Biden goes off script again

Plans to build a railroad 'across the Indian Ocean'

"We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean," Biden told the League of Conservation Voters at their annual dinner in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night. "We have plans to build in Angola, one of the largest solar plants in the world. I could go on, but I'm not. I'm going off script. I'm going to get in trouble."

"Build Back Biden" is the new slogan for America. :)

There's three parts to this streamer.

I thought it was very interesting, because of the three different transitions in Arnold's life.

One episode for each transition.


His father fought with the Germans in WWII.

When the war ended, he was home with Arnold (PTSD?).

Arnold thought he was abusive to him and his brother.


Eventually, his brother got killed in a car wreck drinking and Arnold did the opposite.

Cool.

Stories like this didn’t work in 2020. Can’t see them working in 2024 against the candidate with 71 felonies (and counting).

A Penn St professor got arrested for having sex with his dog in a state forest…..
Asked rangers to shoot him when they came to arrest him lmao.

How they found out? They had set up security cameras to find out who was stealing hand sanitizer from bathrooms…..
Whole story is messed up, yeah let’s covertly record everyone who goes to the bathroom in a state park over some petty nonsense. 1984 as it were, bunch of sick freaks.

Was she a good looking dog?

So I ended up with AAPL puts and PYPL calls, used to hedge each other.

I made a few profitable trades in the interim but nothing spectacular.


The AAPL puts go out to June 2025.

The PYPL calls go out to June 2024.

It's currently about an 80% bull (PYPL) to 20% bear (AAPL) asset position ratio.


So I am playing a spread because AAPL appears to be close to a peak (31.60 PE) and PYPL has a low forward PE multiple (14?) after selling-off hard.

I decided to hang on to the PYPL calls, so far.


Below is a 30 minute log chart for PYPL.

I intend to sell the calls when the moving averages cross (144 & 233 emas).

However, the horizontal dotted line is where the mid-gap is.

So I think she'll trade there but will take more time.


I'll net about 25% or so but I'm down on the AAPL puts.

So I'm considering lifting the hedge and lowering average cost on the AAPL puts.

The first time I bought puts on AAPL was around $181 equivalent.

Second time was yesterday close to the high ($186).

Each time I lower average cost, I intend to increase position size exponentially.

Too much Catholicism.

I feel really bad for the people working in that school for having their hands completely tied. First, you can't rail underage boys in the locker room showers, then next thing you know, you can't even engage in public sexual intercourse with canines whilst committing petty theft.

What next? You can't masturbate on the top of rooftops and rain ejaculate down on passers-by?

Fascists. I tell you.

(This is all sarcasm for anyone who somehow missed that.)

AFAIK the identity of the sanitizer thief is a mystery.
