Glad to know our self-appointed auditors got the numbers wrong. (Twice.)

Just eyeballing it, but looks like it crossed 80% about five years ago.

Just another day at Trump's DOJ... Politically motivated order. Long-time civil servant resigns instead.

Momentum L/S index is getting hit today. Boring day for most of us. But there's panic in long/short land.

Yet another plane crash with Delta airlines! I think this makes 8 since Trump took office! #USDemocracy Delta Airlines plane crashes at Toronto Airport - The Telegraph apple.news/AEl9lhc6QSEG...
