Strategy (MSTR) Crush Position
Terms.
The infrequent social terms that appear on this page are defined on this page as follows:
Social poverty. The social behavior of isolating yourself away from people who see or view the world differently than yourself [1]; see echo chamber, cancel culture and boycott as common examples of social poverty.
Complexity theory. The study of how a system with multiple interactive entities maintains order or dissolves (erupts) into chaos.
Gambling culture. A shared belief that the best use of time and money for a person centers on significant financial returns.
Productive culture. A shared belief that the best use of resources centers around expansion of resource use to increase output or significant reduction of resource use with the same output.
Put contract. A contract that provides the purchaser of the contract the right to sell a specific asset.
Short position. The act of borrowing shares to sell with an expectation the the share price will fall.
Crush position. The act of protected positioning against an asset and interactions it has with other assets. A crush does not use put options or short positions.
Strategy (MSTR) Case In Favor.
SqlinSix stands as one of the few firms in the world that avoids social poverty. Thus, SqlinSix links to a brief synposis from Strategy itself as to why Strategy believes that it is a favorable opportunity.
At the time of this writing, Michael Saylor is listed as a co-founder and executive chairman of Strategy on Wikipedia.
Strategy (MSTR) Risks.
SqlinSix views Strategy (MSTR) as a significant introduction of risk. This risk increases when considering complexity theory and how it applies to the involved system.
SqlinSix does not favor put contracts or short positions, as these require timing more than positioning. SqlinSix has entered into a crush position against Strategy (MSTR).
Put and Short Position Observation.
While SqlinSix recognizes the significant risks of both put and short positions, Sqlinsix also recognizes that perfectly-timed put and short positions can have significant returns. SqlinSix adds this observation to contextualize any media discussion later of a "brilliant" move by a person or entity; this is disingenuous and unfortunately encourages a gambling culture over a productive culture as people seek attention or returns from speculations over innovation.
As a related observation, both put and short positions exist within the system they're positioning against - a violation of applied complexity theory. For this reason, neither of these would ever qualify as a crush position.
Context Matters.
As is clear to anyone with reading comprehension, SqlinSix is not and will not engage in any put or short position against Strategy (MSTR). One should also be extremely cautious about reading any of this as a negative relative to the numeraire ("unit of account"), as Strategy could return ten multiples against the US Dollar, wiping out put and short positions. This loss would not apply to a crush position which returned one hundred multiples against the US Dollar and ten multiples against MSTR.
In addition, SqlinSix builds solutions for clients that require both digital and non-digital data solutions, from raw data storage to advanced research. SqlinSix benefits from this project, as this project will require exercises the skills required for this. To prevent false assumptions, SqlinSix has cleared specific references to any assets or entity that would be assumed to be used (even if not). This is to prevent false assumptions.
Because SqlinSix understands risks, but recognizes that the current culture does not, SqlinSix will only post the starting and current positions of the compared values along with Strategy (MSTR) while the crush position is ongoing. If the crush position is not ongoing or finished, SqlinSix will post the current phase.
Comparison*
Current phase: researching the appropriate crush assets for a position against Strategy (MSTR).
*The comparison involves comparisons with Strategy (MSTR), Balanced Au as an independent measurement, and the asset (or assets) involved in the crush position. The crush position cannot contain put contracts or short positions and will only use Au for currency positions when exchanging assets as Au is the lowest risk currency.
**Balanced Au involves a position of 100% physical Au with 25% of the Au position being bonded or leased exclusively to Au-related businesses (no banks, investment banks, hedge funds, speculators, etc). An example of an Au lease or bond is here, though Monetary Metals may not have the restriction SqlinSix limits. In addition, SqlinSix reports the Au price with the Au plus PAS (price over spot). A non-spot price is a great example of completely useless data, since no one can purchase Au at that price except for fake electronic instruments. Au is on the periodic table; your digital Au isn't.
