‘Buy the Dip’ Alive and Well as BofA Sees Biggest Inflows in 2019

Good luck to them!

Something in that article caught my eye and sets my alarm bells ringing.

There was a specific mention of retail buying into hedge fund sales. This can only end one way... The report is also consistent with my indicators flashing insto selling in good measure.

Duke, good call on the markets! Today retail sales data will be released. It was for the period before the trade war escalation, so if it is positive, it should be disregarded. But if it is negative, it should tank markets.

To see the real impact of trade war, look at the Singapore bunker sales data. Bunker is the fuel used in ocean going vessels (tankers, bulk carriers, etc) and Singapore is the largest bunker market in the world. Bunker sales have shown consistent YOY degrowth since Jul-18 with the latest fig for Apr being minus 12% (-12%). Shipments via Singapore (World's 2nd busiest port) has been dropping since Jul-18.

Trumps tweets are just the trigger.

Getting ready. I will probably start off by selling PUTs for the strike price I want to buy at. On the way up, the PUTs were very cheap, but of the way down, PUTs become expensive, so it would make sense to sell now, rather than when it was going up.

MNUCHIN SAYS WILL LIKELY GO TO BEIJING AT SOME POINT IN NEAR FUTURE TO CONTINUE CHINA TRADE TALKS

TRUMP PLANS TO DELAY IMPOSING TARIFFS ON AUTO IMPORTS

All it takes is just 1 tweet from Trump to reverse the market's losses. Looks like this would be a daily affair.. he probably has a series of tweets lined up whenever the Markets decline by 0.5%.

Oh no. I think the crash is coming real soon.

It's really dangerous being short during business hours with the Manipulator in Chief in office

bought some ING today at $11.22 when market was red. Logged in 1 hour later, price up to $11.33, 1% gain. But I'm in it for the long-run and the 5-6% dividend!

Crude oil inventories also rose, suggesting slower economic/industrial activity and markets just snap hack into green on pure words (where the underlying cold hard data is bleak)

I am happy - this is what defines a meltup - brace for the greater fall

 

[MrHighlander]

On further thought, if Trump is planning to delay auto tarriffs by up to 6 months, it means he is girding for a long haul fight with China. China is by far his primary target and adversary

Huawei ban also coming out this week

Will not get flag for STR? Quite loose checks if so.
What happened to your last put option, you closed out at % profits?
