Sawtooth Trading



Some fellows and various "groups" of varying shades of white, grey and black hats will have been having a very fun and profitable time during this COVID boosted "VIX" period: www.macrotrends.net/2603/vix-volatility-index-historical-chart [Slide bar allows magnification of timeline].

Whether what we are seeing is "Sawtooth Trading" or not remains to be proven, but there have been a few sharp plunges and jumps since the show started. We have been told for years by those in the know that the next one would be driven by bots and algorithms.

Three of the best series I have ever seen have alluded or hypothesised about a sort of "Feedback Loop" market crash "play" in recent years. i.e when The Black Swan arrives, we are ready to roll and when it kicks off we shall play the rollercoaster and drive it just a little ourselves to our advantage (Conspiracy Theory No. 42g). I have to admit to having watched all of these seasons in the last 2 years. Well it's better than watching yet more syrupy nostalgia saturated shit about Queen Victoria's butlers, boring people dressed from the 19th century walking around stately homes in England pointing at maps coloured pink, or anything at all with Mister D'Arcy in it.

This is a Black Swan linked scenario worth thinking about, especially in these times of HFT bot-trading, blockchain and so on.

There will no doubt be a time when the whole way in which companies are "traded" will be completely overhauled to a safer, fairer much less abused way of arranging such changes, post-COVID of course, beyond these terrible decades where Money has been pushed to become a false credit chimera of, generated out of nothing.

As any "Economist" knows, for that conventional thinking, all credit was supposed to have it's balance sheet debt equivalent. Not any more it doesn't, not for some time. Bin the whole damn greed-driven system. It does not work any more. It is dangerous now, and very bad. The planet cannot take it any more.

All of these, in their own separate ways, were quite brilliant, but some definitely not for the faint-hearted, or those who "don't believe" in the existence of Dark Money and the bad people who increasingly mess around with it, to the severe detriment of the majority.

  There is a large segment of British society, both home and abroad, who have not been able to gain from the terrible experiences of parents and grandparents. Through no fault of their own other than choices about how and what to learn, they never heard from an early age about any invasion of their country, never read about the desecration of their family homes and so were able to learn from that. It is no accident that Japan and Germany are two very stable successful countries now whereas Britain and America are going through various political and social turmoils and attempts at shifts to authoritarianism. In parts of mainly non-Celtic Britain, mostly within certain older parts of the moderately affluent Middle Classes, a sub-group of that deeply privileged sector received, then stoked a probably detrimental surfeit of jingoistic and ersatz "Patriotism" through much of a lifetime. It seems at times to be the very breathed air itself for those Johnnies. The results may

Quantitatively Eased Manipulated Digital Cashflows [QEMDC] Trickling Upwards in a Gush

    Quantitatively Eased Manipulated Digital Cashflows [QEMDC] trickling upwards in a gush. A neatly manufactured cash-teat sucked at by old nasties Drexel Burnham Lambert [DBL], Blackstone, Stephen Schwarzman, Apollo, Leon Black, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts [KKR], cold dead philanthropist and jet-setter Jeff Epstein and a few other Movers and Killers all mixed into that particular soup. Predatory vulture disaster capitalism at it's very best. Potentially coming to your nearest health insurers, asset strippers and property inflaters in US, AUS and UK soon, so make sure you are well prepared [$$$$] folks. More opportunities for supporters to screech "Conspiracy Hypothesis" at every opportunity when finance related issues nudge against the fundamental orientation of their prevailing grain from a position of great knowledge. Apollo, run until recently by the nasty Leon Black before the stink of his Epstein ties became overpowering and he resigned,

New Names Required for GOP and Tories

    Lest anyone be unsure as to the still remaining intentions of many the men remaining within what is still called the Republican Party in America, as well as their handmaidens in what is still called the Conservative Party in England. They were tolerated and often silently agreed with by many in those groups/parties over the years and decades.   Ten years ago they started to steadily accelerate the money, hoping the time was right. Nazism in Deutschland was essentially a gangster regime, deeply envious and resentful towards The British Empire, wanting it's share of the spoils. This is precisely what happened in that decade we all learned about and thought could not occur again. Do not believe it. No-one was prepared to stop it then and many now cry "Wolf" now. No-one used the phrase "Conspiracy Theories" in 1934. It is very simple. One is either with it or against it. There is no flexible "middle ground". That's called "accomm
