What information sources do you keep abreast of to keep your edge sharp? Do you have associates that you keep in touch with in your activities noted above or are you performing as a lone wolf?
I have mentioned details here many times. I check in (daily) on the Ethereum updates & testing. I am even a member among the Solana dev's discord, etc. I know things that will happen many months out in advance, and what difficulties there may be. But over the last few years you didn't even have to have discord and live chats with the dev to get an edge. All you had to do was simple basic stuff like read the official Ethdev blogs to know what was what. I will never forget that time when EIP-1559 was well known a month in advance of the update, yet ETH crypt sinking day after day as we got closer. Bears were all shouting how crypto was going to zero (remember that?). Then finally the 1559 rollout went live. It went live without any problem and I was listening to Vitalik as this was going on during live podcasts. SURPRISE, the very next day, CNBC jumped on the news of 'this new update' and then the rest of everyone else (who never does their due-dilligence) caught on, and crypto went to the moon all over again. Of course, I had kept laying short PUT LEAPs going out to march 22. The strikes were so stupidlly low, I would have been perfectly happy for assignment too. And despite the fall of crypto even by march of 22, they were not even close to the strikes. I just let them expire OTM. You may have remembered the comical highlights of that time near the BTC tap-root update. People were so stupidly re-shoving their money in after having turned bearish, that they were even buying up Ethereum Classic by mistake, just because it had the name 'Ethereum' in it. Even CNBC posted the wrong tickers!
I definitely have to hand it to JackMorgan. Almost a month ago to the date, I used him as an inverse-indicator to go bullish, when he was the most bearish. So with all his yelling and regurgitating how Microstrategy would get margin called and BTC will go to zero, etc. I not only purchased MSTR (class A) in my retirement account, but the very next day I doubled down by exploiting a synch-glitch in my account, which allowed me to get a free-loan to purchase more of the same securities in my retirement account. Haw! This morning I checked and my MicroStrategy Class A shares were around 50% higher than from the initial purchase close to 30 days ago. I invite all investors and traders alike to use Morgan as one of the best inverse-indicators around. In fact, he beats out Cramer (no joke). Once in a while Cramer gets things right, like complaining about Cathie Wood's shit-show ETFs.
ps, I looked up full of shit in Websters , and found your post . Sad you feel the need to invent fake trades
