The Presidents of the United States of America have really aged...

They don't play guitar like they used to and seem to have done an interpretive dance instead of playing fan favorite Lump by depositing a large turd wearing a brown neck tie at the podium.

I want my concert money back.

Market summary for week:

• [US equities] Market started with its consistent eternal optimism

• Midweek Grateful Dead fan, Jerome Powell, tanked the market with his press conference tone

• Once institutional sell programs finished for week, well-capitalized option selling portfolios (like mine) ended the week roughly how they started the week with a little more theta due to open orders being filled during Wednesday afternoon panic

Lesson: Keep your trades small enough to withstand market chaos.

Me: The Web is 34 years old today.

Spouse: I thought you said something happened in 1969?

Me: That was the first message on Arpanet.

Spouse: But my dad dialed-up in the 80s from home to a university thing occasionally and he had email.

Me: yes, there was email and other things before the Web...

I regret everything but I am glad she half listens to me.

Anyone else irritated seeing all the Musk sycophants on LinkedIn talk about the 2 year Twitter takeover anniversary as if it was a resounding success?

I wrote my response, so feel free to share this post in the comments of those brain-numbingly bogus ones:
