Kenneth Farrow might be a worthwhile pickup if your lacking a solid player to fill your flex spot and, according to Fantasy Pros, he's only 58% owned.

Happy New Year all!

Can't wait for April!

1. Jacksonville Jaguars - Kayvon Thibodeaux, DE

Aidan Hutchinson has been getting the hype as of late, but I think if the Jaguars make this pick it will be Thibodeaux. Especially after teams get to see KT doing drills. He is a truly special athlete for the position and would provide an incredible duo with Josh Allen. Help for Trevor Lawrence would be ideal, but there is no offensive position worth the pick.

2. Detroit Lions - Aidan Hutchinson, DE

Lions get Hutchinson, and they could not be more elated. This second pick is the easiest in the draft, as you take the other defensive end that is available. Both appear to be extremely strong defensive players to build a team around.

3. Houston Texans - George Karlaftis, DE

A draft has never started with three consecutive defensive ends, but I think 2022 breaks that weird record. Mills has shown enough that he deserves an offseason and start next season (plus if it doesn't work out, the 2023 QBs appear much better). So all Houston can do is select the best player available. It would likely be between Hamilton and Karlaftis, and either would be a great pick. I think they go Karlaftis here.

4. New York Jets - Evan Neal, OT

The Jets would have loved a DE, but in this scenario they miss out. The defensive side of the ball is a must, but also building around Zach Wilson is incredibly important. Neal is a very versatile, stud offensive linemen. If Becton can turn it around and AVT holds down a guard spot, Neal would make this offensive lines one of the league's best.

5. New York Giants - Matt Corral, QB

I know everyone is going to yell at me about the quarterbacks in this class, and I truly agree. They aren't special. But I am a true believer that there are four QBs in this class that teams can really talk themselves into. Whether it is the floor or ceiling, each one has something intriguing about them. I know the Giants said they will commit to Daniel Jones for next season, but I think that really only adds to why they would select Corral here. Corral would sit next season, with maybe a game or two of action, and would not be thrusted in to start. Plus as of today, the Giants have two top ten picks. They should take advantage of this and take the gamble on Corral.

6. Carolina Panthers - Charles Cross, OT

I think one of the veteran QBs ends up in Carolina. Cross appears primed to be a great NFL left tackle, of which the Panthers desperately need.

7. TRADE Denv

I mentioned at the top of my previous mock draft post that one person mocks are fun, but they don't bring much to the table. It only allows you to see one perspective and wouldn't resemble many of your real drafts very closely at all. So I reached out to some of my favorite posters on this sub and through the glory of the internet, we mock drafted together. This is how it went.

1.01 Breece Hall, RB Iowa State (BirdSemen)

I know a lot of people are going to be upset that I didn't draft a QB. This was a tough call at the 1.01 between Breece Hall and Treylon Burks. I will likely flop between the two throughout the offseason. Gave Hall the nod this time due to RB positional scarcity. Hall is a good all-purpose RB with a nose for the endzone. I see him as an RB2 floor with Top 5 RB upside.

1.02 Treylon Burks, WR Arkansas (Killtec7)

A program defining career for the Razorback receiver. On top of an excellent college career, he will test ‘good enough’ at minimum. Solid profile including an early breakout against quality competition, and quality performance against man coverage. Don’t overthink it. If nothing changes between now and May–draft Treylon.

1.03 Matt Corral QB, Ole Miss (Swoody11)

When I was going through the pre-draft process, I remember saying “I generally don’t like touching QB’s from this class before 1.04.” Well… Here we are. What this pick comes down to, for me, is being more afraid of losing Corral and being “stuck” with any of the other guys if I pass on him at 1.03. I love Corral’s legs (very underrated part of his game) and think that his escapability will help him grow into a more refined passer at the NFL level. His ceiling is pretty high in my opinion but more importantly, I think he has a real floor as a stable NFL starter. I can’t say the same for any other prospects in this class, minus maybe Pickett.

