Long bond is showing some conviction. VXX is a skeptic.

Guns aren't really my style. I believe in stealth. I will hide until the noise dies down, and pick my weapons off the dead bodies I will surely find.

I'm an investor, not a gambler. What do they sell, and to whom?

A word to the wise: If Trump wins the popular vote, keep the pantry stocked, and the gas tank full.

When the ship is sinking, no telling where the rats will go.

Right before Obama declares Martial law and voids the results.

Every day is a good day when the birds are singing.

I just rolled my longs into shorts. I don't expect this news to propel any long term move.

And she's going to crack your knuckles real hard if you planned to leave anything to your Grandkids. 65% estate tax?

Yeah, like that's going to fly through Congress.

I suppose you could always set up a phony charitable foundation, and scam people instead?

Obama talks about "reaching back" to help others. Trump reached back and taught people how to do what he does on a nationally syndicated broadcast, and in self help books.

It's like voting for your favorite teacher instead of voting for the old hag who cracked your knuckles with a ruler.

Who makes Kool-Aid? Their sales should be going the the roof the way the Dems are guzzling it.

Investment possible?

The Russians did it. Everybody head for the fallout shelter.

Any IT pro can set up a spoof account on a Russian server. These guys think we're noobies?

They assassinated the leaker. He was an American.

Democrats calling someone else "Communists" while they attempt to establish a Marxist regime. Pots and Kettles on sale this week?

Or is this another one of Hillary's "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" moments?

Sounds right. Too hard for me. I just scalped a bit. Can't foresee a lot of conviction until after the weekend, and after the election.

Still holding a few SPXL anyway.

I have a problem with volume tracking. Who puts together everything including the futures and options? IDK how you can measure volume against all of the derivatives of this trade.

My current strategy says we are right on the decision fractal, and I'll probably move with the movement.


We're so low, I am biased to the buy side, before the decision is made.

I surely wouldn't dismiss the theory based on "strength of character" as any of them has shown.


I'm cautious to believe, but I wouldn't put it past them.

Stronger evidence would be nice.

I'm really a long term investor. That cost me a lot more than trading, so I started trading more.

Still trying to put it all together.

The moving averages I mentioned last week are pretty reliable, until they aren't.

My trigger is way too quick, and when I slow it down, It's almost always a head fake, so I lose even more money

My Twitter feed is full of child porn conspiracies.

Dirty little Dem secrets with special code words? IDK?

Saw a little quote:

'Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations.' - Orwell

CNN isn't news. It's a PR campaign for the gay community and minorities.

I don't know if anyone has followed my commentary on how low interest rates force creeping socialism, but DB took it public.

Now it's official, and it's ECB's fault.

What a week!

GDP looked great, market tanks.

Jobs report sucks. Market up?

Bonds should recover some lost ground, and cheap money flows again to the Wall Street casino from the retirement funds.

Yes, I'm long, but I vacated the earlier positions, and retrenched at this level.

Edit: out of posts. See ya'll later.






I am strained and stressed, but still alive.

Not enough BP to get back where I was.

I am convinced of one thing.

These guys play rough.

CEF = Closed End Funds. I'm old fashioned. Gabelli and Zweig. I like Blackrock, too.

JCP, bingo. Retailer.

RSI at 47.65. It crosses 50 today, and we're going to the moon.

I'm loading some CEFs and some JCP.

The CEFs will pick my stocks instead of the randomness of SPY.

Take a look at the inverted H&S on the 30 minute candles.

Same as him. 214. But if that breaks, the 20 day SMA will work for lunchtime. We can check that after 1:00

213.5 is the 100 day SMA. It's not just for breakfast conversations.

I took a gamble on the GDP number helping.

JCP can fly.

The numbers are phony. The election is rigged. Simple explanation for everything.

TLT is sitting on the BB. Is the rate hike priced in, or what?

On the other hand, oil and copper are rallying on the GDP.

There's a bull market somewhere, as they say.

That's my take, as well. We're looking down the road and waiting to see who wins on the 8th. Might be doldrums until the 9th.

They are looking beyond that to the timing of the next one. Too cold to say.

I think it's kind of a Goldilocks number. Not too hot, not too cold. Just hope the bears don't come back.

If the market goes against the GDP news, it's because earnings have to exceed bond yields. If bond yields fall enough, the bonds will rally and keep the market down.

Right now you have a giddy emotional reaction, IMHO. 216 is actually possible by EOD.

We rally off the 100 SMA, is my bet. If if goes back to test 213.50, you should cover. IMHO

I just flipped from perma bear to perma long.

The position won't be filled until the technicals are satisfied, but the shorts are gone. Expensive day.

I think I'm finished for a while.

Yes, the GDP numbers are important. Unfortunately, it means interest rates go up, unless we find out later that the numbers are part of a massive attempt to fool the public into voting for Democrats.

The text could be confusing. They don't expect to release prior to then. It could be anytime after that.

Those guys have been quiet. Whole lot of flippers in the house. I'm bearish, and most of my flips are from the short side.

It will take some time to push out the bottom BB. Maybe two weeks? IDK. Next Friday is possible.
