OK, this is getting a bit silly. Over the past couple of weeks, the market has really done nothing but alternately rip higher and lower day to day. My soul is starting to feel a bit like the spring on a screen door. Monday sucked. Tuesday ruled. Wednesday sucked huge. Thursday, for the moment, seems like another rule. Let’s hope it sticks this time.
I expect bright green when I woke up this morning, and my hope was that the announcement below would be a fitting denouement to the asset zaniness since, let’s face it, every single one of these announcements has been a huge Nothing Burger to the crypto freaks (I’ll set aside the fact that the financial genius who posted this breathless tweet couldn’t manage to spelling the word “breaking” properly, although it is, in a Freudian sense, quite fitting):
Yet I didn’t have to endure green since everything, including Bitcoin, was already selling off.
Indeed, I took on a very large short position in FXI yesterday, and it’s gratifying to see China get nuked, financially speaking, that is.
And, c’mon, folks, I handed this one to you on a silver platter, when I admitted finally giving up on CNQ and COP.
The resulting move might as well have been written in scripture (this is COP).
The opening bell is about to ring, so I’m going to dive into it. Finally, here is your moment of Zen.