1.04 Kenneth Walker III, RB Michigan State (Slyger_Woods)

I’ve started souring on Spiller just a little bit. On top of that, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Walker be the first RB off the board come draft day. I don’t think anyone is doubting Walker’s talent on the ground and from what I’ve seen I think he can offer a good enough receiving game to keep him on the field as often as possible. I was tempted to grab my WR2 Garret Wilson here, but positional scarcity brings Walker up a little further.

1.05 Isaiah Spiller, RB Texas A&M (BirdSemen)

With Burks gone I don’t see a need to attack the WR position a

Took everyone's feedback into consideration.

ROUND 1

1. Detroit: Aidan Hutchinson, EDGE, Michigan; Detroit picks a homegrown talent with the proven production to continue its years-long rebuild. Hutchinson has the size, power and speed to succeed at the NFL level.
2. Jacksonville: Evan Neal, OT, Alabama; Jacksonville needs to keep Trevor Lawrence upright, and Neal is a 6'7, 360lb specimen who can do just that. With Cam Robinson scheduled to leave in FA, Neal is a mighty tantalizing prospect with the potential upside of a massive upgrade long-term.
3. Houston: Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon; There's one thing Houston has prioritized early and often, it's the front seven. Eight of Houston's eighteen first round picks have been along the defensive trenches, with names like JJ Watt, Whitney Mercilus and Amobi Okoye. Thibodeaux is a generational prospect who can become a franchise player in Houston.
4. New York J: Derek Stingley Jr., CB, LSU; A lights-out cornerback prospect who can hang with the very best of them. Head coach Robert Saleh must be giddy at the chance to draft a talent with the potential to become the next Darrelle Revis.
5. New York G: Ikem Ekwonu, OT, North Carolina State; The Giants now have the league's worst offensive line after LAC has largely fixed its own issues by drafting Rashawn Slater and signing Corey Linsley. Ekwonu is a rock solid prospect who can help keep Daniel Jones upright.
6. New York G: George Karlaftis, EDGE, Purdue; The Giants also need a pass-rushing force opposite rookie Azeez Ojulari, and Karlaftis is the third of the big 4 pass rushers in the top 10 who can terrorize opposing quarterbacks.
7. New York J: David Ojabo, EDGE Michigan; Ojabo is a high-upside prospect who can help the other New York team complete a defensive line that's been excellent at penetrating opposing inside offensive lines, but not so much along the edges.
8. Carolina: Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss; I'm not sure QB is the right move for Carolina here personally, but it's definitely something an impatient Matt Rhule would do. In 2 years he's gotten rid of Cam Newton, got his replacement, got rid of said replacement, got another replacement, benched that replacement and brought back Newton. Corral is a prospect with a proven arm in CFB's toughest conference.
9. Atlanta: Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame; Atlanta is one to go BPA here, as it did with Pitts in 2021. Hamilton is a safety with rare length and ball skills, and he could be a terrorizing force

| Every Rashaad Penny Play: Weeks 1 - 14 |

With the Seahawks RB corps decimated by injuries, Penny came through with a career day. The 4th-year RB saw 16 carries, which he turned into 137 rushing yards, and 2 touchdowns (all career highs). It’s important to point out why this type of performance might not be repeatable right now, but it’s also important to value Penny higher than most waiver fodder, now that we know this kind of performance is possible.

~

Penny saw a 57% snap rate, one of the highest that any Seattle RB has logged in 2021. His carry total of 16 has only been surpassed by a Seahawks RB once this season, when Alex Collins saw 20 carries in Week 6. Also, Week 14’s matchup was one of the best possible scenarios for Penny. The Texans defense has been one of the most forgiving to RBs this season, and they have now given up the most rushing yards to RBs in the entire league. Week 15’s matchup with the Rams is nowhere near as appealing, and Penny will likely see more competition for touches this time around.

