So everything is going horrible! Trump got bad midterms results! China is crumbling/paper economy/bubble. Bitcoin is crumbling/paper whatever/bubble. Terrible tech sales. NVDA graphics cards are crap. Apple is selling so few iPhones. Trump is crazy. Civil unrest. Kavanaugh. Blah blah blah blah blah. I’m here to tell you none of this matters. It’s all manipulation, […]

RIP XIV and SVXY
A couple of whiles ago, I answered a question on XIV and SVXY. The question was: is XIV the most dangerous investment in the world? In it, I said I would never hold any of them long-term and probably not even short-term neither. In it, I stated that eventually, one day, XIV and SVXY would […]
If you’ve been waiting for a good moment to buy Bitcoins…
… then that good moment is now. Sorry I haven’t posted much recently. I’ve been busy with stuff, mainly, a clingy ex and bitcoins. I actually expected bitcoins to crash a bit early into the new year. Big banks and funds are not going to give away and abandon their monopoly for free. I think […]
How Profitable is Genesis-Mining?
Genesis-Mining is usually sold out 72h after listing new bitcoin mining. I believe it will be sold out soon after Black Friday. So hurry!! My first article on Genesis-Mining attracted a fair bit of attention. In it, I posited that: Cloud mining was generally a bad idea, but Genesis-Mining’s open-ended bitcoins contracts are an exception. […]

Andrew Left and Shopify

I’m curious because is what he does actually legal? Isn’t that a blatant form of market manipulation by using your influence to affect share prices? I had […]
Roku is crashing? I am SHOCKED!
I received a rather lengthy e-mail yesterday from someone who was somehow desperately in love with his Roku. To say that he disagreed with my last article would be an understatement. Disclaimer: I’ve never used a Roku in my life. I’ve never even seen a Roku in my life. I think the idea is dumb […]
Roku: The World’s Worst IPO
Question: how far can you take a joke? Can you actually launch a company based on nothing but complete speculation and random projections? Can you do an IPO based on nothing but a $50 machine that is competing against pretty much every other tech company in the world and that nobody knows about? Can you […]
Losing your wordpress password sucks
A few people have written to me over the past month asking why my website hadn’t been updated in a while. I usually post an article every 2 weeks or so and my last article is almost 2 months old. The reason is simple: I had lost my wordpress password. But this is a long […]
David Einhorn is an Idiot
So someone ended up forwarding me a letter from Greenlight Capital, a massive hedge fund (lol) managed by no other than David Einhorn. Here’s what I remembered from it: The Greenlight Capital funds (the “Partnerships”) returned (4.0)%, net of fees and expenses, in the second quarter of 2017 My first reaction was: is this a […]
