Formerly obsessed with TSLAQ, but gave up. Now obsessed by gloom and doom, decline and fall, depravity and iniquity.

Going to bed late is associated with a higher IQ.

Researchers at the London School of Economics analyzed thousands of individuals to map the relationship between circadian rhythms and cognitive ability.

People with higher IQs are significantly more likely to be night owls.

The data breaks it down by sleep schedules:

• Very Dull (IQ < 75): Sleep by 11:41 PM
• Normal (IQ 90–110): Sleep by 12:10 AM
• Very Bright (IQ > 125): Sleep by 1:44 AM (and sleep in past 11:00 AM on weekends)

Why? Evolutionary psychology.

For 99% of human history, night was for sleeping. Artificial light didn't exist. Staying up late chasing complex thoughts, building projects, or solving problems is an "evolutionarily novel preference."

People with higher general intelligence are more equipped to override ancestral instincts, break away from the traditional sun-up-sun-down routine, and adapt to a modern, 24/7 world.

The early bird might get the worm.

But the night owl gets the higher IQ score.

@TSLAQrabbithole I liked your tweet. It flashed 200 likes, then went down to 2 immediately. Twitter has thumb on scales.

@ActualProfessor Better than most.

@ErikSTownsend @MacroVoices People are short Tesla. This is the primary explanation. There may be others.

[BoomerDoomer @AlwaysRamping]

@talesftf @TESLAcharts Nope. Got some vodka though. People seem to be all aflutter about things. Weird questions. I'll have to see what's going on.

[BoomerDoomer @AlwaysRamping]

Hey @TESLAcharts, I fell asleep for six months. Woke up and checked price of Tesla. Up 73% since my nap! That robotaxi thing must have worked out. Either that, or the economy is on fire.

[BoomerDoomer @AlwaysRamping]

@talesftf @TESLAcharts I haven't had time to do an inventory. Just woke up. What, is that a problem?

[BoomerDoomer @AlwaysRamping]

@TeslaCharts Crash-Landing Secured.

@mmahoooooit @FedPorn Short squeeze.

[BoomerDoomer @AlwaysRamping]

@markbspiegel Everybody plays an important role.

[BoomerDoomer @AlwaysRamping]

@JTSEO9 Was being destroyed. What a difference a few days makes.

Wondering if $MDB report will have wider implications. Up 10 percent tomorrow on a greater than expected loss?

The valuations in this sector are nuts, but I guess could be nuttier.

[BoomerDoomer @AlwaysRamping]

@ParadiseTrader3 Yes!

[BoomerDoomer @AlwaysRamping]

@markbspiegel Sucks big time, but $W is up an equivalent percentage. See @JTSEO9 for stocks doing the parabolic ascent. If you've got a price sales ratio over 20, like $SHOP, you're golden. $ROKU just added another billion in market cap. I like 6 month bear put spreads for these names.

[BoomerDoomer @AlwaysRamping]

I'm in or looking at a lot of the short ideas in this thread, prompted by @bgrahamdisciple. There follows some ratio charts on a few of those trades. The ratio chart is a good way to look for the insanely overvalued, as against the grossly overvalued.

@CGasparino @brodieferguson Hey, I'm on the second floor, dammit. Quit talking shit about Mom.

[BoomerDoomer @AlwaysRamping]

Oops, that's a 200 week moving average.

[BoomerDoomer @AlwaysRamping]

1. This thread has charts showing $silver in relation to a variety of other indices. It is similar in character to @markbspiegel's case for $DBA.

First off, the $gold-silver ratio. It's approaching all time highs. So if you like gold, silver is the better choice here.

[BoomerDoomer @AlwaysRamping]

4. This next chart shows silver in relation to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Gee, silver (as all the other metals) hasn't done so well against stocks since 2011. But might it touch that 200 day moving average, just to show that metalbugs aren't total morons? Yes, it could.

[BoomerDoomer @AlwaysRamping]

6. Use stops, naturally, in case things go haywire.

Now for the disclaimer. Shit yes this is trading advice, which you should not take, because it comes from someone who has lost gobs of money in a previous life. It does, however, have the merit of being free.

Go Twitter.

[BoomerDoomer @AlwaysRamping]

5. I'm not a gold bug, or a silver bug. Just looking for a reflation position to help hedge a bearish portfolio.

Commodities (the ags, lumber, oil) and bonds foretell a recession. Stocks are not there yet. If recession comes, stocks will deflate; if not, these will recover.
