US Politics Thread

Post stubbo-admin »

Seems like the main politics thread is becoming a Yankee-Doodle Trump-fest, so maybe scope here to split them out.

Will see if this one gains any traction ..if it does will move over a few of the million posts from our two protagonists from the other thread.

Yee-haaa!

FMOB

Crude on the CME down 8% now, I'm defiantly looking to reverse once the dust settles.

Tramp also saying its nearly job done on the Ayatollahs? fingers crossed on that.

It’s looking like the G7 just told the world they would release a load of their strategic reserves.
Supply sticking plaster.
It’s looking like you really embarrassed yourself again.

Read back through this thread and read the part where I explained technicals and fundamentals.

Im pretty sure I called some intervention to bring the price down. But you wouldn’t have it.

So quick to jump all over my post again, as usual.

I know whenever I post something  you will jump all over it within minutes. It’s as if you are watching, waiting to pounce.

I don’t know how many more times I have to embarrass you before you realize you don’t have a clue about what you are talking about.


I really enjoyed mugging you off today! Thanks for the laugh!
You’re fav website trading economics:


“However, prices later eased after G7 finance ministers said the group “stands ready” to release oil from strategic reserves if needed”


Nothing to do with Fibonacci lines or technicals.
Supply increase pure & simple.
You’re not all there mate!

You’re pig ignorant!

Thanks Donald and the Europeans opening reserves.

Should have been bolder in NY crude oil yesterday! Used long dated options rather than futures and hedged my position if Oil kept rising but conversely my profit was limited if it fell back as i thought, done a lot better than i thought though👍, although when CL got to near 30% up i wasn't so sure! took my position when it was up 23% But now it's down 4%, still holding but will maybe unwind and if anything, look to reverse the trade later today in Asia trade and look for another push up in the coming few weeks, still a lot of knicker wetters around🤣

If this carries on it’s a sticking plaster, but I’m sure Trump will 🌮 soon claiming some kind of victory.

I went to bed oil was at $110 per barrel now it’s at $102


https://www.macrotrends.net/2566/crude- ... live-chart
And in the meantime it went to $119.

The only way is comes down is if this ‘war’ ends. Do you see that happening?
The longer this goes on you’re looking at higher prices not lower.
Ok now pay attention numbnuts I’m gonna educate you on trading.

the previous high in 2022 ( start of Ukraine war) was approx $120 per barrell. Prior to that it was 2008 at approx $147 per barrell. 

Friday’s close was approx $92 per barrell. It’s the closing price that matters not intraday prices.


what we have is a gap up and a test of a previous high.it is known as back and fill to secure the move for prices to go back to test the previous close. This is what they mean by technicals.

As for the fundamentals If you think OPEC the CME group and others are gonna sit back and do nothing then you are more clueless than I thought.


As you were!
Here you go….. Read the last paragraph again, why don’t ya!

Unless you have gone back in time to Friday of last week to claim your 'win' lol

$105 at the moment.
Biggest supply shock in decades but yeh don't forget about the Fibonacci lines 😀

so you shorted at $120 right?
No, I was sleeping but I knew $120 was resistance. It’s not like it was a secret ffs!
so you went to bed at $110 and now its $105.
it never got below $100 but your wise advise was that its going to $92.

as is it wont be going anywhere near $92.

biggest supply shock since the 70's and you tell everyone to short oil.
“As it won’t be going anywhere near $92”



LOL!

You fucking Mug!

WTI and Brent both have done what you said wouldn’t happen.

What you gonna pivot to now?

Gotta laugh at this know nothing fuckwit!

What's the prize for winning this tepid little squabble? Certainly no respect will have been earned.

Yeah just what I thought. 

Looks like Trump is tackling the real issues facing the world, a transitory spike in the price of oil and increase in inflation is worth the short term pain for the benefit we all will gain.


But then of course you already know that. You’re just not all there!

Funny how you can only repeat the propaganda you are fed by the liberal media. One of these days you’ll have an original thought you can call your own.


Here’s a tip you never go long near previous highs you thick cսnt!
Here's a tip, don't short global commodoties facing the biggest supply shock in decades.

which propaganda am i repeating exactly?
is this gonna be like the "tariffs aren't inflationary thing"? or the "foreign countries will pay the tariffs" thing?
No it’s more of the Not stagflation thing! Not the end of the world thing!
So which propaganda did i repeat then?
