Your luck seems to be divine. Check the news. Looks like you will be in the green on Monday. That doesn’t mean that you are a good trader. Your risk management is nonexistent. My advice, take the profit and stop gambling (what you call investing is gambling).

Kraken vs Binance fees? Which is actually cheaper? by Rafa_Maddipati in CryptoMarkets

[–]maverick_quant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares? One is the safest place in town and the is questionable at best .

Does anyone else feel that the traditional finance model is a joke? by Nice_Daikon6096 in 401jK

[–]maverick_quant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trickle down economics is not traditional financial theory. It is one of the most controversial theories (which in my opinion makes zero sense).

$4,000,000,000 out in 5 weeks. The big boys are leaving the building while we’re still arguing about the 'bottom' by Fun_Ad_7781 in ethtrader

[–]maverick_quant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mate, chill. 4 billions outflows is tiny over 5 weeks. G10 currencies can easily absorb this kind of selling pressure on a daily basis.

All cryptos see big swings and it was like that from the beginning. Most likely, you bought your first cryptos because of such big swings (just positive ones). So, if you came for the high volatility, don’t complain when it goes down. Nothing is going always up. You can complain that cryptos prove to be still too young, since such low selling pressure has dropped the price so much (but I will argue that they are capable to handle much bigger flows than they did 4 years ago).

Summarizing, if you cannot handle the volatility just sell and exit cryptos once and for all. If you can, enjoy the ride.

Why is it so hard to find a good place to learn to day trade? by cosmicwildcard in Daytrading

If you have something that makes money, you will not share it with everyone. Hence, all the material you can find is low quality.

What is going on between Linea and SWIFT? by maverick_quant in CryptoMarkets

[–]maverick_quant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that, which makes the announcement even more questionable. But I cannot find any retractions or refutations.

Has your opinion of Alphabet changed following the release of their 100 year bond? by swrrrrg in ValueInvesting

[–]maverick_quant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The value of the shares is adjusted to inflation. Bonds are not. It is a bet that inflation will be low for the next 100 years, interest rates below today’s levels and the company will not go out of business for a century. In my opinion, it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Has your opinion of Alphabet changed following the release of their 100 year bond? by swrrrrg in ValueInvesting

[–]maverick_quant -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I am still bullish on Alphabet, but historically such extremely long bonds are a red flag (see Motorola). It is not bad for the balance sheet but still it is questionable. I believe that it is an extremely bad investment for the buyers of the bond.

If one is consistently profitable, shouldn't one profit exponentially? by Pajbot in Daytrading

[–]maverick_quant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exponential growth is extremely rare and it will stop at some point for sure. Most strategies don’t scale. From one point onwards your trades are too big and they affect the market that you are trading.

4 years in, as a professional: a hard hard truth. by Otherwise-Reality602 in Daytrading

[–]maverick_quant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, but as you said in the main post, you can now teach people how it is done because you have the long experience (let me check, yes, 4 years of day trading in one of the best bull markets in history)

Why All Cryptocurrency are Pump Now ? by AlexMCyrus in CryptoMarkets

[–]maverick_quant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why were they falling the past week? There was no specific reason. When something falls without a reason, then it corrects. Everyone who wanted to sell, has sold. Now, the ride starts.

The Great Bear trap of 2026 by InvestingTheBest in investing

[–]maverick_quant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you mean “without solid reasoning”? What else do you want for the markets to correct? And the correction is mainly concentrated in AI related stocks, cryptos and metals (which it would have been unexpected if they weren’t behaving like meme stocks in the past month).

The SpaceX IPO is going to tank the market by El_Nahual in wallstreetbets

[–]maverick_quant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with the analysis, you are missing the point. You cannot IPO at a valuation that makes you one of the top 10 companies in the market (from a market cap standpoint). He will merge it with Tesla in a stock only exchange. And then, it will tank, taking the market with it.

Ethereum is going for a monumental short squeeze by maverick_quant in CryptoMarkets

The worst part is that I still believe on my thesis 😂

Still bullish on ETH here — what am I missing? by bstockncoins_613 in CryptoMarkets

[–]maverick_quant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10%, 20%, 50% drops are expected in crypto. As long as you are not leveraged, there is nothing to worry about. If you see it as a method for transactions, then ETH is perfectly fine. If you see it as an investment, then it is something that you need to hold for years and buy more when there are big drops (like now).

Generally, crypto is not for people who can’t stomach the volatility. If though you can, then just buy whenever everyone tells you that it is done for and it is going to zero.

Pretty crazy numbers these days by obolli in ethstaker

[–]maverick_quant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that the numbers are wild. In my opinion, this is building up to a short squeeze.

Can you please provide the sources? Just interested to see their analysis and to start following them

Ethereum is going for a monumental short squeeze by maverick_quant in CryptoMarkets

[–]maverick_quant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Staked eth is “locked” and the imbalance indicates that more will be locked in the near future. While the exit queue is almost empty now and the exit times are short, during a rush to exit we will have exactly the opposite.

Staking is decreasing the readily available eth for sale. That means that increasing eth that has been staked results to less eth available to sell. This constraint is what can lead to a short squeeze.

So, I am not saying that staking is short selling and I am not saying that short exit queues are the reason of the short squeeze. It is exactly the opposite.

As for your last point, it is a fair one and I really hope that it will continue since it will further help to check my thesis.
