Here’s the fag-heavy Bloomberg thread, an active discussion, regarding Trump’s wonderful trade war — tonight enacting over $200 billion in tariffs to the dog-eating nation of China.
There’s a lot of theories about trade deficits and most people on Wall Street think the whole deficit complaint is Main Street bullshit. After all, Apple makes their iPhones in China and we love cheap $1,000 iPhones. I tend not to get bogged down in political thinking, or even nationalistic thinking. I really don’t care. It’s the craziest thing in the world. I know — since I’ve been on the other side of the fence, really caring about thy country. Fuck it — don’t care who wins or loses. None of those fuckers care about me. I’m forced to pay almost $20 at the fucking Staten Islan bridge toll just to get back into NJ. Fuck their trade wars and fuck the victors.
The only thing I care about is how can I profit from it.
By the looks of it, futures off by 200, Nasdaq off by 50, is a lot of horse dung. We already knew this was going to happen, so this is reactionary nonsense. I suppose traders thought it was all a joke. Yeah, it’s all a joke until your pantaloons shit its own pants and costs you $50 at Target.
Buy dips. Make a habit out of it. Trump’s lunacy has a way of creating art out of feces. Somehow, someway, this negative newsflow will morph into another great trade, one filled with brutish rapes and all sorts of tortures for the bears.
My quant fund is 20% cash and my active account is 30%, so I consider myself to be supremely positioned for an opening downtick.
Let the real games begin, starting with wiping out the margin buyers.

CNBC Fast Money…..I know, I know. Opened with a segment Fake Out or Break Out.
They were going break out to new highs. Other than Feb- March where oversold readings often went deeper, past 3 months have had nice moves off undersold reads.
Glad I cleaned house on this last rally to sell some under performers.
Go eat a sandwich and again wait for next oversold (or near) flare.
KYS
These are general geopolitical headlines from the last 24 hrs. There are at least 3 narratives slightly entering deterioration or hostility. Fucking teevee commenters musing breakout-or-not on a tape which looked clearly timed and engineered are such puppet tool twits

…a bit of blowing smoke up your own skirt given that you got long oil-related stocks. 20 cents from now – below $73.65 – I will short oil and make big monies.
Fly keeps stating that the trade war has been put in the past.
What a puny intellect.
Fly cannot process that there’s a programming regime over the stock market, affirmed and evidenced over and over again, playing games with both long and short sides. There was no reason whatsoever for the indexes to manifest the last 4 sessions of tripledigit dow surging, and on examination it reveals to be fairly or very fabricated.
The last 4 sessions were a game. The fly’s intellect remains puny.
$200B is the headline number. Its $20 Billion. Big fucking deal
This isn’t about a trade war. This is Trump throwing the gauntlet down on industrial espionage and IP theft.
Bill Gates, Tim Cook and Art Levinson are going to lock themselves in their closets tonight, turn out the lights and do a series of fist pumps in the air.
Quit being retards, morons. The Fly is gonna crush your skulls tomorrow.
Dr Copper has pre AIDS. Where they but it sooner than later. But looks like Nigeria nonetheless. No tape for old Aboriginal Men.
“buy” For the trade war fags.
Methinks i’ll buy a bunch of stocks tomorrow, only a common whore would think this isn’t a buy opportunity. SAD that all the bullshit at like Party City and knock off Fendi bags will cost a shitload now….
Ah, Mr. Fly. This was the news I was waiting for. We’ll finally see the fallout from a large bulk of the tariffs. Citizens of this great land will have to come to terms that a trade war is on. I’ll be buying into any significant weakness.
