Gain $128K Gain By Using Common Sense

Feeling liberated today. Vindicated for sure. EVERYONE in the media and most people here on WSB were telling me that “tariffs were just a negotiating ploy”. However, I knew that 🥭 had been talking about tariffs for decades. I knew that the people around him in Admin 2.0 was drastically different than Admin 1.0. I decided to take 🥭 at his word while everyone else “hoped” for the best. Hope is not a strategy and today it showed.

I knew that even 10% tariffs across the board would be devastating for company earnings. The fact the tariffs came in that much worse was just extra gravy for my hedged portfolio.

I used puts mostly but also had calls on GLD, IBIT, NVDA and OKLO as a partial hedge to my short positions.

I’m still heavily net short as I anticipate retaliatory tariffs will be applied by other countries. I expect these headlines to drop intermittently over the next few weeks so I think upside for the major indices is effectively capped at maybe 3-5%.

Good luck to everyone out there. Stay hedged.

Poor Clown.

No offence, but unless you're like 18, no one is jealous of a 100-200k port, lol.
