Models are still bullish government shutdown edition, go Eagles!

Greetings lads,

Floods coming.

And until then it would benefit us to secure high ground, as far north as our constitution allows, and stock it with the necessary supplies to survive long stretches of human indignation. The frantic fools in politics and murderous ideologues of religion will never stop subjecting the general population to their fury.

An effective means of establishing a safe space in the north is domination of the financial markets, which are the most natural form of human interaction we have come up with yet.  A system of assigning numbers and letters to intangible things, like Fords or Googles.

The purity of the financial markets shall never be forgotten. They provide an immutable reality.  The collective beliefs of humanity, far superior to any doctrine or screed, all in one fair place.

From this innocent, child-like playground we will extract US Federal Reserve notes, which we will then convert into physical goods and artificial intelligence, which we will configure to handle the maintenance of our lands.  They will also generate enough goods to liberate us from the obligation to work, in the traditional sense.

This is our job.  To liberate the human spirit so that it may apply itself only to that which is loves.  Consuming only what is necessary to fulfill that love, and leaving the rest, lest it too become an obligation.

And the best way to extract US Federal Reserve notes from the financial markets is an augmented approach to trading that utilizes statistical biases and robotic decision trees.  It is by removing the human ego, the gut reaction, that we can consistently execute a profitable method.

Kora Reddy put up a great stat on Twitter over the weekend.  If you are not following @Paststat you are doing your mind and family a great disservice.  He dropped this data, which shows that historically, a government shutdown has been bullish, check it out:

These are the type of inputs we can obsess over.  The clarity they provide is far greater than some passionate plea from a protestor or manufactured statement from a corporation.

Inside Exodus we deploy our working model, which spits out a directional trading bias every Sunday.  All it attempts to do is envision the next 5 trading days.  Four if there is a holiday.

It is bullish for a third consecutive week. The model is crushing 2018 already.  We put our faith in the model.  The model is our guide. Our friend.

Inside Exodus we also have predictive algorithms.  The two I pay attention to (and they pay US Federal Reserve notes to me) are the 36-month hybrid overbought and the oversold.  Each sets out to predict 10 trading days into the future.  These algorithms are twice as bold as the model I hand build.  They flagged bullish on Friday, January 5th.  The results so far? Sublime, look:

If you are not keen on counting, I will do you the favor of sharing that this 10-day cycle ends Monday, end-of-day.

Look at that Dow Jones. Would you just look at it? America is winning so much.

But do we need a government? Probably.  And only because most of mankind has to be told what to do.  They need handlers.  I just wish we did not.  How nice would it be if everyone could just take care of themselves and be kind to others?  And all the other animals?

There would still be a place for markets.  And internets.  But not bloated rulers who spend their life telling us what to do.

Investing in ideologies is how we invest.  The ideologies we believe in are those set forth by Our Only True Leader, Elon Musk (all Praise and Glory to The Leader).  We also believe 2018 is the Year of AI and have positioned accordingly.  Finally, we find CRISPR a novel science, and have thrown our hat in with the good folks at Sangamo, especially since their brand name sounds like a nice Italian town.

Trading we approach with cold, dead logic.  Statistics and AI and auction theory.  It is with these foundation stones that we go to battle, day-in-and-out, and return home victorious to make love to our women and drink wine.

The models are bullish lads.  They intend to carry us through the fourth week of the second year under our authoritarian regime.  People are more interested in the weekend’s games then petty government squabbles.  And come Monday we will be ready to fight, slowly, and win.

They’re greasing the poles in Philadelphia just in case the birds win.  The gambling halls in Vegas are giving the Eagles three and a half points.  The streets of Philadelphia are likely to degrade into drunken mayhem as this unseasonably warm evening progresses.

Godspeed, and Enya:

Exodus members, the 166th edition of Strategy Session is live, go check it out!

AND MATTHEW WILDER:

STILL HERE?  Great, you must be some kind of masochist.  If you are a masochist and live in the Detroit area, come out to our first Stocktwits Meetup of 2018.  It will be held Tuesday evening at a German beer hall, and it is free.  Here is a link with more info and to RSVP so I know how many freaking pizzas to buy: http://ibankcoin.com/raul3/2018/01/16/announced-raul-to-host-detroit-meetup-topic-active-trading/
