Politics, history, #finsky (stocks, LEAPS options, futures), my Doxie darling, fitness, education.

Not as dumb as I seem, nor as smart as I think.

I like having a lot of contrarian asymmetrical positions; frequent small losses then win big.

Reminds me of this old caricature satire strip of Nazi leadership from the 1940s by Norwegian artist Johan Bull, depicted in the book "Bildet som våpen" by Jan Kokkin.

The caption reads:
«The Ubermensch ideal: Blonde like Hitler, slim like Goering, strong like Goebbels, masculine like Himmler.»

In recent days, Trump announced #tariffs on several countries, including Kazakhstan (25%) and Canada (35%), allegedly starting August 1st.

20% of US homes run on #nuclear power, but only produce 1% of the #uranium required, importing 99%.

Of that, 53% comes from Canada and Kazakhstan.

Dumbarse.

The first thing Senator Padilla said was, "I'm Senator Alex Padilla".

The first thing Kristi Noem said when interviewed on Fox Propaganda about the abuse of power was, "Nobody knew who he was."

Textbook 1984 doublespeak.

Norway's largest newspaper as well as its newspaper of record, Aftenposten, has an article today about the drop in popularity of #Tesla among Europeans.

With 88.9% of all new cars sold last year being EVs, Norway is the leading adopter of such cars worldwide.

We aren't buying Teslas anymore:

Hvilke skribenter og redaktører er det som tror at denne endeløse selvforherligelsen er hverken relevant eller interessant lesestoff?

Dear Americans,

You may not know this, but words are not effective against real tyranny.

*Asking* fascists to stop has never worked!

They ignore court orders with gleeful snark, piss on the Constitution, abduct innocent people to be sold into slave labor overseas, etc.

Act while you can!

Overnight #futures responding to #tariffs in a big way, the biggest, they said it couldn't be bigger.

Has the winning started yet?

#Markets down a bit, #uranium up more.

#Nuclear Renaissance - building momentum, or a one-off? The future is known to no man, but my money is on the former!

When he was done as President and resumed control of his peanut farm, he realized that the blind trust had GROSSLY MISMANAGED it, and he was stuck with more than $1,000,000 in debt.

So, one can definitely say that Carter did NOT use the presidency to enrich himself, but it was of his own volition.

Surely, this has to be a joke? Renaming #Greenland to what?!

"Y'all wanna go on a trip to Red, White, and Blueland?"

Please, tell me this isn't a real idea cooked up by an elected person with political power?

Not even The Onion could've come up with something as inane and bizarre.

100% Bonkers!

US producers only supply 1% of annual domestic #uranium consumption, providing electricity to 18% of Americans.

Two-way import/export restrictions on and from Russia, and now add the Canadian tariffs to the mix...

Simply keeping the lights on could get *very expensive*.

What are you #reading these days?

While working my way through "Systematic Trading", I decided I needed some variety.

Taking up this #History #BookSky on the beginning of the fall of the Roman Empire, written by Mike Duncan, "The Storm Before The Storm" (2017).

Increasingly relevant, I suspect.

"It is foolish to think that you have to read all the #booksky you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones."

What are you reading these days?

Moving on to the next book on my nightstand, I've heard a number of positive things about "Systematic Trading: A unique new method for designing trading and investing systems" (2015) by Robert Carver.

Looking to semi-automate my process.

What are you reading these days?

After finishing the Quant Momentum book by Gray & Vogel, I zoomed through "Immoderate Greatness" (2012) by William Ophuls.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable read, albeit a bit brief and occasionally jumping to conclusions prematurely. (4/5 rating)

And of the grand crash, our grandchildren will ask; "but gramps, weren't there any signs?!?"

And we will say, "nay, laddie, no one had the slightest idea, t'was but impossible to see!"

Just picked up this by gem by Gray & Vogel the other day, quite enjoying it thus far:

Hard to pick just one, but I think it would have to be "The Most Important Thing - Uncommon Sense for the Thoughtful Investor" by Howard Marks (Oaktree Capital Management).

I've nearly ruined my copy with endless markings & margin notes to the point where more of the text is highlighted than not. 😅

Loving the Daily here, increase of volume on the recent drop & narrowing range, RSI very low & MACD curling up.
