Pissed Farmers
While 1500 farmers are offing themselves…California farmers are protesting.
I’d love to sit down with one of these California farmers, and say something like “What exactly do you expect Arnold to do, about the environment you chose to farm in? What exactly do you expect Arnold to do, about too many people living in an area [...]

1st Seven Days?
…and 183 to go, how is my short TNA short TZA pair trade going?
Rather well, thanks for asking. Even if we get half the decay we’ve seen in the last 7 days, every seven days, the pair will erode to 41% of their value from today. (((-6.7% / 2) + 1) ^ (183 / 7)) [...]

What if Oil hasn’t bottomed?
Consider for a moment, hypothetically that the recent spike in oil brought just enough investment to solar and oil both, that combined with the supply side of oil, and solar R&D…could solar potentially be ready to breach a tipping point, towards grid parity?
Could expensive energy be behind us?
Look up the history, on how the internet got so cheap. Recall: [...]

Leaning Short
A comment I agree with…in reply to Tyler’s great post:
<quote>
”So GS paints the tape ahead of its capital raise, quants move to the sidelines without leverage, vanilla cash comes oops-ing out of money markets, the banks leak record earnings, and the market trends to break all VWAP dislocation records.”

Fun with Numbers: Financial Quarterlys
The web is a great place. In less than 24 hours, from idea to beta, I programmed this. I did it for less than obvious reasons.
Can you answer me, ‘was the recent surge in stock market prices accompanied by a surge in analysts quarterly earnings estimates?’ I can’t answer that, because I don’t know what [...]
