Exuberance in Peso Trading Suggests Someone is Betting on a Clinton Win

Stock your nuclear fall out shelters with fresh supplies of soylent green, for is the peso is of any use at all, it’s suggesting that ‘smart money’ is still betting on a Clinton win.

The peso is higher by 1.28% v the dollar at the time of this post.

I am now fairly certain, after reading the internet, that Donald Trump will not concede any loss to Hillary Clinton and will contest the election. In turn, uncertainty and turmoil will rack the nation — which should pose as a deleterious threat to equity prices.

As for the general markets: you have to be fucking crazy to buy stocks now, ahead of the election. If anything, you can throw dice at some coal stocks, like WLB and CNX, then pray to the Gods that Trump doesn’t get assassinated on election night.

Tech is breaking down and the winners are starting to weigh heavy on the markets.

Amongst the leadership names on my list to watch, FB, GOOGL, ENB, HCA, CAT, ULTA and AAPL have broken down. I am looking at stocks like ULTA (I am short), AVGO, UNP, JPM and DOW closely to detect weakness, which might spread to the general market.

Charlie Munger once said ‘show me where I will die and I will avoid going there.’

No one was more addicted to stocks than I was, dating back to the mid 1990s, trading through the dot com bubble and then subsequent crash. I was young, foolish, and had big dreams of becoming rich. Whatever money I made in business, I plowed it into stocks and leveraged it up. By the time I was 24, I was producing more than a million dollars in gross commission. The market was gangbusters. I had six figures in the market. Clients were volunteering money to me and sending their friends to do the same, until it all came to an abrupt end.

I recall the day I knew the market had changed forever, seeing my money line shrivel away like a piece of paper caught in a fire. I lost nearly my entire net worth back then. I even had to cancel my wedding plans and opt for a much smaller venue, thanks to my idiocy.

I chalked it up to being young and reckless.

But if you’re still doing the same shit now, 20 years later, you have a problem.

The way I view the market is very binary. The economy is slow and it truly does suck. Ergo, any stock you own is subject to sudden and severe downside action, due to earnings shortfalls. You cannot get rich buying and holding any longer, unless you take advantage of two unique circumstances.

Due to the venture capitalist, like Fred Wilson, hogging all the good companies, keeping them private until their valuations runaway to bubble territory, there are hardly any good ipos out there. The ones that do explode to the upside, like SHAK, FEYE, GPRO and TWLO, almost always come crashing down — not before long.

So we’re stuck with whatever is left in the market to make our fortunes. The new supply of stocks are in bubbles. The legacy stocks are subject to a dreadful economy. This leaves us with merely one shot at getting rich in stocks again: buying harrowing declines.

Momentum trades are child’s play and yield little in the way of trying to attain true wealth — unless you’re playing with derivatives.

Had you bought the lows in Feb, you made a fortune. Other than that, you wasted the entire year chasing a dream.

The only sector in the market that offers extreme upside, due to growth, is in biotech. But those are laden with mines and you really need to know your stuff when investing there.

There isn’t a lot of opportunity in the market these days for the buy and hold crowd. You either have to trade quickly, have a great timing algorithm like Exodus, or be blessed with the luck of a leprechaun to beat the odds that are woefully stacked against you now — investing in a rigged and artificial economy in decline.

Maybe the congressional subpoena precluded some personal yoga emails and that’s what Joel was referencing here? We can never truly know, only try to piece together the puzzle through these email communications.

Another theory, based on his confirmation in the email below that some emails were being withheld for non descript reasons. Perhaps they were damning and could’ve ruined her chances at the Presidemcy and instead decided to BLEACHBIT the entire fucking server, applying  a scorched earth strategy to 12 devices that were smashed to pieces with hammers — all encompassing a total of 33,000 emails to all of a sudden go missing.

What do you think happened?

The Harwood-Podesta diaries, courtesy of the Russian government by way of Wikileaks, continues to produce intrigue and drama. In this episode, the Clinton campaign was pissed the fuck off over  a Harwood article, which nearly caused a split between the two John’s.

Here was Harwood’s evil piece.

By John Harwood 29 Mins Ago http://www.cnbc.com/id/102717374

I’ve been inside Hillary Clinton’s national campaign headquarters in Brooklyn. I’ve talked with “senior officials” about her bid for the White House. They sat in these chairs. Wish I could tell you more. But they said very little. Notice that I typed very little and not “very little,” because under the ground rules of Thursday’s briefing reporters were not allowed to quote their words directly. You’re not missing much.

