FEAST OR FAMINE

“Thanks, I’ll stick with famine today!”


And so it goes in the word of FX, as the entire world [except the U.S.] takes the

day off to celebrate Communism & Socialism, the twin Evils directly responsible

for hundreds of millions of deaths in the 20th Century … anything for a day off I

guess … and that means FX is crawling and VIX pitiful … expected this really,

but you never really know.


Not much anybody is gonna glean from today’s sick action, although I will note

the U.S. 10 YR Treasury is up at 2.97%, and a breach of the 3% level to the upside

would be considered somewhat of a big deal from a technical perspective and

could encourage some dollar buying … we’ll see, but I’m doubtful anything can

be maintained before the FED on Wednesday … of note, “Stock Bellies” & gold

looking especially weak, and I got to wonder what the Lounge Lizards will be

thinking if the “Spoos” go sub 4000 before they even get to their first 50 bps rate

hike? … where’s the floor Spicoli? … “everything is in the best of hands isn’t it”?


Past the London Fix now, and when it takes USDJPY 30 - 40+ minutes to go 8 PIPS,

you pretty much know the entire world is at the “Communist Manifesto Barbecue”

somewhere, and that trading has taken a back seat on this quasi Holiday for

malcontents … about the only thing trading is crude oil [almost a $5 range today

ho hum!] … and speaking of which, today sees Turnkey with a 2 cent spread

… what level of “scumbaggery & fuckery” is this? … quite frankly, I don’t trust

the LP’s to maintain this, cuz in my mind it’s a trap … take a position with a 2

cent spread, and watch seconds later the spread at 7 … oh you know, “market

conditions” and all that shit … I DON’T TRUST ‘EM! … let it stay here for a few

days and let’s see, but I will almost guarantee that isn’t gonna happen … OPEC+

meets later this week, so there’s that as well, right along with the FED.


No trades today in anything … outta here before my brain freezes … “The future’s

so bright I need sunglasses”!! 😎😎 … Onward & Upward!!