~

Adrian Peterson and Travis Homer are both in the mix to return for Week 15, and Alex Collins figures to be a larger factor than he was in Week 14. Collins was coming off of a groin injury that forced him to miss Week 13, and his 23% snap rate was his lowest since Week 1. Considering that the picture will likely be murky leading into Week 15, Penny will be extremely hard to trust. However, he is worth a stash due to his upside, and the fact that this situation could be very different by the time Week 17’s matchup with the Lions takes place. There is a non-zero chance that

Ahoy ye mateys! What’s that over yonder on the horizon? Futures Island?! Land ho!

The announcement of container shipping futures has gone seemingly unnoticed, but I believe we should be paying much more attention than we are. This announcement has prompted me to provide a brief update on the state of the trade since my Starter Pack released 6 months ago in June , and to discuss what I believe will be the impact of this announcement. Even if you have no intention of trading futures, this should impact your favourite shipping stocks. If you are uninterested in being a degenerate, you will be able to use futures to hedge out some of the risk involved in buying shipping companies.

An Update on the State of the Trade

Skip this if you're up to date on the shipping trade

Last time I touched on this was six months ago, and the macro factors have mostly played out as expected while stock performance has played out worse than expected. I did a quick re-read of that DD and while it’s too early to say that the macro environment content has been vindicated, I can’t help but feel proud that my analysis has played out to this point. In fact, I was actually too conservative and shipping rates continued to moon. I just would have preferred if the ZIM stock price did too.

That said, we all know the ZIM stock price is ridiculous. At the time I originally posted the DD in June ZIM was trading at roughly $45. It’s since had about $15 in EPS (net of $4.50 dividend payments) added to the balance sheet, with only a $6 increase in share price appreciation. Think about this: if you were kicking yourself for not buying when ZIM crashed to $35 in mid-July, the increase in assets on the balance sheet since then is equivalent to buying ZIM at $36 in mid-July.

On the supply side, the orderbook of container shipping companies has expanded to 23.5% of the Industry Orderbook-to-Fleet ratio (Slide 24 of DAC's Q3 Earnings Presentation). Of this, the new capacity in the entire orderbook is almost solely

#Bannon’s indictment

A federal grand jury indicted former Trump advisor Steve Bannon on Friday for failing to comply with a congressional subpoena. Charged with two counts of contempt of Congress (pdf), Bannon has turned himself in on Monday and will be arraigned tomorrow.

Bannon was issued a subpoena on Sept. 23, 2021, from the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, seeking information regarding his involvement in the insurrection (pdf):

>The Select Committee has reason to believe that you have information relevant to understanding important activities that led to and informed the events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. For example, you have been identified as present at the Willard Hotel on January 5, 2021, during an effort to persuade Members of Congress to block the certification of the election the next day, and in relation to other activities on January 6. You are also described as communicating with then-President Trump...urging him to plan for and focus his efforts on January 6. Moreover, you are quoted as stating, on January 5, 2021, that "[a]ll hell is going to break loose tomorrow." Accordingly, the Select Committee seeks both documents and your deposition testimony regarding these and multiple other matters that are within the scope of the Select Committee's inquiry.

Bannon defaulted on the October 7 deadline, claiming he would not comply with the subpoena because former President Donald Trump had claimed executive privilege over the records and testimony sought by the Committee. This was a flimsy excuse considering the fact that Bannon did not work for the federal government during the time frame in question. Executiv

Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening Apes!

Happy Tuesday. Hope you are all had a fantastic weekend relaxing and taking it easy.

AN INTRODUCTION

First of all – an introduction. I will need to be vague about certain parts but will endeavour to introduce myself best I can. I have worked as a journalist in media at all levels from local newspapers & TV stations – all the way to the national & international stage. I have travelled around the world and reported on every major news event you could imagine. I have also won numerous international awards around the world for my work.

