Shares of $ALGT Hammered, Following 60 Minutes Report Highlighting Safety Record

This is the type of press that can ruin an airline. People don’t usually give a shit about the airline they’re flying on, except for the rare occasion when said airline is featured on 60 Minutes for various safety red flags.

Shares of Allegiant Air are lower by 6% this morning.

Russian markets are down 1.4% today, after losing World War 3 to America this past weekend. Our futures are +140. It just so happens I am completely long, aside from my ‘fuck Russia’ trade — long RUSS — which is a play on betting against the GIGANTIC slavic nation of ice people.

Fun fact about Russia: back in the 1200s, the Mongols conquered them and are the reason why the entire land mass eventually united. Also, the Russian royal family is said to have ~15% mongol blood in them, from all of the cross-breeding done between the two people’s when the Golden Horde ruled over them.

Oil is -1.2%, probably because of lack of happenings in the Middle East. We were hoping to rope both Iran and Russia into armed conflict, which would’ve killed scores, but also have been boolish for WTI and Brent.

European markets are lower, most likely due to the fact that Russia might decide to freeze the entire continent to death next winter. But I suppose we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.

This could be viewed as dovish.

Russia and China are playing the Currency Devaluation game as the U.S. keeps raising interest rates. Not acceptable!

What a glorious world war. They never stood a chance.

The Syrian raid was so perfectly carried out, with such precision, that the only way the Fake News Media could demean was by my use of the term “Mission Accomplished.” I knew they would seize on this but felt it is such a great Military term, it should be brought back. Use often!

On news of America’s victory over the axis powers, Nasdaq futures are +44, Dow +195. I expect these gains to heighten as people come to the realization that America is unstoppable. If you’re reading this from another country, I feel sorry for you. How does it feel to know American can wipe out your civilization whenever it wants? You are quite literally inferior to hamburger eating missile toting troglodytes.

We can attack you and you’d never see it coming — utterly defenseless. The reason why you’re defenseless is because, genetically, you are inferior. This of course includes Canada, a icy wasteland that should’ve been used to store our trash rather than British loyalists.

Well, well, well — what do we have here. It was less than a fortnight ago when Trump decided to completely pull out of Syria — a war which has been fought by us, by proxy, for the better part of the past 7 years — losing miserably. The net result of our meddling has been 500,000 dead, millions displaced. But the recent chemical attack that took the lives of ~40 women and children were of course too much to bear.

Now we must stay in Syria, ‘long term’, because we’re a moral kind hearted people, who offer lovely stealth missiles or drilling contracts by our mega-corporations.

In other news, Russia punk’d out again and warned of global chaos if we hit Syria again.

I suspect this will be boolish for markets, Trump’s WW3 victory and all. We should expect a similar reaction after the previous great wars.

More nothing, or actual happenings?

My money is on Russia repainting their wooden missiles and a military parade.

A quick rundown.

Hamburgers, Fish and Chips, and Croissants bombed some borscht marinated pita bread — with a ~30% success rate — due to ancient USSR era missile interceptors.

The Pentagon rejected claims of their missiles being shot down — and some are upset that we didn’t use more.

Source: NY Times

Defense Department officials batted down those claims, saying that the entire American-led operation was over and the targets were destroyed before Syria launched any of the 40 missiles it fired into the air.

“Taken together, these attacks were able to overwhelm the Syrian air defense system,” Lt. Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie, the Pentagon’s Joint Staff director, said at a news conference. “None of our aircraft involved were successfully engaged by Syrian defense forces.”

He added that the barrage of missiles had hit their targets within a couple of minutes at most. He said that all three targets had been destroyed, and that all warplanes had returned safely to base.

But the strikes were limited, with an eye on making sure they did not draw retaliation from Russia and Iran and set off a wider conflict. For that reason, Mr. Assad may still be able to use chemical agents in the future.

“I would say there’s still a residual element of the Syrian program that’s out there,” General McKenzie said. “I’m not going to say that they’re going to be unable to continue to conduct a chemical attack in the future. I suspect, however, they’ll think long and hard about it.”

The limited nature of the strikes left some observers underwhelmed.

Russia called an emergency meeting regarding the topic, but their resolution was rejected by the council.

NBC NEWS: UN Security Council rejects Russian resolution condemning airstrikes by US, UK and France in Syria

Nikki Haley, in a most cringeworthy moment at the UN, told Syria that Trump was ‘locked and loaded’ to attack Syria again, should they use chemical weapons again. If I was a terrorist, I’d be using chemical weapons like a motherfucker right now.

China condemened the attacks.

“Any unilateral military action violates the United Nations charter and its principles and international law and its principles. [The strikes] are also going to add more factors to complicate the resolution of the Syrian crisis,” Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in a statement on Saturday afternoon.

