Four issues a week. One complete disaster each, with the receipts.
A 35.67% session at a retailer whose comparable sales went nowhere, $17 billion of bad news that made a stock go up, and a short that survived the press release but not the earnings call.
Read the damage →A record one day collapse at a retailer whose own stores were fine, a 3% hit from a company he did not own, and a stock repriced by one analyst's spreadsheet.
Read the damage →A lawsuit that beat an earnings model, a tariff four months away that got priced today, and $3 billion of shorts on the wrong side of one rally.
Read the damage →A dilutive overnight share sale, a 30x bitcoin long bought at the top, and a trade replayed one war too late.
Read the damage →A 177 percent single day squeeze, a beat that got sold anyway, and a bond trade undone by one Treasury announcement.
Read the damage →A chip stock massacre with a retail beat hiding inside it. Four people picked the wrong side of Tuesday.
Read the damage →Four real market moves this week. Four people leaned the wrong way on every one of them.
Read the damage →Four people spent this week paying for something they assumed would keep behaving. Software, the consumer, the range, the thesis.
Read the damage →A bridge that passed multiple audits accepted deposits that never existed. That was only the second worst idea this week.
Read the damage →A free call, a borrowed short, a tiny index move and a barrier erased $345,870 from four composite accounts.
Read the damage →A takeover, a dilution plan, an oil spike and one quiet earnings move erased $212,040 from four composite accounts.
Read the damage →Four traders discovered that being early, leveraged and certain is just a faster way to be wrong.
Read the damage →Five minutes of reading. A lifetime of bad decisions to study. Your portfolio will thank you, eventually.
