Remember When You Made Fun of Me For Making $TLT My Largest Position?

How do you feel about that now?

In the halls of history, TLT outperforms most in the month of August, flaunting 10 wins out of the last 12 years. The world is always on edge during August, since so many bad things happen when junior is at the turret. God knows danger lurks behind every corner. Market crashes, wars, disease, famine: you name it. Everything you’re scared of happens in between the months of August through October.

That being said, breadth stands at just 35% for the session. Stocks are steadily going lower. An alien visiting our planet for the first time would definitely think our market was destined to go lower–a bear market that wasn’t supported by the Federal Reserve chairman. Such an alien might believe Janet Yellen was actually short stocks and was more interested in her egg salad for lunch than leading the free world towards the path to prosperity.

TLT is going higher because you’re all scared. You’re all scared because TLT is going higher.

Do you get the picture yet pal?

    We were making fun of you just for the hell of it, nothing to do with TLT.

    A better hedge is to short USD/TRY

    Few people know about this forex pair. It has a daily expense fee of $30/100k with large bid/ask spread but that shit surges on any hint of market trouble

    The FAZ mobile has been sitting in the front yard on cinder blocks, but I think it might be time to fix her up and take her for a spin.

    Such an alien might believe Janet Yellen was also an alien.
