@nikitabier Bye bye poon-omni

Austin Texas broadly was beautiful last I was there about twelve years ago. From what I read and see lately Austin is rapidly getting “LA-ified”. Other places too. I predict not a single town or city in America will find “LA-fication” to be a positive.

Biden mentions the tax party is over and the market throws up in its mouth. I’m waiting for the ayahuasca induced purge. Long #volatility

[Secretary Janet Yellen (Archived) @SecYellen]

By choosing to compete on taxes, we’ve neglected to compete on the skill of our workers and the strength of our infrastructure. It’s a self-defeating competition, and neither President Biden nor I are interested in participating in it anymore.

We want to change the game.

Equity Volatility = 1 / Capital Markets Liquidity. Too much cheap $$$ for any #volatility. May we meet again tail risk, one day?

If vaccine rollout is merely political ammunition then let it be a test of good leadership. Spoils should go to the victor. #meritocracy

[Hiram Mac @alphapolitik]

A simple discrediting ‘at scale’ of vaccine efficacy would tank markets #blackswan style. Even if speculative just to derail this bull run.

[Hiram Mac @alphapolitik]

The #inflation story becoming a lot more #realtalk. Short $USD too risky so only inflation proof trade left is long $vix. #volatility

[Hiram Mac @alphapolitik]

Short $USDZAR. Bearish sentiment through and through.

Mall valuations would soar overnight if tenants were forced to pass a digital footprint test. Foot traffic != single point of failure.

[Hiram Mac @alphapolitik]

Decentralizing ‘insider’ finance by $btc slowly yields re-centralization to finite distributed ledger participants. Until then long $btc.

Pair Trade: LONG $eem SHORT $spy. Lag 200D: 12%. Lag 5D: -1%. The reversal is the trade.

[Hiram Mac @alphapolitik]

$GME bear put spread. Long $61 Short $55. Implied vols still pricing in risk but not enough for overall market.

[Hiram Mac @alphapolitik]

@EJP45791519 In theory yes. But LAG 200D: 18%. LAG 5D: -41%. The reversal is the trade not the underlying economics.

[Hiram Mac @alphapolitik]

Pair trade du jour: LONG $vix SHORT $tlt

[Hiram Mac @alphapolitik]

Seems like deep pocket #shortsellers became 2021 overnight bad guys. The real bandits? JPow and co making it rain like an endless monsoon.
