Here Comes the Homo-Hammer

No fucking way we escape the “homo-hammer” today. Frankly, if we’re not down 3%+ today, I will be appalled.

However, since the market is down, it is possible “helicopter Ben” will swing by for another 25 bps cut or two.

Seriously, if you’re bottom fishing in this tape, you need to have your head examined. Perhaps you’d be safer eating breakfast at your local mental institution, than at work—buying stocks.

Just a thought.

Real quick, I will sell short more [[DECK]], while bulking up on [[SKF]].

Also, considering the consumer made a comeback yesterday, I want to sell her short, via [[SCC]].

Essentially, the game plan is to prepare for sudden death in the market today.

Developing…

UPDATE: I’m also buying [[REW]], on that [[AAPL]] mess.

    Thanks for the SCC. I was just scanning ETFs looking for a way to short retail/consumer after yesterday’s ‘rebound.’

    The “homo-hammer” swings both ways. Be careful with your inverse ETFs or you may be its next victim.

    SKF is looking ripe for the picking here. There is no reason for the financials to rally for a couple of months.

    I just entered some cmo.

    We were a bit stretched oversold Pros. Due for some kind of liquidity rally here.

    I went from 133% short to 3% short and 28% long in a day and a half. How the fuck did that happen?

    If the Yen weakens today the market will continue rallying. A major factor in the weak open was the rise in the Yen overnight.

    what is a good exit on dig DUG?

    I’m thinking of going from all short to cash for a nice weekly return.

    I learned with MVIS – take the $

    I would be surprised if we don’t get up 2% or more on SMH in afternoon before a possible selloff.

    I think after the wiseguys are done buying financials, retails, reits & homeys, and the short covering ends there, we head down again, in earnest.

    Maybe thats asking too much.

    Or maybe all that shit is telegraphing another fed move shortly.

    everything looks horrible except… mvis, which is starting to show some resistance to getting shoved down any further. what about a strategy that says “buy now, and mvis will pay you a 50% dividend to wait around till 3Q-4Q to see how things are going”. The stock could easily rise from the ludicrously overshorted to merely badly oversold (around $3.35-3.50) in the next 6 months. Risk, of course, is competitive newsflow till then.

    meanwhile, short more solars, it’s good for you.

    How about some MVIS, would be great to buy it this cheap, but a secondary is very possible.

    I think that’s it for now boys. We just bounced off the 200 EMA (weekly chart) for the first time in over three years. I am lightening up on all shorts and going into cash until this thing bases. I will then go long only if we break the down trend line. But who am I, I’m the fucktard that loaded up on AAPL shares last night. Whohoo! Seriously, Dow 11,723 will hold and serve as floor until another round of shit hits the fan.

    BTW – SBUX good for a bounce.
