Because you don't understand the DJIA like Ana does.  And you also don't understand consumer confidence.  Or inflation.  Or supply chain pressure.  Or burning bridges with all of your trading partners.  You just don't get the 20-D chess that is being played here.  This is what things getting BETTER looks like.

BTW - how are all the markets whose indices I do not understand doing today?  All up I guess…

Looks like blood in the streets. The play is still the same imo. Trade the volatility. Just bought 2 more sept 550 calls. YMMV.

Someone needs to do the Aggy roller coaster: “Nobel peace prize talk”, “Biggly DJIA increase” “ Early tariff talk setback”, “Clap-on, Clap-off tariff promise”  “JPow threats”

Flag at half mast for Pope is worth a red live update headline, unlike the thousand point Dow drop.

And the libs at Forbes are just making people upset for no particular reason.

"By predicting event X -- before it even begins."

Yes, I mean....that IS how predictions work.  Now personally, my preferred practice is to predict things after they've already happened.  For example, I predict that Texas will sweep Auburn in baseball last weekend.  I also predict that Pope Francis will die right after Easter.  PRO: my accuracy rate is 100%.  CON: the timing of my predictions doesn't leave a lot of room for people to act on them.  Oh well, everything has a downside.

Panic-y Trump is the most genuine Trump.

All of the bad news coming in on the economy gives him some cover for the bad news coming in about the department of defense abortion. 

I expect some huge tantrum today to try to change the headlines to something else. 

Trump announces his plans to rename Greenland ‘East Virginia’, thereby balancing out the state!”

I honestly do not think Trump understands why his whiny, (fix it Daddy,) attacks on Powell are so concerning to the markets.  Stock AND Bonds!!!!!  This is where you wish there were more strong smart people around him.  But like I said am betting against a bad CEO, surrounded by uniquely unqualified management nearly universally across the board.  Nothing like taking a little breathing room from a 90 day tariff reprieve... and then upping the ante with a destruction of the stability of the US Central Bank.  

I hope like fuck I am wrong, and I get burned bad on my short bet.  But I am very, very afraid, that we are about the go back in time financially about 3 years in two trading days in the not too distant future.  Again hope I am fucking wrong.

The market is certainly fickle and emotional at this point and the current administration appears to have blinders on when it comes to their emotional toll on whipping the markets one way or another. Do it too much and a lot of investors are going to sit with cash for a very long time until they know they won’t get burned by a temper tantrum and baffling behavior in international trade negotiations.

I was thinking that there was a Star Trek that reminded me of our current times.  Look up "the Squire of Gothos."  If you are an old like me and still remember shit.  Hilarious that Liberace is playing today's Trump role.  

Posted

I think there are a lot of people still expecting the administration to cut quick deals and roll the tariffs back.  I don’t think they understand there isn’t a rewind button here.  This isn’t getting quickly undone.

When 50% of our country has no savings or 401k, I can tell you there is a significant contingent of voters who are loving this. If you have nothing, why wouldn't you want to burn it all down and start over. They have nothing to lose. And trump amplifies this way of thinking.

Correct. What we need is for them to start losing their jobs and off the charts inflation. Hitting them from every direction.

Recessions sure as shit hit people with no 401k.
The world is 1) fleeing US investments, 2) fleeing US treasuries, and 3) fleeing and weakening the dollar. JPM is up to a 90% likelihood of a recession coming right soon.
But see, none of them understand the DJIA and smart trade policy like Ana does. The genius outcome is headed our way any minute now. Annnnnnnnny minute now…..

You are clowning yourself brisket. It doesn't take much to understand that the DJI is an very flawed index. The post I responded to was a clown post, the dip on that day was driven by one stock, which just exemplifies the underlying issue with the DJI. Like the top 4 stocks drive 25% of the index. I am sorry i guess that pointing out these very basic things triggers some ledge dwellers like you. The fact that a handful of you have to continually mischaracterize to get any traction only speaks to how weak your takes are.

Potato is the new currency.  Tell me I’m wrong.

Hershey chocolate bars, my grandparents (who come from Germany in the early 1930's) hoarded them and hid them from each other. My grandfather said that it was a more stable holder of value than the deutschmark during the depression. 

We found almost 100 hidden in their basement, kitchen, attic and garage when they moved to an old folks home in about 1972, it was a house they bought in the early 60's. They would rarely eat them, or bake with them, but they loved to but them.

Says the man who thinks that an economic approach that has the world - not just China, the whole fucking world and everyone in it - dumping 1) our assets, 2) our debt, and 3) our currency….is 10-D chess.
I’m perfectly good with where you and I stand relative to each other. And yes, I know what your point re the DJIA was…which was also a deflection from the fact that the market as a whole, not just the DJIA, has been taking a massive dump with no sign of arresting the trend.
I’m going to nod my head largely in agreement with what the guys at JPM are observing, not a self-styled brain genius on surly who thinks the exact opposite.

You are only proving the point of that last sentence you quoted. Do whatever the guys at jpm tell you with your trades. I’ll keep running my play.  

And maybe…just maybe…the economy is about more than betting right on the stock market. A guy can make a lotta money betting on destruction….which is still destruction.
Celebrating a plague because you invested in coffin futures is certainly an approach.

Are you sure? Next thing that you are going to tell me is that maybe the outcomes aren't measured in timeframes of 24 hours.

Sorry if the vapors of American consumerism are going to get a little more difficult to huff when you can't off shore slave labor and turn the other way cause meh quarterly reports. Suck it up buttercup.

Trust in a market and economy is definitely built in long-term timeframes.
Trust in a market and economy - like trust in anything or anyone - can be destroyed in 24 hours. Less, even.
Trust destruction? Going swimmingly.
Any inkling of even a coherent foundation for building a long-term trust? Nope.
You are siding with the economic strategy of a man who literally made up a fake authority that is an anagram of his own name to cite in his book. This is fantastic. That you are all-in on it with zero chance of ever admitting you might have it wrong makes it even better.
