$QQQ: Trade Review - Either Way I Win We’re currently seeing two main forces driving the market. On one hand, earnings are solid and momentum is very strong as we see a historic run in tech. On the other hand, the situation with Iran doesn’t seem close to being resolved. At the start of last week, I said a small pullback was likely after markets had gone parabolic. I was clearly wrong on that call-you cant argue with price . But because of how I structure my trades around my views, I still make money-as long as I’m not wrong about a major correction. This is exactly why I don’t believe in traditional hedging. The only hedges I find useful are more creative tools like $VIX exposure or ratio spreads. I use ratio spreads when I see a reasonable probability of a shallow drawdown. I use $VIX when I believe there’s risk the market is not pricing in-when volatility is cheap and asymmetry is attractive. There’s no straightforward way to hedge a portfolio that is consistently beneficial, in my view. You have to hedge what you believe is actually coming. So yes, I made the wrong call in terms of timing-I expected a shallow drawdown and suggested a ratio spread. But since it was opened almost for zero cost, it’s still profitable. And if we do get a pullback this week, it could become VERY profitable. Either way, I win.



Went to $POET's Toronto HQ in person today Address: 120 Eglinton Ave East $POET is on the 11th floor, Suite 1107 Couldn't get up 11th floor requires an access code So I messaged a lash studio on the same floor Just a few doors down from $POET Their reply: "we are not open and not doing business" "the business is no longer operating" Google Maps shows them with 5-star reviews Looks like an active business Reality: the entire 11th floor is quietly emptying out I have more on-the-ground research coming Stay tuned 今天我亲自去了 $POET 多伦多总部 地址:120 Eglinton Ave East $POET 在11楼,suite 1107 我上不去 11楼需要access code 我给同楼层一家美妆店发了消息 就在 $POET 隔壁几个房间 对方回复: "we are not open and not doing business" "the business is no longer operating" 整层楼很多business正在大规模空置




$AAPL is the only laggard in the monster move in the Mag 7; I think it will outperform the rest in the near future.
