Meanwhile, back at the coastal office, things got weird and even weirder. Go figure. If it hadn’t been for a few different happenings, I may not be where I am–which is still in question. Secret Someone said it to me again the other day, “Heya…so what’s your secret?” I said, “What are you talking about?” “I mean, [...]

Buying Volatility

Volatility bounced off key support last week and is poised to move higher. Insiders in Tesla Motors sold what they could to the public and collared their remaining shares. My sell signal should ring soon. It is then that I will be short. Hasbro (HAS) is a leveraged buyout (LBO) candidate, and it’s vol trades cheap. The [...]

The Euro broke recent lows today only to be squeezeed higher by the not so invisible hand of manipulation. The manipulation will work until it doesn’t. At some point the Euro has to be devalued futher. It has no choice. The trend remains down. I remain short. And the beat goes on.

News of German regulator intervention is fuel for the fire of my short euro thesis. A view of the weekly chart shows that support is broken. And it’s a long way down.
