Start of Summer Annual Sale! Hi all the Start of Summer Annual Sale is entering its last weekend at Dragonfly Capital. Get an annual subscription for 38.2% off or pay quarterly for 15% off. Both auto-renew at that discounted rate until you decide to leave.

After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which with the 2nd Quarter of 2024 in the books and heading into the holiday shortened week, saw equity markets showing resilience with a rebound from a pullback and large caps and tech names holding at the highs.

Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its consolidation after the record move higher while Crude Oil consolidates in a broad range. The US Dollar Index continues the short term move to the upside while US Treasuries continue in their secular downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the downtrend while Emerging Markets consolidate under long term resistance.

The Volatility Index looks to remain very low and stable making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. Their charts look strong, especially on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe both the QQQ and SPY are showing signs of a possible reset on momentum measures as both are extended. The IWM continues to lag in a long term channel. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.

From my substack: The farthing I go....

Originally uploaded to substack Nov 20, 2024

I’m sitting at my desktop, half-half asleep. I guess, that would actually be a quarter asleep.

….Gods, I really don’t care.

I didn’t sleep last night. Mostly because I slept yesterday. Mostly because I couldn’t sleep the night before. And the older I get, the harder it is becoming to fix my cycle after insomniazation. No, that’s not a real word. But it’s my word. You can use it, but I’ll have to charge you a farthing. I won’t try to collect, though, since I don’t even know if those still exist, and by the time I find out I won’t care anymore. Also, don’t confuse my made up word with insemination. It’s been too damned long since I’ve had that. Probably because my fat ass is sometimes surprisingly about eighty percent a top, but still….

My cat is sleeping on my bed, again. He won’t let me hold him, barely lets me brush him, and hates for me to pet him for more than two seconds. But I know he loves me because he has to be in the same room with me—most of the time—and he has no problem stealing the place I lay my ass down to get some Zs. Little sleep thief.

I’ve made coffee already. I’ve made a lot of coffee already. It’s only half caff, though. Better for my heart, and blah blah, and whatnot. And on the one hand, I can drink twice as much. But on the other, If I want to stay awake, I actually have to drink twice as much. And, I am well beyond that amount now. I’ve been drinking coffee since my middle school days, when I was trying to find anything that would keep me awake at school. It never actually helped. But on the good side, it likely made my insomnia very much worse than how bad it was already programmed to be.

I’d like to believe that somewhere, in some other reality, an alternate version of me slept peacefully through the whole night, last night, and woke up overflowing with grace and charm at the plumber’s butt crack of dawn to face the day. What I really believe, however, is that ever version of me is part werewolf—or an alter-equivalent—and none of us has been without sleepiness since the day we were born, spawned, grown, hatched, splurted, sprung, or baked in an over at one thousand seventy four kelvin for ninety-six hours and left on the counter to cool. And the world doesn’t help with my sleep, much. Not that it ever really has, but I can remember a time when I wasn’t trying to fall asleep through my constant thoughts about the world ending—it was about two weeks ago. Mind you, I’m not scared of the world ending. Everybody dies. Sometimes a little here and there, like every time I stupidly watch the news for more than three seconds. But eventually we’re all going to end up being not here. I don’t know how I feel about that. I’m probably going to be really afraid when it’s happening. I always kind of have been, of that. But, where ever I go after this, I don’t think the fear follows. Mostly because I’m more afraid of the experience than I am of actually being gone. Whether we wink out, join the collective, or put on robes and wings—red and black or white and gold, to be determined—once it’s done, it’s done, and there’s no more worry left to be had. Unless my fate is to become a worry god. I’m autistically and ADHDally anxious already, so I could probably do that. I’d be willing to bet I’d have tomes about my greatness written for aeons. Mostly because I’d be very angry with my worshipers if all I got was a pamphlet—very angry. And worried…because, worry god. It would be better if I could trade that in for coffee god, though. But I think Juan Valdez has that covered.

And I’ve been angry lately. Not autism-angry—well, maybe autism-angry. But angry in a generically, this fucking world sucks, kind of way. And being generically angry in a this world fucking sucks kind of way is really hard to deal with when you’re neurodivergent with PTSD. Gods, it would be nice if PTSD stood for part time submarine driver. I’d probably find a way to crash it, though, because I never got my license. So I’ll have to settle for being fucked in the head. I’d really much prefer the ass, as I’m only about eighty percent—

All this to say, I’m fucking tired. The cat won’t let me lay down. It’s only 9:56am and I shouldn’t lay down anyway. Half caff ain’t cutting it. I don’t have the energy to figure out why I used “mostly” [too] gods damned much in this post. Oh, and I forgot about the headache. Not that one. Not that one, either. No, not that one either. That doesn’t make sense. But I’m too tired to know exactly what head I mean at this point. You figure it out.

