Hi @zero2a$mill

It feels like you were miffed with my win a couple of nights ago because I pinned right next to @Fishinnick.

Earlier in the evening I had a look how the DOW had behaved in the days leading up to the last two Fed rate announcements … based on that I had a target of +120 to +150, depending on how I treated one anomaly. I was half thinking of +131.13 if zip didn’t take it.

As the evening wore on, it seemed less likely a positive pin was a smart move … but I decided to make myself do it … I umm’d and ahh’d which side of Fish to pin, and decided I preferred to up side. The only reason I then pinned right next to him was to maximise my downside exposure.

I even chatted to Papabuy earlier in the evening what I was thinking and why, and none of it was malicious.

Normally you should notice I try to pin into open space.

Hope you enjoy an unencumbered pin tonight … and best of luck to Dooley tonight for his Powerball win … I’m a Powerball virgin tonight (bought 2 x 16 game tickets today).

Cheers
Dex
