Heads Up

Folks, those of you who are Inner Circle subscribers receive a trade disclosure alert in Slack before I place any trade in the stocks and ETFs we cover in the service.

As you know I have not been posting alerts for any buys/sells that I carry out in the account I use for Jay's SignalFlow AI for SPY and SignalFlow AI for QQQ services. I'm always happy to discuss how I am using the SignalFlow service in its discussion group. If you'd like to join this service - I love it, personally - you can do so here.

I am also running a modest pool of capital following other service providers' ideas. Generally speaking any such provider will be doing something very different to anything Cestrian publishes. But as a heads up, to the extent I place any small-allocation trades in that account, I won't disclose them - to do so would just broadcast information that other providers are running as a subscription service & this would be unfair to them of course. Since the allocations in this pool of capital are very very small vs. the accounts I use for Cestrian service ideas (typically between 10-100x smaller allocations), I can say with confidence that none of these trades will impinge in any way on the work we publish.

The first such service I am following in this account is an options model portfolio. This is a billable service on X, provided by "BananaStocks". I have followed his options ideas for a little while and found his work to be high quality. Of course the future may be completely different to the past, I don't know. I assume that any money I invest in this portfolio will go to zero, since it's options and I believe that "sizing for zero" is good risk management when trading unhedged options. If you'd like to sign up for his model portfolio service, you can do so here - just go to his X profile and hit "subscribe". For the avoidance of doubt neither Cestrian nor I personally gain any benefit should you sign up.