C’est la vie.

The image is a leftover from then that I don’t think I ever uploaded. You can use it for non-commercially stuff if you want. But you owe me a farthing.

month-end pasavogue

June 2024 is officially a month of wins. Not bad for a 12-year wait!

I ended June with an alignment with my second dad after a series of adulting and "inner child" errands. Akala ko patapos na talaga ang June, pero, humataw tayo sa June 30. Hindi ko pa rin ma-grasp 'yung feeling na 'to since 'di pa rin naman ako masaya, pero happy to share na I'm not that sad anymore. Hindi na rin matinde ang hagupit ng Juno spiral szn which is weird and wonderful.

The best way to encapsulate June 2024: THANKFUL AND GRACEFUL AND GRIT IS BACK OFFICIALLY. Side note: Drip of the day is my ultimate pakak sa book ko na vibe. Pink Floyd oversized shirt. Long linen white asymmetrical skirt. Mother Dragon-Baby Dragon platform kicks. Reverse cap - Taylor Swift- Reputation. Blue mid socks. Garapata tote. Circle-ish glasses because lumalabo na po ang ating paningin for realzzz. Very tomboy tayo pero naka skirt. LELS. Siguro, tama nga tatay kong pakitong-kitong. Okay lang naman umalis ng birthday week ko at lumaboy outside Manila. Pero, ako kasi, alam niya na si takas girl ako. Takas because my solo travels are usually spent watching sunrise and crying because I miss my mom. Sabi ko kasi, baka naman Pulag sea of clouds will cure it. Pulag na 'yun e. Baka naman, Siargao super early surf na saktong init lang will allow me to coast through life better. Baka naman, Sagada brew and the foggy morning will make me breathe deeper, and more intentionally. Baka naman, KL food trip na umaatikabo will enable me to taste a different flavor pampa-move on. Baka naman, Liwa-liw 10K morning walks with boxing session na umaatikabo would take me to a better place. Baka lang din ang advance June trip sa La Union kung saan may pa-seaglass hunting so early in the morning after sobrang daming alak-alak-an (LOL) ganaps will make me see life is worth living. CHOOOZZ. In fairness naman sa lahat ng nabanggit, legit core memories sila. As in. Pero, iba e. Kasi, 'yung pull ng lungkot ko sa mga trips ko na 'yan, out of this world. People usually tell me that I have epic June trips; but, deep inside, I feel like wala lang lahat ng adventures and misadventures na 'yan. It's but another shithole day, month, and year.

Sabi nga ng second dad ko, having a solid support group that I actually permit to help me kahit ayoko is something I should embrace. Pasavogue. Looking back, I thank all those who stayed even when it meant coping with my kashitan 1000000 during Juno szn. And that, life is better when there's balance in all aspects. Hindi lang sa work, pati sa life.

Syempre, sabi ko, for boomers, mas madali kasi ika nga ni Maslow, 'yung generation ng boomers, more of building the foundation of the needs. Millennials naman and even Gen Zs, rektang belonginess saka actualization levels na, in general. Hindi na kami 'yung generation na super igib or hakot-panggatong levels. Hindi rin kami 'yung generation na luluwas sa Maynila para makipagsapalaran sa ngalan ng mas maalwang buhay. Kahit middle class na lower stratus, may basics na e. Tapos, 'yung generation naman, masyadong maraming paths na puwedeng i-take. Too many options lead to weirder options and weirder paths and detours. LOL. Kasalanan ng seat sale 'to. CHZ.

Pero, 'di ibig sabihin na dahil sa sobrang daming existentialishitms, e wala ng pag-asa ang generation na masasabi kong in between the legit digital and analog world. Totoo, being part of a small and smaller circle na alam mong safe ka, lagi't lagi ang pananggalang mo sa lahat ng uri ng kabobohan mo at ng mundo mo. Lesson learned the hard, harder, and the hardest ways ako riyan. So, present na naman ako sa Row 5. LOL. Saka, talagang iba-iba ang definition ng success pero what matters is stay on your ground, your lane. Kahit na it means that you're not living by the standards of a typical millennial's road to 40. For me lang naman 'yun a.

Iniisip ko ba 'yung Year 40 ko? Yes and no. Siguro kasi andito na ako sa point (finally) na kung ano mang mga decisions ko, tanong ko lagi: Will I get closer to my life na outside Manila? Will I get better chances of paying the bills AND spending time with those who matter most? Will I be able to learn more? Will I be able to ride the wave of AI in the next 5 years all for the greater good, ganern? EMS. Hahaha.

