Donna Brazile was just canned from CNN for leaking debate questions to Hillary as exposed through WikiLeaks. I'm no political expert, but whether overblown or not, this latest email news is hugely negative for the Clinton campaign based on everything I'm seeing. If I had to bet, I think a Trump presidency is about to happen unless something absolutely devastating is released in the next week.
There's still room to short USD if you're interested. GBP seems to be performing the best today. Just broke out and isn't letting anyone in easy at the moment.
That's news to me. More fuel in the fire. I don't recall a more bitter and contentious election than this, maybe my memory is just fading, but I'm not sure if I want to hold anything through the election. I don't trade binary events and this is increasingly looking like one. I've sold my US stocks, am long USDCAD, USDJPY and USDSEK. All positions positive and I'll hold through the rate decisions, not sure about the election though. I'll decide Friday after NFP.
That said, fading MXN to go long might be a good trade. Negativity priced in I think. A third now, add when the results start coming in and volatility picks up. Could be another Brexit trade, risk a bit and maybe make a lot. Or not.
Why is it every time Fisher says to buy oil and gas they completely tank? LOL. I remember when oil was at 95 and he said to sell naked puts on them all the way down. Almost the next day oil went on its down move from 95 to 75.
Every time GS says something about anything, I wonder if they are taking the opposite side, as we know they have done. Could he be doing the same?
Happy Halloween to Bill Ackman. Valeant down -13% over Bloomberg report of criminal investigation into ex-CEO/CIO over accounting irregularities.
I was just going to ask you about that! WTF was that shit. Even Dec/Jan popped 1000 ticks! I was long the heat spread and quite by accident looked at my screen and saw the spike and sold my longs into that spike thinking it was a bad print or something and the shit kept going. LOL.
