Better buy some SPX and NDX puts — and some VIX calls — with all that’s going on — no?
That’s been a stellar strategy for years now as the shit continues to hit the fan.

Beginning to dread what will knock the SM down, as so far nothing has, for any length of time. It looked a bit toppy ystdy on some signals I use….all it did was stop going up.
As for the Donald….I see him as a pragmatist…..he has to get re-elected in 2020 and with all the hatred in the MSM, he is effectively campaigning non stop, the slightest slip and they are all over him.
I remember when Arnie was governor of California…..he couldn’t get anything done, no matter how sensible….The Donald is much smarter….he is getting crap for not building the Wall, but everyone can see it is the Dems stopping him….so they own every crime committed by a Gimmiegrant and u can bet the Donald will be ramming that down their throats, the closer the vote comes.
If we Brexit with No Deal, then it will a total non event, just like the Millenium one….but as of now nobody knows if we leave or not…..our politicians have gone insane and people are getting very angry.

There is continual schemes by rad. Muslims planning something here. Most are caught. The ones they have more problems with is the American young white man who grew snot for brains. If they ran into most pubs they call bars here or what’s left of them being phased out after baby boomers but would make short work of them if they ran in there with a knife and started yelling Allah Akbar.
The news say mass shootings? I doubt if it was anywhere near that concert in Europe.
No matter who they always seem to pick soft targets.

Mind you, it appears most of the attacks are from Americans.
However misguided Yankee aggression against Muslims has been since 911.

Like O’Rourke the dork there’s a lot of decoys wanting to run, maybe Biden too. He could be Trudeaus cousin but it a tutu and sombrero. The feminism of men is going to be our downfall. I’m glad it doesn’t apply to GBs.

From the same site–use the link in my previous post
Without renewed stimulus measures from the Fed, equities have topped out multiple times and refuse to move towards their previous highs. This suggests that the two month bounce is over, and that stocks will now fall back down to December lows and beyond. If the projections I made in January are correct, then the Dow will fall into the 17,000 – 18,000 point range from the end of March through April.
The facade is slowly but surely melting away, not just in economics, but everywhere. I predicted both the success of the Brexit vote as well as Trump’s win in 2016 based on the theory that the globalists would allow or even help populists to gain a political foothold, only to crash the economic system on their heads and then blame them for the disaster. So far my theory is proving correct.
Trump’s trade war continues unabated despite claims by many that it would be over quickly. Currently, there are no plans for a March summit between Trump and Xi, and the possibility of a summit anytime soon has come into question as Trump’s negotiations with North Korea fell to shambles last month. The negotiations are a farce and are not meant to succeed. I continue to hold to my position that the trade war is a planned distraction and that Trump is playing a role in a globalist scripted drama.
The facade of Donald Trump as a “populist candidate” is quickly ending. His cabinet is loaded with think-tank ghouls and banking elites, so this should come as little surprise. But there are still some analysts out there that naively believe that Trump is playing “4D chess” and that he is not the pied piper he now appears to be. What I see is a president that claimed during his campaign that he would “drain the swamp” of elites, then stacked his cabinet with some of the worst elites in Washington D.C. What I see is a president who argued against Fed stimulus measures and the fake stock market during his campaign, and who now has attached himself to the stock market so completely that any crash will now be blamed on him no matter the facts. What I see is a willing scapegoat; a president that is going to fail on purpose.

In terms of the Brexit, I still predict that there will be a “no deal” event, and that this is by design. The Brexit deal with the EU is slated to be decided in the next few weeks. A “no deal” outcome would be a perfect excuse for a major financial crisis in Europe, which is why I think it will happen. While sovereignty movements in the US will get the blame for the crash through Trump, sovereignty movements in the UK will get the blame for a crash in Europe through Brexit.
It is important to remind the public that this narrative is entirely false. The economies have been in a state of animated death since 2008. Central bank stimulus acted as a kind of fiscal formaldehyde, keeping the visible signs of the crash at bay for 10 years but also creating a bubble even larger and more destructive than the one before. The “Everything Bubble” has now been primed to explode with maximum damage in mind.
The Fed started the tightening process for a reason; the establishment is ready to start the “global economic reset”, and they have their populist scapegoats in place. The crash in fundamentals returned in mid-2018, and I believe that crash will finally be acknowledged publicly by the media in mid-2019.

That’s interesting. Rome was really big at one time. Christianity spread through them to the Scots too I believe.

Corbett report
Yes it’s true and shows how ignorant these teachers are.
One of my grandson the one who’s going to Australia so hope he learns what it can do to a economy is being fed that.
They are having a mock debate at school on eleminating the Penny because the mining hurts the environment.
I told him in short:
Without Copper and zinc he would have no cell phone, no TV , no electricity, no car, no safe and affordable water pipes, no safe steel for buildings and bridges that use zinc to prevent corrosion .
These earth metals are important in everyday life and infrastructure.
Imagine going off the grid. No electricity, hospitals people will die, city people will not get food trucked in and starve to death, no communication, no computers, no water, on and on.

Yeah, I don’t follow OI much either. I figure if there was a fool proof way to know the scum’s next move James Mc wouldn’t know what it is.
A lot of the shares – not all – are getting crushed on light volume, NEM and GG for example.
Maybe we have to go back to your $1280 number, although I’m not sure why we would HAVE to.
Talk about things that don’t make sense…OTOH, pm’s are so manipulated it never has made any sense.
Was really thinking/hoping that we were seeing the beginning of a much bigger move. Looks like the HUI has to go back to that 160-165 level, although who the hell knows if it will hold. Honestly, it seems you have to take profits on any 1-2% up move and hope like hell you don’t buy on the wrong day.
Quadruple witching tomorrow. OpEx of any kind has never been kind to us. Along with Fed Speak, Eco Numbers and everything else under the sun.

I don’t use OI much, as I reckon that is cooked as well as everything else, but James Mc does on GATA and he has shown that the scum have just gone shorter and shorter on this rally ….as OI has exploded in Au but strangely not in Ag.
Maybe OI is good, as they want to scare people away….but it is yet another win for the scum here.

Deep State Stock Market Logic
Download PDF Version
Even a modest bear market will go a long way towards destroying the deep state. Deep State operatives are buying outright to control the trend of the market. What is their alternative?
The choice is to invest more outright or have ones wealth completely devastated by natural market forces. The Deep State has absolutely nothing to loose by using their own resources to support the value they already have. The only alternative is to absorb a guaranteed loss and run the risk of ceasing to exist.
With corporations buying back stock and Deep State operators adding to and holding positions, stock is so closely held that that they have pretty much cornered the equities market. The law of large numbers is now on their side. It will take an actual catastrophe to put the market into a bear market mode. Predicting the timing of an economic catastrophe for me is not doable. Predicting an eventual catastrophe is a piece of cake. That is like predicting an engine will be destroyed by throwing a pinch of salt in the gas tank every day. It is easy to figure the engine will be destroyed but picking an exact date is not that easy.

I’m wondering if there is some deep genetic link between the Scots and the Aussies and it manifests after the third or fourth libation? ?
There are an awful lot of Irish in Auss.
