This is a very scary article. I hope he is wrong, but it all makes perfect sense to me. Our world leaders are power hungry and will stop at nothing to keep that power and add more. Our borders are gone, our entire education system is a disgrace, and we are now a forever war charging nation always looking for the next war we can start. The deep state is so deep and common sense so lost that I don't see much hope. I would say the Next Great Depression is almost here. By summer 20-year interest rates could again be over 5% and for sure by year end, our debt payments will be running $1.6T at year and that is on a $4.4T revenue base.
I have no debt, I have no major amounts of money in any banks that I think could fail. Chase is probably the saved bank around because there is no way they can fail. I have some cash on hand, but I need to get a lot more. Of course when all this comes about, I will be surely in cash and not etf's, so I have to hope that all those short-term treasury bills get paid. I can't imagine the government defaulting on the 3mo T-bills first. I do expect some kind of one-time tax on our IRA's since confiscating our gold is off the table and there isn't that much they could go after. Retirement funds is a much better way to completely destroy anybody with any money and totally demoralize everyone into submission. Covid was a great training period, they now know we are all just sheep and they are welcome to destroy our fortunes and long-term outlook without any issue.
I heard terrible stories about the 30's depression from my grandparents. Most of them were farmers so they survived the depression pretty well. They could trade their egg and meat ration coupons for flour, sugar, coffee, and other things since they had the farm. My ex-wife's grandfather had a small grocery store/gas station and decided to sell it and buy a farm. He put the money in the bank the night of the sale intending to buy the farm the next day. That night the bank failed. Their survival story is one I sure hope I don't see repeated in my family again. If you think the government cares about, you are sadly mistaken. I am an old white male, I am to be hated.
$BITCOIN and the associated miner stocks appear to be decoupling now. This is expected. Once the halving later in April occurs, the energy cost of each coin mined will 2x (reducing the efficiency of miners), and the rate of new coins entering the market will slow down (making the existing coins more valuable).
At some point in the coming weeks/months, the value of Bitcoin will increase enough such that the miners will move up once again. Now is a good time to be out of the miners and hold Bitcoin. I expect the miners to bottom and turn back up once the price of $BITCOIN sufficiently increases. GLTY
For BOIL/KOLD, I am currently using the hourly charts to trade.
The 1hr KOLD chart this morning is displaying a series of lower highs, and lower lows. This chart had me sell KOLD last Friday for a small gain.
The 1hr BOIL chart this morning is displaying higher highs, and higher lows, but the price action is not yet above the 200MA, so I will likely sit out what is shaping up to be a buy signal this morning.
If the price action was above the 200MA, I would currently be watching/waiting for the next hour bars to appear for confirmation. GLTY
It is an interesting macro analysis. Something for me to watch. Thx again.
I just bot $KOLD @ 148.50 ... I was looking at the daily chart and I saw that bottom isn't there yet...close but not yet...#natgas having some trouble keeping up so I'm taking the chance now...
so what do you think??? looks pretty interesting ay??? btw BOIL and KOLD are now following 150.66% NATURAL GAS FUTR MAY24 and 49.41% NATURAL GAS FUTR JUL24
Good to know they exist but doubt I will use them. As you said, at this casino 1x is enough. I have started using BITO only.
maybe I'll buy SBIT instead off BITI in anticipation of the halving event in a couple weeks...
just look at the charts you will see it....https://twitter.com/DeFi_Yizhar/status/1773939532401893668/photo/1
BITU and SBIT started trading this past week.
BITU is a 2x BITCOIN ETF, and SBIT is a 2x Inverse BITCOIN ETF.
(3x versions of each are in the works.)
The Casino is now open...

The same here. Can never stop learning.
Now this is interesting. Can you provide a link to your source material plz?
Ah, thx for the clarification. I still have much to learn. GLTY
I found something interesting how #natgas goes through 4 year cycles...the troughs are during election year and the peaks are somewhere in the middle...looks like a bottom for NG sometime this year...I don't think bottom is in yet until supply goes down further because temperatures are getting warmer throughout the country...
