Yes, I've been watching the Lego Movie with my kids but it does sum up the mood in the markets as we finish up the week with MORE FREE MONEY from our Chinese masters. That's right, In order to keep the party going, the PBOC has set their non-bank deposit rate to ZERO, essentially allowing their financial institutions to lend exponentially more money as ANYTHING can now be counted as a deposit and used for leverage – AWESOME!
This AWESOME flood of new money into the global markets sent the Shanghai Composite up 2.77% this morning. Hang Seng is closed and Europe is closed but our markets are open and our Futures are up a bit but we'll short the Russell (/TF) yet again under 1,208.50 as it would be awsome if it fell back to 1,200 again and made another $850 per contract.
We're telling you how to get your own share of the FREE MONEY folks – they are just giving it away to rich folks like us who can afford to play the market. In our Long-Term Portfolio, for example, we're going to double down on our USO 2017 $23 calls, now $4 to bring our total to 50 long contracts. It would be awesome if USO just got back to $30, which have been the lows of the past few years – as that would drop $35,000 back in our pockets – a nice way to offset rising gas prices over the next couple of years.