Year 38 has not been easy. Sobrang hassle ng mga ganaps, however, I won't have any other way because METAL po talaga tayo. Ke may halong kemikal o wala. LOL. But, masasabi kong dahil nga sa daming kaguluhan, napunta ako sa isang super early morning like this one and nasabi ko sa sarili kong: Deserve ko ng mga bagay na YES ang sagot sa mga tanong ko sa taas. 'Yun lang talaga.

'Di man ako natuloy sa Japan because baka doon na lang talaga ako pumunta sa "Forbidden Forest" because ang lala ng spiral ko nung flight week na 'yan. Hahahaha. Shemay. Kahihiyan sa mga travel buddies kong nasa airport na tapos inaantay pa rin akong mag-last minute habol. Bayad na lahat ng accoms sa Tokyo. LOL. Pero, even that Japan trip is not enough to pull me outta bed.

And, looking back, I'll forever remember that experience para hindi na ulit ako mapadpad sa ganung shituation. Ako rin naman ang naglagay sa sarili ko sa ganung kalalang spiral e. Walang iba kung 'di ako kasi nga rurok ng kawalaan ko ng grit 'yang naudlot na Japan trip na 'yan. How rurok? Eto 'yung nakita ako ng tatay kong nasa ultimate meltdown chapter. Siya na nagluluto. Siya na nagbubukas ng ilaw. Siya na 'yung nagaabot sa akin ng tubig kasi ayoko nga gumalaw, literally AND figuratively. Baka nga kasi, Tokyo is not for me. CHZ. Baka nga, pang-outside Tokyo talaga ako. Pang-Shirakawago talaga. Ganern. Sabi ni dad: O, sayang naman bike trips mo doon, 'nak. Bangon na.

O 'di ba? Ang lala masyado. May shot list na ako e. Hahaha. Pero, again, Tokyo did not happen for me to actually realize that I have to go for peace of mind amidst the chaos that I chose. 'Yun lang talaga.

And, ayun na nga. Andito na tayo sa end ng H1. Kagabi, I got not 1 but 2 Harry Potter Lego sets. HAHAHAHAHA. Rurok naman ito ng 'di ko man natuloy ang epic Tokyo trip, taccaaaa, 'yung inner children ko naman, sobrang galak. Palakpak tenga. 'Yung 2 dream sets ko ng Lego, available sa suking Lego store and sa Rustan's. Thanks so much to me, myself, and I na sobrang lala ng spiral before Juno szn.

Backstory neto, simple lang. I love LEGO. As in. Everything is awesome. Ganern. Tapos, tawang-tawa kapatid ko saka tatay ko kasi nga, bakit daw kaya ko namang bumili ng Lego pero ayaw ko. Me: Kasi mahal masyado. 'Di tayo mayaman. Hahaha. Then, 'yung pangangay ng kapatid ko, mahilig na rin sa Lego ngayon. Gusto raw maging architect. LOL. Bonding namin mga Lego sets niya pero syempre, ako as a legit Batang 90s, sabi ko, ano ba 'yan? Bakit parang ang constricting naman sa free play ng Lego sets ngayon? LOL. Hala, sige. Ipilit natin sa Gen Alpha ang millennial boomer bombs ano po.

Sabi ko sa kapatid ko sa bawat hirit niya ng pagbili ko ng Lego para sa panganay niya: Huy. Ako nga walang nabili ni isang Lego sa store e. Regalo lang din sa akin 'yung humble Lego set ko since my toddler years. Kaya, 'wag ako. Bibilihan ko 'yang anak mo, 'pag meron na akong Lego for my inner children. And so... ayun na nga. Dahil sa panganay ng kapatid ko, napunta na tayo sa Lego store. And then poof. Blag. Ack. Nag-hello sa akin ang umaatikabong set ng isa sa mga pivotal scenes sa Harry Potter --Gringgots Bank. Earlier that day, 'yung sales team ng Lego branch na 'to sa suki nating Town e nagsabing 'yung Expecto Patronum set, out of stock na. Kaya nagpunta akong Rustan's para hanapin if meron pa sila doon. Short walk lang naman. 'Yung kilig ko, jusq dhzai. Oh my. Last piece. Saka syempre, ayaw natin ng reseller price. Sabi ko kay Ritz ('yung store assistant), 'wag niya na akong i-upsell kasi saktuhan lang ang budget ko. Tawang-tawa siya kasi may isa akong nakitang set na hindi Harry Potter pero shared favorite namin ng kapatid ko na Disney character. Hindi Disney princess 'to.

