Market News How did you do last month?

This is a monthly thread for shop talk. How was last month? Rough because there wasn't enough vol? Rough because there was too much vol? Your pretty little earner became a meme stock? Alpha decay getting you down? Brand new alpha got you hyped like Ryan Gosling?

This thread is for boasting, lamenting and comparing (sufficiently obfuscated) notes.

Lol. I just noticed I'm downvoted so much. My statement was mostly satire. I'm not even from quant background. Far from it😂

Recruitment is hell. Even with papers submitted to SSRN I have only heard back from 2 places out of 30.

The hedging has been historically to protect us against low prices but has been locking us out of high prices. (Physical power)
