Flashback "If I were president, you'd have $30 oil right now," Trump said. "I would call up Saudi Arabia ... and I would say,
'That f***ing price is coming down, and it's coming down now.' And you know what? They'd lower that price so quickly, and it would be so easy."

If your going to trade Futures you should at least know how or hire someone who can read a chart - NG has been rising for the past three years.
Shorting it for a counter trade for a couple of weeks maybe. It had been breaking out for four months prior to optionsellers.com capsizing the boat.
It was diverging - five waves to the bottom of the StockK. Price made a touch of the StockK band back in July - you find buyers - off to the Moon.
September would have made you nervous, cross, recross, sentiment had changed to the upside, the StockK and StockK band were on your side.
The Market gave you a chance on the cross, recross in September to exit your shorts and go long, these are one month candles, not 5 minute candles to decide.
If you were shorting NG from August on you were trading against the trend. They didn't use a stop loss, or hedge their options - they traded naked - unlimited losses
Your managing hundreds of millions and you don't have a frickin clue of what your doing
NG traded the Fivots to the exact line - 50% up and 100% down and 250% up - Sellers gave it up when the StockK, K crossed the D, 7 and 14
They weren't waiting at the top band anymore, they were in at the bottom band buying
/NG Futures November 2018
You should not be letting other people trade Naked Options with your Money - Never Ever
This is the teaser on the homepage of optionsellers.com - There is nothing about Naked Options - Just an unexplained remark about spread options
Vertical Spreads - At least one side is always making money and you can create a huge spread and get rid of the loosing side
One Month After The Boat Sank - /NG Returned To The Lows Of September - Rule One In Trading - Use A Stop Loss - Rule Two - See Rule One
So I say I say welcome, welcome to the boom town Pick a habit We got plenty to go around Welcome, welcome to the boom town
All that money makes such a succulent sound Welcome to the boom town

Halliburton spokeswoman Susie McMichael added that the company
"will continue to monitor the business environment" and cut costs as needed.

From left, Minot Mayor Curt Zimbelman, North Dakota Commerce Commissioner Shane Goettle and Brent Eslinger,
Halliburton, took part in a press conference held Tuesday morning at City Hall where Halliburton unveiled plans for a $15 million facility to be constructed in Minot.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney, who previously served as Halliburton’s CEO, was instrumental in getting the so-called
‘Halliburton Loophole’ inserted deep within the pages of "The Infamous 2005 Energy Bill". This loophole stripped the EPA of its regulatory
oversight of hydraulic fracturing in natural gas development, a technique pioneered by Halliburton.
In 2005, the oil and gas industry was granted an exemption from the Safe Drinking Water Act,
Allowing the injection of toxic fluids directly into groundwater without oversight by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

drillers in recent years rushed to tap new oil-and-gas deposits across the country—and contributed to the collapse in prices for both fuels.
Samson’s woes have been exacerbated by the very tools private-equity firms use to juice their returns:
Samson carries debt used to fund its own purchase and pays fees to its owners. Last week, Moody’s Investors Service
downgraded Samson’s credit rating while taking the unusual step of simultaneously flagging the company for further downgrade."

Blindness Return To Top Of Page |
Willful blindness (sometimes called ignorance of law, willful ignorance or contrived ignorance or Nelsonian knowledge) Is a term used in law to describe a situation in which
A person seeks to avoid civil or criminal liability for a wrongful act. By intentionally keeping himself or herself unaware of facts that would render him or her liable.
It Goes Way Beyond A Legal Standard - It Is A Human Circumstance That Knows No Bounds
Gayla Benefield was just doing her job — until she uncovered an awful secret about her hometown that meant its mortality rate was 80 times higher than anywhere else in the U.S.
But when she tried to tell people about it, she learned an even more shocking truth: People didn’t want to know. In a talk that’s part history lesson, part call-to-action,
Margaret Heffernan demonstrates the danger of "willful blindness" and praises ordinary people like Benefield who are willing to speak up. (Filmed at TEDxDanubia.)
