Dr. Copper Getting Poleaxed — Markets Weaken Bigly (Fly in Field of Flames Edition)

I knew the markets didn’t feel right and now those feelings are manifesting themselves across a wide spectrum of robots who control prices. Stocks are diving lower again and if Apple wasn’t so strong, the Nasdaq would be firmly in the red.

Meanwhile China related commodities, both copper and oil, are getting CRUSHED — with the former fairing worse — lower by 3%.

I do not fret the exalted status of this trade war, because it will only leads to more wins. It’s stupid and childish, but I believe in the power of 3d intergalactic space checkers and what it portends for equities.

The Federal Reserve is the real enemy of the people, even worse than the “free press”; but we’re stuck with both of them, so we might as well trade around them.

I find myself driving in a very fast car heading into a field of flames, double long HUBS into earnings tonight. A gentler, more cautious, man would refrain from speeding up into the flames; but I doused my car with gasoline and have decided that the wind from the speed of the car will be so furious, so fantastical, it will extinquish all of the flames by itself. In the event I am wrong and HUBS forget how to repeat its business and all of their data scientists were wrong, I shall perish in the fires a happy man — doing what I love most.

God speed. Wish me luck!