I am more than happy to verify my identity to mods of r/Superstonk to help give this post a little more authority and meaning. In fact I would encourage someone from the mod team to reach out because I don't want to be labelled as a fake.

WHY ARE YOU MAKING THIS POST?

I wanted to put together some thoughts and share with you those thoughts. These include thoughts about the work being done here, the level of research & quality. I also wanted to dive a little deeper into why you are seeing the media act the way they are, and why this story is not the front page of every newspaper or lead story on every TV network on the planet. I want this to be a bit of a different DD - a "cultural DD" rather than a technical DD , so I can try and explain what is happening in the media at the moment, and how we got here.

FIRST OF ALL – CONGRATULATIONS

Firstly – I want to congratulate the research and DD writers on this sub.

Without a doubt – the quality of DD, research and investigative journalism that is on display here is unlike any I have seen in my career.

If the system wasn’t corrupt to its core – some of you would be, in my opinion, in line for some of the most prestigious awards and accolades for investigative journalism (more on that latter)

Once again, I will reiterate. The kind of DD & in-depth analysis that we are seeing in documents like House of Cards is some of the most well thought out, researched and important information I have ever seen. If you knew the stories I have been involved in, you would understand the weight of this statement.

What is being discussed here on this sub is the most important thing in the world right now. We have stumbled across the largest criminal racket on the planet, in history. It affects every single person, and the criminality and corruption is something that has stolen trillons of dollars from billions of people

Welcome back to Dyansty Stock Market. Why the fuck do I support the Jets? I ask myself this every week. Anyway, now I can focus on actually watching other games now that Wilson is dead #TankForKayvon, but we got SB MVP Joey Flacco back. All my dynasty teams are dying before my eyes to injuries, but at least Kupp is a god.

I'm calling this week's edition the QB2 wasteland of Superflex leagues. Remember when we thought the market was flooding preseason? Yeah, we are all dumb as hell. I'm going to put an emphasis this week on QBs for our hurting SF players.

Primer

During the season, dynasty values fluxuate so rapidly that it can almost be seen as a stock market (hence the name of this post). The goal of this weekly post to help capitalize on this to help you game the market with buy/sells. Buying and selling at the right time during the season can give you huge advantages that just aren't possible in the more stable offseason when values are pretty universal.

My sources for this are content on this subreddit, KTC, and DynastyNerds Trade Browser. Assume all talks are Superflex Leagues. If you play in a 1QB league, just add a slight discount to all draft picks. These are also my own biased opinion based on film scouting and watching a fuckton of football, so nothing here is fact.

Anyway, onto this week's players!

Weekly Buys

Van Jefferson

He was one of my loves as a prospect in 2020 - runs great routes and has nice release off the line. He ended up getting 2nd round draft capital in 2020, and it was always pretty obvious he wouldn't have much value until Reynolds left. I said to buy him in week 5, but he's already emerged, with TDs in 2 games and 4+ targets in 5/7 games. McVay also loves him.

Bobby Trees has an out after this year - something they might need to leverage to sign Stafford. Rams are and will stay in cap hell, so any player on this offense is who is on a rookie deal is a good buy. I expect Van to take a huge step forward in 2022.

Trade Targets

Every person in my sell list (not the expensive guys) is a target for Van. His average price is wildly varying, but the range is from Alex Collins to as high as 2 2nd round picks or Damien Harris. I can't really exactly nail his price, but I'd pay on the upper end of the range. I'd try not to though. Instead, I'll just list off some recent trades:

• Van + 2022 1st + 2nd for AB and Kenyan Drake
• Van + 2022 2nd for Zack Moss
• Van for 2022 2nd
• Van for Zach Ertz
• Van for Adam Thi

Do your worst!

It really does, I swear!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

TL;DR

Made all-time hometown rosters with original 30 NBA teams + 25 new teams to split populated areas and big teams (spreadsheet + map)

Player Pool and Team Pool

I used the top 969 players who have at least 10000 minutes played in their career.

