Market Fades at the Open — Traders on Edge

Tenuous start to the session with numerous fades. Not sure if it’s over again, but at least we have wildly higher commodity prices to make us feeeeel better.

It would appear risk appetite isn’t there now, likely due to the war mongers on the left clamoring for world war. Once we get past all of this we could then refocus our attention on 9 RATE HIKES FOR 2022.

I allocated into commodities, kept my shorts and volatility long, 40% cash. I will decide what to do with the rest later on. I feel uneasy being exposed on both the long and the short side.

    China just called for the eradication of Taiwan on twitter. Get ready for the second half of the coordinated push, in the far East now.

    The USA clearly has NO dog in this fight – at most we should have the sanctions and that’s it, but the SAD TRUTH is that this could have all been AVOIDED if Brandon and his crew from the Obama administration had not sabotaged our dependency on foreign energy from day ONE and signaled our weakness to our enemies!

    I repeat again – Brandon’s FIRST DAY IN OFFICE – hours after he was sworn in was to kill Keystone XL by Executive order. Day fuckin ONE. Even if Putin did not see how weak the leftist woke mob in DC was by looking at the retreat from Afghanistan, the weakness with China and the groveling to Iran, energy prices would STILL have skyrocketed because US producers have their hands TIED.

    What a disaster for our nation.

      It was all intentional. What you saw happen, and what they are doing, is all with intent. Once that is seen the whole picture gets clearer.

      Treason

    Send all the woke parasites to the front line in Europe. Let them defend mother Europe which they all aspire for this great nation to be. The tree of freedom needs fresh blood sacrifice once every decade.

    Let me explain the machinations of this stocked-market… The Federal Reserve is out of money and the banks are already insolvent. It has been written long ago, high oil prices and war in the Ukraine is only an opening salvo into a sequence of events that shall turn Americans against one another – leading to outright revolution and the inexplicable failure of the United Steaks of America. #Yourewelcome
