Exit Liquidity
The new Cerebras (CBRS) IPO could not have been more perfect. The deal was supposed to price around $185 a share. The thing opened yesterday around $350. Ran to $385. And this gave it a valuation up near $100 Billion.…

The Clarity Act: This Is Not a Crypto Story
You’ve probably heard something about a new crypto bill in Washington D.C. And you’ve probably tuned out. I get it. It’s complicated, it’s nerdy, and we’ve been exposed to a lot of blockchain jargon since 2008. Most investors don’t even…
Sell Naked Puts in Berkshire
A lot of people think Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) is just Warren Buffett sitting on a mountain of cash making boring investments. But Berkshire is actually the biggest stock in the entire S&P Financials Index. Not JPMorgan Chase (JPM). Not Goldman…
The Most Bearish Chart in the World
I spend a lot of time looking at charts every week. After doing this for more than two decades, I’ve learned which ones deserve a closer look. Most of them just blend together after a while. Some look constructive. Some…
Would We Be in a Recession Without AI Stocks?
I was at a birthday party last week when someone confidently explained to me that only “a handful of AI stocks” are responsible for this entire market going up. And without those stocks, apparently we’d already be in a recession.…

The Most Hated Market Just Made New Highs
The market just wrapped up April with the S&P 500 at fresh all-time highs. Same thing for the Nasdaq 100, the Dow, mid caps, small caps, even the tiny little micro-caps nobody pays attention to. That’s not what a weak…
‘Being Short a Bubble Sucks’
One of the biggest mistakes investors make is forgetting the most important characteristic of asset prices: They trend. Not sometimes. Not when the Fed says so. Not when valuations look attractive. Just structurally, over time, asset prices trend. We’ve got…
Why I Share Every Trade I Make
I get asked all the time why I’m willing to share so much about my strategies, my process, and all my portfolio decisions. And the answer is simple: Why wouldn’t I? I came up in this business a little differently…
The Bond Market Tsunami Is Coming
Long-term interest rates are back to where they were just before the 2007 peak that led into the Great Financial Crisis. The yield on the 30-year Treasury bond is now above 5% and knocking on the door of fresh 18-year…
I Trust Dogs and the Bond Market
One thing you learn pretty quickly in markets is that you can’t trust much. Wall Street analysts build careers being wrong. Economists somehow manage to be worse. Journalists aren’t even trying to get it right. They’re trying to tell stories.…
I Don’t Even Want Your Dividends
It’s funny the things you catch yourself saying out loud. Most investors spend their entire lives chasing income. Dividends, yields, monthly checks. That’s the goal. Not me. You can keep your dividends. I don’t even want them. I’m here for…
