This is the twenty-first year I’ve been running Slope. From time to time, I’ve mentioned that, as much as I love writing about my life, the very BEST stories – – the ones that are hard to believe – – – are the ones I simply cannot tell.
Perhaps I’m foreclosed from sharing such stories to protect the privacy of others, or because it is too awkward for me personally. Regardless, I am just DYING to talk about my financial relationship with SpaceX, and what it’s like to see this thing lurch higher 20% per day, but I simply cannot. It’s really frustrating, but necessary. So, I’ll keep my stupid trap shut.
Thus, I’m resigned to just sharing my short-sale portfolio spreadsheets with you. I’ve hidden the private information (quantity, position size) but kept everything else. Even though today was by FAR the highest price levels for most indexes in stock market history, I want to emphasize that the two highlighted figures below represent my only percentage losses, and they are smaller than mouse nuts. Simply stated, my shorts are performing admirably.
As for my five-symbol options portfolio, it sucks out loud, but I’m not budging. Indeed, I added to my SMH puts. All my options are way, way, way out in January 2027 (except for CVNA, which is September) so I’ve got boatloads of time to be proved correct.
