WTI Blows Out, War Looms, Stocks Are An Elaborate Trap

WTI mudstomped bear shitters to a pulp today, higher by 3.1%. This move was due to the likelihood of armed conflict with N. Korea, not because of economic growth. The specter of something dreadful happening in the world increases each and every day, the ultimate end game in having to deal with a balance sheet that reeks with anguish, $20 trillion reasons to collapse society.

Today’s N. Korea press conference had an air of professionalism to it, which made traders think those fuckers might really be serious.

The sell off was muted, down just 56 NASDAQS. While the carnage was significantly more severe in the tech sector, with some names down 10%, today was, more or less, a probing exhibition. In my estimation, today was a warning to those playing with fire, long stocks at record highs, placed at all time high valuations.

So the only logical thing to do was to sell it all, go long UVXY and YANG, then wish for the worst.

I did this with the comfort of having an entirely different portfolio that was higher today. Even still, if forced to bet, I’d say, definitively, we’re heading into thick weeds navigate by apex predators. You weak-links will be foisted onto the cold ice and ripped apart, from crown to foot, for having only ignorance as apprentice to your actions.

I, “The Fly”, transcend your world and have been several steps ahead of the masses for two decades long. While the losses I took today were most unfortunate, they were both necessary and vital in preserving my innate instincts for survival. I shall not be rocked to sleep by the homosexual operas playing in the foreground of this delicate market. Behind it all are people wholly interested in opportunity by way of destruction.

    This strategy of chasing trades and then writing some fancy mcfancypants prose is just awe-inspiring.

      That’s how big money is made. You will watch, learn, and then APOLOGIZE.

    Might be OK switch into natural resources using the dollar advantage while it is there. That would not be a calamity play, just the run of river like in the past.

    The Kimchee eating fat boy in NK has an internal problem and he’s trying to divert attention.

    If Trump squeezes NK’s floppy top too hard with enforceable sanctions, he’s going to do something extreme. Said another way, floppy top is not going to die of starvation. He would rather go out in a blaze of glory.

    If you corner a rat and it runs out of options, it’s going to bite you.

      Floppy Top saw what happened to Gaddafi and Hussein when they dared to defy arrogant USA presidents. Unlike those two dead knuckleheads, Floppy Top is the verified owner of yellowcake and he will gladly use it before he gets decapitated by street thugs ala Gaddafi.

      Thanks to inbreeding, Floppy Top is no rocket scientist (extra rocket man) and has the IQ of a toad. But even a toad knows that when there is a noose around your neck, you have to deploy the yellow… full stream.

    We all know what’s coming, but I coulnt for the life of me pull the trigger on a TLT or ZROZ position for some good old flight to safety. Treasuries bounced right where they should’ve as well. I’ll opt for cash and patience.
