Bunch of technical trader discussion. Not interesting and technical trading is spooky BS. “Buy the dips”, “chase the longs”. What a bunch of BS.

Much better to have a discussion on fundamentals. You’ll be wrong too (any prediction is given all the uncertainties), but at least you’re learning about the levers of supply and demand.

That title is a real stunner isn’t it? Must come as a major shock to those who’ve been in a coma for the last 10 years.

One explanation for falling oil prices has been some oil has been coming out of Libya. This, we find is the exception. For the second time in two months the export pipeline in Yemen, a Saudi neighbor, gets bombed, balances Libya with a LOSS of 100,000 B p/d.

Real news is happening this week. Nuke nuke talks in Switzerland.
Iran’s stock has risen in light of ISIS (Islamic State)
battlefield progress. the US now desperately needs Iran
to hang on to what little influence we still have in Iraq.

If US goes soft on Iran’s nuclear planning, Israel could
act unilaterally. Israel must choose which flavor of Islamic extremism they prefer. First, the need to empty Gaza.

When a commodity falls to three month lows as has WTI in the face of almost certain Major Disruptions,
traders call this “running the stops”. Weak longs are stopped out making more room for players with deeper pockets.

This is a ‘normal’ EIA release week, Wednesday, 10:30
Eastern. If we show a deficit greater then four million barrels, fasten seat belts.

Oil prices are dropping because the economies of the world are collapsing and have been since 2008 at the very least. I’m amazed at how people still believe the numbers coming out of the stat offices after all these years. The numbers are massaged, the economy is in decline, oil eroei is in decline and nobody notices because a few shirts massage some numbers to make things look fine. According to shadow stats US GDP has been in terminal decline since 2002 . Any minute now they will change the way they report GDP again (include blow and hookers like Italy and the UK maybe?) and everything will be fine again. HA
