What a man of action, this Trump! He doesn't waste any time: he returns to the White House and, poof, immediately a nice shutdown to break the ice. A remarkable record, they say. Well, if the goal is to paralyze the government apparatus, he's a real Champion. And how lovely this new political fashion that 'rewards hardline positions.' Finally, a return to values, to the old ways: it's either my way or the highway. In this case, it's the country that goes off the cliff. But compromises? Stuff for the weak, for those who actually want to govern. Much better an epic showdown on the brink of disaster, with 750,000 people at home and services collapsing. That's why it's called a 'power game,' isn't it?

True, but this time is different, he says he is going to start firing left and right. On top of tariffs and all the rest.
At some point thing will break...

On that note this morning the USD/CHF is under heavy accumulation on a 'v' bottom around 4 am central. I overslept after trading last night scalping baby pips. Its close to breaking back over 0.8000 maybe for the last time in forever?

When I saw the outrage over the Mexican Hat meme and the following photo op that took place I had to stop and ask myself just how much taxpayers forked over to cover their time and trouble to stand up to the irreverence of the Hispanic population no matter who you point a finger at. What matters is that (IF) this is all these people have to do before the dreaded 'shutdown' please go mix a Margarita and get the party started. The fact that We actually pay them to spend Our money while they get way better Market tips than We share leads me to believe a shutdown is really a covert operation for an early Holiday vacation.

Oct 1, 2025 7:33am

All I know is after buying the AUD/USD dump and pump while I started some rice it popped up and I dumped it for a nice gain. Now, I have to go on a 1 hour in Jail vacation to be processed and released. Otherwise, I give it all back and then some. Maybe the Govt. shutdown is a good thing but I doubt if it will shut up any of the Taco Hats from their feelings or being butt hurt. Orange Man strikes again!

Not sure if this sounds like a pump but here goes... USD/CHF has had a (inverted head and shoulders) over night. Not that I hold any reverence but the pattern suggest that deep pockets have been driving price down since topping out yesterday morning at 0.8000. In other words it looks like big players have been scaring price down and soaking up shares many time on a lower time frame like a 3 min chart. Right now its sitting just above yesterdays close and holding up as the London session gets under way. Yesterday is was crazy volatile at this time of day with lots of see-saw action. The 'dips' have become less aggressive suggesting that most of the 'fear of losing' after yesterdays nice ride to the HOD is pretty much done. Maybe? ha, ha

I could be rude and insult your president, but I won't because I know very little about him.
One thing I do know, when Russia starts coming to a town near you, you will want what our 'stupid' and 'irresponsible' president has to offer to protect your nation.

I may not have dyslexia, but I am forever forgetting what time zones mean. That link still doesn't say what central time means, so I have no idea. Communicate clearly, like you are speaking to an Australian. I think that at one point of the year for a few weeks we have five (I know this from listening to the national radio broadcaster and it drives them nutty each hour getting it right).

Why not say New York time? Chicago time? LA time? That would be too easy?

I've thought about this a bit and have deleted at least one draft including quoting Meatloaf...

But I persist because something is really fishy in your play on words - the difference between a condition precedent and a condition subsequent. You were speaking condition precedent, I was subsequent.

Let's play for a bit -

I could ride my bike tomorrow, but I won't because it has a flat tire.

// and no flat tire? (condition subsequent, and why I then wrote the word would)

I will ride my bike tomorrow because I fixed its flat tire.
