it's Thesis Thursday

post a long, short, or pair trade thesis about something in the world (no financial assets)

mine: long water sports, short snow sports. water sports (e.g. surfing) are centuries old and allow man to access the divine trifecta of sand, sea, and sun. climate change will make snow sports less viable

short moving to usa / big cities to chase career

long staying close to your parents & family

life is too short to spend the short overlap when your parents are healthy and you are a grown up adult to spend it grinding for an O1 in san francisco

(obv doesn't apply to americans)

My parents are from America. I moved to the Middle East for work for two years. Soul crushing. Ended up moving back to be closer to family and start my own. 

PS there’s nothing inherently wrong with where I was. Just chasing things for the wrong reasons crushed my soul.