The former secretary of state plans to kick off the heavy-rhetoric stage of her campaign on June 13. I can’t say where or what time because the senior officials wouldn’t say. She plans to lay out some policy proposals after that. Can’t say which ones. She’ll take questions from reporters. Can’t say how often. She’ll start having rallies. Not too many, because the election’s a long way away. But some. She might take a summer vacation, which means reporters covering her can, too.

Don’t know when, but one senior official observed that summer vacations traditionally occur in mid-August. Her aides are organizing furiously in the early battlegrounds of the nomination fight (Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina) because they are competing in every state. They take the primary challenges of Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley and perhaps others very seriously.

They are also taking their Republican opposition very seriously—some in the sprawling GOP field more seriously than others. Can’t specify which ones. They are raising lots and lots of money and are pleased with how much is pouring in. But they absolutely, positively are NOT seeking to raise $2 billion, which some journalists have reported is their goal.

They are building a large digital constituency for their efforts to communicate and mobilize voters on social media.

Are they starting with the lists from President Barack Obama’s organization, and Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign? Can’t say for sure, but they’re exploring lots of lists. Her husband, Bill, and daughter, Chelsea, will play roles in her campaign. Can’t say exactly what, or when.

She’s feeling more in control of her campaign effort this time around, unlike 2008 when she sometimes felt the campaign was controlling her. Controversies over her emails as secretary of state or the Clinton Foundation have not inflicted significant political damage. That’s because voters who might support her see the controversies as politically motivated. She might even be able to expand the roster of battleground states beyond those Obama targeted.

Can’t say which ones. I’d show you pictures of the office and desks where campaign officials do their jobs, but the post-briefing tour was deemed off-the-record. There will be more briefings, however.

Stay tuned.

Believe me, I’d love nothing more than to criticize Harwood’s article, but it was just fine. Anyone think it was overly critical of Hillary? If so, what the fuck are you smoking?

Apparently, people at Camp Clinton were smoking some strong shit, most likely sourced from Colorado.

This was quickly picked up by an aide and forwarded to Podesta, who then emailed Harwood ‘won’t waste your time again.’

Harwood quickly CC’d Clinton’s communication director, Jennifer Palmieri, quizzing her if John had lost his fucking marbles, askiing ‘he’s joking right?’ What he hadn’t realized is that she too was extremely butt hurt and also libtarded, in a very general sense.

Observe.

Then the single most incredible moment of Harwood’s life approached him. Would he fold and apologize and try to curry their favor with pathetic groveling, or would he man the fuck up and lay down the law, letting them know he’s nothing more than a jokester-shill, who does what he’s told, and how he enjoyed their company more than anything else, and fuck those Fox News live trucks, them and their stupid, god damned, questions?

BEHOLD.

The fucking latter.

In an interview with Russian newspaper Politika, the embattled Syrian Leader, Assad, offered some choice words for the United States.

Chiefly, he discussed the peace treaty failures between the US and Russia, chalking it up to America only using lulls to arm and support the terrorists.

He talked about the time the US accidentally bombed the shit out of Syrian forces, which paved the way for ISIS to overrun thier positions. And lastly, how the war in Syria is being marketed by the media as a humanitarian effort, when in fact it’s a proxy war again Russia and Iran.

“Supporting the terrorists is a war of attrition against Syria, against Iran, against Russia, that’s how they look at it. That’s why not only this ceasefire – every attempt regarding ceasefire or political moving or political initiative, every failure of these things, the United States was to blame,” the Syrian president said.

“They always ask for ceasefire only when the terrorists are in a bad situation, not for the civilians. And they try to use those ceasefires in order to support the terrorists, bring them logistic support, armament, money, everything, in order to re-attack and to become stronger again,” he said.

Sometimes the US support for terrorist groups goes through its allies such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, Assad believes, while occasionally they provide direct support even to Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), a group that the Washington-led coalition was supposedly formed to defeat. An example of this came during an American attack on Syrian Army troops near Deir Ez-Zor, which happened while the US-Russian truce was in force, and which the US claimed was the result of a mistake.

“They attacked a very big area. They didn’t attack a building to say, ‘we made a mistake.’ They attacked three big hills, not other groups neighboring these hills,” he said. “In less than one hour, ISIS attacked those hills. It means that ISIS gathered their forces to attack those hills. How did ISIS know that the Americans would attack that Syrian position? It means they were ready, they were prepared.”

