Went out penny loss. Maybe should of took the penny or two gain, what a bunch of bloody cheapskates they're being.
Well, went in the kold side 83.54, trying to grow some. lol Edit: now out for 6 bit gain
Edit again: In 2.76-77
I'm getting too skittish in my older age, out for a draw 2.79-80. Saving my gains, control my losses. Waiting for sudden drop or gain then decide what to play.
Oops, maybe little early, back in 2.78-79 See if this has got a little leg more. But ready to call it a draw.
Taking the dime here. out 2.76
Now we're talking. Go BOIL I'm working on it, but this doesn't usually work for me.

Come on NG, either poop or get off the pot. Gonna fall asleep, if I don't get my volatility fix. lol
out 89.10 They're starting to get stingy Back in 2.66
out 2.67 in 86.99
out 89.10 in BOIL 2.61
First trade today in on the kold side 86.35
Yea, when they split it. lol Might have a better chance of losing 50% in that same hr.
Just a note;
/NG 3 wks ago 4/14/23 52wk low $1.946 Close $2.106
Same day 4/14/23 BOIL low 2.99 Close $3.33
/NG today 5/4/23 low $2.085 Close $2.089
BOIL today 5/4/23 52wk low $2.65 Close $2.66
That's the power of BOIL. Be very careful how one "loads".
Last trade out kold side 87.25. Not too bad today with 7 trades, pretty good action. Hard to believe making good on shorting ng at about 15 cents off low. Could've traded BOIL the same amount, just had to clear my head a bit with BOIL, start fresh tomorrow. To be honest, I just don't see a bullish side of this for maybe a month, maybe longer. That is unless some dramatic event happens, maybe lightning will strike twice in the same spot. I can see this in a bottom channel for a bit longer.
I know about that one and many other children's homes, boarding schools, and the type. Worked with many that got spewed out of those type of places, dealt with my own toddler memories, only to know of half my siblings that were there when I was five. Didn't meet the other half and my biological mother until my forties. That administration building and it's associated school to the home burned down suspiciously just like this one when it became under investigation and then closed down. There are 100's of these horror houses that get tucked away. Paperwork destroyed, violators hidden and protected. Today times have gotten better, but there is still way too much abuse out there.
No Direction Home (The Drifter Chronicles) Paperback – September 12, 2016
www.amazon.com/dp/0997092106/
In 1999, Greg Cayea was sent to Hidden Lake Academy: the most infamous juvenile institution in America touting itself as a "therapeutic boarding school." The school has since been shut down for the tragic maltreatment of troubled youth, but before that... it was a dark place to be. No Direction Home tells the story of the series of events that landed Greg there, what it was like, and how he adventurously escaped. It starts on the first day of middle school in an upscale neighborhood in Long Island, New York. Greg was labeled the biggest piece of shit in sixth grade because of a few unfortunate circumstances, and there seemed to be no hope for redemption. Then one day everything changed, but it was a bit too late. Greg was on a crusade for vengeance.
What ensues is a chain reaction of escapades, filled with theft, drug addiction, prostitution, suspension, and eventually, permanent relocation to residential rehabs across the country. Still, nothing could calm him down. He was a bit too off the hinges by then for rehabilitation, and after a scuffle with anti-Semitic cohorts at an inpatient rehab and a daring escape with a girl "too good to be true," he's scooped up and transferred to Hidden Lake Academy, a fucked up place tucked in the obscurity of the Appalachian Mountains. From that point on, all bets are off and there is one mission, and one mission only: get out. His attempted escape morphs into a chaotic tale of homelessness, bad crowds, rancid romance, and bravery in all the wrong places, but one thing is for sure... Greg will never be the same. The question is, will he ever find his way home?
Republicans reject abortion bans as ‘campaign-enders’ in warning to party
As states continue to bring in tighter restrictions on abortion, internal divisions within the GOP are starting to show
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/04/republican-lawmakers-reject-abortion-bans
Thu 4 May 2023 01.00 EDT
In one state, Republican women filibustered to block a near total abortion ban introduced by their own party. In another, the Republican co-sponsor of a six-week abortion ban subsequently tanked his own bill. On the federal level, a Republican congresswoman warns that the GOP’s abortion stance could meaning “losing huge” in 2024.
As states continue to bring in tighter restrictions on abortion following the fall of Roe v Wade, internal divisions within the Republican party on the issue are starting to show.
‘We need to read the room’: GOP divided on abortion as Democrats unite for 2024

