    I’d suggest no one takes investment advice from me.



    I may have been a little overexcited again.

    Not to worry. I put a not insignificant sum a couple of weeks back on CLOV when it was at $12 as it was clearly going to the moon. Well it's gone somewhere.....

    Last night I executed 22 "sell" orders, leaving only two stocks/funds in my portfolio. Too many market indicators are negative, and in 16 days both Mrs PC and I will be retired. I got scared!

    That chart looks similar to TIGR and OUST.

    These:
    - Increasing likelihood of rising inflation
    - Latest surge of Covid/Delta will continue hurting global economic recovery
    - Continuing disruption of supply chains
    - Sudden rise in bond yields
    - Indications that the U S. Fed will be tightening its interest policy
    - Prospect of heightening domestic terror activities
    - U.S. debt ceiling problem and its impact on meeting debt obligations
    - Biden's quandary in getting key funding legislation passed

    Other than that, I'm an optimist!

    Now you have got me worried!

    Have you let the relevant authorities know about the terror threats?

    Always make me confused when Americans worry about terror threats when thousands of Americans are killed each year by other Americans with guns.

    The domestic (U.S.) terror threats, promulgated and applauded by Donald Trump, are existential threats to our democracy and Constitution.

    That’s a minor issue compared to all the “standard” gun deaths.

    Biden Warning Ratchets Up Jitters: Debt Ceiling Anxiety

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...e?srnd=premium



    McConnell Tells Biden GOP Won’t Cooperate on Debt Limit

    By Laura Litvan
    October 4, 2021, 8:03 AM PDT Updated on October 4, 2021, 8:34 AM PDT

    Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell told President Joe Biden he should pressure Democratic leaders in Congress to go ahead and raise the debt limit on their own because the GOP won’t cooperate.
    In a letter to Biden Monday, McConnell demanded that the president “engage directly with congressional Democrats on this matter” and said Republicans will not be changing their position.

    I was only drawing a comparison to the USA fear of terror attacks in the context of gun related deaths in the USA.

    Anyway, I see you are bearish. If I were older and had enough retirement funds I’d probably withdraw capital from the USA markets.

    I am, and I did! Note: what happens in USA financial markets greatly influences what happens in global markets.

    A year ago Shell shares were 953p, today they closed at 1707p…….
    Is this called completely missing the boat?
    Or still worth a punt?

    IMO all priced in - too many have exactly the same concerns. This does not mean the market will not pull back, but if the information is widely available it's priced in.

    I see that bitcoin has gone up a lot over the past weeks, that and the long-awaited US listing must be creating the best of times for Argo investors?

    How's it going?

    Nah, I get those off the shelf.



    It has occurred to me on occasion that it might be amusing/instructive to do a comparative correlation chart of all the main quoted miners against the bitcoin price, eg HUT, RIOT, MARA, HIVE etc. (Not forgetting ARB of course.)

    Which time frame do you want?

    (I have recalculated Argo into Dollars as all other instruments are quoted in Dollar. Doesn't make much of a difference, but that's just me).

    1 year:



    6 months:



    3 months:



    1 month:

    That is some seriously impressive software. Not to mention the demonstrated ability to deploy it. (Do they do a version for the Raspberry Pi?)

    Thanks for that Raffe. The results definitely appear to merit closer inspection.

    The really interesting numbers are when you compare all the miners fundamentals. Their MCaps differ wildly when all things are considered including their hashrates, BTC/crypto holding values, debt, mining efficiency, assets on balance sheet, investments on balance sheet and other things.

    When all those things are included in the valuations, it shows that some miners are hugely over valued and others are hugely under valued.

    It's TradingView.

    Those strange patterns are because I picked BTC as the starting point. As that one trades 24/7, it puts all the other instruments on 24/7 as well which doesn't make sense as they are closed for trading most of the time.

    As an example, here is the same 3-month chart with RIOT as the 'pacemaker' and BTC as one of the comparison instruments. Much smoother for above reasons. Seems to be a data error in Argo on 29 July, the minor UK listings simply have shite coverage on the US charting tools because nobody ever trades them.

    No matter how you twist it, they are all hugely overvalued.

    I simply can't help myself, dipping my toes into short Tesla again here at $817.

    Been trying to be less emotional about TSLA recently (basically made some money on longs and lost some (more) money on shorts in last months), but this POS is still the bubble of the century.

    The question is what will pop the TSLA bubble? There is no doubt that electric cars will be the future but the mainstream oil burning brands have to react to that in due course; does TSLA have any defendable IP that will allow them to own a huge chunk of the car future as their market cap demands? I just can't see them getting the vehicle volumes to match the valuation.

    I think the FSD scam will pop the bubble. I am pretty sure they will have to officially recall FSD within the next two weeks and there will be tens of thousands of client who will sue to get their $10k back. This, combined with further market share losses to GM, Ford and VW will fuel the decline.

    Target: sub-$100.

    The only car you can buy in the UK with next month delivery and no compromises because of chip shortages is a Tesla Model 3.

    Is there anything to actually recall? Isn't the promise of FSD just a promise of some future software upgrade?

    Because they reprogrammed their firmware so they can use non-auto chips. This will lead to a huge wave of failures in the coming months, no other auto maker would ever dream of using non-auto graded chips in any of their vehicles.

    * no compromises is also not true: Tesla removed some functionality because the related chips are not available, amongst it lumbar support in their seats.

    Since mid July, bitcoin has doubled its value from sub-$30k to $60k.

    Suppose that was the trade of the century for leveraged investors, like those owning MicroTragedy shares? There must be double upside to compensate for the fact that the company will go bust if BTC ever dips below $20K, right?

Investors seem to have recognised that, as the premium has disappeared.

    FYI, during the past 3 months bitcoin has returned 100%, while MSTR has less than 50%. It was supposed to be the other way around, because of the huge leverage.

    Admire the persistence but like I said earlier this year, you're doing more harm with your constant FUD in this space - both to you (played by the general media/hype), and others that might have heeded your posts and stayed away (opportunity cost). Good luck with your day trading, but I've certainly taken whatever you post with a huge dollop of caution, and mostly done opposite.

    Hope you managed to make some money on the underlying longs then, because you must have lost big time with fading me.

    I'd like to think I did ok with my stock picks so far. But no I didn't long your short calls in TSLA/MSTR but both companies I think will do just fine long term. I'm more in crypto last 10 months and that's eclipsed everything so far.

    What's going on with the TSLA SP?

    Our resident expert is certain they should be on the fast train to $100 but they keep going up and up!!??

    I must say, their current SP seems totally bonkers.

    Our resident expert is certain they should be on the fast train to $100 but they keep going up and up!!??

    I must say, their current SP seems totally bonkers.

    Ok BTC is back near ATH but ARB is still languishing at some 35% of previous ATH. Where can ARB investors get a refund?

    Just wait until bitcoin drops by 80% from here. Argo will be gone and delisted before half of that has happened.

    But the good news is that peter dot wall at argoblockchain dot com will have his stash put away in good old fiat money on a Swiss bank account.

    Covered my short TSLA before the Q3 results yesterday at $863, then bought $900/$950 call spreads and $820/$770 put spreads - only the put spread order never went through because I did a mistake.

    Kicked myself all night and morning when TSLA was trading at $850s, thinking I screwed up my trade badly.

    But then, magically the stock jumped almost $50 within minutes of its opening and I have sold half of my calls for a 100% gain and sitting on the rest. Actually looking for a new attempt at all-time high (top of day so far $0.40 below high from January) and will sell rest of calls and go short again.

    Crazy times.
