CL short trade looks pretty sound and a nice opportunity. problem is it can bounce hard once it is this low historically and the bounces are hard to time for me...but Vis you have a natural ability to see these type moves in price action and I am always learning by watching you trade Hope all is going well with you during these holiday weeks. As usual, I always enjoy reading your posts. Things are well with me. I am standing on the side a lot right now, but I wish I had stayed short longer term in crude and "long" longer term for the USD. December 16 will be another huge Fed day. You have made some Amazing trades over these past Fed days since the Summer
The past three days action deserve some troll face... As you (Pricechange) mentioned in that insightful post this am, the underlying markets are completely divergent from the headline indicies...also that interesting but perhaps crowded spread between HYG/JNK and the indicies and also the equal weight S&P and SPX/SPY...same things we saw prior to mid-late August, which it seems is now the status quo (as opposed to some temporary anomaly)...state sponsored markets seem to artificially suppress volatility (price discovery) for extended periods and then auto-correct in an instant (some temporary catalyst)... let's face it...as the past three days have shown, it's an escalating battle between the not-so-hidden deterioration of the entire market (just don't look at the headline indicies) and increasingly desperate CB's that endlessly jawbone radical propositions that cannot last forever... btw, I'm still trying to remember how common it was to literally have CBer's talking policy as frequently as this crew does...I took such a long break from this stuff, but I honestly do not remember having to plan my trading around so many of these informal Q&A sessions that literally have become the only driving short term force in the markets.
Right now interest rates are being kept at zero which makes it possible to service the debt even though it’s impossible to repay it… at least we can service it. But once interest rates go up then we can’t even service it let alone repay it. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-...ns-whole-economy-has-imploded-collapse-coming
More likely is you've lost 50% of your wealth since 2009 with your extreme short bias in one of the best bull markets in history.
you are one hard core mentally disturbed individual! I would not wish on my worst enemy whatever is squirming around in your twisted brain (very possibly acute dementia) This forum is obviously very poorly moderated for allowing such a disturbed individual as yourself to roam freely through the night.
Yeah now think about that statement and how it might apply to the vast majority of people in the workforce who don't even have a 401k, retirement, etc.
In reality, your posting history indicates clearly that you believe numerous conspiracy theories, have a fair degree of delusion about your own capabilities, and seem to be somewhat of a compulsive liar. In your post, you attack long term investors for daring to hold in a bull market, saying they will likely lose 50% of their entire wealth in a very very short period of time. All I did was suggest what most rationale posters would guess about you, that you already lost 50% of your "wealth". Apparently that's all it takes to set you off.
Listen nine ender....dementia is quite progressive and devastating. I can sympathize with your situation as I would not wish it on my worst enemy. But there is an option if you take it early enough. While you can still get prescribed sedatives/darvon or while you are still allow access to tall buildings. Suicide is probably your best and only option. And really, it all happens quickly. I sometimes volunteer in a local hospital and I have seen your case before. Pumped filled with rage and hatred, "deranged from all humanity" and probably armed to the teeth. Your best option is to put your lips around the barrel and SQUEEZE. Like I say, it happens so quickly. Then, all of that squirming and pain in your head will be gone....long gone and you can rest peacefully. If you don't follow through with this option I fear that you will be found cornered in a room somewhere with your weapons aimed at the defenseless and that the police will have to put you down like a dog right there:eek:
Oil at 36.... If that doesn't signal a world wide recession I don't know what does..... The markets are setting up for a big drop...don't be surprised by a 30% drop!!!! Or are the markets starting their sell off ahead of the Dec 16th fed announcement where they drop so hard and fast that the fed changes their mind and keeps rates at 0%??????? By the way with oil dropping to levels not seen in years do you think will see food prices come down or those extra fees all those delivery companies placed during the oil rise???? Haaaaa who am I kidding... Prices will remain sky high even if oil gets to $20 By the way where are all those $100+ oil predictors? Not one person saw oil collapsing like this...just keep in mind there is no one calling for Dow 7500 so just keep that in mind Fools
