Quick Update

Positions still unchanged, except for "Shorts" and "Trades":

Been a good month:

  • My two Japan SAAS stocks are up 30-50% since mid June.
  • My LATAM stocks are up in the past 2 months
  • Gas pipelines flat
  • And my short term trades are working.  Made money shorting EWY and other tech stuff, covered most of it on the way down.  Cumulating in Situational Awareness being taken out by Citadel.

  • Also made money buying interest rate sensitive plays, trading in and out.  
So far we've see a bifurcated market, AI and high-beta tech down, (non-AI) software and low-beta up.  The blast wind from the blowup.  Does it continue?  Might depend on if Citadel is unloading their new bargain basement AI stonks.

Once the bodies are carted out, we should go back to our regular programming.  Either:
  • A bull market from a few months of rising US growth.
  • Or a downward chop from the war.
I don't know what happens.  Just trade whats working till it doesn't.  And remember that cash is a position.
