    No, that was all closed EOD. I gave back a third of my earlier gains.

    I am down $150K or so on marks. Was down $220K earlier in the day. We've been discussing the chunkiness of the MTM and how it's being gamed. I went out yesterday with a MTM on my GOOGL position that was a solid 2 handles under a realistic vol mark and is now 3-4 over. So the mkt is buying var (wings) and the sell side is marking it down at the close. I've never seen anything like it in an orderly market.

    I remember when I was a kid and Saliba was covering short flies and a guy was yelling to him to make a market in a fly, and his response was, "all 100-wide flies are $5 bid!"

    It feels like that but the mkt isn't moving.

    Well it creep'd right up to $87 yesterday.
    $83.80 now.
    Lets see what happens from here.
    Lots of chatter on other venues about the whole PlayStation thing.

    One could say (as a contrarian) there's too much hype, too crowed of a trade.
    Could be wrong though, everyone loves it.
    That said, there's rarely anything new in this game.
    So it's not over yet, it'll probably climb back up. Put a 7% target on the upside. 90ish. Then bail.
    Watch that $82.50 level though. If that falls on the wrong day... its heading back to the mid to low $70's.

    Hey speaking of Saliba, do you know how to get a hold of his book Managing Expectations? I’ve searched for it on and off all summer and not having any real luck. Ty.

  9. @destriero I remember you said you were mentored by Saliba when you were younger. That’s cool and all... I mean he’ll do if you need a mentor in a pinch... but he’s no Jeff Bishop. He’s no Kyle Dennis. He’s no Tai Lopez.
