Siren Songs Of Summer
"S&P 500 heads for record close as Nvidia soars, investors look for rate cuts," read one mid-week mainstream media market wrap.
That's gotta be a gut punch if you're a bear. More records. More AI. More rate-cut speculation. More cowbell.
"New quarter, new half. This is when a wall of money comes into the equity market quickly," Goldman's Scott Rubner told clients on Wednesday. Scott's a tactician. Like Nomura's Charlie McElligott. Only not as fun to read. (Charlie's out of the office on a
I’ll be honest… I could have used a little more cowbell.
Sorry, had to get that out of my system.
My mind is blown that NVDA just took the 2 spot, and I have no problem fading that. I mean, I’m not selling it short. I’m not a fucking moron. But never bet on hardware. Commodities have no moat. Just ask IBM.
I took advantage of some 52 week highs and did some selling today. It’s never wrong to take profits. I never short tho, too risky for me

Right now being long treasuries on the long end with a touch of chip exposure seems to be the game.
You should see my denim jacket collection.
I don’t know why anyone in here remains interested in your fashion sense after you freely admitted to wearing a white denim jacket. I mean, the Patrick Bateman schtick has always been on-the-nose, but white denim? There are lines, dude.
I, too, recall that reference to wearing a white jacket. I definitely wasn’t picturing anything from the GAP. 🙂
H: I see Jensen has moved on to a Tom Ford Tejus lizard-embossed version of his signature black motorcycle jacket. 🙂
The bond market needs to stabilize or the roller coaster will just continue. This has been a good week in that regard. I hope the U.S. can follow Canada and the EU in short order, but July seems iffy, and September is so far away.
