Markets Will Be Painted Orange Tonight — Time to Get In

I am +5 on my XIV purchase from this morning. I am expecting the Orange Gorilla will pull a junta tonight, arresting members of congress on live teevee as he reads the newly disclosed memo.

Rumor has it, Trump will not release the contents of his State of the Union speech tonight, instead opting for a pleasant and raping surprise. This would be the first time in 55 years a President has pulled such a stunt. I know you grow weary of change, but sometimes it’s interesting, as well as funny.

I have all of the confidence in the world that today’s misery will lead to tomorrow’s ebullience. As such, I am riding into the close long equities, positioned keenly on XIV — eagerly awaiting The Orange God to smite his enemies and paint DC red.

    If the puzzle piece of a deepstate market showing a threat, to Trump, just as a choking point arises, the Memo release, comes relevant

        Trump sounds like a cokehead with his deep inhales. sheesh. He could probably snort 5gr of cocaine in one pull the way he breaths during SOTU speech.

      On the Russia thing: it seems likely that the main collusion is no different that Douche Bank: breaking laws to make a profit. It seem unlikely Mueller will find evidence that he giving away trade secrets, or anything that greatly imperils national security.

      Also, look at it this way: even if he gets impeached by the House, he will be aquitted in the Senate. Best case scenario is that the Republcans lose 8/8 Senate seats and Demcoarats maintain 24/24 of theirs (how likely is that…). This would still leave the Republicans with 43 seats, so they 20% of the Republcan Senators would have to vote for impeachment.

      So he may get impeached in 2019, but will still serve his full term.

    Agreed, Trumo will not realese SoU address in advance. That would run contrary to everything we know about him:
    1) he is secretive (tax returns?)
    2) he likes to do things differently than other presdidents, just for the sake of it
    3) he is spontaneous and unscripted, so he might make changes on the fly instead of reading the teleprompter straight
    4) he has a big ego and low self-confidence. so he wants people to watch, listen, and pay attention. This forces peopel to tune in if they want to know what he is going to say. Good for eyeballs, if not ratings.

        Still, it will be a waste of time.

        Another difference from Trump and his predescessors: while most politicians *evade* or *obfuscate*, Trump just lies. So his address will give little insight into policy.

        Re-read his inaugural speech. Border portection has been the one thing he followed, while completely betraying the working class.

        The only reason to watch is to observe his body lanaguage to see if he knows that he is lying. I’m no expert, but it very interesting to watch simple actions like head nodding “yes” or shaking “no” in contrast with the words or eyes darting around when searching for a thought.

        Of course, Trump is so delusional – in the most literal sense – that he could lie and still believe it himself, so his body language would not indicate anything.

    Because his Davos speech was so well received, I’d be inclined to fade these hightened expectations.

      But 99% of Davos hates him; only 40% of US.

      * +/- 1% since I estimated these numbers.

      Thanks for the link. To be clear, my point is that the penalty for breaking financial laws is well worth the profits. The public doesn’t seem to care much if you rip off the US government (ie, taxpayers), just as long as you don’t rip off consumers *directly*.

      One thing that few people noticed: in the CR that the Rs and Ds just passed, they added a 2-year postponement on Obamacare taxes for “Cadillac” health care plans – like the one Congress has. Didn’t see Democrats or the news media make a peep about that. So basically Congress shut down the governement, then gave themselves a raise for reopening it.

      “SEC. 4002. DELAY IN IMPLEMENTATION OF EXCISE TAX ON HIGH COST EMPLOYER-SPONSORED HEALTH COVERAGE.
      Section 9001(c) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is amended by striking ‘December 31, 2019’ and inserting ‘December 31, 2021’. ”

    Pelosi was practically apoplectic on CNN today. It is ALL about Russia you know.
    Watching the wheels come completely off that wagon over the next couple months will be high level entertainment.

    Trump recites applause lines to rubes.
    Trump gets slapped on the back and is told he is the best ever.
    Trump’s gets mad at someone and spews vitriol on twitter.
