As an aspiring novelist, I’ve been carrying fragments of scenes and whispers of stories for my magnum opus, so to speak—glimpses of a world not yet whole. But weaving them together into something complete still feels like a distant summit.

So, I’ve decided to start smaller—to practice the craft by writing short stories and anecdotes drawn from my own life. Little windows into memory and meaning. It’s my way of building the muscles, one piece at a time, before scaling the great American Novel waiting beyond. Also, hopefully to make this wild world fo X a bit more personal.

In a way, it’s like what people in tech call building in public or #100DaysOfCode—but this is my version for writing: showing up, creating, and growing in the open, story by story.

I hope you’ll enjoy reading these small experiments and reflections—and perhaps even follow along.

@GaryMarcus Context is the whole game! This, AGI is not solved.

@brent_e_trader @Breadddman Bears like him are providing fuel for this rally to start the blowoff top. This is from someone who has mad respect for Burry!

@doodlestein These execs programs are huge money makers for the schools! People are buying the brands and a little knowledge.

@HormuzLetter Maybe there was never a deal to start with...

@GaryMarcus Yep. Fearmonering. Attention grabbing headlines. Having said that, I think many routine level white collar jobs and "email jobs" are at high risk of AI replacement.

@CoinvoTrading It will go higher before that happens..

@HedgeFundFomo Nope. At most a pullback.

@eriksen_tim Keep the day job!

As @jam_croissant often emphasizes, flow is a key driver of price action. Despite negative news over the weekend, the market continued to move higher, suggesting that short-covering from lower levels outweighed bearish sentiment. Looking ahead, downside risk remains if recently established long positions become trapped and begin to unwind. Ultimately, fundamentals tend to assert themselves over time, but in the near term, market behavior is largely dictated by flow dynamics.

@alpha_pls I did similiar analagous analyses. It seems to be similar to the 70s. Given the macro environment, that might not be a bad analogy.

@cosmicfibretion Yep. So, the Riemann Hypothesis will be solved in the next 2 years? Lol

[Peter Chen @peterljchen]

@stevehou Possibly. Parallels with '73 - '74 with the oil crisis and stagflation. Start there first. If it gets worse then we can proceed to '08. If it gets worse than that then we can talk about 1929.

@TechLayoffLover MIT is on 5.0 scale. If they have 5.0s then they are working at Jane St, Citadel, GS, XTX, etc. Not in your DMs.

[Peter Chen @peterljchen]

Agreed. Your track record is phenomenal and speaks for itself. Given what you said, would you give the same respect to the younger gen of retail prop(funded) traders with real edges? Or will you label them scammers like the boomers label your generation of daytraders? Just curious. It works both ways. With respect.

[Peter Chen @peterljchen]

@Seanfrank Well that might be true in the long term and most likely will happen. Markets can still go down significantly in the short to medium term before that long term Utopian vision is realized. Path dependency nature of price action.
