The Dow is not the stock market. The Dow is a piece of crap.

This is a super-bad idea. Leveraged ETFs are for suckers. Do not buy them and hold them. Look up the “compounding effect.”

You can’t really day trade the VIX directly (unless you want to trade a lot of S&P options and constantly rebalance them), but you can day trade VXX, which is roughly (but not exactly) correlated.

Thank you for this. At least he finally got it right with this post!

Bullying is the wrong word, but I agree. The reporter shouldn’t have backed down. If Serena wants to tell the reporter why he’s wrong, then that’s fine and great and will lead to a reasoned answer to the question, like the one she gave.

Oops, I meant Brian Phillips from Grantland.

It’s totally in my face!

This was good, although I wanted it to be longer—and it felt like the writer definitely lapsed into Wallace’s style at times, like he had to make an effort to avoid it. I feel that way sometimes when I read Bryan Curtis’s sportswriting as well.

My wife will be at the Austin one. Like Chait, I was not sure if it was actually for women only, but either way, I’m staying home and watching the kids. Have a good time! Hopefully the weather will be like it was the last few days!

Chris B Brown tweeted about this (with a link to a Deadspin article about the 49ers doing this to the Saints at the end of the first half): Alabama should have committed multiple defensive holding penalties on that last play.

Sank, not sunk.

Thing is, he wasn’t better than the last coach. The last coach was Jeff Tedford. Sonny Dykes sucks and clearly hated being at Cal. I wish they had fired him earlier.

You picked a good year to take off. Wish I’d done the same. Brutal schedule, shitty kicker(s), lots of close losses.

That’s too bad. $10k worth of synthetic marijuana is a lot.

It’s actually really exhausting. Not in the same way as actual sports, but it’s definitely difficult and can tire you out.

I worked for his company. He is a good guy. He has integrity and charisma, and a shit-ton of money he made as a market-maker in the old days before HFT.

One thing that Pryor doesn’t suck at: causing opposing cornerbacks to screw-up their subject-verb agreement.

Turns out the only unlikely thing about this prediction was Nugent hitting three straight extra points. :(
