What a Horrible, Horrible Day

I woke up in my deathbed with the stiffest neck a man could have. I had to drive my kids to school and I was in a cosmic world of agony for the entire trip. Robotically, I made my way home — took a sojourn into my kitchen and ate a bowl of flavorless, flat gruel.

After that I took a gambit in GLBS — got plugged for 5%. Booked a steep loss in COUP, and generally entertained inside Exodus for the balance of the day. Almost forgot, I made some shrimp paella for lunch and that was great.

Other than that, I had just SIX stocks up today, with some of my largest positions, like NUGT, really down for the day. I did not enjoy the trading day, the chop, and all of the discord that is accompanied with bad tapes. I was going to kill myself, but decided against it — since tomorrow might be an up day.

Exodus had recently flagged oversold and I’m confident that algorithms are back on track again, having been tested through the fires of late 2018.

I bid you farewell and a good day. Hopefully, for the sake of all of us here, nice longs and good people alike, tomorrow will be a much better day.

    Some of the best prose I have ever read!

    Why were shippers up today? I tried to follow-up, but could find no news. Perhaps that is why CTRM is down 50% from it’s intraday highs, down 10% from yesterday.

    The problem with hunting minnows (microcrap trading) is that there are are ALWAYS bigger fish trailing right behind you. There are Algos followign Twitter, and I presume some following this blog as well.

    Strategy: hold 30 year bonds, buy TVIX when VIX falls below 15.
    Much more realxing than fighting the NFLX horde (once DIS announces their video service, I’ll take another crack).

    Forex play: GBP/USD,FXB,6B….

    Likely a significant long term bottom being put in place. Soft Brexit/HardBrexit – I don’t give a shit….British pound rips vs the USD in coming months ahead. US Dollar destruction is inevitable at this juncture.

    Sleep Well. Put on some K. Leimer on to relax https://youtu.be/QLzJzxK7a4A and warm-cold-warm -cold- warm on your trapezius,posterior triangle and sternocleidomastoid to relax and confuse the spasm. There’s a great Rx brand name Voltaren Gel for this.

    Go see your primary care physician. Need to make sure this does not require medical assistance.