Why 10000 minutes played? Because that's the lower standard set by Basketball-Reference to get on their ABA career leaderboard (15000 MP for NBA). I added George Mikan, because even though he hasn't played enough minutes, he's featured in All-Time ESPN NBARank and Bill Simmons Hall of Fame Pyramid.

I started off with the current 30 teams. To split up the Lakers and Clippers, I gave the Clippers their proposed Inglewood site.

As I looked at the map of player hometowns, I realized that there were:

• some areas that had a lot of players, but few close NBA teams
• some areas that had bloated rosters with too many players

Based off city population and arena size, I added 25 new teams.

• I obviously had to give Seattle their team back
• Birmingham, North Little Rock and Shreveport helped to split up the South
• Pittsburgh and St. Louis were big cities without teams
• Berkeley added to siphon off San Francisco
  • if I add Oakland, it takes away too many players
• Anaheim and Westwood added in Southern California (Clippers & Lakers)
• Winston-Salem and Raleigh to pare down Charlotte
• Lansing to prune Detroit
• 2nd Atlanta team in suburb of College Park
• 2nd Washington team and Baltimore
• 2 more teams in Chicago (Rosemont and South Side) + a team in Gary
• 2nd Indiana team + Louisville & Lexington
• 2nd Philadelphia team in suburb of Wynnewood
• 3 more teams in the New York Area (Newark, Queens and Long Island)

The Method

I started off gathering hometowns due to this fantastic database by Reuben Fischer-Baum ([original article source here](https://deadspin.com/infographics-where-do-pro-basketball-players-come-from-5132615

Hey there, dildos and dildettes. I normally keep my DD to myself and my friends, but if I can convince my cautious anchor to reality that GME is going to the moon, maybe I can help you do the same.

If you don't have someone keeping you grounded and real, you should. Fiery passion only beats cold hard facts in Julie Garwood novels and succubus hentai.

OBV

OBV = On Balance Volume and typically it follows the price movement closer than Citadel interns follow this sub for the latest image of Kenneth as an alien covered in nipples. (You fuckin weirdos)

Here's the OBV on some stocks that mean something to normal bipedal hominids:

FB

NIO

AAPL

SPY

Very clearly you can see that the price movement and the OBV need to get a room. Now let's look at the OBV of GME. It should have the same line as the one on your RH homepage right?

DatBoi OBV

Fuckin WRONG. Now I know what you're thinking:

>But u/OverlordHippo how can you call us dildos when you didn't even crop your screenshots.

Blow me, I just realized it and I'm not redoing it.

So, what's the formula that turns numbers into lines here? Come on now, let's not pretend you'd understand it. Think of it like this though; There are daily posts showing the buy/sell ratio being a win for the Apes. The OBV confirms that.

What does this mean? Look at the GME picture again and imagine the price movement continuing the way it should have without the good old fashioned HF fuckery. It looks like it should be sitting around $550.

That's $550 without any shorts covering. Shorts covering equals = buying. Buying = price goes up. OBV shows buying is dominant, yet price goes down = shorting enough not to just stop it from going up, but to push it down significantly. Tits = Jacked.

Beta

We're not talking about your personality here. We're talking about a stocks relationship with the rest of the market. The market beta value is hard set at a value of 1.

If a stock has a Beta value greater than 1, it's price will move in relation to the market's movement, but to a greater degree. If a stock has a Beta value lesser than 1, it's price will still move in relation to the market's, but to a lesser degree. It's rare, but a stock can have a negative beta, which means that it has an inverse relationship with the market.

##Wall Street’s Naked Swindle

MATT TAIBBI APRIL 06, 2010

Karin Cooper/Getty

On Tuesday, March 11th, 2008, somebody — nobody knows who —made one of the craziest [automod buffer] b3ts Wall Street has ever seen. The mystery figure spent $1.7 million on a series of options, gambling that shares in the venerable investment bank Bear Stearns would lose more than half their value in nine days or less. It was madness — “like buying 1.7 million lottery tickets,” according to one financial analyst.