Yday's pattern was an engulfing candle, but it really was not the bearish pattern because we were not in a real uptrend. By the same token todays inside candle really doesn't mean much either, imho.
As you just posted, as the news keeps filtering in hour by hour either good or bad (more bad lately), the market just reacts day to day. Don't know if we are going to make it through this rough patch of not without breaking down.
I am getting very close to sells, but still hanging in there. I have pulled back my investment level and shifted to a much higher allocation to SPY.
In light of yesterdays market drop, and the heated words coming from the mid east this week, market turbulence next week could be quite high.
Have your trading plan ready. GLTY
NQ > that was a good one >
when I first looked at screens I thought we had another algo "flash crash" ala 1987
> Nope ww 2.5 in the making
Now all the TA charts are junked >
Still have Fri AM reports to deal with
J > google up thinkorswim "market depth"
SSEdge's was bettter "but" it's going away
used that to see where all the bigger bids / asks were sitting
to judge potential buy / sell areas
D > thanks > I'll check that out >
I have a few questions left for the tos tech but waiting for my "merge" date to pass before I muck
with things further > I don't want to cause any issues like what happened to me earlier > hard to explain
but I got into a software hand off area of platform that locked me out > "tos to schwab" > tos tech had to
do it from their end and restore some code while working within remote access to revert me back to
tos access / login rather than schwab's
Have to admit the tech individual I dealt with was dang good
I'm looking @ 12.50 or lower to get into $BOIL...depends how #natgas is running...report came back and NG went down...I'm not buying $KOLD though...only when I see a nice runup first...still looking for daily info regarding NG S&D...

DAILY.
https://schrts.co/JKwVXXCq ....
My last few trades spotty at best. Just bailed today with -6% loss. But Im up for year about 38%. I caught a 28% in Jan.
7 trades 3-4 w-l record. So far keeping losers small. 6% is small in the BOIL/KOLD world.....LOL
Im trading daily charts at the EOD. Im going to look at 60min more and maybe jump in 1/2 pos to see if I can front run and get my entry cost lower.
What I look for on Daily
Buy when
1. StoRSI move from <20 to >80 one day best but can take longer. 0 to 1.00 optimal
2. SlowSto >20 Move out of green zone, or be out of green zone.
3. 3MA moves above 8MA or is very close and other indicators agree
4. MACD 12/26/1 signal line is rising or flat.
5. Look at trendlines and wait for reversal against trend
6. Need HHHL or if all else good, a bullish engulfing candle
Exit when
1. Target #1 is hit. ATRP x2 or median of max gains last 12 trades.
2. Stop is hit..Last Minor low or low of signal candle.
3. Let trade breathe at first, trading below buy candle LOD is warning but not a stop, however need to look exit strategy,ok to sell all or part.
Look at futures that make up the current holdings for sup/rez.
If close below buy candle’s LOD. Look at opposite STORSI and M12 or M3 direction.
4. Or, M3 reversal 2bars breaks trendline of the 3MA
5. Or, After Target 1 Hit, Close below M3, set stop LOD for next open.
BOIL Daily
I've been following NG 24 hours a day...even when I wake up from sleeping I check the charts...I just sold my BOIL to break even @13.55...coulda sold yesterday when it was peaking before opening but I was hoping for a better EIA report....#natgas follows daily reports that are really involved and i haven't been able to find a source to this: https://twitter.com/BabyGotGas/status/1775511927336124741/photo/1
I do a search on X for #natgas and find interesting info that is helpful...figuring out that NG isn't just charting but mainly fundamentals...charting is useful after reversals...so when it come to BOIL and KOLD they are following NG exactly to the minute...
Also because NG is so low, suplliers are cutting back on the supply to move the price upwards. The weather also has something to do with the draw and for the most part the cold season is over...I'm just gonna sit back and watch and wait until next week to see where the next bottom is...
I have had good success lately trading KOLD using 1hr charts. See below post. GLTY
For NatGas, I have begun watching/using the 1 hr charts (Thx DUMA!). I have found the 1 hr BIOL/KOLD charts begin to suggest a direction change a day or two ahead of the actual event.
