Jiesen tries to take over the world

still wishing I'd plunked down some coin on that SNAP back in '22. It went as high as 17 over the next year or so. Currently is down to ~$7 again tho, so... easy come easy go I suppose. Still happy making a 4% return on the cash sitting idle right now, but here's something I thought I would share today, a gamble I decided was just too good to pass up this time.

Pop Mart!

Yes, that's right, you've heard of the craze these kids are all into now, with the Labubu crap they won't stop talking about! Well, the company that makes those is Pop Mart, and is a $50B+ monster churning out viral beanie babies of the 21st century nonstop and making bank. How can you buy a piece of this action? Easy! Close your eyes, hold your nose and buy Chinese ADR's in Pop Mart with this ticker: PMRTY

I got in with a sizeable buy yesterday at $40 and change, will sell it this year for a 25-50% profit at least. Might hang on to some long term, if it goes high enough to get out with all my money back.

If you buy it and it goes down though, don't blame me, as I'm just the messenger here... PMRTY is a huge gamble, but one I can't pass up, knowing what I know about how addicted kids are to this crap right now. If you know, you know, and you're going in on this with me! Good luck with whatever you do, and I wish for HUGE returns for you all!

They are selling all kinds of knock off Labubu on street corners in New York City

Will 2026 be the year of the Labubu? Or the year of the crying horse?

I asked Gemini to tell me what my MSTR trade last week came out to, on an annualized basis. Here's what it said:

MicroStrategy (MSTR) Trade Analysis
Your MSTR trade achieved an absolute gain of 11.5% in just a single day. On an annualized basis, this performance is statistically staggering due to the extremely short timeframe:

• Simple Annualized Gain (APR): 4,199.1%
• Compound Annualized Gain (CAGR): 1.82 quadrillion %

Like I said, too volatile for my stomach to handle. Even Gemini thinks it's a staggering number.
