At The Tinker Factory, we view American Campus Communities (ACC) as one of many candidates that will trade to zero. Yesterday, ACC rallied along with the rest of the market. It rallied right to the resistance level I have my eye on.

The Mathematics will be forced to face their implications

In Today’s viewing, I’ll present the second in my series on the Ten Year Bond. I own calls in the Ten Year.

The world changed from having the determinism of a clock to having the contingency of a pinball machine.

I am no stranger to predicting wild moves in volatility. Guess what? I’m back. I sold my oil puts today. What did I do with the money? I bought calls on the Ten Year. Below is a monthly chart of the Ten year (ZN) and the $VIX. If you think volatility trades higher, than you are thinking like me.

If you cannot view the ten year futures, you can look at the bond etf (TLT).

On February 7th, I mentioned the tale of the tape would resolve itself one of three ways. It was going to break UP (but that would be hard to do), be trapped in a box (No Doubt), or we’d (in the famous words of Tom Petty) BREAKDOWN. Tom Petty has prevailed. The breakdown has occurred.

Go ahead and give it to me

“No longer conscious of my movement, I discovered a new unity with nature. I had found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never dreamt existed.”
-Roger Bannister on breaking the 4-minute mile

“I was always a great bundle of energy. As a child, instead of walking, I would run. And so running, which is a pain to a lot of people, was always a pleasure to me because it was so easy.”

“The reason sport is attractive to many of the general public is that it’s filled with reversals. What you think may happen doesn’t happen. A champion is beaten, an unknown becomes a champion.”

“I lived on the top of one hill and the school was at the top of another hill. Nobody ever went to school by car-we didn’t have any cars during the war. So that to and from school was itself a training.”

“It’s a question of spreading the available energy, aerobic and anaerobic, evenly over four minutes. If you run one part too fast, you pay a price. If you run another part more slowly your overall time is slower.”

“It was a sense of relief,” says Bannister, recalling the momentous event more than 50 years later. “There was a mystique, a belief that it couldn’t be done, but I think it was more of a psychological barrier than a physical barrier.”
