https://www.oftwominds.com/blogfeb18/what-changed2-18.html ... VelocityShares Daily Inverse VIX Short-Term ETN (XIV). Well structured product? ... RIP ... Circa 2016 https://capitalistexploits.at/2016/10/world-whack-short-squeeze-coming/ ... there's a little bit better way to express this. but “Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.” — Warren Buffett

who is Bill Priestap ? ps guest...

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11830/europe-governments-fake-news at the current trajectory, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Khmer Rouge, and that EU wack job from the 30's with the funny mustache got NUTHIN on 'modern' techno-collectivists ... i'm just sayin...

It doesn't make short term financial sense to them to build out the back office enough to process all the "know your customer" regs, so they are just slogging through a few backed up apps per day....Getting cut ahead in the que depends on how much 'money' you have for initial deposit. hth

jpm, ... getting you a transFender guitar for christmas next year...:rofl::rofl:

analyst, fwiw... I will start buying PM's in a week or so I'm using time, not price - so, maybe even at those price levels you mentioned ... zdo ps I would love them to go down... way way down. I'd buy all the way down... as part of moving out of dollars for the rest of my life. :missy: pps why don't you do a BTC thread? ie how come no one dares even mention cryto's on TL ... except for pro4xtrader... who it seems has never even conceived of a sell signal :rofl:

as I suspected all along https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-07/fbi-lovers-new-texts-expose-obama-complicity-he-wants-know-everything-were-doing

the big picture trading FX: stopped out at profit in all short USD and correlate trades. USD doing a nice ‘safe haven’ bounce (against ‘everything’ except CNH ??? some expert care to explain fwiw, I have been entering incrementing size USDCNH longs at under 6.29 and plan to start sizing up and adding more at 6.27 and better...) CL: Longs all hedged up but fixin to roll CL... what dumbass shoulda ‘rolled’ by going flat and waiting for an entry in CLH9 instead of hedging up ?? ... INDEX FUTURES... been up on the wheel trading tPAe and tiny time frames for days now... often quickly using Reverse button way before far away stops are approached... I’ve resisted temptations and have remained ‘almost careful’ on sizing... up sizing shorts throughout but surprisingly have managed not to ‘catch’ a bias virus...ie been bangin it long and short...even yesterday. Been waiting a long time for this kind of action... I’m LOVING these ‘good old days’ high volume, fat BA spreads, and 5-10 tick price changes - especially in NQ... but auctions should start to settle down a bit now... UST: Still piling up shorts in bond futures on the big handles... which ever way handles are hit

... like there have been no policy mistakes up to now... !!??!! We have one major 'policy mistake' that has been going on for over 150 years ... the ‘policy’ really getting some traction about 105 years ago at Jekyl ... https://www.sovereignman.com/trends/this-tiny-corner-of-rhode-island-shows-us-the-future-of-social-security-22908/

for chrise sake peeps ... like there have been no policy mistakes up to now... !!??!!

In 87, I choked. Not this time baby:) ... even captured a high % of the travel out of 4 of 5 longs yesterday ... just sayin...

Why and how we must fight to subdue FacebookGoogleTwitter ... ps pretty good week... again, thank the lord for overnight automation... packing it in. have a great weekend all.

Fakebook review: Fakebook no longer allowing any advertising related to financial products and services, including anything associated with initial coin offerings and cryptocurrency, binary options, etc etc... However, ads showing you how to prescribe yourself toxic pharmaceuticals still flying high ...btw If you’re still (why?) a Fakebook user, you can notify the company immediately by clicking the upper right-hand corner of the ad and reporting it. Btw ...according to Fakebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg, for the first time ever, daily use of Fakebook in the United States is actually shrinking – to the tune of about 50 million hours per day... At that rate Fakebook will soon be as dead as TL :snicksnick: (Hi guests, bye guests)

the FISA memo is coming... "This means a “near-blackout” will likely be put in place to shadow ban or outright ban websites, social media accounts, YouTube users and others who dare to cover details of the FISA memo. " Mike Adams ...just Sayin...

