Fuck This: Off to Romania

Apparently, Mother Market didn’t get my “Don’t Tank” memo.

I’m over here, walking around the office, like a chicken in a coup, amazed to see all of these fuckface stocks knifing lower.

I’m better off herding goat, in the mountainous regions of Romania, than betting on stocks, “waiting for shoes to drop.”

The bears won. Big reversals and losses could be found in VMW, GOOG, AAPL, RIMM etc.

You name it; it went down.

Once again, recession proof stocks were bullet proof, such as GD, CLX, PG and UN.

Without a doubt, tomorrow is the most important trading day of 2007.

Should we recover from this foolishness, we may get the seasonal “Santa Claus rally.”

If not, feel free to join me in Romania. I’ll have plenty of work for you to do.

    Recession proof stocks are boring old winners. I don’t see why WAG can’t have a 4 or 5 point run.

    Look at the bright side you can now own VMW for $87. Whatever it is they do.

    Fuck this! I can’t go to Romania. I’m a germaphobe and I really hate insects and tap water. And goats. BTW, did we officially get a 90% upside day yesterday? Huh, chart fucers? Elliot wavers? Shed? If so, bulls win. If not, I get my passport ready.

    Don’t count on a 4-5 pt run from WAG. They have serious reimbursement issues on generics that will continue for some time. Today they said they may temper store growth to prop earnings. Dead money at best. CVS is the better play; they have a PBM that thrives on generic reimbursements.

    Zombie:
    Those 90% upside days don’t count if it was only 400 shares of Romanian goat cheese stocks that changed hands; there has to be some volume. Shitty markets sell into the close. Ergo….

    Sell shippers into rallies to bank some coin and buy your sisters out of Romanian whorehouses.

    I’d join you in Romania but I can’t afford the plane ticket. Anyone know of any boats leaving for Romania ?

    Tomorrow will be a great day for the bulls if they look at the charts upside down. At this rate , the 19th will be Black Monday. Won’t that be ironic, Monday November 19th 2007 the greatest crash in the history of the US markets . Forget Monday October 19th 1987.

    Off to take some Prozac……

    I told you fucker, to use yesterday to get short. But do you ever listen? Now you’re off to hide in Romania (where you most likely are putting children to work printing “Viz.” T-shirts).

    We’ll see sub-12,800 by Monday’s close, and that’s not a stretch.

    I bought some CFC today.

    Why would I do such a retarded thing, viz. Costanza, viz. Fly?

    Heavily tanned-CEOs aside, CFC controls about 19% of the $2 trillion mortgage origination market, making it the 800 lb gorilla of originations and servicing.

    Troubles in the housing market, sub-prime, blah, blah, blah, company’s balance sheet, blah, blah, have obviously depressed the share price.

    Know this: I ‘ve spent an inordinate amount of time away from the evening glow of ESPN, studying and analyzing the company and its financials. I hereby conclude that CFC’s liquidity position is adequate enough to ride out the asshattery in housing and emerge a stronger, healthier (but not gentler) gorilla. Be forewarned that CFC will kick their competition down cascading flights of stairs, in what will be, admittedly, a smaller mortgage market.

    Grow some balls and buy CFC. This is a stock you have time to accumulate, in a mutual-fund-dollar-cost-averaging sort of way.

    As a follow up to my last comment, my sources tell me that WFC is in the midst of hiring a ridiculous number of loan officers and mortgage originators nationwide.

    In fact, you should do your own sniffing around and you will find that independent mortgage brokers across the U.S. are joining ranks with WFC, CFC and other large lenders.

    Odd, no?

    CFC to $35 within three years. Get paid 4.5% annually + $21 per share for holding it.

    Dawg,

    Short first, use hard earned lottery money to buy tanned man and other beat downs upon market bottom.

    Buy tanned man now and suffer the death of a thousand cuts.

    Good thinking ALpha. CFC is money. By 2010 these guys will have 30% of the mortgage market and subprime will be a thing of the past. People will look back and wish they bought more CFC at these depressed prices. What , does anyone think BoA was stupid buying at $18 . They knew they were getting a steal. Rumors early in the year had BoA buying CFC for $50 + per share which most analysts agreed was fair value for CFC. Now the stock trades at $13 and change. These guys make make most of their money from servicing loans on their book not originating new loans. Keep that in mind too. So CFC does not have to originate another loan for the next 3 years and they will still be banking coin.

    WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) – Billionaire investor George Soros reported in a regulatory filing on Wednesday that his fund has taken on a 1.78 million share stake in troubled mortgage lender Countrywide Financial Corp.

    Soros Fund Management reported in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission its holdings as of Sept. 30, which included a $33.9 million investment in Countrywide.

    MVIS loses money hand-over-fist, has a yet as unproven product, unknown market share, speculative patents, dodgy management, yet, you’ll hold that and not CFC?
