So Congress has called back the oil executives before their Mighty High-rise Desk of Deference to remind those greedy bastards of their place in the world. After all, the U.S. Government gives them some fucking table scrap tax credits. So why are gasoline prices at $4 a gallon?
Sweet. I cannot wait for the grand standing of our most desperate elected officials trying to score quick political points with people dumb enough to think this constitutes intelligent leadership, a.k.a. Independents.
Here’s a sweet idea. The oil executives should walk in and say something along the lines of “Hey, you’re right, take away the tax credits.” Nip this fucking thing in the butt right now, before it is permitted to become a penny show of cheap whores, like the kind your great-grandfather used to sneak into when he was fourteen.
I am in a very sour mood right now, so pardon me if I’m a little short. You see, I absolutely nailed this call on the dollar rally. I’m not going to take the time to link the post; just get your lazy ass up and start walking backwards until you find it.
Yet, I completely hosed myself, taking up this position in SLV thinking, “hey, 30% is the sizable correction I was waiting for.” Now I find myself blowing up my own wisdom with expedient decision making.
Apparently, you all will not be satisfied with such a drop. Silver must become so cheap that it will replace plastic as our go to material of choice. My children will suckle on silver pacifiers, because ones made from petroleum are “health hazards, and so damn expensive.”
I’m going to wait it out a little longer. Some part of me still believes I made the right move last week. For Christ’s sake, no action has even been taken to strengthen the currency yet! The dollar has really only rallied because literally no one believed in it. I can see us careening downward if actual steps were taken to shore up the dollar. Hell, maybe even if steps were taken to preserve it.
None of that has even happened yet. It’s just a looming possibility somewhere over the horizon.
I will abide a little longer, yes. But I don’t like the feeling in my stomach. No not at all…
