Shorting Oil Again — Into Anarchy

***Confused and feeling utterly retarded? Join Exodus or schedule a Capstone appointment today ***

The negatives.

Govt shutdown
Slowing economy
Tanking stocks and oil
High yield blow out
IG starting to go lower
The Fed hates your guts
China trade war
Margin call selling by people who’ve never seen a bear market

The positives.

The selling has the feel of capitulation
Sentiment is dreadfully bad
The economy may not be slowing as much as expected

It’s funny how everything was great until stocks started going down. It’s a chicken vs egg paradox and we’ll never know who’s the tail and who’s the dog.

All I can do it try to communicate what I see and if I can save some of you absolute morons some coin, then so be it.

Big ass black candle posted on CLR today. This is my tell in the oil sector. Regardless of what WTI does tomorrow, oil stocks will remain under pressure because the damage has already been done.

Technically, we’re no longer in the FAGbox. New levels abound.

I bought back some DRIP into the final hour, 1/3rd the size of my original position. My top picks as of now are DRV, NUGT, DRIP, and XLU — only hedged by a position in GE.

    Degenerate gamble: slv 14s expiring tomorrow at 4cents and slv 14s expiring next week at 11cents.

      VIX hit 30.30 (my target from yesterday) dropped, and then ramped in a nasty close to 28.38. Also, still didn’t really see any elevator action..

      However, we can’t just keep going down week after week because the stock market (and govt’ support) has a bullish bias. Example: buyers looked to be waiting for NFLX near $250, so it never even reached its Feb lows.

      The dual message:
      1) Most investors ARE still dip-buying and do not believe the bear market thesis
      2) We are way overdue for a rally, and bears (like myself) are probabyl eager for better entry points

      Tomorrow will be intersting, but I intend to be a spectator for most of the day. I have a feeling that we’ll see the face-ripping rally that people have been expecting. Bulls will take it as an all clear, rally ’till Dec 28 (Merry Christmas), and then drop below Feb 2018 lows in January (Happy New Year).

      PS You called 20 of the last 3 major dips.

        Not fake news

        I said it was endgame virtually realtime with the start of the final leg last september. Following hurricane irma. And I even kept using that reference. It was just where the basically-vertical leg started. (full manipulation in force chuckle)

        Endgame implies a full breaking pt moment. End Jan Start Feb. Double thousand dow drops. Crack 1. They in predictable fashion brought it back to Aths (middle finger smirk). Crack 2 was still highly in the logic. Boom. 10yr.

        After crack 1 it was clearly Final countdown and I was saying that throughout. You look like a puny rat trying to nibble at my ankle. Sit down and shutup
        Once and for all

        BEAARRRRS RULE !!!!
        NOW!!!
        HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
        HA!!!!!

      You’ve been wrong for 10 years! We get a correction and you fell like some genius? Since you are retarded, you will fuck up this trade anyway.

        Oh all the morons come out now. Ha.

        So those saying “You are merely going to get 2x 3x lehman, 8 years ago” were wrong?
        Those saying “you’re just creating the next boombust” were wrong?

        We were the Paul Reveres stupid!
        Do you have any idea how stupid you look.

        A society that is saying now “Wtf with the stock market?” “Wtf is happening”

        UH FUCKING DUH

        Shiller pe?
        As I started pointing out 3 years ago?
        A manipulated commandeered environment?
        With clear if-then for-next subroutine algos running?
        And “buying every fucking DIP in sight”?
        As I started saying 5 years ago?

        You shmucks are getting your comeuppance as I said
        You’ve got some suffering ahead.
        I suggest get prepared.

    “…Into Anarchy”

    Gen Mattis was just fired as Sec. of Defense., Look for Eric Trump to be next Acting Sec of Defense.

    Pompeo only hope to keep us out of nuclear war.

      You do know that Pompeo claims to believe in, and is looking forward to, The Rapture? He speaks of it often.

      Sleep well.

        No, Mattis quit. The amount of contempt he has for Trump, as shown in the public letter of resignation, is delicious.

    Sorry for bogartign the commetn section, but I should mention that this was announced via Tweet, of course.

    “The moment I found out Trump could tweet himself was comparable to the moment in ‘Jurassic Park’ when Dr. Grant realized that velociraptors could open doors. I was like, ‘Oh no.’ ”
    – Justin McConney, Trump Organization’s director of social media from 2011 to 2017

      The bypassing and shirking of M S M by trump has been epic
      Some of the coding and signalling within trump tweets is stellar
      The hopeful destruction of protected inner circles in our gov
      will be bigly
