There is an underground market of ticket brokers powering this market —they hunt for inventory, flip tickets and maintain an extensive network of season-ticket holders to secure access for longtime clients

Sports tickets are near-expiry options with a lot more slippage, and implied volatility is at an ATH.
Frankly, I could probably build a trading strategy centered on futures and playoff tickets, now that I think about it…

This video went viral for Ken Griffin and Tom Brady but real ones might squint hard and spot Michael Ferro of TRONC fame

Ken Griffin spotted spitting game while Tom Brady stands right in front of him at Palm Tree Club yesterday
They’re fully in their Miami eras

Sad the Park Slope Food Coop discourse didn't mention the 2017 scandal when their pension fund invested in an Antarctic krill biotech stock in which a coop trustee was the largest individual shareholder

New: CFTC is interested in at least three firms as part of its probe into a surge in oil trading about 15 minutes before Trump's March 23 social media post.
Unclear why CFTC is interested in these firms. No allegations of wrongdoing yet.

New w/ @alligordon @caseytolan @PamelaBrownCNN:
Swalwell wrote a law school recommendation letter for a woman who spoke w/ CNN: “He would Snapchat me. He’d be like, ‘What do you want to do with your future?’” she said. “And then he’d be like, ‘What are you wearing right now?’”
May 4
More than a dozen women who spoke with CNN described interactions with Eric Swalwell that made them uncomfortable over the last decade, from social media messages to in-person encounters to alleged attempts to lure them to his hotel room. cnn.com/2026/05/04/us/eric-s…

There are times when bad news is bad news for markets. There are times when bad news is good news for markets. Then there are times like this. Big read with @hannaherinlang on what’s behind the doomsday bull market

Oil: “It doesn’t matter if something is real or fake [in trading]. Whatever the price is doing, that’s your main input. Real and fake in terms of information, who knows?”
Stocks: “All these times when the market drops, it doesn’t even matter to me, I buy more”
Risk: “Fuck it”

I wrote about why bad news doesn’t really register on Wall Street these days, and why investors feel like their only option is to say “F– it” and buy stocks anyway. W/ @DavidUberti for @WSJmarkets:

What a time to be alive
Heads-up: Pre-market so-called “news” or “Truth” is often just a setup for profit-taking. Basically, it’s a reverse indicator.
Do the opposite: If they pump it, short it. If they dump it, go long.
See something tomorrow? You know the drill.

AND THE JAWBONE
Crude "only" fell ~$4.50/bbl on the latest Trump post, which is less than 1/3 of the pullback he got on Monday, and the rout was reversed much more quickly.
Oil market getting more numb to the nonsense.
As per Iranian Government request, please let this statement serve to represent that I am pausing the period of Energy Plant destruction by 10 Days to Monday, April 6, 2026, at 8 P.M., Eastern Time. Talks are ongoing and, despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media, and others, they are going very well. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

New from us: Saudi oil officials are working frantically to project how high oil might go if the Iran war doesn’t end soon—and they don’t like what they are seeing.
Base case: prices could soar past $180 a barrel if disruptions persist until late April.