“You have a black-and-white picture; very, very bad guy against very, very good guy. It’s like the narrative of George W. Bush during the war on Iraq and on Afghanistan,” he described.

“The war in your country has been portrayed in the same way; as a humanitarian war where the West wanted to intervene in order to protect a certain community against the aggressors from the other community,” Assad said, referring to the Balkan Wars and the partitioning of Yugoslavia. “So, many people in the world believe that story, the same in Syria; they use the same mask, the humanitarian mask.”.

“The terrorists killed during the last three days more than 80 innocent civilians in Aleppo, and wounded more than 300. You don’t read anything about them in the Western mainstream media,” he said. “They only single out some pictures and some incidents in the area under the control of the terrorists just to use them for their political agenda in order to condemn and to blame the Syrian government, not because they are worried about the Syrians.”
“They don’t care about our children, or about innocents, and about civilization, about infrastructure,” he added. “But actually, they only care about using everything that would serve their vested interests.”

“We don’t see any good signs that the United States is going to change dramatically its policy toward what’s happening in the world… or to obey the international law, or to care about the United Nation’s Charter,” he said.

“It’s not about who’s going to be president; the difference will be very minimal, each one of them is going to be allowed to leave his own fingerprint, just personal fingerprint, but doesn’t mean change of policies. That’s why we don’t pin our hopes, we don’t waste our time with it.”
Assad reiterated his assessment that if Syria were left to settle its problems without foreign interference, it would take it no more than a year to end the conflict, saying that “it is not very complicated internally.”

“Of course, that looks not realistic, because everybody knows that the United States wanted to undermine the position of Russia as a great power in the world, including in Syria. Saudi Arabia has been looking how to destroy Iran for years now, and Syria could be one of the places where they can achieve that, according to their way of thinking,” he said.

“But if we say that we could achieve that situation where all those foreign powers leave Syria alone, we don’t have a problem in solving our problem.”

“Without all different colors of the society – Christians, Muslims, and the different sects and ethnicities – you won’t have Syria. So, every Syrian citizen should feel fully free in practicing his rituals, his traditions, his beliefs. He should be free in order to have a stable country. Otherwise you won’t have Syria as a stable country,” Assad said.

The war has been a huge ordeal for Syrian society, but it has made Syrians as a nation more united, not less, he added.

“Many Syrians before the war didn’t tell the difference between being fanatic and being extremist, between being extremist and being terrorist. Those borders weren’t clear for many,” the president said. “Because of the war, because of the destruction, because of the heavy price that affected every Syrian, many Syrians learned the lesson and now they know that the only way to protect the country and to preserve the country is to be homogenous, to live with each other, to integrate, to accept, to love each other.”

“That’s why I think the effect of the war, in spite of all the bad aspects of any war like this war, but this aspect was positive for the Syrian society. So, I’m not worried about the structure of Syrian society after the war. I think it’s going to be healthier,” Assad added.

The now very retired Nigel Farage took to Twitter this morning to express his dismay over the clown act in London, which said the British people are shit and parliament had to approval the triggering of article 50.

This all came about, thanks to a hairdresser filing suit in London. I’m sure this will now drag on in the courts, like a fucking Dickens novel, rendering the whole concept of BREXIT a brief moment of lucidity, only to be rescinded and shot down by multi national parties who profit from the status quo.

Farage is upset. Yawn.

Nice try England. Well done.

Just when toy thought Great Britain was on its way to becoming great again, BAM, a panel of judges in Londonistan told the people who voted for BREXIT to fuck off. Now the Lords of the House must approve of the plebeian decision to exit the EU. As you readily know, the people shouldn’t be entrusted with such an important decision. It should be made by the very best people in England, those serving in parliament of course.

Brexit court ruling means Parliamentary vote must be held before #Article50 is triggered https://t.co/40dsWkxlI1 pic.twitter.com/7JD8s697nb

The pound is ripping higher by more than 1.4%.

The U.K. must hold a vote in Parliament before starting the two-year countdown to Brexit, a panel of London judges decided, likely setting up a constitutional confrontation at the country’s Supreme Court next month.

“If notice is given under Article 50, it will inevitably have the effect of changing domestic law,” Judge John Thomas said Thursday, delivering a decision that is a setback for Prime Minister Theresa May’s plan to unilaterally start the process by the end of March by invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.

