    I am allowed to make this statement, because a month ago I went long the June MES at 4203. Why did I do that? Because Powell jawboned at the Economic Forum in DC. He fooled assholes like me who thought he was going to take a softer stance. He did for a few days. But then he and his cronies reversed later on, and fucked the markets.

    Well, they are going to do it again on Wednesday next week. I, as a bull, am fubar. *shrugs*

    No one made a claim of whether or not you could make that statement. The point is that it has been noted.

    Spectacularly, Powell carrying on lately like he's just learning the job.
    Ram interest rates down to ridiculous levels, now ramming them up, just like a noob.

    I will post my cash totals x ticker at the close. I will not discuss positions/structures. I have three accounts at (TDA) which track my Prime acct; mIRA (biggest), joint PM (wife's old account) and RegT solo. I have a couple skew lock expirations tomorrow so microstructure will be an issue. No excuses, tho. Prime got whacked but only shows the D2 of a complex spread which went off last week at a large gain and I am gamma-trading the remainder. Won't be included.

    then why not be a bear? It's been obvious Powell doesn't want a rising stock market

    (emphatically) Fed-funds will not exceed 5.00 (4.75-5.25 target) in 2023.
