Buying MOAR Into the Maelstrom

There are zero reasons to buy. Looking at WTI -8% and all of the news, I am shaken to my core — literally shaken. However, I have large balls and truly do not care about losing all of my money. If I was poor and destitute, I’d still be miserable, so what’s the difference?

I bought some ROKU now — because the MUH chart and because I want some exposure to beaten down tech. All of these charts look the same. The mean reversion trade has died. I should know, being the owner of a system that has mean reversion tools. HOWEVER, we’re smart people, very wise, and filled with innovation. There is a hunger in us to create ways and systems to profit from this action. I will see to it that I win, one way or another. For now, the dollar is a hugely important to the sentiment of the market. This is why I’m still long TMF.

Hopium is a strong drug, an aphrodisiac even. Let’s see how we close and god willing tomorrow will bring greater fortunes. We are watching NVDA very closely and I’ll be monitoring the parade of data coming out of China soon. EM is important, but the stability in FX and commodity markets might be the tail that is wagging the dog.

Nevertheless, barreling into Turkey Day, I remain stoically optimistic for a bounce.

    Check out any time frame you want, and tell me if *any* of them look bullish. I switched from long to short today.

    LARGE BALL OR more likely….. LARGE POCKETBOOK; having big $$$ allows one to take more chances.

    the small guy can get wiped out.

      Small guy is same as big guy. It’s just an allocation process.

            I see no advantage for looking at charts in any form except candles, BTW.

    Yeah that crap in crude has the scent of some entity blowing up. Could stocks be next. The relief rally will be wicked but this drip drip shit can lead to full puke mode. Then from the ashes and all.

    Let me get this straight….
    Dollar is rip roaring higher,
    Oil collapses like a cheap lawn chair.
    It’s bear f’n market trading,
    There are zero reasons to buy,
    Therefore, you go long ROKU…..

    Is it your urinal shadow making you do all this?

    Natty is on a mission to make Russia great again. God willing crude or the equities can bounce now as well.
