I always take my signals, regardless of the news flow. It just so happens that the news flow on #terroristmonday is tragically sad.
A Russian Ambassador was assassinated by a man who appeared well-trained. An investigation into who ordered the killing is ongoing but early reports from a “Turkish senior official” says current investigation focused on gunman’s links to US-based Gulen network. Aka, there is speculation the West is behind the killing. Not good, even if only speculation.
A semi truck plowed into a crowded Christmas market in Berlin.
A shooting attack occurred in fucking Switzerland, the land of peace.
There were also reports of a gun fire at the US embassy in Ankara, Turkey—a site near the Russian assassination.
This is truly a sad day for humanity. Another sad day for humanity, and the timing of it rhymes with other historic atrocities.
People get crazy this time of year. Even in my hood, crime is on the uptick. Be safe out there.
Moving on, I have initiated a position short against the NASDAQ via QID:
I came into the opening bell short /NQ and managed to get out of the way before the huge buying surge. Then began re-shorting in the afternoon.
In short, my bias appear correct, so far. There’s a whole lotta week left.

Raul, stay safe out there in motor city. I saw a video shot here in Chicago. A couple of guys parked their car near a viaduct next to an open field park. The audio literally picked up five minutes of continous gun fire. You would swear you had just been dropped into The Iraq war.
Now, honest question… is the whole city like that video? Or just the hood?
Where do you think the guns are coming from? Those were high calibre rifle cracks… not legally obtained i presume
Inner city, south and west sides. North side is cubbie land, that is relatively gun free. The guns come from everywhere, but most probably Indiana the most. Found the video on you tube. Full disclosure, it was New Year’s Eve 1-1-16.
Found another video called “Chicago shooting guns”. It shows the weapons you can hear on the New Year’s Eve video. Two guys shooting into small body of water out of the way somewhere. Unbelievable fire power.
Detroit sounds like Beirut on NYE or when the Red Wings win
