Money & Economics

let me explain what Iran's Parliament Speaker just said because most people are going to miss it..
he told investors: "pre-market news is a reverse indicator.. if they pump it, short it.. if they dump it, go long.. see something tomorrow? you know the drill"

..he's telling the world that America's market-moving headlines are manufactured.. that the news you wake up to tomorrow morning was designed to move your money in a specific direction.. and that he knows which direction because he knows what's coming..

think about what that actually means..the Speaker of Iran's Parliament.. a country currently at war with the United States.. just went on the internet and told the entire world how to trade against American news cycles..you think its because he's generous..its because making retail investors distrust US markets IS the weapon..you don't need to bomb Wall Street if you can convince the world it's already rigged..

and the most terrifying part of all of this..is that he's not wrong.

This isn't a 13 year old school yard bully, it's the deranged infantile "Leader of the Free World" and President of the United States

It’s blatantly obvious to the big traders that the US government has been playing in the futures markets for a month holding the price of paper oil below $100

The “air pocket” above that would spike the price and reveal the physical supply

So this guy thinks oil will skyrocket up, and that fund Shorted oil? hmmmmmm.

Market did exactly as expected and called by the Iranian guy :winktongue:
Opened 400+pts Up and trapped a lot of folks who jumped in early.

Oil did the opposite, again as expected down at open by the feeble pump attempt from the White House.
Opened lower and then went on to hit a new High


The Abraxas trade looks to have been a hedge. He makes money either direction.
