{quote} ya man, if it follows oil it will tank. I'm waiting on a stack of cash for an oil short squeeze to rip my face off. I'll close all 30 contracts at 38 if we can capitulate down there
If it was me and I had that big of a string I would be peeling some off in the low $40's. We is prolly just a few days (weeks, months?) away from the next big war there in Persian Gulf.

SPY opened the week $242.9x, looking to close $242.50+? another dead week...
another week, another snooze - spoos opened Monday 2,444.55, looks like it will close around 2,437. Made a new ath at 2,453.03 on Monday. Shit volume today @ 1,500MM against recent avg vol @ 3,500MM....expect more of the same unless we see the usual tweets n twicks...

".....Washington may do little if anything to stop a direct war between the two old adversaries. And Russia may go along with this scenario, as higher oil prices will benefit its own oil producers.

Paradoxically, a direct war will benefit the Saudi Kingdom, too. Higher oil prices will pave the way for its Aramco IPO; and give a very much needed break to its over-exploited oil wells.

Still, an outright war carries high risks for both Saudi Arabia's and Iran's regimes, especially if it involves many casualties. That makes the scenario possible but not probable, at this time. ...."

Fool, looking like your bears are sharpening their claws. I took a punt on some ES futures short from 2445. Just a swing down to 2400. but only risking 5 pts to 2450.

Also bought DIA sept 215 Puts for 2.00. Figure 209 is in the cards.

Not sure exactly whats going to drive the markets down, but the charts sure as hell are insinuating at least a short term break in the trump train party.

Ya so Ackman closed out his trade on VRX for a $4bln loss and it gapped down under $11 in after hours. I want to buy it
Closed this thing today at 17.... after buying a boatload of ratio spreads on it at 11. My lone highlight stock trade as of late. Everything else is dead in the water.

help from the talking heads today, maybe spoos can print a decent red weekly candle? I have a Jun30 SPY put fly $239/235/231...paid 25c for it weeks ago, flatlining spoos tried to kill it, maybe I might get out at b/e or a little better if the slide gets some mo

the press will talk shit about Trumpcare all over the long weekend. If it looks like Trumpcare is gonna die this Summer, the Trump admin will start to look like a lame duck just 6 months in, the Trump Trade will finish deflating, and DJT will have no choice but to start WWIII.

Agreed, well, its either a DJT WW3 or we all get killed in the nuclear winter from the Yellowstone supervolcano eruption. We all got it comin one way or another.

Till then I'm not closing my DIA puts. A ELE volcanic eruption should be good for at least a 3pt drop on the diamonds

...out Tuesday for a net gain 40c +/-. I have a few more SPY bear call spreads out to Aug18, some miscellaneous lotto ticket VXX & UVXY call spreads, otherwise pretty much flat.

BTFD still the word so if we get a multi-day slide in US equities I'd have to fade it with an eye to the rally off TrumpCare getting through Congress....prolly nothing new for me til next week.

{quote}....hell maybe 5...we are so far overdue...

haha well I got my sept 215s runnin hot in the water, so we will see. Bought em for $2 and some change, bid is 5.20 now. Could see a pretty big vega spike too if this thing accelerates.
I'm in this like 1/10th as heavy as the big dirty short. But that's alright. it will more than offset(if it gets there) my face getting ripped off on my Fibre and cable shorts. Jesus, wtf at the greenback getting pounded? Back to 92 for another run to 103 maybe?
