SEE MY SHOCKED FACE

“The ChiComs are changing the trade deal rules? … whodathunk!”

Well now, here on a quasi Holiday where everybody can celebrate Columbus Day,

here come the ChiComs with a little “walk back” on the “China trade deal” over

the weekend … and even though it’s highly un-politically correct to say it, let me

be the one to say it … “you never trust Communists in anything … ever … and if

you expect the ChiComs to honor any deal they sign today or tomorrow to last

more than 5 minutes, then you’re a fucking idiot … period”! … they’ll only honor

what 1) can’t be verified or kept track of, AND 2) they’ll only honor what benefits

them IN THE MOMENT, and if that changes at any time, they’ll walk away and tell

you to pound sand … take your agreement and shove it! … in the end, only the

U.S. look like idiots, just to prop up the stock market.

And then like the true “soap opera” it is, here in the hours leading up to sunrise

in New York this morning, along comes another ChiCom Apparatchik singing

the praise of the “China trade deal” … :whoops!, elevator up anyone”? … I’m

thinkin' ChiCom leadership needs a stock market rally to liquidate some longs,

and sure enough the HFT’s give it to ‘em … and so, this sick, twisted game of

“whack-a-mole” with markets continues.

So we’re back at “UNCH-ED” on the DOW30, now what? … banks, the bond

market closed cuz of Chris, and no NADA for reports or FED PIE HOLES today

… in other words, a black hole for information today, and unless another POL

and/or Apparatchik steps forward between now and 4 PM EST, there isn’t gonna

be anything to trade … overnight saw decent flows, but whaddaya supposed to

do when the Mafia would give you better bid/offer spread rates than Turnkey?

… and so that’s a bust cuz I’m not gonna evahhhhhhh pay Vito Corleone rates to

trade … as will become apparent here shortly within days, this shit IS going to

stop!

Here in the Gotham PM, it’s dead … DOW30 hasn’t moved anywhere or done

anything … ditto pretty much everything else … going to cut out early today and

spend the time “prettying up” the “Traders Course” [TC] document, and finishing

the various Appendices … we’ll see what happens when the world comes back

from a 3 day weekend … until tomorrow mi amigos … Onward & Upward!!

Have a great day everybody!