“A ruling by the Supreme Court on Brexit looms large in December so the process is far from over,” said Valentin Marinov, the London-based head of Group-of-10 currency strategy at Credit Agricole SA’s corporate- and investment-banking unit. “That said, abating concerns about hard Brexit could help the pound to recover more ground in the near term.”

The London legal challenge, brought by Gina Miller, who runs an investment startup, and Deir Dos Santos, a hairdresser, sought a court ruling that it would be illegal for the government to invoke Article 50 without first consulting Parliament.

“We’ve been able to be part of this debate and bring some sobriety as we go forward,” Miller said outside court. “I hope that they make the wise decision of not appealing and pressing forward to debate in Parliament.”

Triggering Article 50 is “irrevocable,” Wright said during the case.

“It might mean that the prime minister has to show her hand a little more,” said Stephanie Flanders of JPMorgan Asset Management in an interview on Bloomberg Television. It’s likely to mean “a bit more transparency about the deal and a bit more of a debate domestically. I would not assume that the pound stays up from here or that we’re not leaving the EU.”

This all came to be thanks to a fucking hairdresser. The EUROSTOXX50 shot higher on this news and is now higher by 0.5%.

Yesterday Zero posted a youtube video showing, for the first time in decades, Dr. Steve Pieczenik, and his revelation that a ‘counter-coup’ was underway in an effort to resist Hillary Clinton from seizing the White House. He described his actions in the royal form of ‘we’, indicating he was working with multiple intelligence agencies within the country, who were in turn feeding the leaked emails to Wikileaks.

Upon first hearing the interview, I was dismissive about it, until I read his resume.

Here are the cliff notes (source: Wikipeadia):

• He attained his PhD in international relations from MIT while studying at Harvard Medical School.[4] Pieczenik claims to be the first psychiatrist ever to receive a PhD focusing on international relations.
• Pieczenik was Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance and James Baker.[3] His expertise includes foreign policy, international crisis management and psychological warfare.[7] He served the presidential administrations of Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush in the capacity of deputy assistant secretary.
• In 1974, Pieczenik joined the US State Department as a consultant to help in the restructuring of its Office for the Prevention of Terrorism.[2]
• In 1976, Pieczenik was made Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for management.[2][5][9][10]
• At the US State Department, he served as a “specialist on hostage taking”.[11] He has been credited with devising successful negotiating strategies and tactics used in several high-profile hostage situations, including the 1976 TWA Flight 355 hostage situation and the 1977 kidnapping of the son of Cyprus’ president.[2] He was involved in negotiations for the release of Aldo Moro after Moro was kidnapped.[12] As a renowned psychiatrist, he was utilized as a press source for early information on the mental state of the hostages involved in the Iranian hostage crisis after they were freed.[13] In 1977, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Mary McGrory described Stephen Pieczenik as “one of the most ‘brilliantly competent’ men in the field of terrorism”.[14] He worked “side by side” with Police Chief Maurice J. Cullinane in the Washington, D.C. command center of Mayor Walter Washington during the 1977 Hanafi Siege.[15] In 1978, Pieczenik was known as “a psychiatrist and political scientist in the U.S. State Department whose credentials and experiences are probably unique among officials handling terrorist situations”.[2]
• On September 17, 1978 the Camp David Accords were signed. Pieczenik was at the secret Camp David negotiations leading up to the signing of the Accords. He worked out strategy and tactics based on psychopolitical dynamics. He correctly predicted that given their common backgrounds, Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin would get along.[3]
• In 1979, he resigned as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State over the handling of the Iranian hostage crisis.[4]
• In the early 1980s, Pieczenik wrote an article for The Washington Post in which he claimed to have heard a senior US official in the State Department Operations Center give permission for the attack that led to the death of US Ambassador Adolph Dubs in Kabul, Afghanistan in 1979.[16]
• Pieczenik got to know Syrian President Hafez Assad well during his 20 years in the US State Department.[3]
• In 1982, Pieczenik was mentioned in an article in The New York Times as “a psychiatrist who has treated C.I.A. employees”.[17]
• In 2001, Pieczenik operated as chief executive officer of Strategic Intelligence Associates, a consulting firm.[18]
• Pieczenik has been affiliated in a professional capacity as a psychiatrist with the National Institute of Mental Health.[19]
• Pieczenik has consulted with the United States Institute of Peace and the RAND Corporation.[20]
• As recently as October 6, 2012, Pieczenik was listed as a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).[21] According to Internet Archive, his name was removed from the CFR roster sometime between October 6 and November 18, 2012.[22] Publicly, Pieczenik no longer appears as a member of the CFR.[23]
• Pieczenik is fluent in five languages, including Russian, Spanish and French.