So, ayun. Dinner with dad and my brother to cover very important and urgent matters na 'pag may nalaman akong alingangas, pipitpitin ko talaga at paguumpog ulo nilang mag-ama. With sampiga pa. Sabi ng kapatid ko, maka-asta raw ako, parang nanay kong dragon. HAHAHAHA. Then, syempre, bilang bunsong manipulative, ni-joke ako na: O, nakabili ka ng Expecto Patronum. Bilhan mo na rin pamangkin mo. Hahahaha. Tacccaaa.

So, ayun. Punta kaming Lego store ulit tapos nag-hello nga 'yung Gringgots. Pinapahanap ko kasi ito sa HK and SG sa tulong ng ating mga tagapagbantay expat friends. LELS. E, waw. Andun lang pala all along. CHZ. Again, hindi siya sa presyo lang a. Sobrang tagal kong inantay 'tong moment na 'to as a fan girl of Harry Potter since 13 years old. From those days na hiram-hiram ako sa library ng bagong books kasi wala talaga akong pambili kahit mag-ipon pa ako sa baon ko or whatever. To the point na 'yung mismong masungit na librarian, gumagawa ng paraan na ako ang unang pipirma sa library card kasi favorite niya akong taga-borrow ng Harry Potter books. HAHAHAHA. Alam mo 'yung feeling ng fresh page tapos 'yung amoy ng new book? 'Yun talaga habol ko e.

Then, ayun. 14 going 40 seems to be on track. LOL. Syempre, 'yung pamangkin ko, McLaren ang nakuha. HAHAHAHA. Tapos may 294 points pang baon. Sabi ko sa kapatid ko, 'yung 294 points na ang pamasko nung anak niya from me. Wala na. Sarado na ang tindahan. HAHAHAHA. Sabi pa niya: Wow. Sana all nakakabili ng Lego just like that. Me: Ulol. Anak ka kasi ng anak. Hahahahaha. BOOGSH. Case fucking closed.

Sa moment na 'to narealize ko na sobrang layo talaga ng belief systems namin ng kapatid ko. SINK ako - Single Income, No Kids. Siya naman, legit na pangarap maging padre de familia ordinaryo. HAHAHAHA. Pero, 'di ibig sabihin nun e, one is better than the other. Sabi pa niya: Naku, need mong may pamanahan ng mga Lego mo, ate. Me: Andyan naman si GC (anak niya) sa tamang panahon e. Saka gusto mo bang 'wag ko na lang bilhin 'yang Lego na 'yan ha? Puwede namang hindi.

Ayun. Ended June with a boogsh na akala ko e SG or HK ko pa matutunton. LOL. Hahahaha. Nasa Pinas lang pala. Baka need ko lang talagang piliin lagi ang Pinas. Abangan! PS: LF ka-tag team bumuo ng Lego. 'Yung 'di maarte. 'Yung gusto ng walang tulugan. Ayoko ng palautos saka mainit ang ulo. Slide a DM and your letter of intent. CHZ. Plus, pros and cons bakit ikaw. Paki lagay na rin mga kahinaan at kabobohan mong taglay para wala na akong masyadong probing q's. 'Yung may moral compass pero may kagaguhang taglay. Bonus points sa langit 'pag pumupulot ng poops at nagpupunas ng wiwi ng mga aso with feelings. K. TNX. LATERS.

Wednesday News & Notes from Ocala Horse Properties

Happening this week – the 2024 $100,000 Conceal Grand-Prix Eventing Showcase at Bruce’s Field, presented by Taylor, Harris Insurance Services (GPE) Organizing Committee and the Aiken Horse Park Foundation.

Making the podium at all five editions of the event – and scoring a hattrick of wins – Liz Halliday has three chances to defend her title, with Cooley Quicksilver (winner of the 4*S at Kentucky last season), Cooley Nutcracker (winner of two 4*L events in 2023) and last year’s champ (and Kentucky 5* third place finisher) Miks Master C all set to take their turn in the start box. It’s tough to bet against her, but with a super-stellar lineup, the competition is hot hot hot!

We’ll see all the US big hitters – the likes of Phillip Dutton, Will Coleman, Buck Davidson, Will Faudree and Lillian Heard Wood, who all bring two rides, with Boyd Martin and Doug Payne each having three shots at the title. And the list goes on… Maryland 5* winner Austin O’Connor is over from Ireland, and there are not one but two 2023 Pan-Am Games gold medalists in the form of Caroline Pamukcu (individual gold) and Canada’s Coleen Loach (team gold). There are just too many top contenders to mention here – one thing’s for sure, we’re in for a stacked competition and we can’t wait!

