Exactly, he made tons of bets. A crappy hit rate still would have yielded some serious results.
Def a staggering $$$ number that would haunt me forever if I was SBF. But If you gave any of us a few billion of other people’s money and we had access to the right tech leaders = Anthropic, HOOD, etc. are nuts even a blind squirrel would find.

On a different note, where is the next rotation now that industrial and staples are crowded. Hard to believe the housing still stuck in the mud although I see the ITB up 8% last couple of days.

Two ways to look at this:
1. Imagine if he wasn’t a criminal, he could have gone down as one of the best early stage investors of our time.
2. If he wasn’t a criminal maybe he wouldn’t have had the capital to place so many early stage bets.

Either way, still fascinating to see…

I believe some people make a killing buying up FTX bankruptcy debt/assets (not sure of the right word). They got shares/ownership of all those companies at pennies on the dollar.

In theory, everyone who had money with them was made whole. They missed out on lost gains, but not when valued in dollars

Crypto companies- we want to be able to offer better yields to our customers

Banks- we don’t want that, we want to keep that for ourselves

Our elected officials- the banks have a point

Sold some stuff yesterday, some dogs, some OK winners including AMZN.

Looking at maybe selling UBER today which has been a dog for awhile now, but it does look to be in a good support area.

Leaders on my board today. Metals and Oil.

HOOD down a bunch off mixed earnings. Missed on rev's beat on EPS.

Watching it, but chart looks like dung.

I got out of UBER a few weeks ago as well (with a nice gain from the mid/low 60s). I'm still bullish on the company, but the narrative is clear right now. Need to see evidence of a change.

I mentioned AVAV a month or so ago.

Military grade autonomous drones.

At the time I stayed away given it had just ripped 75% or so.

Welp, it has given that whole move right back. Not sure the why outside of market volatility.

Keeping an eye on it, think there is support right here at $230.
