THE DOG DAYS OF AUGUST

 

“Investment / Trading Finance 101 … do they teach this yet in B-School!?”

Just another day of “keep the Banana Republic alive” from the manipulators

… it’s Friday, so more than likely volumes will be non-existent, liquidity even

worse, and it’s “play day” for the scumbag banks … what propaganda financial

narrative gets floated today? … “Hail the casino, long live the casino!”


Welcome to the NYSE open of the cash “Stonks” market in the U.S. … where for

approximately the first 15 minutes or so each trading day, money launderers

gather from the world over to wash money through scumbag Wall Street banks

into “Stonks”, which then give the air of legitimacy for securing loans and other

financial horseshit … “the regulators pretend to regulate, and the market pretends

to trade”, and here we are again.


Well there ya go … more “scumbaggery & fuckery” via the consumer sentiment

numbers … stops anyone? … there’s a quick 100 index points down in less than

1 second … half the days range in 1 second or less! … I know, you got filled at the

bottom, and from there a nice bounce on bank bids … they buy your sell stop, then

bid it back up so they can sell it back to you 3 minutes later 50+ higher … is there a

problem? … again today, like most days lately, spikes from HELL [up & down]

anywhere 20+ index points and higher dominate the landscape, not even an hour

into this bowl of hot mess … dozens of these spikes, and yet the range is barely

200 index points … 10% or more on each spike, yet they go nowhere to nowhere,

and the champagne is on ice already for the banks once this bag of flaming dog

poo closes … throw in the little weenies wrapped in bacon, and it’s “trader

heaven” on the trading desks … not so much so for their clients, who I’m

guessing are boiling mad as Hell! … just another day of Hell for the “Muppets”.


Meanwhile, gold doing absolutely nothing … can’t rally, can’t break, an exercise

in futility to even get out of the spread … the market is gonna need a new

narrative to get gold going one way or the other, but for now it’s dead Jim,

stick a fork in it!


Oh, and here come the FED PIE HOLES via North Korea financial news, CNBC

… talking “blah blah, yada yada” to the choir type hacks infesting cable news, it’s

the usual 1) fight inflation, 2) rates higher, and 3) given enough time to blab

bullshit, higher rates for longer than the market is looking for … in a nutshell for

those of you still uniformed, this is the “Short Call” the FED Lounge Lizards are

now attempting to bring the “bubble” under control … you know, the one they

created … and they’ll keep talking shit and raising rates the more the “Spoos”

and other “Stock Bellies” like the DOW30 go higher … that they have no clue

what they’re doing is obvious, and that they will screw it up worse than if Biden

ran the FED is 100% guaranteed … this will not end well!


Now into the New York afternoon, and this is an embarrassment to the concept

of trading … nothing but banks scalping specs and little else, the “pain trade”

very much alive and well with the “3  steps up and 2 back” to a new high for the

day, that has ZERO VOLUME, that frustrates everyone … quite frankly, this is a

joke and not even worth commenting on any longer today cuz there’s nothing to

glean from any of this except to point out how “F-ING  CORRUPT” Wall Street is

… front running and stops … what the Hell else is there? … “Trading Ratios” [TR]

utterly stink, both in gold and DOW30, well below 3 … welcome to the dog days of

August … no trades today cuz there is simply nothing to do in either market

… risk $20 to make $1? … right, go ahead be my guest.


Coming into today, I really had very low expectations … Friday in August isn’t

anything to get excited about, but I didn’t think it would be this bad … gold is just

dead, and the monied crowd is fading the FED, ignoring the “short call” and

basically calling the FED’s bluff on rate hikes going forward, thus the frustration

with the “pain trade” … but I surely didn’t expect to see a 100 index point drop

in 1 second, followed by nothing but straight up the wall to a new high, where

there wasn’t any corrective action lasting longer than 3 minutes … just buy, buy,

and buy some more … talk about shorts getting squeezed, this is it … I can hear

the screams down here … and with very little volume & even less liquidity, it

doesn’t take much to goose this dog poo up on a Friday, and that’s what we’ve

seen … however, with ZERO corrective activity that either is near the open or the

close, you either buy the rally and pray somebody is a bigger fool than you, or

you sit … I sit, cuz I ain’t buying rallies, and for days now we can’t get this dog

poo to break on any sustained basis that then sets off a decent buy signal(s)

… and with ZERO movement now into the afternoon, what the Hell am I supposed

to do? … the Dow30 hasn’t moved 15 index points in the last 1 ½ hours … no,

this ISN’T TRADING!, cuz there isn’t any trading going on, only volume on short

squeezes, and thus the slow crawl … ughhhhhh! … we got 2 of the most volatile

markets going, and both this week acting like oat spreads … this too shall pass

I can assure you, and when it does I’ll be there to trade ‘em! 


Blog update on Sunday … outta here … “The future’s so bright I need 2 pairs of

sunglasses 😎😎, and my own Brinks armored truck” 💓!!

… Onward & Upward!!