I like this ... but I always add a pinch or two more cynicism to the recipe https://www.oftwominds.com/blogfeb18/PC-elite2-18.html

fun ~3 min at 1.5 speed :rofl: we all " hate all of the above" btw

36 secs --- Bernie goes on Deface the Nation to assess the new tax law

Last week during an extensive TL conversation (about TL), I mentioned the great ‘dumbing down’ and increased ‘disturbance’. ie Many in the current and coming pool of young traders will instead be miserable recovering screen addicts who need to avoid ‘studying’ https://theconversation.com/with-teen-mental-health-deteriorating-over-five-years-theres-a-likely-culprit-86996 The consensus ‘theory’ that’s sucking everyone in is that it’s all the modern day ‘screen time’ combined with all the weird ‘conditioning’ of neurotransmitters via social media... but That doesn’t draw the whole picture! I’d suggest also looking at stuff like (play at 1.5 or 2 speed) ('poster' at ~37:50)(... someone please refute this for us... before the 5g take its toll on you )

"Attempts to address rising inequality with the old tools are fueling frustration rather than actual solutions" CHS. And - yes, to me, crytos are an old tool ... or at best only improvements on old tools - much like replacing a wood shovel handle with a metal rod surrounded by ergonomically correct fiber glass or plastic and adding graduated thickness and reinforcing ribs to the shovel itself... still just a fuckn shovel... same with cryto 'money' ... and so re stealing it ... > 'new’ ways of stealing https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/yw5yp7/monero-mining-wannamine-wannacry-nsa > old ways of stealing “My hodl is completely secure. No one can take it.” https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jan/28/cryptocurrency-trader-forced-at-gunpoint-to-make-bitcoin-transfer > ‘just bidness’ ways of stealing You Can’t Trust the “Trusted” Intermediaries Find your own link... news comes out about a Ponzi or theft or ‘loss’ at a cryto exchange almost daily... (and don’t forget the) > ‘legal’ ways of stealing In that link some idiot commented “Can't work because the futures market is too small. There are only a few thousand btc in futures contracts traded each day. It's peanuts compared to the actual bitcoin exchanges. In order for what you are describing to work, the futures market would need to be pretty large compared to the actual bitcoin markets.” Reality is more like - if the ‘need’ arises, ‘they’ can create contracts with a button push and overwhelm ANY buying pressures with shorts or vv. “Bitcoin futures; the perfect vehicle to manipulate Bitcoin Bitcoin futures provides a great venue for the big sharks to swallow up the silly sardines hoping to strike it rich. The big players can now manipulate the bitcoin market via the futures market. They can use fake money (worthless paper) to push it up or down, much the same way they did and are still doing with the precious metals markets. Which illustrates the lie behind the “Bitcoin is different” nonsense; Bitcoin is nothing but digital fiat; in some ways, its worse as anyone can issue their own cryptocurrency.” Sol Palha and mentioned before the real 'legal' way to steal it hasn't fully kicked in yet... tax it in and out >>> and finally - self ‘stealing’ from self

the big picture trades Taking another ~1/3 off the table on the short USD and correlate trades. Locking in hedge on CL on nearly half the position... trailing the stop up to just above 64 H on the rest... ‘Ease of movement/travel’ is still up on the various indexes... however, 'ease' has been ‘rolling over’ this week ... and it’s time for a correction Still piling up shorts in the bonds on the handles... which ever way handles are hit http://davidstockmanscontracorner.com/flying-blind-part-1-how-bubble-finance-destroys-economic-efficiency-and-rationality/ Just sayin Have a great weekend. See ya’ll next week... maybe

Mits, Insist? I let it go long ago... and just thank the lord I don’t need this place. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/jan/23/never-get-high-on-your-own-supply-why-social-media-bosses-dont-use-social-media'>https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/jan/23/never-get-high-on-your-own-supply-why-social-media-bosses-dont-use-social-media My audience here is miniscule and I only need to do a better job with them... As far as damage goes...and “What chance is there for a return to the 'glory days'” etc - imo, the intolerance of the smart posters edges out damaging TL more than the bot echo chamber dumb posters do across the years. And neither are ultimately to blame. We’re looking at multiple generations now of dumbed down... and the results are starting to show. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/jan/23/never-get-high-on-your-own-supply-why-social-media-bosses-dont-use-social-media Re:AI " never spoken" / “swear at the fukcre” - That’s funny, mits .