But what’s even crazier is that the bet paid.

At the close of business that afternoon, Bear Stearns was trading at $62.97. At that point, whoever made the gamble owned the right to sell huge bundles of Bear stock, at $30 and $25, on or before March 20th. In order for the bet to pay, Bear would have to fall harder and faster than any Wall Street brokerage in history.

The very next day, March 12th, Bear went into free fall. By the end of the week, the firm had lost virtually all of its cash and was

1. Detroit: Aidan Hutchinson, EDGE, Michigan; Detroit picks a homegrown talent with the proven production to continue its years-long rebuild. Hutchinson has the size, power and speed to succeed at the NFL level.
2. Jacksonville: Evan Neal, OT, Alabama; Jacksonville needs to keep Trevor Lawrence upright, and Neal is a 6'7, 360lb specimen who can do just that. With Cam Robinson scheduled to leave in FA, Neal is a mighty tantalizing prospect with the potential upside of a massive upgrade long-term.
3. Houston: Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon; There's one thing Houston has prioritized early and often, it's the front seven. Eight of Houston's eighteen first round picks have been along the defensive trenches, with names like JJ Watt, Whitney Mercilus and Amobi Okoye. Thibodeaux is a generational prospect who can become a franchise player in Houston.
4. New York J: Derek Stingley Jr., CB, LSU; A lights-out cornerback prospect who can hang with the very best of them. Head coach Robert Saleh must be giddy at the chance to draft a talent with the potential to become the next Darrelle Revis.
5. New York G: Ikem Ekwonu, OT, North Carolina State; The Giants now have the league's worst offensive line after LAC has largely fixed its own issues by drafting Rashawn Slater and signing Corey Linsley. Ekwonu is a rock solid prospect who can help keep Daniel Jones upright.
6. New York G: George Karlaftis, EDGE, Purdue; The Giants also need a pass-rushing force opposite rookie Azeez Ojulari, and Karlaftis is the third of the big 4 pass rushers in the top 10 who can terrorize opposing quarterbacks.
7. New York J: David Ojabo, EDGE Michigan; Ojabo is a high-upside prospect who can help the other New York team complete a defensive line that's been excellent at penetrating opposing inside offensive lines, but not so much along the edges.
8. Carolina: Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss; I'm not sure QB is the right move for Carolina here personally, but it's definitely something an impatient Matt Rhule would do. In 2 years he's gotten rid of Cam Newton, got his replacement, got rid of said replacement, got another replacement, benched that replacement and brought back Newton. Corral is a prospect with a proven arm in CFB's toughest conference.
9. Atlanta: Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame; Atlanta is one to go BPA here, as it did with Pitts in 2021. Hamilton i

I know everyone is celebrating their League Championships, but Week 18-ers deserve love too!

If you play in a league that has a Week 18 Championship, shame on your league commissioner.

To be fair, with the new NFL Playoff seeding, fewer teams than usual will be resting players due to positioning being secured. However, the final week of the regular season is always a bit of a gamble in terms of player usage, especially among teams who are eliminated from playoff contention.

That being said, I didn’t quite know how to tackle this post for Week 18, so I decided to keep it simple, and try not to overthink it too much. There will be players who randomly get a ton of playing time, and there will be players who randomly get no playing time. You have to accept that, and just try to follow the trends as if Week 18 were any other week. Obviously there are certain factors that you can take into account, but you need to keep an eye out for any news as the week progresses, and pre-game inactive/warmup reports will be crucial this week.

Good luck to everybody who is still playing this week! Hopefully this season’s finale, in the midst of a COVID hellscape, will be enough to convince you or your commish to make the switch to a Week 17 Championship.

I already said my goodbyes in last week's waiver post, but the basic gist of it is that these posts will be back for the 2022 season, as will the Every Play videos, and the in-depth player breakdown videos, in addition to the random posts that will drop every now and then.

