While the world roils in Brexit pandemonium my day has consisted of:
Riding my bike on the boardwalk to the rocks
Taking a leisurely stroll among the obese tattooed masses with Avalon
And now I’ll be working on my Irish tan at the beach
I’ll get a nice healthy dinner at Mack’s
Then we’ll watch the fireworks at 10:00
And then onto the Shamrock to see Billy Jack and the cast of characters
And finally, tomorrow morning
Meanwhile, the world is blowing up
I notice you’re standing _just past_ the “stay off jetty – high risk area” line. That’s our Admin, living on the edge!
It was terrifying. I could have been fined and/or jailed.
Admin,
You look like your losing weight. Keep on biking, and have one for me.
Bob.
Jim, do you wear a helmet … like, Obama …. when you ride your bike?
I sure hope so. Don’t want to see you suffer from brain damage. I’ll bet you look cute-as-a-button in a helmet.
I’ve never worn a helmet in my life.
Damn – and all along, I thought YOU were the one out at the end of the jetty!
Muck
An irishman. With a beer in his hand. Who’d a thunk it? Lookin good, jim. Enjoy your break.
You just described my perfect day. Just need to add a ride on the Great White (preferably before Mack’s).
Enjoy!
@admin
How could you waste the best opportunities to make easy money in the last twenty years just having fun? A tenx leveraged bet of a measly ten thousand could have netted three hundred grand for you today. Surely you have that much to wager/invest. We started taking profit at 1:15 today and were out by three. It was a thirty million dollar day for us , not to mention our clients. A stay bet with stop orders was a max two percent loss, while profit on leave was near infinite upside. You may never see an opportunity like this again in your lifetime. The forex opportunity on the pound sterling alone. How could you not play that? No downside on a leave short. None. It closed over thirty percent swing. Paper gold. Another no brainer. Both of those are easy. Anyone can do it. If there is a next time, I will send you a simple tutorial to post . Monday will be ugly. Don’t try to make up for it then. You should drink to forget. Have a Cosmo on me. Ask for peach ciroc.

You greatly overestimate my wealth. I’m a working stiff. I made money today on my gold and silver positions. I’ve been out of the stock market for years. I’ll stay out. Glad you did well.
My mistake. I just want people to win on a day like this. Everyone was talking risk leading up to this but we saw it the other way. A sure thing is so rare.
Fab, although I’m probably poorer than admin, I’m interested in details of your investment firm or whatever you’re selling. You can forward the info to admin via his email addy on the right side of the page if you prefer not to do so in the comments. I can’t say I’m ready/willing to risk 10k but I’m always willing to listen & learn.
I could give certain tutorials but would not do anything that could ever disclose our firm. That would need to go through alternative channels with understood minimum investments. Be aware that the way we play is inherently risky. That’s why a day like today is beyond rubies. I have seen only two other opportunities as risk free with options as varied. The intro of the euro, 2007 crash, and today. But if I see something, I may say something. For example, the Monday after Orlando was a forex day. Trade emotion. Sentiment. Fear and panic. Fundamentals is a buy and hold. I prefer fast movers and day trading. And forex of course. And massive leverage. You can make more if you wager more than you have. But you had better be damned good and sure. And on a day like today, play the dark side, and bet on panic.
Great article about what happened at zerohedge, today is an appetizer for Monday.
When the going gets tough, the tough go on vacation. I see the campaign interruption as a surrender. McCain did the same in ’08, he suspended his campaign to avoid a debate he wasn’t ready for. At least Darth Vader set his interests in Halliburton aside while he played emperor. The Donald took a page from Billy’s playbook; just when the heat is too much for him, he calls break so he can go eat dinner. What can we expect from the Donald when he signs an executive order for the Jericho Wall with one hand and signs a government contract with the other?
If there is war with Russia, it will be an orchestrated event. We had them touching their toes back in the Reagan era and we could have gone in then and drilled them full bore, but no, we want the bear to do us. How stupid do they think we are? Don’t answer that.
It turns out America couldn’t handle being the lone Superpower, she needed a foil to disguise her wickedness. America is like the bitch in every soapy, causing much controversy and blaming somebody else.
Russia has no expansionist dreams, theirs is more of an interest in expanding trade with the rest of Europe, however, the bitch in this drama, America, can’t allow Europe to play nice with Mother Russia. A new French Revolution is more likely than war. The US will insist on the inseparability of the European Superstate and puppet Germany will follow that line. The French people will revolt rather than submit to Germany, they can’t very well declare war on Germany, anymore than Arizona can declare war against New Mexico. So, revolution it is. The Brits will supply the insurgents and Germany will defend the French Oligarchs.
There will be an ethnic cleansing in La France, Muzzies had better learn to like bacon or face accidental death or disappearance, joining their brother Bin Laden a la Jules Verne.
