Futures charts

Submitted by Cheeky Bastard on 05/12/2010 00:07 -0400

Starting as of this evening; everyday I will provide futures charts for the night owls. Since many of you do not have access to a Bloomberg terminal or a retail trading platform I have found the idea of providing futures charts valuable. I will post only the most significant indexes, currencies and commodities without going into individual stocks and ETFs. The point of this is, beside the aforementioned one, to paint a clear picture before the next trading day opens. So I hope you find this valuable. All futures can be seen by clicking on the link provided below the charts.

Equity Indexes

Energy

Metals

Agricultural commodities

USTs

Currencies

You can monitor all other non-listed futures here. Good night and pleasant dreams.

I too have a chronic condition and think about this on a regular basis. That said, the fact is it's already to late. All we can do is be ready and be on the right side of the trade. Take heart in the fact that even during the Great Depression 2/3 of the people still had jobs. Money was still good it was just nobody had any. Play this right and you will be able to afford insulin for yourself and others. Thanks to people like the ones in this forum you and I don't have to be concerned for ourselves but rather for those poor bastards who drank the kool-aid.

Sobering reminder of our own humanity ... I wish you well ... and also have solid expectation that the doom will not descend.

Cheeky,

I came across this article based on your previous post on Fed swaps.

While i am not an financial expert...there is something in the following article ( though conspiratorial) which is very similar to what you said.

would like to know your views on the same

Fulford went apeshit insane with this ramblings about the upcoming war between a Secret Chinese Society and the Illuminati. That said; swaps are not complicated; it basically a net neutral currency trade between Central Banks. Contextually swaps are legitimate and are used by corporations as well as sovereigns. Fulford could not have said anything different about the swaps since there isn't anything else to say; but his overly populist rhetoric mixed with insane, no proof, conspiracy theories is a bit heavy on the stomach this early in the morning, especially since i have not slept all night. That said; Fulford is scary smart and he knows his shit, being that he was Forbes Asian editor until the insanity kicked in and he went bat shit insane. If he could just free his style and narrative from all the populism and oversimplification he could be read as a legitimate source of underground information. I dont think he actually read or in any way or form referenced anything i ever wrote. He is playing a populist card by interpreting swaps as theft [which they are not, because they are alway net neutral and there is no end profit for any of the parties involved in the agreement].

i don't understand central bank currency swaps

i was thinking it is a form of QE - both sides do it at the same and then exchange (at whatever rate)

Are all "swaps", swaps?

Isn't a Collateral Default 'Swap', not a swap but insurance instead?

Im talking about currency swaps. CDS is just a marketing name and is structured so it could be seen as a fixed income structure. Selling in high finance is like selling in whores; you make ugly bitches look the pretties possible and offer them at a higher price.

Thanks Cheeky. I agree with your views on Ben. I have no doubt that his intentions are good, but his generalisations confuse me a lot.

I think he has been hypnotised to spread disinformation.
