Hey traders,
I spent the weekend in Chicago. My wife and I have an upcoming anniversary so we decided to get extra romantic and go to a Bears game.
Before the game we met up with a few friends, notably my long time friend and one of the co-founders of Option Pit, my friend Adam. He happens to be a season ticket holder.
He said we should meet at a specific bar near the stadium. Now I know I haven't lived in Chicago in a bit, I am pretty familiar with the bars around the stadium and they are all universally equally inconvenient to meet up at before a game. But I had never heard of this one.
When I asked how to get there, he said, I'll park and meet you at the red line stop.
He met us, and we started walking. We walked around the stadium, past the Field Museum and the Shedd Aquarium, by the water, through the marina and boom. After a good 20 minutes of walking I was looking at a half empty bar I had never seen or heard of in my life.
Apparently it's a little secret the crowd that has boats in the marina keep to themselves. It was perfect, we could sit, catch up, enjoy the music, have a cocktail, and get stoked up about the game (the Bears dominated).
Sometimes you think you know everything about a subject, I lived in or around Chicago for 40 years. There is always someone who knows more…or maybe not more but something you don’t know.
That’s trading, that is why I work so closely with my traders at Option Pit and stay in close contact with other traders in the industry or running hedge funds. They are always dropping tidbits of information that I didn’t know or an angle to a story I wasn’t thinking about.
If you are not getting better every day at this, even if you can make money now that will change. This is why I am so deep in AI. It is going to change how we do business, and how we trade. But right now it is WHAT I am trading.
With Anthropic going public, probably on around November 10th, I am trading all the names that will be winning ahead of, leading right into, and coming out of the IPO.
It's called the Halo Project Hunting Anthropic Linked Options.
Your only option,
Mark Sebastian
