After taking a painful lesson to heart, I finally cut my losses today and closed yesterday’s $IDOL short position. I went over the price action from before again and again, and wanted to say this to Teacher Zhuang:

Teacher Zhuang, I’m sorry. I said you were clueless before, but actually, I’m the clueless one.

I’ve switched from bearish to bullish. To show a little appreciation, I opened a long position. Here’s why:

1. The funding rate is now at 0.09%, so much like it was before you pumped the market last night.

2. I know you’re in Europe, and the big boss behind #IDOL is in the UK. 3 a.m. in the UTC+8 time zone is your peak working hours—and when Asian retail investors are fast asleep—making it convenient for you to tend to your fields.

Based on that, I opened a 1000U long position. If you think it’s worth your while, you can dump the price in one go and use it as nourishment for the great Meet48 girl group. If you think I’ve buttered you up nicely, please keep pumping the market like you did last night.

Good night, Teacher Zhuang. I’m making my order details public—please accept them with a smile.
