The Militia Long/Short Equity ETF has launched! The ticker symbol is $ORR and it just began trading. The strategy is similar to my hedge fund, investing in global stocks up to 150% long and 100% short. This strategy will typically have lower correlation and beta to the market

Trayvon Martin was a violent thug who almost beat a man to death. Luckily Zimmerman had a pistol to defend himself.

The behavior of many international tourists is really bad, she's not wrong to call out the problem. Besides that, there are just so many tourists in some areas - especially Kyoto - that is kills the entire experience for everyone, but especially when some behave badly.

Burry is bad at investing. He's just one of many value investors from the early 2000s that concluded their track record with a single good macro bet on housing. One factor bet plus one macro bet. That's it. This was of course no real sample size at all. Burry completely

A contrarian call today: Within a year, the USA will have its first recession since the GFC. The cause will be a combination of the large new tariff tax, restarting student loan repayment and the debt market rolling over as covid vintage debt comes due and cannot be paid.

To have near the quality of life as Bezos the real number is $15 million. Or $20 million with many kids At that number you have total freedom to do most anything within some reason. You still can't constantly get VIP tickets at concerts. But you can travel as much as you want

Ken is the true GOAT. Better than Soros, Druck, Rentech, Buffett, Greenblatt, Lynch and all the other guys who get way more praise. People should be studying what he did more than anyone, and yet I almost never hear people talking about how he pulled this off.

Gator Capital Management doesn't get nearly enough praise. Since inception in 2008. I'm guessing (?) this fund has been out in the open obvious for long enough that allocators already filled up his fund - if not that's genuinely insane.

I am risking .1% of my fund on OTM puts to hedge against an unexpected Chinese invasion of Taiwan by April 17th. This is and right before fall are the two key windows. If they invade, this bet will pay ~300:1. I'll keep doing this twice a year for the next several years.

@naval Old + sick self quarantine for 2 months in vacant hotels. We pay them + do catering. Everyone else spreads it as fast as possible through the population to build up herd immunity. People leave in waves based on age. Why doesn't that work?

I changed my mind on $NVDA after reading this article. It at least seems too hard to have a long position.
