I'm guessing JG5 told you I got scalped by Sydney Sweeney and AEO. For the record, that short was correct, I just couldn't predict that useless cunt actually managed to convince people to buy their overpriced shit.
Ironically someone I know is heavily short silver and gold. 100% of their portfolio at 5x leverage. I wouldn't short silver just because some Hollywood dipshit bought in. AEO makes poor quality junk and had been flashing profit warnings since the first tariff conversations last year. It was a good short, but her cult are extremely stupid.
I lost 68% on the AEO trade in the end. It's not good but I bounce back. I wasn't stupid enough to over-allocate. Only 1% of the portfolio, so the loss is tiny, just an ego hit more than anything else. My first failed trade of 2025.

Made it all back and more today on GE Vernova.
Nope, total guess. You only have one actual point of pride that isn't just obviously made up so I figured it had to be something about it.
So tell me, how did mean old Sydney Sweeney take your money exactly?
I went short on AEO before she signed with them. It was a company heading for Chapter 11 fast.
I averaged up when she first signed and closed out at a slight profit, then re-entered expecting an earnings failure.
Didn't happen. Held it, finally cut my losses after a second quarter of inexplicable success.
Oh and here I was prepared to laugh really hard if you'd tried to short say, silver just because she bought into it last month.
Because those guys are about to have a real bad time.
