More of a business I think. It pays very well to be entertaining, funny and have doomsday or outlier opinions. He was once a boring serious market analyst but no one cared about him back then!
Funny you say that. I know a guy who has an ETF with over $100m in Net Assets (he became a bit big time for me since his ETF was worth over $50m). It's a Toronto guy that recently moved to New York... Anyway he told me that he knows Gayed and has showed me some of the emails he sent him in the past.. I don't think his twitter persona/ego is completely an act. He's a bit goofy and incredibly cocky. Those two had a bit of a silent rivalry for a few years. My guys ETF had grossly outperformed his for a couple years and he made sure to mention that to me 5000 times. The egos in that industry are next level.I think he still has his own conservative etfs
Big close on Thumb today. I added earlier in the day at 14.71 to get to a regular sized position, sorta thinking that the potential was there for smart money to buy aggressively EOD knowing that the ETF selling is likely done.I decided to let go of my CBST at 39.5c. Perhaps early. Tomorrow is another day of major ETF buying. But a ~45% gain in a couple weeks on a fairly substantial position is nothing to sneeze at. Sold in case it can't get through 40c but it likely has 1-2c upside before the inevitable Monday pullback. Dipped my toe into Thumb as well at 14.84. Let's see.
