New position $AMZN Portfolio allocation: 19.5% I saw many investors far smarter than me loading up on $AMZN in the latest 13F filings. After a significant drawdown, I think this is a very attractive entry point. If you operate on a longer time frame, the largest companies -

I believe people should stop blindly following Berkshire Hathaway as a reference point for todayโ€™s market. Warren Buffett is nearly 100 years old. No one - regardless of how brilliant they were in their prime - operates with the same energy, speed, or proximity to emerging

New position: $UBER - 5% allocation. Uber Technologies is down roughly 40%, from around $100 to $70. I like Bill Ackmanโ€™s thesis here. I donโ€™t have much to add. At $100, I wouldnโ€™t touch it. At $70, Iโ€™m comfortable allocating 5% of my portfolio.

The odds of an all-out war with Iran are intensifying. Silver +4.6% Gold +2% ETH -2.5% BTC -2.1% Unless youโ€™re blind, you can see that whatever beliefs you had about Bitcoinโ€™s purpose a year ago are gone. The past is the past. The present is the present.

$GERN +50% in the past month! Our biotech analyst Alpha is truly unbelievable. Iโ€™m incredibly grateful that he shares his ideas with us as a way of giving back to the community. Itโ€™s rare to see a highly successful hedge fund manager openly share his best ideas simply to help

I often say you have 2โ€“3 great opportunities to short the $VIX every year. We are about to get the first one with Iran. I will be shorting $VXX/ $UVXY aggressively if the $VIX spikes.
