Manics : lets hope Jess is on the money with his 'roaring 20's' market conditions later this year

Parts of the US market are just nuts at the moment. It's the IPO's going ballistic with companies rushing to float, it's the meme stocks, it's TSLA, it's the valuations. It's the Fed! Perhaps it goes on for a long while yet, but things are just getting insane imo.All the trillions of USD and still the FTSE sulks with its head stuck in decades long passed.

AMC is another having a field day ... short squeeze again

Dr Biotech : 😂 its tempting at these levels to have a dabble short on GME but i will keep my powder dry for barc and maybe something else with less lunacy !

I don’t have a problem with shorting, but it is quite amusing to a hedge fund getting stuffed by an army of small investors. Only problem will be who is left hold the bomb when it goes off, that is going to do some damage.

Have to start a rumour that Barcs is being shorted by Melvin Capital..

Senate GOP Signals a Second Trump Acquittal


Republican senators on Tuesday signaled they’ll vote to acquit former President Donald Trump in his upcoming second impeachment trial, highlighting what they see as the futility in pressing forward with the proceedings.

Most Republicans haven’t said exactly how they’ll vote, but 45 GOP members of the upper chamber voted for a point of order that called the trial unconstitutional.

The vote showed the impeachment trial “is dead on arrival,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said on Fox News on Tuesday night. “There will be a show, there will be a parade of partisanship, but the Democrats really will not be able to win. This shows they don’t have the votes to win.”

Even if all Democrats vote to convict Trump—40 already plan to while nine have said they’ll listen to evidence during the trial before deciding—they’d need 17 Republican senators to join them, or Trump will be acquitted for a second time.

“I can’t see how you get 17. I think that that was a test vote,” Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.) told reporters.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement, “Based on the information I have right now, I voted today and will vote again later in the impeachment trial to dismiss the impeachment proceedings against former President Trump.” Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) added that Trump’s comments on Jan. 6 were “rash and ill-advised,” but he doesn’t think “they meet the constitutional standard for impeachment.”

Only five Republicans voted with Democrats against the point of order. Still, even if Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) side with Democrats again on conviction, 12 more votes are required.

“It is extraordinarily unlikely the president will be convicted,” Collins told reporters.

rasl5: I did, at 150p. I'm greedily hoping for another 3-4p on the short yet.Stop's at 138p if not, so all good.

[rasl5] 27/1/2021 14:11

Manics : you called short to 134 ,and its there now.

[diku] 27/1/2021 14:08

[prbshares] 27/1/2021 13:59

[prbshares] 27/1/2021 13:58

Manics : if it hits double digits then its got to be all ... dog and all !!

[merry fisher] 27/1/2021 13:48

Well done Manics, impressive!

[manics] 27/1/2021 13:42

PRBSHARES: fastest way to come a cropper on bank shares is looking at the NAV imo.

[manics] 27/1/2021 13:41

I'm not at all saying it will, but if BARC double digits then the farm's going on it this time.

[diku] 27/1/2021 13:25

Charts for some of the shares are breaking to the downside...FTSE wants 6500...first 2 weeks of Feb tends to be weak ahead of reporting season...Barc to cross sma 200?...

[prbshares] 27/1/2021 13:22

diku : are you averaging down in this neck of the woods on barc ?

[prbshares] 27/1/2021 13:19

Manics : if you hit 130p then your short has certainly served you well. Kind of hope for all the 'long' gents on here that 130p is the turnaround point, but who knows with this market ? Jess mentioned that Barclays is very well financed with substantial reserves so value sits somewhere i guess .

[diku] 27/1/2021 13:16

FTSE is a doddle compared to that top heavy Nas index...

[prbshares] 27/1/2021 12:54

Manics : fair play ... does this mean that your short now turns long or we heading for the 200 SMA ?
