SPEED OF LIGHT … CRICKETS

“This ain’t your Grandma’s DOW30!”

From second to second each and every trading day, nobody has a clue when the

next market moving “bomb” goes off, thus either sending stocks spiraling lower

and gold higher, OR stocks go ballistic on the upside and gold gets the

“Thelma & Louise” treatment … Apparatchiks on both sides of the globe play the

game for MAX benefit to themselves, while at the same time downplaying the

effects on the world of investment finance … why should today be any different?

… last night as I went to bed after a very quiet Asian session, I wake up this

morning, turn the machines on, and all hell has broken loose, thanks to the

Chicoms, and maybe some extent “Brexit” … I have no idea how very large

money managers cope with this shit.

As the criminal element in New York comes in to trade today, markets are reeling

lower, and already the DOW30 is 300 lower, and round up the usual suspects

regarding the ”China trade deal”, the biggest scam the world has ever seen, where

HFT’s get a case of the “vapors” every time a headline somewhere crosses the

wire with the word “China” in it, and we either plummet or moon shot … today so

far, sees plummet.

Far more serious, is the loss of hegemony the U.S. exerts on the world of finance,

where each passing day/week/month, other parts of the world are having a far

greater effect on asset prices than anything the criminals in New York or D.C. have

to say about anything … and when you consider 1) how much physical gold both

Russia, China, & India are accumulating, 2) the major attempt to get oil priced in

anything but dollars, 3) the fact that Russia and China are building an alternative

to the SWIFT financial network, thus by passing the FED for international

settlements, I’m wondering what year the U.S. becomes a third world nation and

won’t be able to finance a frickin’ taco? … the way things are going, I’d say it’s a

helluva lot sooner than most of you can imagine.

So today appears to be “risk off” … until the next Trump tweet, or utterance by

some corrupt as hell ChiCom Apparatchik, and the light switch goes back on,

and it’s “speed of light” ‘till the next time … if you think the world’s elites are

playing the markets as “chumps”, you’d be spot on in your analysis. No matter

what you read or hear, it’s all “Kabuki theater” for leverage over the opponent,

until somebody’s economy can’t take it anymore and that side bails and makes

concessions … this shit will never end … it’s simply “cold war economics”,

back & forth it goes “ad infinitum nauseum” while the Apparatchiks shuffle paper

between bureaucracies … “hey, we’ve always been at war with Eastasia”!

Almost Noon in Gotham, and since everything happened overnight, there’s little

left for the scumbag LP banks to do but chop the living shit out of things … and

so, no matter the market, it’s one great big bag of warm spit as far as market

movement is concerned, and specifically in the DOW30 it’s nothing but really ugly

spikes from hell, both up and down, that go nowhere but simply ravage stops in

the process and benefit the scumbag LP’s … quite frankly, the M1 chart of the

first 2 hours of NYSE trading looks like a plate of noodles thrown up against a wall

… really bad trading conditions on all the bullshit going on at the moment, from

China to Congress and the complete “clown car show” there, to rumors of capital

controls into China … the ramifications of panic up and then panic down are

moving traders to the sidelines and making things worse.

And to make matters worse, not that it really matters much cuz nothing is

happening at the moment to give us any algorithm buy signals in the DOW30,

Turnkey’s scumbag LP’s since about Noon-ish, have blown the DOW30 spread out

to about 4 - 5 index points … no reason really, except pure greed and stupidity,

and when nobody trades it and the idiot banks realize their revenue stream has

dried up, somebody in power will change it … I’d bitch to Turnkey, but they aren’t

gonna do shit about it except to say, 1) we have no control over the spreads, or

2) “duh, market conditions, duh”, so it’s a complete waste of time dealing with

these morons … been there, done that, so what’s the point? … amazingly, though,

nobody else seems to be having this problem, only Turnkey.

And as I write, here about 12:45 PM EST., the DOW30 blasts higher 120 index

points in 3 minutes, off who knows WTF? … and again, no matter the news, at

some point they ALWAYS crush the shorts, and in an “80/10/10” market, it can be

expected … and again, “speed of light … crickets”, with no way for the

algorithm’s parameters to either catch up or be concurrent with whatever the

HFT algos are doing in nanoseconds … yup, it’s complete money laundering,

theft, bullshit by those that can … sink 100 million into a nanosecond network

and you can play this game to!

One really good algorithm buy signal, but I’m not taking it cuz the bid/offer spread

is 5 - 6 index points … I’m not paying extortion to trade … fuck Turnkey, fuck their

LP banks … quote whatever you want, it doesn’t mean I have to trade with you

… and yes, it’s disappointing as hell … you wait all day for the prime algorithm

signals, and when you get one, they pull this bullshit … but you know, crooks

& thieves and all that shit we already know about.

And now time for some more spikes from hell horseshit, brought to you by the

FED, where at exactly 2:30 PM EST, Spicoli’s horseshit prepared remarks at a

chicken luncheon in Denver, gives the DOW30 the “Yips”, and the excuse once

again for the Turnkey scumbag LP banks to jack the spread back to 5 - 6, PLUS

whatever slippage won’t get them indicted … trading conditions at this point

today are a complete joke … simply untradeable at the moment, probably worse

than gold right now, and that’s saying a lot … many better places to trade, where

we can get stable stock indices spreads [DOW30 & DAX30 ESPECIALLY] with NO

commissions, and we’re talking to some now … stay tuned mi amigos.

And since they’ve just screwed the shorts [twice], now it’s time to screw the

longs, cuz at 2:57 PM EST, here comes a Trump tweet on China escalating the

rhetoric RE visas, and it’s a “shitshow circus” to the tune of an M1 with a range

of 161 DOW30 points to the downside … anybody with a sell stop, complimentary

condolence’s therapy after the close at the nearest bar … I mean, WTF do you do

with this? … add to that what the scumbag LP’s are doing, and it’s a miracle

anybody has any sanity left … until tomorrow mi amigos … Onward & Upward!!

Have a great day everybody!