First mock draft of the year. I used the TDN mock draft thing so if the picks are a bit out of order, blame them. If it seems like I know nothing about your team, I probably dont. Its halfway through the season, so cut me a little slack ok?

1. Detroit Lions - Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon - Thibodeaux has been the consensus best player in this class since last year, and he hasnt really dont anything to make me think that he shouldn't go one. Detroit is clearly building up the lines, and Thibodeaux should provide a great threat off the EDGE for the hapless franchise.

2. Houston Texans - Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida - This is an absolutely awful spot for the Texans. The QB crop this year is mediocre, most of the blue chip guys are at places the Texans have decent players at, and the only player I would call a safe bet is off the board. I think the Texans punt on QB this year for another year of Tyrod and Mills. With that, I'm going to go out on a limb and have the Texans select the big CB out of Florida, Kaiir Elam. With Stingley’s star lowering due to injuries and inconsistent play, Elam has slid up to the #1 CB spot for me, and should be a big physical CB on the outside for Houston, not too unlike last year’s #8 overall pick Jaycee Horn.

3. Denver Broncos (Send 1.16, 2023 DEN 1st, 96, 194 to PHI via MIA for 1.3) - Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss - Vic Fangio is very likely gone after this year, and whoever is coming in will be inheriting a black hole at QB. Ever since Peyton retired, Denver has had serious problems addressing the position, and I think they could take a risk here to try to fix it instead of repeatedly patching it up with journeyman QBs and late first/second round guys. Corral has been excellent this year for Ole Miss, a big arm QB with plenty of toughness and great legs to be dangerous on the run. QBs almost always go higher than expected, and I could see Denver taking a risk in the hopes that Corral can use his great talent to become a truly elite QB to match Mahomes and Herbert.

4. Jacksonville Jaguars - Evan Neal, OT, Alabama - This pick is honestly one I could probably write in pen at this point. Cam Robinson is probably gone, and the #1 priority for a franchise should be to protect the hell out of Trevor Lawrence. Not much to think about here.

5. Washington Football Team - Carson Strong, QB, Nevada - Washington really needs to address QB at this point. Carson Strong might only play for a

Ahoy ye mateys! What’s that over yonder on the horizon? Futures Island?! Land ho!

The announcement of container shipping futures has gone seemingly unnoticed, but I believe we should be paying much more attention than we are. This announcement has prompted me to provide a brief update on the state of the trade since my Starter Pack released 6 months ago in June , and to discuss what I believe will be the impact of this announcement. Even if you have no intention of trading futures, this should impact your favourite shipping stocks. If you are uninterested in being a degenerate, you will be able to use futures to hedge out some of the risk involved in buying shipping companies.

An Update on the State of the Trade

Skip this if you're up to date on the shipping trade

Last time I touched on this was six months ago, and the macro factors have mostly played out as expected while stock performance has played out worse than expected. I did a quick re-read of that DD and while it’s too early to say that the macro environment content has been vindicated, I can’t help but feel proud that my analysis has played out to this point. In fact, I was actually too conservative and shipping rates continued to moon. I just would have preferred if the ZIM stock price did too.

That said, we all know the ZIM stock price is ridiculous. At the time I originally posted the DD in June ZIM was trading at roughly $45. It’s since had about $15 in EPS (net of $4.50 dividend payments) added to the balance sheet, with only a $6 increase in share price appreciation. Think about this: if you were kicking yourself for not buying when ZIM crashed to $35 in mid-July, the increase in assets on the balance sheet since then is equivalent to buying ZIM at $36 in mid-July.

On the supply side, the orderbook of container shipping companies has expanded to 23.5% of the Industry Orderbook-to-Fleet ratio (Slide 24 of DAC's Q3 Earnings Presentation). Of this, the new capacity in the entire orderbook is almost solely