Divisions most clearly started to show last week in the deep red states of South Carolina and Nebraska, where Republicans roundly rejected further attempts to curtail abortion rights last week.
In South Carolina on Thursday, all five female senators – three of them Republican – led a filibuster that ultimately blocked a bill which would have banned abortion from conception with very few exceptions.
That was the third time a near-total ban on abortion has failed in the Republican-dominated senate in South Carolina since Roe was overturned last summer.
“We told them, ‘Don’t take us down this path again for the third time in six months – you will regret it.’ And so we made them regret it,” said state senator Sandy Senn, who spoke at length on the senate floor on Thursday, of the male Republican senators continuously pushing abortion restrictions in her state – including in an earlier attempt this year to make abortion a crime punishable by the death penalty. Abortions remain legal until 22 weeks in the state, which has become a safe-haven for abortion in a region with increasingly limited options.
With nothing having changed since the last two times the senators brought the bill, Senn said her Republican counterparts knew another abortion ban had no hopes of passing. But with an election looming in 2024, she believes they are keen to flaunt their anti-abortion positions.
“He was just trying to flex his Republican credentials,” she said of Shane Massey, the senate leader, who voted in favor of the bill. “He wants people to know, ‘I want a strict ban, I want no abortion. I’m going to try it for the third time and lose, but it’s not my fault that we lost – it’s these Republicans who voted against me.’”
In Nebraska, an attempt to bring a six-week abortion ban failed by a single vote in the majority Republican chamber. Merv Riepe, a Republican senator who had initially co-sponsored the bill chose to withhold his vote Thursday, becoming an unlikely player in the bill’s demise, having voting in its favor as recently as two weeks prior.
But Riepe had raised hesitations about the bill back in March, telling local press that six weeks might not be enough time for a person to realize they are pregnant and get an abortion.
He did propose an amendment to the bill on Thursday, proposing a ban on abortion after 12 weeks, but other Republican legislators rejected it, saying they had already compromised enough.
Barrett Marson, a GOP strategist based in Arizona, said that these increasingly visible tensions may speak to a difficulty that Republicans are having trying to balancing different wings of the Republican party.
“There is a tension between the base of the Republican party and moderate Republicans. The hardcore base wants outright bans on abortion. But the broader electorate, and certainly a substantial amount of right leaning independents and moderate Republicans, want to keep abortion legal but rare,” said Marson.
Those tensions are certainly becoming clear on the national stage, with growing numbers of Republicans sounding the alarm that the party should not lean too far right on abortion, especially since last year’s midterms showed a string of victories for abortion rights that seem to suggest the party’s stance on the issue is out of sync with the general public.
Recent weeks have also seen a number of Republican presidential hopefuls trying to walk back the party’s stance on abortion. Last week, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley asked the party for a “humanizing, not demonizing” conversation on abortion. Donald Trump has indicated he thinks a federal abortion ban – a proposal touted by Senator Lindsey Graham last year – a losing proposal for 2024.
Following a supreme court decision to keep access to a crucial drug in medication abortions widely available for the time being, Republican congresswoman Nancy Mace said told ABC she agreed with the ruling.
As Republicans, we need to read the room on this issue, because the vast majority of folks are not in the extremes
Congresswoman Nancy Mace
“I want us to find some middle ground,” Mace said. “I represent a very purple district … As Republicans, we need to read the room on this issue, because the vast majority of folks are not in the extremes,” she said.
Mace criticized a recent decision by the Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, to sign a six-week abortion ban in his own state – a bill she said he “signed in the dead of the night”.
“We are going to lose huge if we continue down this path of extremities … [People] want exceptions for rape and incest, they want women to have access to birth control. These are very common sense positions that we can take and still be pro-life,” Mace said.
Senn’s own decision to join the filibuster in South Carolina, she said, was about principle – but she added that the politics are also compelling.
“As far as in my state, 53% of the Republican voters agree with me. And in my district, 70% agree with me,” she said.
“I don’t want any woman to have an abortion. I hope she doesn’t have to, but I’m not going to judge her. And she has to have a meaningful opportunity to make her decision,” she said.
Senn supports a ban after 12 weeks, with exceptions for people who have been raped, victims of incest, or whose life is threatened by a pregnancy – and said she continues to be shocked by fellow Republican who disagree with that stance.
“The baby is not even a baby at that point. In my state, 19 lawmakers in our house of representatives signed on to a bill that would make a woman guilty of murder if she had an abortion at any stage,” she said, referring to a recent bill. “I just wish we had more people in the middle, with common sense on on all issues. And on this issue, why not have some mercy?” she asks.
Marson, the strategist, believes the mixed messaging from the party could end in catastrophe for Republicans in 2024 if they don’t heed those calls.
“We don’t have to guess what will happen. Just a little over six months ago, we saw what the issue of abortion does to the electorate – it pushes them to Democrats,” he said.
“We’ve seen states like Kansas, one of the more conservative states in the country, reject abortion bans. A six-week ban that doesn’t allow for exception of rape and incest and life of the mother – that’s a campaign-ender for a Republican,” he said.
A post from Shep a couple of days ago. Closed yesterday 2.17, may close below that today. Are we resolved yet?
Not to oversimplify things, but right now, #natgas is trading in the 4 hour cloud. As long as it's between $2.18 and $2.284, it's UNRESOLVED. Meaning until it CLOSES above or below it, best to wait and/or bid low. pic.twitter.com/YyMFWYCS8D