Beijing also called for an investigation into claims of a Syrian poison gas attack on the rebel-held town of Douma that rescuers and monitors say killed more than 40 people, and prompted the Western action.

“The Chinese side believes a comprehensive, impartial and objective investigation should be conducted into the suspected chemical attacks and it should come up with reliable conclusions … Before this, no conclusion by any side should be made,” Hua said.

Hua also said the Chinese embassy in Damascus was in close contact with Chinese citizens in the country. “So far they are all safe,” she said.

Beijing was reacting to air strikes launched by the United States, Britain and France carried out on what the US said were three chemical weapons facilities – one scientific facility near Damascus and two storage facilities near Homs. A total of more than 100 missiles were fired and the air strikes lasted no more than 70 minutes.

Lastly, Trump declared ‘Mission Accomplished’.

A perfectly executed strike last night. Thank you to France and the United Kingdom for their wisdom and the power of their fine Military. Could not have had a better result. Mission Accomplished!

Something to consider.

Lastly, Alex Jones had a profanity laced meltdown last night. He’s officially off the Trump train. He believes ‘the deep state’ gained leverage off Trump when they raided his lawyers offices and are now controlling him.

The pageantry is disgusting. The vast majority of American people just want to play video games, drink Champagne, and shit post on Twitter all day in between day trades. The shit out government is pulling here is treasonous. We do not owe them allegiance. They are not America. Pardon the cringeworthy-ness of what I am about to say, but we the people are America — not those absolute faggots who keep steering us into ruinous satanic wars.

Here are the facts.

Since the war on terror began, total war related deaths are more than 1.3 million.

Total expense, not including the 100% lift in annual military expenditures, are in excess of $6 trillion.

It does not matter what is taking place in Syria; it is not in our national interest to be there. Period, end of story.

In response to these attacks, Russia is likening Trump to Hitler.

A highly placed Russian politician is likening President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler after the launch of airstrikes against Syria, and says he regards the action as a move against Russia.

Alexander Sherin, deputy head of the State Duma’s defense committee, says Trump “can be called Adolf Hitler No. 2 of our time — because, you see, he even chose the time that Hitler attacked the Soviet Union.”

That’s according to state news agency RIA-Novosti. The Nazi forces’ opening attack against the USSR in 1941 was launched around 4 a.m.

Trump’s statement.

President Donald Trump is warning Russia and Iran about their association with Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad’s government, as he announces the launch of retaliatory strikes after an apparent chemical weapons attack last week.

Speaking from the White House, Trump says, “To Iran and to Russia, I ask: What kind of a nation wants to be associated with the mass murder of innocent men, women and children?”

Trump calls the two countries those “most responsible for supporting, equipping and financing the criminal Assad regime.”

Trump says, “The nations of the world can be judged by the friends they keep.”

He adds ominously, “Hopefully someday we’ll get along with Russia, and maybe even Iran, but maybe not.”

Trump’s decision to launch airstrikes against Syria without Congress’s approval is illegal. We need to stop giving presidents a blank check to wage war. Today it’s Syria, but what’s going to stop him from bombing Iran or North Korea next?

I have no idea what her politics are and I don’t care. Unlike the Orange Baboon, she has character and integrity. While Trump was designed to be a hand grenade in DC, Gabbard would actually be a breath of fresh air.

She just issued this statement about waging another unnecessary war in the Middle East — Syrian edition.

Just about every whim I get is wrong today — me betting against the Russians, getting long cryptos proxies, Chinese burritos, and whatever other harebrained ideas I’ve concluded were appropriate avenues of risk.

I took a fucking battle ax to the skull this afternoon in YY. Apparently, tariffs all but made this company obsolete. See you at $00.00 Mr. Chow Fun (no racism). I sold that shit out for like a 8-9% loss.

I had this Frankenfood swag going yesterday with RKDA — but today it’s been total bloodshed and ridiculous clown trading — me being the clown punched into the water by faggot kid/day traders.

The only thing I have going on right now, on this magnificent spring day in Princeton, NJ, a denizen of nerds of dirty farmers, is NUGT. Apparently, once we light up Russia tonight and show them how retarded their missile defense systems are — everyone will piledrive themselves into GLD.

I’m getting too old for this shit — truth be told. When I started this sojourn into the underbelly of the interwebs, I was in my 20s, bright eyed and cow-eyed, violent and magnificent. Now I’m an amalgamation of two decades of cynical financial practices — fueled by rigged markets domiciled in an overtly evil country. I’m like a nice German citizen shit-posting about Hitler, circa 1942, while the country ravaged Europe for a 100 million large.

It looks like markets are heading up again. Who knows where this wheel of fortune will land next. Perhaps we’ll all get rich and name our son’s after Donald Trump. Or maybe it’ll land on the bankruptcy tile and we’ll fuck ourselves just before stabbing each other in the fucking helmet for a loaf of stale bread.

What do you think?
