By skyforbes Honestly I waste like 3 hours every day reading fed minutes, staring at yield curves, trying to predict inflation numbers. got these super detailed takes on where rates are going or what cpi's gonna do next.
but when it's time to actually put money down? I'm stuck with some janky leveraged etf that barely captures what I'm thinking or building weird options spreads that cost more than i'd make even if I nail it.
Like last month, I knew the jobs report was gonna beat expectations by a mile. nailed the call. made literally nothing because there's no clean way to bet on that without buying calls on some tech stock and praying it moves the right way.
feels like all this analysis is pointless if i can't actually trade the thesis. maybe i should just give up and buy spy calls like a normal person.
