Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 3 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 235 interactions against 97K followers, an engagement rate of 0.243%. Posts are seen about 32K times each, and 0.726% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 33.4% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 3 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 44K interactions, about 186x its own typical post. Only 3 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Look, I know none of this stuff matters anymore. But my G*d. This will be the 4th time the S&P 500 $SPY has hit a record high while 5% of its members fall to 52-week lows. 1. July 1929 2. January 1973 3. December 1999 4. Today https://t.co/ZV87wolVZk

At the top of the dot-com bubble, a Berkshire shareholder asked Buffett and Munger to “just speculate” 10% in tech. Their answer aged perfectly. April 29, 2000. https://t.co/B4NzYItmpL

More than half the S&P 500's total value is now in stocks priced above 10x sales. This was once considered an outlandish valuation, as it leaves little room for error. The list includes Nvidia, Apple, GOOG, MSFT, Broadcom, Tesla, Micron, Eli Lilly, AMD, Oracle and 57 more. https://t.co/K3V1Zo3m1U

Fairly fascinating commentary from Simon White of Bloomberg: “Putting gamma, realised correlation and dispersion on the same 3D grid shows that as far back as we have data (to 2014), correlation has never been as low when gamma and dispersion have been as high. The green diamond in the chart below is the latest point. The alpine peak just below that is from 2021, the only other time the three risk measures have been nearly as elevated as they are now.” In summary, the entire rally from the March lows has been built on a “mechanical chase.” Without real spot buying, market fragility could be exposed quickly when the stratospheric gamma squeeze ends. This is a complex topic for many, but traders should know that if breadth remains weak, any mean reversion could be dynamic. Have a lovely Tuesday. 😊

another motherlode as new lows push above new highs immediately after a 52-week high - and all the warning flags with sinister names kick in together not a forecast, not a market call, just FYI https://t.co/Cb81qy1LWs

Ho hum - dozens of overextension flags today - including this one - among the motherlode we've seen in the past 5 weeks. Without implying that speculators can't do whatever speculators choose to do, their focus rarely gets this narrow except at extremes when they're all in. https://t.co/F9sKcFVUsB

a gentle reminder that y'all out ya minds if you've been reading my comments in recent months, you know we've adapted to the point that a permanently expanding bubble - or a collapse into a ball of flames - would both be just fine with us 🌹♻️🗑️ but still ... https://t.co/PxxoC6GhnN

I know you don't care about valuation, risk, or history Even we've adapted to where we'll be perfectly happy if the bubble never ends. Still, that change involves being selectively constructive with safety nets (see my May comment), not diving into flaming tar. Just sharing FYI https://t.co/Rt0DAidc98
