Financial topics

[John]

Hi Aeden,

You've posted a number of extremely thoughtful messages, but they
mostly aren't appropriate for this thread.

I've set up a sub-forum called "Aeden's Forum," and a thread called
"Aeden's Financial Topics" in the sub-forum. These names can be
changed if you'd like. I've moved all your recent messages to that
thread. You can also create your own threads.

http://gdxforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=4586

Your messages will have a great deal of prominence on the home page of
the forum, and it will allow you to express your point of view freely
without worrying about whether your posts are appropriate. I think
you'll like the results.

Thanks,
John

A Mexican policeman was kidnapped, but to make his torment worse, the kidnappers also snatched his son. In the video, the policeman is tortured and then beheaded, while his son is made to watch. Yet that really was just a softy warm-up.

While the youngster is alive and fully conscious, the kidnappers flay his chest and belly until his intestines began to protrude. His lungs extract through the exposed cavities, and the intestines continue to pump in and out of the open abdominal wall from sheer terror, as the flayer smacks the young man to make him check it out. The flayer then cuts his rib cage apart and snaps it open, before slicing up his lungs and ripping out his heart, ending his unspeakable torture and with it, his life.

Democrats are unable to fathom whats coming.

John I understand.

Fight the good fight.

https://econimica.blogspot.com/ Basically less demographics scaling. Margin will suffer as the economics in resources are valued at their opportunity cost, which is the value of the alternative use of the resources as we already trend.

And you can’t eat theories.

Shorted LNG since many are full of it.

Lower natural gas prices have a negative impact on natural gas producers profitability like
EQT (EQT), Range Resources (RRC), and Cabot Oil & Gas (COG).

Will look at direct cash flow later in the week once the current noise clears from yesterdays action
and today's lagging knee jerk reactions.

Some analyst already warned of a potentially new record high natural gas inventory levels...

DJIA down 370 points. It's actually not that much, -1.4%, but seems
high because the index (26,000 +) is so high.

Analysts are saying that this is a "healthy" pullback, and to expect a
10% fall, before the "core values" reassert themselves, and the market
starts increasing again. One person I heard said that 25 of the 30
Dow stocks had "gone parabolic," and should be avoided for the time
being.

I haven't heard anyone say that a full-scale market crash is about to
happen.

Déja vu

Dow futures are down 160 points (0.6%).

The Tokyo Stock Exchange is open on Monday morning, and the Nikkei is
down 2.3%. The Hang Seng index (Hong Kong) is down 2%.

There's something about the "false panic of 1987" that's always
remained in my mind. On Wed-Fri, Oct 14-16, the Dow fell from 2508 to
2246, 262 points, or more than 10%.

The thing that I remember -- for some reason it sticks in my mind --
is a talk show on Sunday (10/18/1987) where they discussed whether
this was another stock market crash. And remember that, unlike today,
in 1987 many people still had personal memories of the 1929 crash. So
one person said, "I don't think that there's anything to be alarmed
about. The market may fall a little bit further, but the next 100
point move will be in an upward direction."

So on Monday, 10/19/1987, the Dow fell 508 points, or 22.61%.

I don't know why I remember that particular sentence in that
particular talk show, but when I listened to the discussions on
Friday, two days ago, I had the eerie feeling that I was hearing that
same conversation again.

So now with Dow futures at -160 (at this moment they're at -148), I
can't help the feeling of déja vu.

However, keep in mind that this may only be a blip, and by morning the
Dow futures may have turned positive again.

Drop of 1,176 over the course of the day, with a dip of nearly 1,600 on the Dow. Thus far, investors don't seem too worried about it. I'm just waiting to see if it rebounds over the next few days or if it continues to crash.

And of course, Bitcoin is crashing and burning, losing around 2/3rds of its value over the past 2 months.

There's an ironic twist.

Every time that there was bad economic news during the financial
crisis, the stock market would go up.

The saying was "Bad news is good news," because bad economic
news meant that the Fed was going to lower interest rates
and buy more Quantitative Easing assets with printed money,
that would pour into the stock market, creating the current bubble.

But now the saying is "Good news is bad news," because there has been
good economic news, and so the Fed may raise interest rates, causing
people to take money out of the high-risk stock market and put it into
low-risk bonds. That's what a lot of people on tv are blaming
for today's stock market dive.

As for Trump, he who lives by the Dow dies by the Dow.
