To The Moon

$BLACK CAT SYNDICATE LTD(BC8.AU)$ $Apple(AAPL)$ $Alphabet(GOOG)$ $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ 🪖🪖🪖 A tip of the hat to 1PC for 🏷️ to this event. The market, ever the impish playwright, unfurled a Black Friday teaser, slashed prices, portfolios shedding weight like a modernist purge. If Monday dares darken further, we’ll need sonar to navigate the debris of our charts 📉🌑

Still, any veteran of the trading crucible knows these lurches are but narrative feints in a grander saga. So we sip our restoratives, unclench our jaws, and recast the scarlet candlesticks as bold seasonal flourishes 🍷🔴

In his 2017 letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, Warren Buffett turned to Rudyard Kipling’s If to encapsulate a timeless principle, composure in the face of chaos. His selective invocation, “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs… If you can wait and not be tired by waiting… If you can think , and not make thoughts your aim… If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you… Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,” is more than poetic flourish, it’s a strategic blueprint for navigating the tumultuous waters of a stock market Black Friday. These days, defined by plunging prices and panicked selling, are the crucible in which investor character is tested and fortunes are forged.

Buffett’s philosophy hinges on a deceptively simple idea, volatility is not an enemy but an opportunity. A Black Friday crash, with its cascading declines and evaporating confidence, exemplifies the market’s cyclical nature, moments of hysteria that Kipling’s words urge us to transcend. The frenzy of such a day, screaming headlines, plummeting indices, and a stampede to the exits, can overwhelm even seasoned traders. Yet, Buffett suggests that the edge lies not in outpacing the panic but in defying it. This is the essence of his counsel, to “keep your head” is to see beyond the red screens, to “wait and not be tired by waiting” is to resist the impulse to act rashly, and to “trust yourself” is to anchor decisions in reason rather than the crowd’s despair.

This approach reflects Buffett’s broader investment ethos, patience and discernment as the antidote to fear. When markets convulse, as they do on a Black Friday, the knee jerk reaction is to sell at any cost. But Buffett’s allusion to Kipling reveals a counterintuitive truth, these are the moments when the disciplined investor thrives. By stepping back while others scramble, by evaluating when others emote, one can uncover value amidst the wreckage, stocks oversold in the rush to safety, opportunities born of irrationality. The reward, as Kipling promises and Buffett affirms, is substantial, not just financial gain but the quiet triumph of self mastery.

So, as the market reels on its next Black Friday, consider this a call to action. Embrace Buffett’s wisdom not as mere advice but as a mindset, resilience honed by clarity, patience fortified by conviction. The chaos will pass, as it always does, the question is whether you’ll emerge rattled or resolute, a victim of the storm or its quiet conqueror.

Here’s to diluting nothing but our nerves, and to a Monday drenched in more green than a financier’s utopia. To keener plays and calmer pulses, onward 🍃📊🧠
