This one is great; an existing short plus a butt-ton of January 2019 puts on XME, mentioned here, just like all my shorts, countless times.

Perfect Gap Fill for Miners
Exodus 8:2
I mentioned this one yesterday, but I think I only showed its moving averages. Here, much closer (and featuring Price Bars – – a SlopeCharts exclusive) is the metals and mining fund, against which I own puts and am also short.
TLT-ing Lower
Unrelated to anything else I’m about to say: the two biggest cultural influences of my life are (a) Star Trek, the original series and (b) Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

I was compelled to just throw open the kimono, since even at this moment the last post has hundreds of comments, and since this is the last post of the day, I don’t want you poor souls to have 500 comments on a post………..so – – even though our awesome Premium members keep this place open – – I’m going to just do a general distribution on this one.
I also want to thank those of you who are pests. I mean that in the most loving way possible. Some folks write me and ask me for THIS and ask me for THAT.