The action kicks off with dressage at 8am EST on Friday, followed by show jumping at 3pm. The cross country gets underway on Saturday at 12:30pm. You can watch it all play out live on H&C+ (subscription required) and we’ll of course be bringing you everything you need to know – keep it locked onto EN and follow @goeventing as we dive into the 2024 season.

Also of note: Today is National Public Sleeping Day, which, to my understanding, means that it’s entirely legal – and indeed encouraged – for you to take a nap, wherever and whenever the Zs take you. Think staff meetings, while waiting in line, during particularly boring conversations you’d rather not be having – please not in the saddle. Apparently Oliver Townend snatches forty winks between cross country rounds at 5* events, which makes it totally plausible for me to round this off by saying go eventing, and nap.

Wednesday News and Reading

We’re kicking off today’s News and Reading with a couple of cool opportunities – first up the chance to have your event horse’s conformation critiqued by former USEA YEH Championship judge Chris Ryan. All you need to do is send a conformation photo and short video of your horse – straight on and from the side – being led at walk and trot to [email protected] and it’ll be considered as part of the USEA’s Conformation Critique series. You only have ‘til Wednesday March 6th, so cameras at the ready and have at it.

Next up, bookings are open for British Eventing’s webinar with Sally Mcginn from Mind Oddessey, where she’ll be talking all things reflection. From making balanced reflections and dealing with post competition blues to identifying strengths and working on the gaps, the session sounds like it’ll be super helpful for those of us who are striving towards competition aspirations as well as less competitive but thoughtful riders who use reflection to improve their performance when working towards goals at home. The webinar will take place on March 14th at 7pm GMT and costs £15.

And while we’re on the topic of things coming up – what better way to celebrate an extra day this year than to get quizzy with it? In aid of the British Eventing Support Trust but absolutely open to anyone around the world who enjoys getting quizzical, this leap year quiz night is sure to be a blast – and there’s a trophy at stake. If I win, can I claim it as an eventing win? My general knowledge may not be quite so general as it could be, but I’ve for sure got a better chance of winning a quiz than an event. If you’re up for the competition, you need to register to receive the Zoom link, which you can do right here. The questions will be comin’ at ya from 7pm GMT / 2pm EST tomorrow (February 29th). See you there.

With a bunch of medals to his name, including Olympic gold, US based British eventer and USEF Emerging and Development Coach Leslie Law is a voice we listen to when it comes to training tips. 17-year-old Austin Skeens got to do just that in person when he had the opportunity to train with Leslie as part of the USEF E18 training program, and lucky for us, he’s shared what he learned. With tips for all three phases, from straightness in dressage and nailing your show jumping warm up to making good choices for your horse on the cross country, there’s lots here for us all to take away and work on.

Yes, we’re once more revisiting the phenomenon that is Shane Rose’s mankini – which is apparently not one of the silliest riding costumes ever seen. A research poll conducted by the ‘Chillax Institute’ has concluded that the scrap of neon orange was actually a rather fitting choice, given its aerodynamic properties and the weather in Australia at this time of year. And as far as the accolade of ‘silliest riding costume’ goes, Shane’s mankini didn’t even make the top-five on the list. It’s probably time we put ‘mankini-gate’ to bed, but there’s for sure one more laugh to be had in this satirical jaunt.

And finally… Saving the best / weirdest / most hilarious ‘til last, I present to you donkey basketball. Yes, really. It’s basically basketball on donkey-back, and the justification for such an intriguing addition to the sport is the added unpredictability these stubborn equines bring to the game. You will see plenty of planting. You probably won’t see a donkey doing a slam dunk. (If you’re in any doubt that this is a thing, here’s proof.)

Video Break

We’re so lucky to be involved in a sport where age and sex pose relatively limited barriers to not only enjoying the sport, but also competing at the highest levels within it. From show jumping legend John Whittaker, who’s still at the top of his game aged 68, to eventing’s own eight-time Olympian, Andrew Hoy, aged 65, and long-time hero Pippa Funnell, who’s smashing it for the horsegirls at 55, there are many shining examples of the longevity that equestrian sports provide athletes. At the other end of the scale are competitors such as Sky Brown, Britain’s youngest ever summer Olympian, who won a bronze medal in skateboarding in Tokyo. Here’s what went down when King of Dressage Carl Hester met the young talent:
