joys from gains.

@Seniorstrategen @bootsiejones Saw it. Didn’t understand what it was but made note of it & won’t forget it for future. Was impressive call when everyone else calling for further Armageddon.

@bootsiejones Thx Bootsie. I only posted about Wyckoff reaccumulation because I saw what London dealers and market makers were doing. We stay humble when things go our ways. Have a good weekend

If anyone out there has made any money following my feed I expect them to show class and humility. To become a good trader you need to handle your emotions and show the content of character

@michaellistman We stepped into a messy, very long & complicated situation with very very short term outcomes to be required. Higher oil prices bad for summer & midterms, china/Europe as well. Can’t expect great things short term but I hope so.. Iran will think much longer & smarter then we can
