where the hell is Esperance?

"In 1979, pieces of the space station Skylab crashed onto Esperance after the craft broke up over the Indian Ocean. The municipality fined the United States $400 for littering.[13] The fine was paid in April 2009, when radio show host Scott Barley of Highway Radio raised the funds from his morning show listeners, and paid the fine on behalf of NASA.[14] Skylab's demise was an international media event, with merchandising, wagering on time and place of re-entry, and nightly news reports. The San Francisco Examiner offered a $10,000 prize for the first piece of Skylab to be delivered to their offices. Seventeen-year-old Stan Thornton scooped a few pieces of Skylab off the roof of his home in Esperance, caught the first flight to San Francisco, and collected the prize."

Finally the dirty and shiny are moving the right way. Added more to the dirty few days ago. average entry is now 53.24. I dont wanna stomach another short squeeze like that. on paper I'm up 26% YTD if I closed out now. but no guts, no glory right? I'm actually looking to keep pressing my advantage on my quasi-bigly shorts.

I'm feeling you on the equities. I've just given up on most major indexes and put some long term bullish ratio spreads on. Hardly any premium to collect and they eat up my margin but eventually the markets will break right?

I'm just gonna trade more actively in the forex and futures markets. Seems like those markets actually are moving about in a tradeable fashion.

dead flat markets after the NFP, no surprise.....I'd guess we get some rally action next week, when the Macron victory will signal that Europe is being made safe for globalism and multiculturalism...

bravo Wulfgar, dirty & shiny still sliding, WTI breaking into $45's, I will let you buy me some rainbow shave ice...

Bro, its gonna get there one day. Luckily IB lets me automatically roll these contracts forward via cheap futures spreads...

I literally have been MIA on these markets. The Vix hitting these 20+ year lows in incredible. Can we see a monthly close <10?

Come out to the Big Island man, its like living on the edge of the world. Never seems to get old to me. I know a few places that make a mean shaved ice for sure.

On the trading side, I want to get short Cable if we pull back to 1.2940 or so on my new play FX account, I can see a nice 8:1 there. Looking at selling some size on yen futures if that market can go back and get close to the 0.9000 level.

I'm sitting long on loonie futures, flat euro, still short aussie and looking to add more. Missed adding more to my dirty shorts at the 48.20 level this AM because I was surfing and didn't want to put the pending order in. Shiny could see a bounce from the 1225 back to 1250..it would be cool to get to 1260 to short more. If not, I'm not worried.

Stocks are in a world of their own. I got my watchlist but nothing really new to report. I may sell some put spreads on TSN today...their chicken looks overcooked and could consolidate here or get a bit of a bounce.

...I lost interest many weeks ago, am just biding time, sitting on dry powder. Anything I put on now is on the 2-6 month plan....
