ISIS? Everything that happens in the ME, somebody always says they aren’t smart enough to pull it off.

He is about to learn a valuable lesson in how to blow up an account. I have done it more than once.

There is a guy on twitter than makes an insane amount of money playing lottos on Friday. He has a subscription service but sometimes post freebies. From what I have seen he is not like most who pull all kinds of stunts on twitter

I see him post one of these lottos and think there is no way this is going to hit..and it does. BIG.

But not all do.

Penetration points shown here leave *NO DOUBT* the missiles came from the northwest, ie Iraq. This wasn't revenge by Houthis. This is an act of war launched by a proxy in a third country on #Iran's orders; it's payback for US #oil sanctions. #OOTT

>>>He is about to learn a valuable lesson in how to blow up an account. I have done it more than once.

Yeah. He's going to learn the rule of 3-90s was made just for him.

I've never blown up my account...thank the Lord. The very first thing I learned (thank GOD) was the rule of 3-90's. I said "Hmmm - Now - apparently this is harder than it looks." and so I went about doing this very slowly and set certain rules in place. I did have a -3% year last year...but this year I am +40%. I was EVEN STEVEN until Christmas eve and then I got KILLED on some options. I had made about $1200 that morning (and even told the wife!) and then tried to make about $300 more - and then tried to sell a batch of 50 SPY puts - and it wouldn't sell. I didn't realize I had them set for limit sells. :-( The market reversed and it reversed HARD. I kept doing it over and over again and it would never take my order. I never realized I have it on limit sell and it wouldn't take because the market was moving so fast.

Ended up losing $2500 that day - and my profit for the year (my first year trading). It was an awful Christmas eve...knowing I had been up 1200 and then lost 2500...

But this year has been awesome! Even with Trump screwing up my trading plan!!! :-)

The photo at the link looks just about like a photo from a month or so ago when missiles were launched at an airport shutting down the airport for a while.

Anyone have a link that shows the declassified photos that show damage done at the oil facility by missiles and are supposed to be the just declassified ones?

You need to start and ask yourself who gains and loses from this attack?

After all who has been looking for an excuse to go to war with Iran?

Iran is NOT KNOWN for sophisticated drone attacks. Sorry they are not.

How come the Saudi Air Defense missed the attack between them and the U.S.?

I smell a false flag.

These are the only photos I've found so I guess, at least in part, I answered my own question. Several of the photos look like what was in the press when the same or similar facility was attacked with drones in the summer of 2018.

One oil fire in the desert looks pretty much like the next, though, but I would like to find all of the 17 that are supposed to be new.

As of right now - there are about 1200 orders stacked to buy at 58.00 to open. It’s climbed from 56.00 just a few minutes ago. Have a feeling it will go up a buck or more before open. Then who knows. God knows how many of those are people with open shorts.

You're not the first. Just talked to a trading partner of mine and we feel the same. I would be curious to see if Saudi oil accounts went long right before the close on Friday. I did some checking and noticed that an oil ETF - called OILU went from being massively short to massively long (with only a 24% short volume - had been 72% the day before).

I can promise whoever did it - if they are smart - went long on oil futures on Friday before the close. The money they could make is amazing.

The 50 cent VIX buyer came out to play and made a big bet on Oct 16 calls 24 strike price. Almost 6 million dollars.

50 cent usually wins. It’s like he always knows when it is coming

Explain please...

I'm looking at the open interest in the VIX calls - and it is MASSIVE compared to the puts for the 16 Oct. When you look at the $40 strike its 172K to 397 open interest. For a $40 VIX? That's spooky.

There is a guy people on twitter call 50 cent. He buys them when they are around 50 cents. I think he bought these for around .59.

I swore next time he came out to play I would buy with him. Darn it..I waited too long. It doesn’t always happen the next trading day!!!

THis may not be the event he was waiting for ..maybe it’s a bonus.
