from 4/21 at the close:
"Unloaded 1/4 of silver position into the close. This has been like owning ICGE in 1999."
Nailed another one.
Too bad just 25% of position, still locked in a nice profit.
Getting a boner watching FCX getting axed again. I'm way ahead on the puts, but I think this may be the time FCX doesn't immediately bounce 15%. I'm going to hold on, I think $45 could be in the future. Three for three on this bubble-boy POS. This'll be a $20 stock if Glencore and the Chinese are forced to start unloading.
If you want a good time, check out the stocktwits stream on FCX. All these idiots talking about copper mines running out of the stuff, inventory levels, demand from China ... They have no idea they're in a stock that is at the whim of the Bernanke bubble machine and copper, which is as massively manipulated for various funding purposes as any asset on the planet. If these guys lose control, copper will get halved in a month, along with FCX.

What he is at fault for is creating another speculative environment. What he cannot be forgiven for is that he is doing this on the heels of 2 decades of this nonsense under the G-man. He is now boxed in. Tighten and the house of cards comes crashing down. Continue to pump and it goes even higher (or, even worse, continue to pump and it goes down anyway). G-man near wrecked this economy. Bernanke is giving it the silver bullet.
Double for you Kazz (and Canada will get screwed even worse).
BOEHNER SAYS NO DEBT CEILING HIKE WITHOUT "REAL SPENDING CUTS AND BUDGET REFORMS"
BOEHNER SAYS TIME TO TALK `ABOUT TRILLIONS' IN SPENDING CUTS
BOEHNER SAYS `NOTHING OFF THE TABLE' EXCEPT 'RAISING TAXES'
Combine this with the commodity sell-off and I'm quite confident my fed futures trade is safe. Even iexpectations have began to ease some

Took advantage of the pullback in grains to purchase some November $15 soybean calls and sold some $20 calls to help pay for them (here's looking at you GoC!). Soybean acreage is suffering because corn is more profitable at these prices. Anything short of a near perfect growing season and we'll see beans in the high teens.
Interest rate increases don't make sense when the government is the largest borrower. A rate hike will only increase inflation in such a situation as it increases the income stream from the government to the private sector. Keeping rates low works to keep inflation low under the current circumstances.
