OJ Up.... Then Down

Tyler Durden's picture




 

After soaring yesterday, Orange Juice is plunging today, which more than anything should remind us that despite all the "financial innovation" and Fed intervention and manipulation, there is nothing really "new" on Wall Street.

In reality we're probably only in Act III of the tragedy but in the movies we could very much use another financial comedy.

I read some stuff about record cold in Florida ruining crops--makes sense there's a pop and flop. A nice opportunity to make money no?

In other news--western canada is having one of the warmest winters on record. Absolutley no snow. While the ifag generation is both loving it (the opportunity to show off their chinese made D&G shirts in the middle of winter), AND hating it (obvious hard proof of global warming and even more reason to deny keystone) the farmers out here are already worrying. We need that snow pack for a good start to the seeding season. I'll be positioning accordingly.

If there is any truth to the global warming theory, it won't be evident until long after we're gone. To insist that something as short as a human life is an adequate time-frame for determining global weather patterns is sheer lunacy. As for using data outside of one's own experience, well, I'd say it's every bet as legitimate as any other government program driven by politicized idealism which funds data collection.

Besides, we're due for another ice-age anyway, and I think humanity would prefer a tropical environment to a polar one.

Yes, it's was very cold here last week, in the teens for three days straight, a little warmer since about Saturday, but it's supposed to get cold again later this week, lower 20's.

They can spray water on the trees, and some farmers will put giant heaters in the orchards, but of it get's below 28 degrees for more than 4 hours, it will most likely ruin the crop.

That's actually the technique I read that they were using. Misting the crops from below. Interesting.

Of course a bunch of you faggot doomers were getting halfhardons thinking the end was just inches away.

This is a stern warning for the PM bulls.

 

Any major spike in PM's will be instantaneouly met with an onslaught of paper selling and contract shorting, quantities of which are unlimited.

If necessary, they can short sell up to 1000 years of annual production if necessary.

Any questions?

My reply from another thread that robo puked on, and I will cut-n-paste it repeatedly as to provide him a huge STFU enima:

Look Robo, you are completely transparent in your sell-side-like selective bias and repeated attempts at disinformation dissemination. It's also very obvious you work for one of the establishments responsible for injecting the mass lie. Seeing your lack of creativity or spark of any intellectual presence day in and day out leads me to the assessment that your affiliation is with a MSM, TBTF, hedge fund or market related govt entity.

No one here is suckered by your horseshit, and the fact that doesn't stop you, (even through huge negative feedback), only serves to reinforce my assessment of your challenged intellect, morals, and ethics.

You are a pure bottom feeding leech of an institutional troll, and a shining example of why ZH exists…not to mention, flourishes.

You're not understanding RT.  Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized primarily by a lack of empathy and remorse, shallow emotions, egocentricity, and deception. Though lacking empathy and emotional depth, they often manage to pass themselves off as average individuals by feigning emotions and lying about their past.
