I'm getting to watch a P&D from the beginning. I was stuck in the ticker for 2+ years, and the message board was dead. The message board suddenly got active and it jumped .0007 to .005. The accounts are known pumpers, and they loaded now, some probably on free shares. Gonna be interesting to see how high they can get it to go. Other pumper accounts are posting on the board now too.
EPSC if anyone wants to watch this chit show.

Long:
LNG, MRO, NFLX $350 calls 8/17 for $3.20 I didn't get many contracts because I am a little concerned about how markets are ending today. Feeling perhaps we see more drops in tech going into next week based on negative news some of which I highlighted down below.
Short:
NVDA $240 puts 8/17 $3.10 Basis for this: they revise down or keep flat sales for remainder of year- lower crypto based sales, Tsla no longer buying, and competition from amd in gaming. Holding off on buying many until Monday/Tuesday. Want to minimize decay, but some skin in the game.
TSLA: $330 puts 8/17 $3.80 Negative news either stemming from Musk tweets of going private or perhaps realization they gotta raise more money, or really anything else that can possibly go wrong.
Trend is always your friend, but I am thinking perhaps we see a down week.
EDIT:
Pumpers out in full force on zerohedge lmao
Server-chip sales growth expected to jump 78%, compared with Intel’s 27%
"Nvidia on average is expected to post adjusted earnings of $1.66 a share, up from the $1.47 a share expected at the beginning of the quarter. Estimize, a software platform that uses crowdsourcing from hedge-fund executives, brokerages, buy-side analysts and others, calls for earnings of $1.93 a share"
lmfao if they aren't setting unrealistic expectations

From 04/25/2017 (page 32 in this thread)
All this chit I've been posting about Emerging Markets is starting to come to fruition with what we've seen from Turkey the past few days. Turkey is the first EM country to go. The contagion is starting. A ton of banks rushed in to buy their paper a month ago at 20% with the mindset that a country cannot default. Well let's see how Turkey's hyperinflation in the coming years makes them feel.
The euro is totally fuked. A weekly close below 1.1165 and it's on to parity, maybe a slight bounce to 1.05, then down to 0.87 real fuking quick.
Close below 1194 on the gold and it's crash mode on gold too.
Disclosure: I have built up a position that will net me four figures for every percent that the Euro falls and US$ rises
Edit: Euro futures gapped down just now

^What are you holding again? Might be time to relook at whatchu got. Although I'm not certain the Euro is going away in the next 5 years.

Welp I'm a little nervous now. Put quite a bit of money in NVDA Aug 24th 240 puts for $3.30. I guess we will see. Market feels jittery and uncertain, but hopefully we see a breakout either way. Got netflix for dat dere high flyer gain and NVDA for hopefully bad earnings/forecast revision and should drop quick in the event of tides going out.

Are you max bearish yet? Time to go long?
Venom was a great contrarian indicator in 2016 when gold was at 1120 - calling for a break below 1000.
Where is Ctownballer? His "consensus play" of long euro short usd sure seems to be turning out wonderfully.

^Just ignore the peasant troll. Literally everything he posts he lost money on. Hasn't posted a winning call in ages--- but I have no doubt the second I lose money on something- perhaps netflix or NVDA this week or next week he'll be all over gloating about how great he is and how badly I'm doing. The type of bitch that gets excited when other miscers fail. It is pathetic. Just put him on ignore and stop quoting his posts.

My call is to start using overvalued USD to start buying undervalued blue chip ADRs.
Im in BTI. Just executed first buys on VOD, HSBC and RDS-A. Expecting to average in. The UK also doesn't charge me tax on dividends unlike US.You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told you're a god or a total bastard. The iron always kicks you the real deal.

The euro is in crash mode rn... pretty crazy but I think it bounces a bit tomorrow and then resumes selling off Thursday/Friday. Should test 1.1165 and once that gives, there's nothing but air until 1.05.
Currently watching the DJIA. Seems there's 25,050 support with resistance at 25635. Watching for a break of either side to confirm correction or ATHs, respectively.

How is the USD overvalued? There's a world economic crisis and there's been a flight to the US$. The troubles in Turkey are just a taste of what's to come. And what has the US$ done in response to TUR? It's rallied.
Also, it's game over once Draghi begins tapering QE in September and then totally ends it in December. Like there's gonna be zero bids on their long term debt, so you're gonna see crashes like never before.
Sucks that the EU banned shorting them, but whatever. Just trade it by shorting the Euro.Last edited by Venom08; 08-14-2018 at 12:56 PM.

What about the failed US quantitative easing? What about rising interest rates? How will the US consumer pay off their debts? Record high debt in the US, with rising interest rates and inflation.
Wouldn't be so confident in the US personally.
Nothing has changed since 2008 except the bubble is much bigger and we are in much more debt.

Unemployment numbers are useless without also looking at participation.... which has tanked right alongside unemployment.
Literally every problem we faced in 2008 is still the same today except with double the national debt, more consumer debt, crazy student loan debt, the same ****ty mortgage loans. Household debt is over $13trillion.
All the QE just went into bailing out the people who created the recession.
We have less people working, more part time jobs and more people on welfare.
I have no faith in this economy. We have gotten by this year with a slight correction but eventually it will be 2008 all over again if not worse due to rising interest rates and inflation this time.
Which is fine by me, 2008 didn't affect me at all but it did the country as a whole.Last edited by romajc; 08-15-2018 at 05:01 AM.

Do you think that perhaps the next crash will occur in the public sector instead of the private sector? By this I mean that instead of stocks crashing, it's government bonds because those issues you bring up of debt and interest rates will most destroy govt. bonds because they've borrowed a disgusting amount thanks to QE. QE was made to be a solution to the 2008 crisis, but because it's just another form of market intervention, they created a new crisis. And that crisis will be in the public sector. It's their fault for raising taxes, borrowing incessantly, and doing whatever they can to maintain and only increase their govt. pensions and benefits by robbing more from the taxpayer.
There's going to be a massive pension crisis too, no thanks to govt. mandates that something like 20-50% of funds be invested in govt. bonds. It's even worse in Europe where they've mandated it to be 75% in some countries!!
There won't be any bear markets in the US any time soon. If anything, we're going to be seeing the DJIA at 60,000 by 2030 and the US$ rallying to such levels that the world monetary system breaks because the US is the last safe haven left. QE and socialism fuked everything up and you'll see it all fall apart when the summer ends because that'll be when the ECB stops buying govt. debt. Interest rates will spiral out of control and expose their biggest selling point of the Euro which was the same rate for every member state.

Something that concerns me more than crappy loans is the number of people buying 2nd properties to rent either long or short term. A lot of them haven't even finished paying off their first property. What happens when there is an employment contraction? Suddenly lots more homes available for sale
