time to duck & cover lol

OPEC history?? Their grip has been loosened so much by non OPEC supply and their interests so varied...the immediate future is (in my bearish view) vigorous and brutal and fairly protracted price war..then who knows what assets/dreams/development options/companies will be left standing

Hot...what are the key medium/long term supports on the DOW pls??...interested to know when the bullish bias is threatened

first of the anti Santa Rally? ...too many leveraged longs

bears picnic...yummy from business insider re greek disaster "Deutsche's George Saravelos also says there's a 60/40 chance of a Greek parliamentary election. With Syriza in the lead, that's a big risk for bondholders. The insurgent party wants Greece's creditors to take a major haircut (drastically cutting the value of their investment), and for existing bailout programmes to be cancelled."

FP...what a pf...a debt laden dog's breakfast ...just add qpp for unleveraged spicy dog mush

S&P 2080 was my target for shorting ...lucky prediction? (shame didn't quite reach/didn't open short lol)?

trading day of 2 halves across the pond lol ...markets humble even the best of us

"even if Germany doesn't agree" ...well that is a statement to swill about the mouth ...?hogwash or ?Chateau Margaux 09?

Hot...yes, when the next shoe will drop is impossible to forecast ...and may be an age away (well after xmas) ...only a few shopping days left

hot...bears are back...perhaps we may yet ruin smug confidence in Santa rally? ...the number of potentially devastating economic events/scenarios mount and strengthen... ...(*) the perfect storm in Japan: a truly enormous debt deflation wipeout (ironically compounded by weakening commodity prices) would surely make E Asia fantastically unstable? ...(*)Russia heading towards some form of Authoritarian/militaristic hubris in the face of weakening oil prices and a nutjob narcissistic self obsessed Hannibal Lector boss who has bet wrong and now cannot see any other way than bluff and bluster? ...(*) the eurozone ratcheting up the rhetoric about QE BUT HOW in the face of opposition from the Germans (perfectly sensibly against Greeks et all being bailed out by the ECB) ....(*) overvalued leveraged multiple asset bubbles in the US and UK where risk has been passed wholesale and largely unquestioned from private actors (greedy and unprepared to take the consequences of their flawed reckless debt fueled buying) to supine increasingly debt laden governments ...the bears are getting in party mood again (after the disappointment of the fail Oct Putsch)

"The Saudis want Opec to remain relevant,'' said analyst Phil Flynn, speaking before the end of the meeting in Vienna. "The only way in their mind is to subdue the US shale producer." ...that would pressure wti way lower...sub 60? perhaps sub 50? ...I am bearish about oil (surprise surprise) and wonder about the benefits: to US and UK a bit (but decent producers so not unambiguous)...to eurozone does it reinforce the damaging deflationary pressures??

Hot...I was phoned (cold called) by some chancers a few weeks back on the look out for new high net worth clients...they were enthusiastic about how the charts were screaming SHORT

no I agreed with them, but declined to use their esteemed shorting prowess to bolster my trading performance

bears dying...I had some phone calls last week from City spivs saying that absolutely certain indicies would fall (as I would have hoped / expected)..and I guess the shorts are closing in the face of extraordinary, relentless strength ...I am in hibernation

US markets bullishness feeding on itself? With shorts covering? ...perhaps short hell before short heaven

gold plummeting

hi guys...what do you make of US markets response to as expected news on taper?

with stop @1170?

Hot..I guess the dominance of big oil on ftse partly to blame ...I am long ftse v dow lol...or short dow v ftse
