FYI -- re: "that SUCKING SOUND you hear....." Is speculation and greed being SUCKED out of the global markets. Whodathunkit!?! And where have all the chest-thumping commodity permabulls suddenly gone to? This was literally THE single easiest "ring the register & go short call of the last 6-7 years. Permabulls got greedy and are getting brutally spanked once again. This post below epitomizes the hard-wired emotionality and the general madness & popular delusions of crowds, that makes "trading the traders" the perrenial "low hanging fruit" trade of all trades: ********************************************************************************************** Message 22472809 ["...And re natural gas -- you have to know how to distinguish seasonal and cyclic volatility from a "bubble." ... It was not in a bubble. ...There seems to be a desire on the part of all the self-proclaimed gurus to want to say anything that has went up in price is a bubble. That's a muddling of terms -- call a price spike a price spike or a price collapse a price collapse -- a big change in price does NOT mean something is in a bubble."] ***************************************************************************************************** Not to pick on someone who is clearly intellectually defenseless as Nat Gas must now "triple" to return to the bubbleonian levels of last December...but, this is LITERALLY the single greatest poster-child example of emotionality, self-delusion and rationalization from the "herd" that I've seen in the last year. The madnes of crowds and other popular delusions are borne of human nature. Human nature has not changed in 2000 years. From Tulip's to Commodities...it matters not. Human nature has not changed...and never will. So as Doyle Brunson so aptly suggested: "Always Play the Players -- Not the Cards" Natural Gas was NOT in a bubble...and THIS -- is a merely, just a "seasonal" correction ...and what was "I" thinking ?!?!?! -- rotflmao Well, here's the akFOOBAR of all FUBAR's -- "muddling of terms" chart for Nat Gas: No bubble in India either ? Well the "I" in BRICK is blowing up... Middle East markets imploding... Nikkei Deja Vu all over again.... We shall see where the flight to safety ends up -- now won't we... The obit for the USD may have been a bit premature given it's significant outperformance vis a vis Gold of late: WHODATHUNKIT?!?! A wise man once said: " ALL SPECULATIONS END THE SAME -- ALWAYS HAVE... ALWAYS WILL" So it was written in Lyfords Cay... so it has been done. later, SOTB` PS: -- sometimes CASH aint Trash....and this clearly be one of them. Gotta know when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em ... when to walk away...and when to run:
