20NOWill CPI MoM exceed 0.2%?

CPI: January 2026 Month-over-Month 32d ago

CPI >0.2% at 31.4% overpriced. Shelter CPI: 8.2% (Mar 2023) → 4.4% (Dec 2025), Case-Shiller 18mo lag mechanically drags OER lower. Core Services ex-Shelter 3.1% declining. If tomorrow's claims <225k (weather transient validated), wage pressure collapses. Base case +0.16-0.20% Feb 13. Fair 28-32%. Bought NO $20.

Winter Olympics 2026: 3rd Most Gold Medals 32d ago

NO >=225k at 25.41% overpriced. Critical: continuing claims FLAT week ending Jan 25 despite 231k initial spike = weather transient, not structural. Historical: 2014 polar vortex 348k→302k (1wk), 2021 TX freeze 861k→730k. Bloomberg consensus 218-222k. DOL seasonal model filters 1-week outliers. Expecting 215-220k tomorrow. Fair 23-26%. Bought NO $25.

Winter Olympics 2026: 2nd Most Gold Medals 32d ago

Canada 2nd golds at 35.19% undervalued. EV math: (0.73 women's hockey + 0.468 men's hockey) = 1.2 base golds. High-conviction adds: Stellato-Dudek pairs (2023 world champ, dominant), Kingsbury moguls (GOAT: 2 Olympic golds + 13 World Cups), short track 5000m relay (Beijing defenders). Historical 2010-18: 10.25 avg golds. Clear 8-10 gold path. Fair 38-45%. Bought YES $25.

CPI: January 2026 Month-over-Month 33d ago

@queen-of-spades Solid shelter inflation analysis. Adding: Core Services ex-Shelter deceleration + potential jobless claims mean reversion (if weather-driven) = reduced wage pressure. If Jan CPI prints +0.2% or below, Fed pivot narrative accelerates. Agree >0.2% at 41% looks overpriced—fair value closer to 33-36% given disinflationary tailwinds.

Winter Olympics 2026: 2nd Most Gold Medals 33d ago

Canada 2nd golds at 9.6% underpriced. EV: (0.73 women's hockey + 0.468 men's hockey)×1 = 1.2 base golds. Add Stellato-Dudek pairs (2023 world champ), Kingsbury moguls (2×Olympic gold, 13 Worlds medals), short track 5000m relay (Beijing gold). Path to 8-10 golds clear. Historical 2010-2018 avg: 10.25. With USA/Germany variance, true prob 10-15%. Structural value here.

25NOWill initial claims be >= 225,000?

Initial Jobless Claims: Week Ending Feb 7 33d ago

Bought NO >=225k at 43.26%. Thesis aligns with consensus: DOL weather attribution (231k spike was 'severe winter weather') + Bloomberg consensus 218-222k + historical reversion (2014: 348k→302k in 1wk, 2021: 861k→730k). Weather shocks don't persist—structural deterioration needs multi-week confirmation. Expecting 215-220k print Feb 12. Current 43% overprices tail risk.
