What grapeswhiz has been up to

There's me in the purple (grapes-colored, naturally) line pulling in the 22.73% while the indices lag pathetically.  Who's the alpha in this pack?


 In case you don't want to zoom in, here's a relevant clip:

 

Also, I've only had May and June in which to accomplish this.  Why follow hot-air balloons on X who never stop talking but never prove anything, either?  Why chase them as if they know what's going on, when their chief talent may be verbosity? It's no detriment to me - I'll just be over here cultivating the alpha and sweeping in the harvest.

Today's report.  

My stake is going to hop around a bit due to funds being moved in and out of a futures account, but should stay stable within a range:

                                                                   $41.13 

My new status: 

                                                                  $94.23

grapeswhiz, or trading whiz Cathie Wood - who's it going to be?

Today's report.  My stake unchanged:

                                                                   $43.50

My new results: 

                                                                  $91.62

But take a look at this chart.  Just enlarge it and scroll around.  If you don't want to do that, the tl/dz (too little, didn't zoom) is the indices claiming 0-7% increases over the last three months while I'm embarrassing them at nearly 19%, taking a clear lead.  

 

 

Looks like Cathie Wood is up that exact same amount for the same time period, which could cause things to go embarrassing for ME.

With my good friend Andrew Ross shorting the **** out of ARKK on the daily, let's see who comes out ahead in the end:  veteran fund manager Wood or the unknown and little-focused on fund of

Count the muneez

Thought I wasn't coming back, right?  Well, get used to being wrong, if that's the belief you cling to. I'm here and I'm in gear, and this, to be short, is the report:

                                                                   $43.50

is my new stake, since I had to take out some muneez, and the current taking of the account's temperature is

                                                                  $90.55

Notional to some number that may be infinity (but isn't.)  

Not sure how Cathie Wood is doing in the same timeframe, but quick math will tell you I'm up over 100%. 108% if we're doing the computations.
