One of my mottos as a news trader: "I am an envoy. I take what is offered." Sometimes what is offered is 30% below what I paid but I gotta take it anyway and move on to the next trade. Likewise, I mustn't get shy about moving the market 10% if I'm expecting a 25% move.

New logo, who dis?

Claude Code Max ($100/month) with Opus 4.6 now includes 1m token context window. I guess that is one more reason to upgrade. Word is that the quality of the reasoning degrades as more of the window is used though. Still, 10x bigger than previous context window www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/c...

Anyone know a good source of PR newswires access through an API? Preferably one with websocket connection and not a REST API. No, I do not have it in me to pay for a Bloomberg. My Claude is hungry and I must feed him.

Trump suspending the Jones act does nothing and the oil market saw right through it.

Hit my Claude Code limit and no day-trades on so I guess it's time to write some erotica for 30 minutes. FYI I bought #$TRIP at $9.81 for the potential Fork and other sales. Bought #$USO yesterday at $101.54 as a TOFU trade.

Working on my taxes and ran the numbers on my Cobra Trading account through Tradelog's performance reports. Q: What is your thought on seeing these trading stats? ... ... ... A: Get bigger Too bad my main strategies are extremely illiquid (although I wouldn't have the edge in liquid stocks).

The West has become weak because it is run by nepo babies. by Mojtaba Khamenei

Guess who's going algorithmic? This will just be for a couple news strategies to get me in quicker and I will manage myself. Let's see how much fun I can have by vibe coding an algo!

I cannot take someone (Citrini) seriously if they treat Trump like this. This is not how Trump thinks. Maybe somone that thinks that way was able to convince him. Still, that ignores the whole point that the US doesn't have to do buy or invade to exert some control over Greenland: they're our ally.

Another day, another China scam dump Notice the big volume prior to the halt down. There was no news or filing prior to the drop. This is #$SMJF (SMJ International), which IPO'd 2 months ago at $4.00

This is your friendly reminder that while TWR does not have the problems of IRR, it will show unrealistic returns to unscalable strategies (like my trading). +125,000% since 2007 or so sounds nice but I absolutely could not have compounded my capital; instead I withdraw numerous times every year.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF MICHAEL GOODE ON FINDING HIMSELF IN THE EPSTEIN FILES FUCK SEX CRIMINALS. TURN AWAY FROM EVIL. IF YOU ARE A SEX-OBSESSED PERVERT YOU CAN DO SO WITH OTHER CONSENTING ADULTS AND THAT IS REALLY GREAT. Also, it was a different Michael Goode working for the US Government.

Here's a couple less common cocktails with Licor 43 that I liked. - Camparajillo 1 oz Licor 43 1 oz Campari 1 oz espresso Shake and strain into a coupe. Orange peel.

@gilman.bsky.social any cocktails you like that use Licor 43? I'm trying to surprise a friend who loves that with something she hasn't had before.

#$TCGL Tech Create Group, another China pump and dump, gets an SEC suspensions this morning. "because of potential manipulation in the securities of TCGL effectuated through recommendations made to investors by unknown persons via social media to purchase ..." www.sec.gov/files/litiga...

OMG why does IB even have their dumb price caps in the overnight market?

American Rebel #$AREB, a shitco's shitco, is doing a 1 for 20 reverse split Monday. They have a neat (stupid) provision where those with 100 shares will keep 100 shares. So if you buy tomorrow and sell Monday you can make 19x your money!* So stupid to dliute other holders for this.

So let's say you have reliable information (not known by market but not MNPI) that something very bad has a 75% chance of happening to a public company next week. If that bad thing happens the stock will drop 50% to 70%. Your info is very, very strong but not perfect.

All I'm asking is for someone to make a true 4-way stretch silk woven fabric (with 6% to 8% elastane on both the warp and weft).

I call it the iUpskirt! Perverts everywhere will appreciate it. Just stick one on your foot and easy upskirts videos and photos in the summer. || This is not legal or moral advice. This is topological advice.

India has 2x the weight in MSCI World vs. Latam, despite 60% of the GDP, largely due to valuation differentials

First ever unofficial Chicago FinSky meetup this coming Saturday at 8:30pm near the Sofitel. First 2 rounds of drinks on me. DM to RSVP.

2025 GoodeTrades Trading Review: 1. Holy shit I'm a bad trader. I lost money shorting Nasdaq microcap gappers last year (a great niche; only 11 trades) 2. I am good at finding tiny little niches that are insane easy, eg, one strat has 77% win rate, 31% avg win, -12% avg loss, -8.4% avg MAE on wins.

LLM coding agents are getting scary good

in your 20s, you'll come across someone who's wrong online. it's very important than you spend the next 40 years of your life learning and arguing about this topic online long after they've moved on, built a career, and raised a family.

If you are going to panic, panic first. Example 473, my covers on an unnamed stock recently (little blue arrows are my fills)

Slowly covering a short position is indistinguishable from manipulative bid support or accumulation by a long investor when looking solely at price action

Fun part of #$ABTC -- nowhere in the company's SEC filings did they mention the 90-day lockup on the PIPE. There was originally not going to be a lockup but they added it at the last minute (causing one friend to not participate). So some people knew but it wasn't widely known (unlike most lockups)

Post something random or you’ll have an awful December

Happy Thanksgiving to all the other perverted Americans. 🦃🦃

One unexpected benefit of T+1 settlement: I didn't have to wire money to settle a margin call today because the due date on the margin call (11/26) was after today's trades settle. (Not taking excessive risk; I was just short a low-priced stock and shorted too many shares.)

#$MAMK MaxsMaking Inc got the SEC trading suspension over the weekend, before they got a chance to dump on anyone (big volume the end of October was almost certainly wash trading) www.sec.gov/files/litiga... www.sec.gov/files/litiga... "because of potential manipulation in the securities of MAMK"

Dinner Friday night at Next, Grant Achatz' other restaurant. They completely switched their theme every three to four times a year and they have been going for over a decade now. This menu was Space. It was very well put together and equal parts silly and earnest.

Big day Tuesday in Chicago fine dining: will Oriole or Ever get a third Michelin star to make up for Alinea losing its 3rd? We dined at Ever last night and they could be good enough. It was a lot better than when we last went ~4 years ago. We ended up super stuffed of course. Drink pairings were 👍

#$MCTA SEC Suspends trading of China P&D scam China Medical Limited www.sec.gov/files/litiga... "potential manipulation in the securities of MCTA effectuated through recommendations made to investors by unknown persons via social media to purchase, hold, and/or sell the securities of MCTA ..."

If you’re in North America and have a view to the north or northwest, there’s heavy auroral activity going right now!

It me. #specialsits Shrub isn't on Bluesky so I had to steal this from him and repost

I love seeing alleged pumpers get denied. This is from the Atlas Trading criminal case: none of the judges want to hear PJ Matlock's lawyers whine storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

So EternalEnvy lived up to his nickname today and posted that he is up $85m in October. Not bad for a small-cap day-trading short seller when I thought the total profits in that niche were around $200m per year. There has certainly been lots of volume and action this year, more like COVID than 2022
