Rare event today: SEC trading suspension of NYSE American-listed stock JM Group Limited $JMG. This is another China pump & dump; 95% of these have been Nasdaq-listed.
Reason: "because of potential manipulation in the securities of JMG"

2025 GoodeTrades Trading Review:
1. Holy shit I'm a bad trader. I lost money shorting Nasdaq microcap gappers last year (a great niche; only 11 trades)
2. I am good at finding tiny little niches that are insane easy, eg, one strat has 77% win rate, 31% avg win, -12% avg loss, -8.4% avg MAE on wins.

Presidential pardons don't mean shit to a trio of ICC trial judges in The Hague.
“Since he was sworn back into office nearly a year ago, Donald Trump and several administration officials have already informally discussed the idea of preemptively pardoning an array of Trump advisers, policymakers, and others…

We Goodes don't fuck around. (No clue if I am distantly related to Greg.)
Indiana Republican State Senator Greg Goode, a key swing vote who Trump attacked by name and was victim of swatting attempt, indicates he's voting no on mid-decade gerrymandering. Increases likelihood bill will fail. He denounces "Threats of primaries. Threats of violence. Acts of violence."

Slowly covering a short position is indistinguishable from manipulative bid support or accumulation by a long investor when looking solely at price action

Fun part of #$ABTC -- nowhere in the company's SEC filings did they mention the 90-day lockup on the PIPE. There was originally not going to be a lockup but they added it at the last minute (causing one friend to not participate). So some people knew but it wasn't widely known (unlike most lockups)
Watching American Bitcoin $ABTC (Trump Kids backed) shareholders get absolutely bagged is very funny.

One unexpected benefit of T+1 settlement: I didn't have to wire money to settle a margin call today because the due date on the margin call (11/26) was after today's trades settle.
(Not taking excessive risk; I was just short a low-priced stock and shorted too many shares.)

Dinner Friday night at Next, Grant Achatz' other restaurant. They completely switched their theme every three to four times a year and they have been going for over a decade now. This menu was Space. It was very well put together and equal parts silly and earnest.

Big day Tuesday in Chicago fine dining: will Oriole or Ever get a third Michelin star to make up for Alinea losing its 3rd?
We dined at Ever last night and they could be good enough. It was a lot better than when we last went ~4 years ago. We ended up super stuffed of course. Drink pairings were 👍