Went out of any BOIL this morning 2.84, regretted keeping overnight, not my style and sort of against my own rules. Had to work many trades yesterday only to get about 2% total green with ng and still kept about the same shares over with it's risk. If I didn't have the loss in kept shares, would have been close to double digit gain yesterday on ng. Just been playing the cold side right now, just made a high of 87.32. Looking like it might make a 100 if this keeps up.
Just coincidence that they had camera crews with all sorts of angles set up just in case a drone could fly around the Kremlin with no defense systems stopping it and wanted to take out a (false) flag. lol

I think the Fed got that priced in. They talk about the "banking system", the "system" consolidates and rids the most weakest spots and strengthens the most powerful. The largest will control more of the whole.
A couple of them I had to narrow down and pick the one that made the most sense. So a little luck and working with multiple choices got it for me.

Wonder when they are going to split this, wait till it's under a buck? Makes no difference, not a company stock or anything. BOIL will continue on the same path, long term trend, and system as it always has.
I just can't see Powell letting his words make a bull market charge, but you never know. Fed been pretty constant on their intentions, words, and deeds, the market on the other hand been jerking around from that consistency. Rate cut this year or pause, don't think a cut is in the cards.
Just going in and out hot and cold with short time candles ignoring for now yesterdays batch. Was back in BOIL 2.89 might be out by the end of this post. 2.86 bh 52 wk lo
Sold 88s for 94s went kold. May be doing the yo yo trades again today. Just playing what is dealt.
Added 2.88 New early morning 52 wk low 2.87
Sold a few 3.00, which was a hair green, but kept most. Kind of low here, so think this has a good chance of at least a bounce. But maybe not. Held my head above water with the kold trades, so in pretty good shape, but ready to double down if takes another dive down. 2.92 official 52wk low now.
2.95s just took. 2.90 next bid then I'll start doubling down. Looking like I might have a rare occasion and keep overnight. Due for a bounce, but the manipulative wankers might have a different plan. Pretty soon they will be giving the gas away for free. This bottom channeling might go on for months.
Took another 1.25 gain on the kold side. If this keeps up, I'll have my BOIL paid for. Has covered way over the couple pennies down on BOIL anyway. I'll take it anyway I can get it.
Courtesy santafe2 on another board. Energy sector doing worse than the regional banks. Lot of blood in the streets.
