Missiles Flying!

[Cuddles]

The fact that defense stocks soared when Trump won the election suggests the insiders always knew that he would be a war President - more so than Hillary in fact. General Dynamics rose 13% in 3 days....

It really doesn't take an insider to put money on a sure bet. Plus the guy did campaign on the deplorable state of our military and how he'd dump hundreds of billions to "modernize" it.

What to do about the existing inventories in order to get them "modernised"?

Syrian warplanes take off once again from air base bombed by US Tomahawks

8 April 2017

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/04/08/syrian-warplanes-take-air-base-bombed-us-tomahawks/

Observers had reported the base had been badly destroyed by the 1,000lb warheads and that several planes and a runway had been put out of service. However it is thought that an advance warning given by the US to Russia allowed Syria enough time to remove many of its aircraft before the raid.

Trump seemed to recognize these complications too ― both during the 2013 debate when he strongly advised the U.S. not to engage in Syria and the presidential campaign when he warned that involvement would precipitate World War III. But in a span of a news cycle, his tune changed this week. During his daily intelligence briefing on the day of the attack, he asked for military options, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters. Two days later, he had settled on an option and ordered the military to move forward. His administration notified foreign allies and congressional leadership after the missiles were launched, minutes before they hit their targets.

NEW air strikes have targeted a town in Syria devastated by a chemical attack earlier this week, with Russian planes believed to be responsible.

It wasn’t immediately clear who conducted the strikes on Khan Sheikhoun, which was hit on Friday and Saturday, though only Russian and Syrian regime aircraft have been bombing that rebel-held area.

At least four civilians were killed.

Thx for the advice Van, its a small position even though i said my stop was 87, more than likely i will cover if it doesnt want to break down tomorrow, i kind of dived into it yesterday before watching it much, then watched it for the last hour, way it moves cause its illiquid seems pretty manipulative, lows hold then it skates up thirty ticks on air, with offers just dropping, and all the volume going off at the bid...... seems like text book low Volume manipulation.

but i was willing to hold and willing to take the risk when the market cracked off the highs today, cause im just thinking it has to get dragged down if market melts. But im starting to agree with you the more the ES holds it was down 10 points now down 4, should have done alot more if it was going to puke.

If market melts, and FIZZ holds ill most likely be bailing pretty quick, I just wanted to make sure i had a decent starting price, so that if it goes towards 83 i can chase it and have room on my average, cause one of these days its going to puke, and i hate chasing pukes cause it often turns into traps.

Anyways that was my thought process behind it.

Max... did you get out? It almost hit $90 today.

Wow nice, yeah you called it perfectly, it only got me for like 40 cents so didnt hurt me, but would have been nice to take it again up there.

i knew there was an 8 buck down move on it at some point, just effed up the timing on it a bit i guess, oh well, live to fight another day, no way i would have held through 8 bucks of pain to get that so i guess just better to stop out while it was small. I was hoping it would get closer to 100 once it held up on me the first time, cause i knew there would be lots of people trying to sell a 100 break.
