speaking of "..calling it like it is..."

the following linked piece by Paul Brodsky and Lee Quaintance of QB Asset Management is remarkable in its clarity, directness and simple honesty.

gata.org

They call the macro patterns clearly without hyperbole or hysteria..eg their discussion as to the mechanics and necessity of 'eastern' financial interests keeping a lid on the POG until they have secured a significant position so as to have a weighted place at the table when the inevitable global currency reset occurs.

regards,

FWIW

Re algorithmic trading in LSG ?

I bought a few more LSG shares on the day following the bullish news release when the stock price rose by 13%. On Friday the same old pattern of trading resumed and the stock began to decline. My prior day's purchase was heading for a loss so just before the Friday close I offered it at the ask which would have recovered the amount I had spent. The trade was immediately completed at .01c higher than my asking price.

I reason that the algorithmic traders, ever anxious to grab trades throughout the day, saw that they were going to end the day with a shortage. They were intent to make up the shortfall by buying at market, rather than end the day and the week with a naked short

In a declining market they would more usually have ended the day with surplus shares which they would dump on the bid, driving the price lower. We shall see what Monday brings.

Any brighter ideas ?

<<John Kaiser on BNN hammering away on how the TSXV is allowing the shorts thru algorithm trading that is just sucking legit investor's money out of the market by naked shorting on the no down tick rule......says it will destroy itself and the exchange.

Bravo to John...call a rigged market for what it is.>>

So how do you play that?