If that reads like the resume you’d expect from a CIA operative, it’s because he was. He is a very credible person, with a most impressive resume, saying the most outlandish shit I’ve ever heard in my entire life.

Amongst some of the things he’s saying in the video below are the following.

Huma Abedin is a Saudi spy.

Hillary Clinton is obviously corrupt and cannot be allowed to take office. She is at the head of a civil coup trying to take control of America.

He does not want her to be assassinated, but she must not be allowed to assume power.

Tim Kaine must not be allowed to assume power, as he is a CIA operative.

A second American revolution has been activated.

They want Clinton to be indicted for bribery, corruption, lying under oath and RICO charges.

Obama, the Podesta brothers, Loretta Lynch are all implicated.

A move to impeach Hillary will be enacted if elected.

Obama is a product of the CIA.

He’s calling on people to protest any Clinton win, calling it ‘rigged.’ Only a Trump win can be accepted or new elections will be held.

The voting machines are corrupted.

Trump will not accept a loss or will people in the intelligence community.

He is able to appeal to and has rapport with Chelsea Clinton, who he said was his source about the Clinton Foundation chicanery in Haiti.

‘This will continue as a revolution, hopefully civil, hopefully without violence.’

What the fuck did I just listen to? This is either the words of a very delusional man, who is sowing a fiction for us in real time, like one of his books. Or, he is a spokesman for a deep state operative giving us a warning, as he called it. Either way, this is both fascinating and somewhat alarming all at once. Thoughts?

Fucking thoughts?

Recent rigged polls in both N. Carolina and Virginia indicate that H. Clinton has lost any semblance of normality within her campaign and is now barrel-storming for a most heinous defeat. Immediately following the inauguration of D. Trump, he will appoint a new AG, who will then make it his life’s duty to execute H. Clinton, or have her rest in jail for the balance of her life.

I imagine such a man might be R. Giuliani or even C. Christy, if only to piss off the butthurt libtards to no end.

All of their plans and schemes to co-opt American agencies in order to further their treasonous and perverted brand of mercenary capitalism has been upended. The entire email scandal that we’re learning about today will be viewed in the same light as Watergate, a lesson for future generations about politics and corruption and how it intoxicates people into doing utterly retarded shit.

H. Clinton is a very lazy and stupid criminal, whose high tech schemes to defraud the American people are crumbling in front of the world. She’s playing an old game of smoke and mirrors in a modern era of hacked transparency. These establishment elite, the caitiffs of our virtual world, are no longer able to shape the narrative. Instead, very sincerely, it is defining them.

So, as election day nears and you ponder about your utopian vision of the world — filled with fuckheaded latte drinking, electric car driving misfits, take solace in understanding that H. Clinton was never a liberal candidate in the first place. Her policies would’ve racked this country with even more of the stupid policies pursued by the thin man in the White House, who chain smokes cigarettes under a portrait of George Washington. If elected, she’d likely pave the way towards World War 3, permitting the roaches to take over under a heap of rubble and hellish flames.

For the sake of posterity and our youth, it’s important that we at least give off the impression that our institutions respect and uphold the rule of law, otherwise this great experiment called the United Steaks will all go to shit.

Trump is your atomic bomb, detonating over DC — laying waste to the elite, reducing them to blood and guts, and other small body parts, to be festooned all over K street. We’re going to make America great again and Mexico is indeed going to pay. But first and foremost, we must toss Hillary Clinton in prison for a period no less than 1,000 years.

Yesterday I discussed the important topic, via new FBI files released to the people, that Hillary Clinton’s server was in fact hacked. One of the theories behind the private server, that was apparently not even remotely secure, was its purpose of being used as a ‘drop box’ for foreign governments. Deep into the deepest of rabbit holes, H. Clinton was passing off sensitive information to foreign governments by keeping it on this server.

The FBI might’ve found a smoking gun on the Weiner lap top and has been leaking information to the press since then, describing an uncooperative DOJ — thanks to Loretta Lynch and her preferred lifestyle of wanton corruption and criminality. It’s amusing that the chief criminal of the United States is being protected by the very person whose job it is to protect the rule of law.

FBI sources have said there is a 99% probability that this server was hacked by at least 5 foreign agents. Moreover, and most importantly, they are very likely to seek an indictment against Hillary and possibly all of the other nefarious characters involved in this case of massive corruption that threatens to destroy this country from within.
