3.92

Now look at 0.97 where historical data implies a 10% return

Now look at 1.75, the highest level ever followed by 10% - only because that 12-year period ended at the Q1 2020 peak

Now notice that matching the largest outlier in history would still get you to only 5.5%😬

Alternatively: “We have just witnessed the largest non-retail investor selloff EVER”. Right?
“We have just witnessed the largest Retail Investor buying EVER. Retail has bought over +$100B of US stocks in the last month, the largest 1M buying on record.” www.dailychartbook.com/p/776 via @dailychartbook.bsky.social

Boormans of the world - fame at last.
BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL is a new documentary by @davidkittredge.bsky.social about John Boorman, the making of EXORCIST II: The Heretic, and the risk of big creative swings.

It will have its world premiere Sept. 5th at the Venice International Film Festival. We're excited for you to see it.

The AI frenzy has been fueled by relentless hype, but the dud launched by OpenAI has its former enthusiasts wondering if they've been taken.

In the week since Tesla was hit with a $329 million judgement for a wrongful death involving Autopilot, the stock is up roughly 10%.

Yesterday Tesla canceled "Dojo" training hardware worth $500b in market cap per Morgan Stanley, and this morning the stock is up.

Something is rotten on Wall Street.

Newsletter: I am sick and god damn tired of everybody pretending that generative AI is the next big thing. The media is complicit in accepting fantastical nonsense - both in the numbers put out by OpenAI and the silly jobs created by Anthropic - and it has to stop.

Just finished the @theresthistory.bsky.social episodes on Evita Peron - possibly the wildest (bizarre, macabre) post-death story ever.
