DRIP holding in the green. But all things PM related are taking a hit. Hope the Boyz are having fun squaring up their 3rd Qtr bonuses.

One bright spot is I had a stink bid in for SLV, Jan 2018 17 calls at .29, it got filled ! Either I am as dumb as a jackass, or these banksters are going to have to ante up sometime between now and Jan 2018. My best guess it might be as soon as next week. Black Monday and first week of Oct kinda thing. Who knows?

To Aufever. My first venture into the SLV Options as well. Hoping to sell half I got at the nearest double, and let the rest ride. Richard 640 probably has better advice. Took it as a low risk, high reward, kinda play. ??

Better days, months ahead, least Buygold tells me so. 🙂

Junior Damato Auto Doc.Newsday 9/29/17,

“I bought just a 2018 chevy equinox and was surprised it shut off automatically when I had my foot on the brake.”

Nobody has picked up on this yet. I think it’s big loophole not thought of yet. If you want to get your Coca Cola or Ford message out at a football game its very very expensive, and justifiably so with all the people watching.

There for, any and all football players “Advertising” for fellow black people should be told, there is a charge for advertising. Simple. Just deduct “Advertising fees” from their salary.

After announcing that?? None of those anti American bozos would kneel if they think they have to pay or it will cost them money.

Spain Says “Referendum Won’t Happen”, To Shut Barcelona Airspace After Catalan Separatists Unveil Ballot Boxes

Obama went on a “Purge the Conservative Generals ” while in office forcing them to retire or quit in disgust,now we have a second tier of Generals to choose from and promote from.  A Legacy of Political Interference in Military matters that will take decades to rectify. Just witness a General Honore statement about what could be done to help Puerto Rico .First words out of his mouth …Honore said “Its Donald Trumps Fault ”   This is the same “Home Boy” that was in charge of Hurricaine Katrina debacle ..now he wants to blame Trump !  Typical Liberal trash talk .Honore got a new job working for MSNBC …so you can expect more of the same from him with a LOCAL Accent,a cultural Hero , to give him credibility in a uniform..a new Puppet of MSNBC …….

When challanged by a reporter he responded with Liberal arrogance “your Stuck on Stupid”…….

If you love your own race, and you’re white, you are a called a racist.

Fixed it for ya. 🙂

You just have to wonder why we are in the U.N. and why it is based in New York.

Gotta wonder why we have a Federal Reserve.

These globalist forces are amazingly entrenched and powerful.

If you love your own race, you are a called a racist.

If you love your own country, you are called a patriot.

I’m certain, the Global Propaganda Media owners (that brainwashed too many people) must DISPISE patriotism and or nationalism, because to THEM, it’s a form of country wide racism. “My country is better than your country.” Or..

“That country is a rouge nation”  “Or That country is the evil empire” etc etc. So what? TPTB have not advanced enough with their global community “the world that lives as one” yet, to outlaw country against country discrimination.

It was on TV one day that a black person said “I’m a racist because I love my own race”.

UN Says Blacks In America Deserve Reparations, Ignores Entire History Of Slavery

If you’re not a football fan that makes it a lot easier to boycott the games. I wonder how many people who don’t watch football said: “boycott it” vs people who like to watch the games.

Cheers

Don’t much care for the action today but it is Friday and we seem to be back in a place where all Friday’s and Monday’s are bad again.

I did pick up a little USLV this am for an instant loss – the USD has decided to turn higher.

I guess we’re holding out hope for a stronger 4th quarter. I don’t know.

As for the COT’s I expect they’ll look a little better but there’s still going to be a lot of commercial shorts still on the books.

I voted Yes, but to tell you the truth, I pay about as much attention to Highly Paid Athletes as I do those Hollywood Stars and their opinions. Which aint a whole heck of a lot !!

Another crazy trade I make two days ago is working out somewhat. Thinking the oil prices are hitting thin air, I dipped some DRIP between tongue and cheek. DRIP is a 3x bear etf for oil. More than one way to pay for a fishing trip. 🙂

Two sources tell CBS News the U.S. is preparing to announce a major withdrawal of staff and family from the U.S. embassy in Cuba in response to attacks targeting diplomats. Only essential personnel will be left.

An internal memo was sent to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson suggesting a drawing down of personnel in Havana. The meeting this week between Tillerson and Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Eduardo Rodriguez Parrilla did nothing to help assure the U.S. that Cuban officials are doing enough to protect the safety and welfare of U.S. diplomats in their country. Though Cuba is allowing U.S. investigators into the country, it has not convinced the U.S. that it’s taken any real action to prevent the health attacks.

Good day to pick up some USLV/JNUG is my thinking. Watching the last day of month/quarter with interest. Think you got it right, prop up the SM, do a little bashing in the PM’s (maybe). Worth keeping an eye on today is how much selling/profit taking goes on in the stock markets. Are folks going to book some profits at 3/4 through the year? Or are they going to let it ride to years end? That should pretty much tell us what the big players think of the last qtr.  AND, be interesting to see that COT report later today. Perhaps a clue if the longs are gaining some ground.

Packing up and heading to the Gulf in the morning. Coffee on the beach sounds pretty damn good ! 🙂

Watching this morning in the last hour as pm’s slowly drift lower, SM futures slowly drift higher, and the VIX drifts lower.

I’m not sure the SM will ever go lower again in our lifetimes – maybe Yellen was right.

Last day of the quarter, probably a massive up day in the SM as window dressing continues.

We are getting close to the point where if pm’s and related shares don’t start to turn higher in earnest they are going to be “tax loss” sales at the end of the year. MUX comes to mind, regardless of year end performance – have to think there are a bunch of people in near $3 that will want to dump.

Just a couple more…years….

That was a really good post and explanation of how a lot of people probably think.

FWIW – it appears to me that Trump is actually winning his war with the NFL as all players stood for the anthem in Green Bay last night as the crowd chanted “USA”!

The left has gone way too far in it’s war on everything in the U.S. and are being exposed as the idiots they really are. Another example of extreme idiocy was a Librarian that rejected a bunch of Dr. Suess books from Melania Trump because they are “racist”

China Orders All Their Companies In North Korea to Close Within 120 Days
DAHBOO77 Sep 28, 2017–
In the latest sign that China is moving to dramatically limit its exposure to its restive neighbor and long-time economic dependent, Chinese authorities on Thursday ordered all North Korean firms to stop doing business in the world’s second-largest economy, fulfilling Beijing’s obligations according to the latest round of UN Security Council sanctions, which were passed two weeks ago.

The order comes just days after President Donald Trump revealed that the People’s Bank of China had asked the country’s banks to sever their business ties with North Korea.

Specifically, they were ordered to stop providing financial services to North Korean customers and to wind down existing loans, severing one of North Korea’s most reliable connections to the global financial system. It was reported that the banks were warned that continuing to transact with North Korean business could result in embarrassment and economic losses, according to Russia Today.
