State of the Union

  1. With the shit-show in Iowa can we expect some antics from radical left dems to shift the focus? Maybe a walk out by a few, some loud booing and hissing, maybe some audible vulgar insults? Got to get back on that Orange Man Bad train.

    I'll say one thing, today the NASDAQ was predictably manipulated today.

    There has been a pattern of this good timing for Trump and fuck it, I made a million bucks today knowing this would happen again trading Futures but the market IS being manipulated for Trump's political gain.

    The criminal/cartel right worry me a lot more that "radical leftists" that really only have power in the mind of Fox viewers.
     
  3. Conspiracies are everywhere theses days, but I tend to agree that the money boyz don't want to see a Sanders or Warren in the WH, so they'll do their part to ensure the right hands get greased. We can have the predictable criminal right in charge or the very unpredictable buffoon left. Me thinks while your politics leans left your million dollar profit depends on the predictable.;)

    In trading I try to be apolitical and as a futures trader I don't depend on bull conditions. I would literally burn the million (literal profits, not kidding) today if the President Trump show would just end and sanity return. This happens to be my largest single day ever but I have a couple of half as much days with Obama.

    I'm not selling out my dignity and upbringing & soul for money like a boomer would. All I'm saying is today STINKS of politically motivated manipulation. Good for old man stock traders, but there will be a price etc.

    Agree but there are other considerations like Chinese firms unable to deliver goods to the United States in the short term. But in the long term China will roar back to life with this capital infusion.
     
  7. And I'm saying that Sanders and Warren do not present the sense of sanity returning and until the Democrats get a rational candidate with a practical and doable platform Trump will be the hold your nose and hope choice.

    Warren is fine, she is a sensible person. Bernie is not a madman but he will struggle with the partisan roadblocks.

    What is going on is the right is being fed a constant barrage of the "radical left" is xyz, half made up, the rest wholly exaggerated. So Bernie is "pre-communist" and somehow by a magic trick Warren now may as well be. Warren's pro regulated capitalism and pro-middle class is exactly what being a conservative used to mean before the madness con machine of Roger Ailes' little projects started after Nixon, talk radio and Fox.

    But hey, the guys can keep berating an empty chair like Clint all they want but I assure you, the imaginary leftist is nothing like the majority of real people.
