"Markets dont bottom when $VIX is up and the S&P is down. Thats just stress. Real bottoms happen when: S&P makes new lows VIX doesnt Bad news stops working Bottoms are about exhaustion not fear. When S&P is falling and $VIX is rising the market is still discovering risk. People are actively buying protection. That means fear is growing not finished.

"Dont Get Your Heart Broken by Not Falling in Love Dont fall in love with momentum stocks. They can drop 50% just as easily as they can go up 100%. Smart savvy investors understand that momentum moves together - up together and down together. The story works until it works and it stops working when it stops working. Forget the stories in your head. Forget the romance. Forget how amazing you think the stock is. The problem is nobody will ever tell you when the market decides that price-to-earnings matter.

"$BMNR & $MSTR Im not a big fan of Tom Lee or Michael Saylor. I think they add very little value to the ecosystem. Tom Lees message is mostly that stocks or Ethereum will go up and Michael Saylors message is that Bitcoin will go up. There is nothing particularly intellectual in what they say and none of it adds real value to an investment process. That said anyone who followed Tom Lee into $BMNR or blames Michael Saylor for being a bag holder in $MSTR should take responsibility themselves. It is not realistic to believe that anyone can forecast the future value of crypto assets with certainty."

"Were looking at an asset that almost everyone bought because they believed it would do certain things go up with inflation protect purchasing power act as a store of value.

"Calling this a Kevin Warsh sell-off misses how markets actually work. Warsh was already a well-known high-probability outcome. Things that were expected dont suddenly cause massive moves across gold silver and crypto. Whats really happening is human nature: people struggle to accept that markets move for reasons beyond clear cause-and-effect. Randomness positioning liquidity and timing are uncomfortable ideas - so a story is attached after the fact to make the move feel explainable and controllable. Prices move first. Stories come later. Reasons follow price not the other way around."

"After a move this violent in Bitcoin any institution that bought it as a substitute or as a store of value is either already out or actively unwinding.

"When Bitcoin was trading at a much lower market cap it was far easier for pundits and speculators to move it around. That dynamic changes as the asset grows. At this level without institutional participation it becomes significantly harder to push price in a meaningful way. Sure a figure like Trump can spark a move - maybe 10% from here. But a 50% rally back to all-time highs Without institutions stepping back in thats very hard to see. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019586538129223799 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019586538129223799"

"Lets put this in proper context. Silver rallied roughly 150% before correcting 50%. Bitcoin by contrast simply fell 50%. You have to think before drawing conclusions. Silver and gold corrected after performing exceptionally well. That pullback didnt invalidate the thesis - it reset positioning before they went on to perform very very well. A 50% drawdown means very different things depending on what came before it"

"$ZIM Update / Thesis I havent given an update on $ZIM since my last post where I mentioned selling a chunk of my position around $24. Now that $ZIM has fallen toward $20 I am back in full position and its time for an update. There has been increasing chatter in the Israeli media against $ZIM being sold to a foreign entity. This narrative has largely been led by the CEO who is still attempting to bring the company under his own control. Since nothing material has happened on the deal front recently it is only logical that the stock price has been drifting lower as buyout expectations fade."

"In Buddhism feelings are very simple. Every experience falls into one of three buckets: pleasant unpleasant or neutral. No philosophy needed. Emotions start when the mind adds commentary. Stories. Opinions. Meaning. Feelings are clean. Emotions are noisy. Stocks work the same way. A stock can only do three things: go up go down or go sideways. Thats it. Thats the feeling.

"Key takeaways on $ZIM after discussions with hedge fund holders: The stock currently trades at around $13.20 while the company is holding approximately $24 per share in cash. There is no logical justification for sitting on such an unusually large cash balance unless management intends to use it for a buyout. The most plausible explanation is that they are keeping this cash either to purchase the company themselves or to retain control of it once such a transaction is completed. Based on this liquidity $ZIM could distribute as much as $17 per share to shareholders immediately without putting"

"Ive been asked a couple of times why Renaissance which is a quant fund recently decided to build up a 5% stake in $ZIM at $17 per share. I believe that this position is almost certainly held in their institutional funds not the Medallion Fund. Given the size and illiquidity this isnt a trade theyll flip in a few weeks its more likely a position theyll hold for months. Renaissance has been involved in $ZIM for the past four years but the fact they chose now to buy the 5% passive stake signals their models found a discrepancy or mispricing in the stock that they really like"

"While its possible the fact that were already seeing detailed reports in the press about a potential buyout means the conversations are happening now theyre not waiting for the company to crash first. That being said losses this year are unlikely. Next year if the business does really poorly they might lose $2$4 per share. But remember by year-end they should still be sitting on around $25 per share in cash. Thats just part of the cyclicality of shipping. So while your thesis makes sense it needs to be viewed through that lens"

"I dont want to give the illusion that a buyout is coming in the next few days or months I dont know that and I dont want to mislead anyone. What I do know is that you have a company trading at $13 with assets worth around $50 and $24 of cash in the bank.

"$ZIM DEBT vs. LEASES When people look at $ZIM they often confuse debt with leases. Debt means the company borrowed money and owes a fixed lump sum back to the bank plus interest.

The lease payments are made every two weeks tied to the ships theyre actively using. $ZIM s leases are a mix: some were signed at great prices well below market while others were locked in at expensive levels.

"Markets dont bottom when $VIX is up and the S&P is down. Thats just stress. Real bottoms happen when: S&P makes new lows VIX doesnt Bad news stops working Bottoms are about exhaustion not fear. When S&P is falling and $VIX is rising the market is still discovering risk. People are actively buying protection. That means fear is growing not finished. A bottom cant form while: New sellers are still showing up Hedgers are still willing to pay up Volatility is still being bid Thats an unfinished process. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019471626476351842"

"Calling this a Kevin Warsh sell-off misses how markets actually work. Warsh was already a well-known high-probability outcome. Things that were expected dont suddenly cause massive moves across gold silver and crypto. Whats really happening is human nature: people struggle to accept that markets move for reasons beyond clear cause-and-effect. Randomness positioning liquidity and timing are uncomfortable ideas - so a story is attached after the fact to make the move feel explainable and controllable. Prices move first. Stories come later. Reasons follow price not the other way around."

"I dont recommend trading $QQQ put ratio spreads unless you really know what youre doing. Theyre not for rookies and require precise risk management. Below is a client portfolio a bit over $1 million - shared intentionally to demonstrate how one well-timed well-structured put ratio spread can meaningfully protect the entire portfolio during a drawdown adding 4.82% to the P&L so far and probably a lot more if the market stops crashing for a day. The general idea is to open the position with a tight stop loss. As it starts moving into profit you progressively tighten the stop - protecting gains"

"Key takeaways on $ZIM after discussions with hedge fund holders: The stock currently trades at around $13.20 while the company is holding approximately $24 per share in cash. There is no logical justification for sitting on such an unusually large cash balance unless management intends to use it for a buyout. The most plausible explanation is that they are keeping this cash either to purchase the company themselves or to retain control of it once such a transaction is completed. Based on this liquidity $ZIM could distribute as much as $17 per share to shareholders immediately without putting"