I have been avoiding getting into BOIL recently because the price action is still not above its 200MA.
I have been in and out of KOLD a few times recently with some success. Single digit gains. KOLD price action being above its 200MA, its bias is to the upside.
As you may recall, I have been trying many many different ways to gain an advantage trading BIOL/KOLD. It continues to be a quite challenging, but when it pays off, it does so big.
When BOIL does finally move above the 200MA on the DAILY chart, it should be biased to the upside for an extended period of time. Let me know if questions. GLTY
I never have seen that version either. I like my iphone app for trading. Lot easier to navigate. But I like the desktop version for info. I use L2 on any trades except high volume stuff like TQQQ, Very useful AH.
The web base seems like it would be easier to trade than desktop as well.
The way I got to the TOS web was not easy. The easy way, log on to Charles Schwab, hit "Trade". Under "Trading Platforms" select "thinkorswim Web".
The good part about doing it this way is that you logged in to both sights but only had to log in once.
D > interesting > first time I ever looked at that
#natgas EIA report comes out which will determine what direction it goes...daily reports influence the price not the graphs...i use hashtag natgas while searching on X for more info and it has been really helpful...
using the charts for #natgas isn't that simple unless you plan to hold for 6 months or more...otherwise NG follows daily reports of supply and demand...I've been watching closely almost 24 hours each day...mostly on twitter and since then I have found a number of helpful info including weekly reports from EIA...
https://twitter.com/Astrocraps/status/1774594050035007797/photo/1 is one graph I find useful...
https://twitter.com/BabyGotGas/status/1774741759630733449/photo/1 this table is also useful but I don't know the exact link of each graph to watch daily...
Also since I've been watching Ng I noticed how many up days vs down days...price doesn't continue up so I've been successful flipping BOIL and made some $$$ on KOLD ...I was really tempted to sell BOIL @ 15.00 before market opened but didn't want to miss out on another runup today...my short term target is 20.00 I anticipate that will happen sometime next Wed or Thurs...
I just opened up the web based version of TOS. After just minutes of using it, this is the way I am going to go. Very easy to navigate and large numbers.
They say it is a stripped down version of TOS which I would assume applies to not being able to write code for the charts. Don't intend to do that, so not a problem. I also don't care about level II quotes (I think that is what it is called).
Hopefully I erased all personal info. I did leave the cash position, ha.
I expect gaps for KOLD or BOIL not to fill...only gaps that fill are from #natgas itself...and there are no gap ups to fill...
BOIL....DAILY....Hopefully get the BULL horn ..for ride up. ......14.55 IN W.STOP......click pre post.

Here is what I have to say to all those Buy & Holders that Varney marches through his program everyday. It much have felt pretty good in 1929 with 45 new ATH's being made. 2017 did a lot better with 62 and 2021 killed it with 70.
But then came the hangover. It took 25 years until 1954 to get back to the last high of 1929. That is a long time to sit and watch your holdings try to dig out of the hole that was made. I lived through the 13 years from 2000 to 2013, I know firsthand what it feels like. Lucky for me it was only 13, not 25.
I remember my Dad playing the market in the 70's. That didn't work out for him very well and from that point he was always negative about the market. In the 90's when I was rolling in the money, he was always telling me to get out while I could.
He also fell for the option game and that didn't work out well either. I still have the manuals that he bought. They are good option techniques that are still being used today, but here is what I tell my friends, if you can't make money buying one share of stock, don't expect options to make you money. You have to know the direction the market is going to go to ever make money. The number of people who can't make money buying shares of stock amaze me that they think they can make money with options.
So will 2024 be the new 1929, or maybe we can hold it off to 2025. But I have a bad feeling we are going to see another 20+ years with no market gains. I have not issue giving up a bit to the market to not get caught riding it down. Debt took the Romans down and it will do the same for us.
NatGas spot approaching $2. BOIL looking stronger. GLTY
