New post! One of the most highly anticipated days as a trader: the Facebook IPO. Tons of hype and fanfare on it. https://churningandburning.com/2023/07/facebook-ipo.html
Good stuff, including the trading charts. I remember the hype with that IPO. The fact that it struggled so much on the first day said a lot and portend what was going to happen in the near term. Today Facebook is one of the FAANG companies and looking back, they are lauded for using analytics to monetize their multi-billion user base. I have a friend who works at TikTok and he says they are always trying to emulate FB/META analytics.
New post and I think it's a fun one -- a bit about MBC's past, me trading more biotechs, and a new trader graph I call The Pain/Time Matrix https://churningandburning.com/2023/07/pain-time-matrix.html
Lol, "Wall Street Masters" in 2008. I remember watching Wall Street Warriors 10 years ago. First time exposed to Timmy Sykes. Ah so you worked at SMB Capital. Kinda thought so but wasn't completely sure. Their YouTube videos are pretty good.
