Although Bitcoin is being touted as a better alternative to fiat currency than gold or just about anything else, it continues to function as, well, a risk...

The Indices Are Lying Today
Today is one of those sessions where extended indices and sectors do not necessarily need to be a sign of impending rug-pulls.

Getting a Little Chippy Out There
One-way markets tend to reveal the more obnoxious side of market players and pundits alike, which is likely being compounded by an extended, emotional election process amid a rare pandemic. On a daily basis, you see a plethora of "I-told-you-so's" from traders who should probably know better but cannot help themselves. Such is the nature of...

Update on Twitter: Nice 'N' Easy Does It
Uniquely forgiving markets like these tend to condition traders to focus even more on instant gratification and instant success. As long as the party goes on, shorts in names like BB GME LAC remains vulnerable, especially the crowded shorts like GME GOGO SDC, etc..

I Held My Nose and Bought the United States Dollar Fiat Currency
Fiat money. Monetary and fiscal policies in America are now both aligned with an inflation-be-darned mindset, both implied and outright stated at times.

Hostile Environments
Along the lines of the epic short squeeze in GME taking place, other uniquely heavily-shorted names like GOGO are joining the party this morning. SDC continues to be a name I am watching for a reentry after selling it into strength a few sessions ago with Members. The larger point, though, is that when the market enters one of these...
