Wait, what the hell is going on here?

The S&P500 (SPX) was up +17.1% in 28 trading days as of Friday's close. Absolutely absurd.

But what if I told you it was also the first time a ramp up that hard (+17.1%), that fast (<=28 trading days) had happened since the beginning of computerized trading (1982) where EITHER:

- VIX was under 22 (it closed Friday at 17.15)
OR
- SPX closed at a new all time high close (it got close in 1991)

Freak out all you want about analogs to 1999, this has never happened before in most of our lifetimes.

Should you buy puts? Calls? A gun? Pack of hyenas?

What do I care?

GOD, I missed me.

Some childless people will call this cope. They’ll say he’s only saying this because he can’t afford to travel the world. I’ve done both. Having kids is immeasurably more fulfilling and it’s not close. Time and season for everything but building a family is the best part of life.

At @iah Wednesday afternoon. This is some of the dumbest and most useless waste of time I’ve seen in a long time. The government created this issue by creating TSA. Stop playing politics with each other and pay these TSA folks. Y’all should be embarrassed of this situation. Walked 25 minutes to get to the back of the line in basement of A. @united I want a refund for my TSA charge on my ticket if you’re not paying them.

Yes @CycloneMBB defensively really rattled @KentuckyMBB . TJ Otzelberger is terrific coach & deserves more PR! @KentuckyMBB jumped up by 11 than it was all Iowa St- TAMIN LIPSEY was fantastic as he led Cyclones to W 82- 63 with 26 .Wow & they played w/o ALL AMERICAN Joshua Jefferson 6’9 scorer/ rebounder.

@BasedMikeLee @TRHLofficial If it can’t pass in the Senate, let’s just put it to a national ballot vote along with term limits for congress, bet both pass overwhelmingly!

That’s what happens when you kick Lipsey in the ding ding, man of steel. Chuck Norris is smiling down.

Plus a look at how, two weeks into the war, Iran is still exporting lots of its oil, and most of it, via the strait.
