Hope there’s more to do there than here and tea prices hasn’t risen on a nice day. Well kinda, it’s raining here.

I didn’t see the response from someone who’s more familiar with nuclear than me who is not or not a chemist like her among other things till now.

She got a kick out of your green camps. To save typing Ill copy the part she mentioned it to anyone interest in investing it it or uranium. I know we have one near me they closed down and no one wants it opened. I think it would be a good idea if they could make it safe and figure out what they’re gonna do with the waste.

Old bill gates is full of s***. That natrium nuclear plant of his is nothing more than a sodium-cooled nuke plant, which so far has not worked out real well because of the propensity of the liquid sodium to leak, and that is a leak to write home about because, as we all remember from chemistry 101, sodium reacts explosively with water, which has a way of being in the atmosphere. In short, there may be one or two sodium cooled plants around, but I don’t think they’re in America, and I sure wouldn’t want to live near it.

Plus, I am totally amazed at the daily “scrams” in nuclear plants around the country. The whole shebang shuts down when any little thing happens, and the number of little things are tremendous and cover everything from fuses out, parts not installed right, parts going bad — the possibilities are endless. They sound simple, but regulations make a big deal out of every little thing, so it’s not surprising when they get blase about safety. Most of the bad accidents have occurred because they didn’t realize early enough that something was wrong. Then they discover that they need to make changes to correct those problems, and a whole new bunch of problems come on board. You can’t win! So it’s true. Nuclear plants are very safe, until they aren’t.

We know TA doesn’t always work but this chart looks fat to me …

HERE WE GO

REGULAR TROOPS from France, Germany and Poland have arrived, by rail and air, to Cherkassy, south of Kiev.

Substantial force. No numbers have been leaked.

They are being housed in schools.

For all practical purposes, this is a NATO force.

Let the games BEGIN. Mr.…

I’m not going to be able to trade these things as I see fit — or I’m like you and I just store a bunch of gold and wait for it to go to $5,000.”

Market Psychology And 0DTE Option Mayhem

“So, I can exist on this plane, you know, to circle back to your question, I can exist on this plane without giving a shit about the world burning, without giving a shit about what makes sense, without giving a shit about any of this stuff, as long as I take that out of the equation, right? I have to mentally take that out of the equation. Because if I don’t, I’m not going to be able to trade these things as I see fit — or I’m like you and I just store a bunch of gold and wait for it to go to $5,000.”

Sang Lucci has been my friend for more than 10 years.

He runs an online community called The Steamroom which focuses on reading tape and the options market every day with the legendary Wall St. Jesus — the man almost singlehandedly responsible for today’s obsession with tracking unusual options activity.

He joined me on my podcast this weekend to talk the resurgence of malls, why he ignores macros, the effect of 0DTE options on the market and more.

“Let’s not forget the narratives and the sentiment that’s being sold to us on a daily basis, and then the market does completely the opposite thing, right?” Lucci tells me when asked about macro.

“We saw that here last year with, you know, the sort of hyperinflation, markets should come down, we’re in this sort of recession, and all this kind of stuff, and none of that happened. And meanwhile, the semiconductors just took us out of the depths here and continue to take us out. So, do I have any idea what’s going on? Hell no.”

Talking about valuations, he notes: “And you know, with all these valuations going through the roof, you know how I rationalize it, Chris? I always rationalize it as, ‘This is the same human behavior, happening time and time again.’ And when it comes back out, that’s gonna be my world, you know what I mean?”

“And I will be able to make millions of fucking dollars again and again and again,” he continued, “because human behavior never fails, man. It never fails, these sort of boom and bust cycles. So, as ridiculous as this looks right now, Abercrombie and Fitch is going back to zero dollars at some fucking point in time.”
