“Don’t short into a three-day weekend. How many times do I have to say it?”
Alright folks, Garrett’s back from the long weekend, a little sunburnt, a little under-caffeinated, but laser-focused.
And yes, he opens the day holding up a New York Post headline from the vault — because even the news cycle is cyclical.
But the real story? The market rallied, and anyone who got too cute on the short side… got steamrolled.
Key Points:
Garrett’s Glowing — And Not From the Market
- Poolside all weekend, no sunscreen — sunburned, not surprised.
- But it’s a perfect metaphor: don’t ignore obvious risk, or you’ll get burned.
S&P Opens Strong — Shorts Get Squeezed
- Anyone who shorted into the weekend is feeling it.
- Garrett walks through his mix — short Lyft, long RadNet — and how the post-holiday shift reset the tape.
The Weekend Rule: Policy Changes Everything
- This is why Garrett warns: never short into a 3-day weekend.
- Things change fast — especially in DC and at the Fed.
You want to short? Cool. But not on a Friday before a holiday.
This is the kind of day that rewards preparation, not prediction. Let’s trade accordingly.
Until next time,
Garrett Baldwin
