Futures are 4 points to the downside this evening, setting up for a poor opening on Monday. Does anyone still put any credence into the god damned futures market anymore? The people who trade futures must be halfway retarded fortune tellers who enjoy to be beaten about the face and chest with war-hammers.
I don’t get it.
Each and every day, the god damned futures are down 4. Sometimes it gets real panicky and they go down 9 or 10. By the time the market opens for trade, they are flat and then the market pistol whips all of the futures traders–again– soaring 200, goose-stepping on necks and eyebrows all the way to the bank. I’d rather sit in a room, by myself, and eat lemons all day, instead of trying to predict the future of the market, on a tick by tick basis, with leverage to boot.
I am sure some people have gotten rich trading futures. It’s easy to see how. Make the right trade and voila, presto: you’re rich. But you’re not gonna keep that money, pal. The house always wins and in this case, you’re not the house.
No matter how much money you have, the futures bandits will take it, snatch your gold chain and leave you in the gutter begging for a roasted beef sandwich. If you want to gamble and have very little regard for personal health and life expectancy, trade equity options. As you know, I had my run with options here and had to stop, since my addictive personality was causing it to be a ‘going concern’ for house Fly. I am sure I’d blow up my entire fortune, fantastically in equity options, if given free reign over the families assets. Like any responsible wife, on occasion, I am placed in cheque, convinced to discard my inner savage, who’d be content spending all day and night trading the options market, whilst drinking single malt scotch from the bottle. It takes a strong woman to tame a predator hawk, such as myself, flying about the woods, picking up men and throwing them off the mountainside– not for necessity, but for pleasure!!!
