Marina Schwarz + 1,576 April 6, 2018 I disagree. Trump is at least funny. I wouldn't say the same about the Saudi prince, who's plain boring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking just yesterday how in the world oil traders managed without all of today's data. How was the EIA and API data disseminated? What about BH rig count? Twitter, the Facebook (steadfastly will call it that until the day I die), et al makes it too easy to spout off at the mouth with very few consequences. I guess OPEC was left at the mercy of big media, without various talking heads for OPEC firing up a tweet. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CMOP + 227 April 6, 2018 This is what happens when you try and Shut Trump Up. Trump freezes out chief of staff John Kelly, says he's "tired of being told 'no'" - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-tired-of-being-told-no-sidelines-john-kelly/  Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cattleman + 29 ma April 6, 2018 maybe I was a little harsh, and I am getting the feeling the art of the deal is to shock and awe so your opponent is more likely to settle but I think he could time his announcements after crude closes on Friday, then traders would have all weekend to digest it or maybe worry, maybe I should just trade half as much or not at all until the dust settles, technically crude breaking below the ascending trendline should put the bulls on their heels even tho we had a nice drawdown this week 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
