A few ways to get down



If you're in many countries the CFD market


or more easily, the futures options market, open now





I think we'll see the hit rate on predictions converge a lot closer to 50% than 90%, if we can keep it real here.

Is this how it's going to go...each side calling the other out depending on which way the market moves?

Call me when we have a daily close below 2850 on the ES. Then you can start selling in earnest.

Sold some at 16 last week. Will HODL the rest - playing with house money. They just raised $150M by diluting the stock, though. Meeting at the WH this afternoon.

Yeah like the signal you were supposed to give before the 13% carnage.

Yes. I know. As a numerical data set its eye-candy & junk analysis. But as calendar data it might be macro-representative of what the market will be. Nothing to do with Trump, more hyper-disruptive due to the pace of innovation.

The fact that 2017-2020 is in the eight is the minor value.

Whoever picked "up by almost 1,300 points" wins today's round.

Why would you? If you're holding long term. It hasn't even retraced 50% of the move it made over the past year or so (going back to the low put in around Dec 2018). Let's see what happens around the 2800-2900 level on the S&P before we start to panic.

From sep 2018 to dec 2018 the S&P dropped around 500 points. We still have about 100 points to go to equal that move...which, uncoincidentally, is around the 2800-2900 mark.

Fun how numbers always seem to work out in the markets.
Can you believe Alton the Great busts my balls about the above?

I posted the above on February 27 @ 11:43pm.

And the market pretty much has played out as I predicted.

And then Alton the Great tells me AFTER THE FACT how those levels were SO OBVIOUS even RAY CHARLES could see it....yet...he didn't tell me this BEFORE IT PLAYED OUT....only after...

Nice red boarding by you as well...if it was so obvious, you should have pointed out how simple and easy a call it was BEFORE it actually happened. Not after.
