What's freaking me out about the broader indices is the dollar is getting stronger. Like, this is the trade that absolutely mulched my P and L again and again as an oil trader. I'd have some bull trade, some idiosyncratic thesis. Then the dollar would strengthen a bunch, and it wouldn't matter. I would just get I I would get dildoed. Never underestimate just how terrifying a rallying DXY can be for your assets. Because let's face it, at the end of the day, we're we're all patting ourselves on the back here, but we're really just short dollars. Cash is trash. You you get long freaking DRAM modu
Jonah, what's going on? Just yelled into the microphone for all those listeners that just hopped on. Hopefully, eardrums burst.
Nice to see you, Avi. At some point, I wanna get an explanation of what that artwork is in the background behind you.
I you know what? I I think I talked about it. I think I talked about it on on the Friday livestream that I did, like, the thirty minutes where I just talked straight at the camera and somehow had to keep coming up with more topics to talk about. That was actually they gave me so much respect for streamers. I'm like, it's kinda hard to just talk out of camera with no feedback from other people. It's kinda crazy. But Yeah.

You know what? I articulate it in a bunch of different ways, but as a trader, tell you a story. Like, what makes a good analyst versus what makes a good PM is is an analyst can collect 100 pages of evidence.
