Futures have March at a coin flip. You're way past a coin flip.
Cole Draper00:52:48–00:52:58
Coin flips are for people who can't read a dot plot.

The Fed cuts in March. Lock it in. If I'm wrong I'll delete the account, on my life.
Marcus Ito00:53:18–00:53:26
Deleting the account. In writing?
Cole Draper00:53:28–00:53:36
On air is better than writing.

No cut in March. No cut in May. The clip has six million views.
Cole Draper01:10:49–01:10:58
I've seen it. My mentions are a museum of it.
Cole Draper01:11:00–01:11:19 · Selected passage
The account stays. Deleting it would be running from accountability, and I'm about accountability.
Marcus Ito01:11:21–01:11:29
So the deletion?
Cole Draper01:11:31–01:11:45
Deletion is what cowards do. I'm staying so people can hold me to things.
