The Big Ouch

Re-posted from: I hate sucking so hard at this, but enjoy the lulz. I just lost $1k+, and you can too! from ethereum I’ve had the pleasure of participating in crypto for several years, and I’ve made plenty of mistakes, from Satoshi Dice, to buying the early ASICs, to leaving coin on Cryptsy and sending…

More Bad News To Come?

In last month’s post Trouble On The Horizon I mentioned that things looked grim for the NASDAQ as the volatility continued to rise relative to the number of stocks rising within the index. NASDAQ internals haven’t improved since that post, and the situation continues to deteriorate in the S&P 500 and the Dow 30. To add…

Quick Thoughts on Crypto

It occurs to me that I haven’t published a damn thing on blockchains since 2014. Bit of a shame as things have really taken off since then. One day I’ll have to recap the past few years in hashland; there have been some crazy ups, and downs that made my head spin and my stomach…

What’s good?

I’m reading no less than half a dozen books right now… Infinite Jest – Holy shit. Seriously.

The descriptions of drug addiction and parental conversation…

Trouble On The Horizon

SPY & DIA holding up, but the breadth and volatility of the NASDAQ feels ominous. We haven’t seen this kind of action since July 2015, about a month before a memorable flash crash. Broadly speaking, when the blue line rises above the red, stay long stocks (SCHB). If red gets above blue, favor bonds (SCHZ)….

Phone blogging

Looks like WordPress has put together a nice app to enable blogging from the phone… Maybe this will bring back the stream of barely literate drivel I used to write. Prepare for an ill conceived meditation on markets, machines and mainstream perceptions of reality. I’ve decided to do away with the process of editing, so…

In The Beginning

Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past. -George Orwell, 1984 Despite my failure to regularly update this blog, my latest endeavors require that I express cogent thoughts on a topic that has held my fascination for the past several years. Old visitors to this space know that I…

Uh Oh

Despite hitting all-time-highs in April, the major US indexes are looking weak. The S&P 500 continues to find support, but note the lateral consolidation and relatively low volume. Look out below…
