Sell the Banks!

No way those fuckers keep their gains, in the face of this blade (bear raid) on the markets neck.

While it’s true, many of you hatfuckers are waiting for a “bounce,” it’s not happening today.

The ECB is still fighting inflation. That’s right, those fuckers are living in a world of wonder, as the planet burns.

At the same time, all of the talking heads on CNBC are telling you (internet leech) to go long stocks, for a “tradeable bottom.”

Fuck that.

If you’re in cash, stay put. If you’re short the market, press your bets son; things are about to get sporty.

With Europe down 4% and Asian stocks getting the “knife to the stomach” treatment, my guess we will decline 3% today.

With my money, I am taking advantage of the unseemly dip in [[SKF]], thanks to asshole bank dip buyers. On the next leg down, expect the SKF to touch $140.

Finally, the Fed will not cut by 50bps next week. If so, I’ll eat my website.

NOTE: I’m buying [[EFU]] here too. Fuck Asia.

    They already did an emergency cut, they won’t do it again next week, unless another 9/11 happens. That isn’t going to happen either!

    So you think they will do 75 bps next week? 😛

    I don’t have the balls to short or buy SKF here. Just have to sit and wait for a bounce to get in 🙁

    I am still buying QLD. Picked some more under $65. I don’t take all my position at once. As of now I have 60% of my intended QLD position. Once we start the violent leg up I will take the other 40% and maybe more. Have over 25% cash right now. I had some SKF that didn’t get sold yesterday and I got sells at over $128 this morning !

    Seriously, 39.2% Fib is 12437. This level is also near the resistence of the downtrend line from late December. Plan to peel some profits from any longs as we approach this level. Next stop after that is 12695 (50% fib).

    all i know is we saved china’s butt tonight. they’ll party on some more, “it was all just a dream!” “the olympics” “our time is now” “buy the dip!!”

    fxp should have dropped much more today. but give it a few days, when the near term b.s. fades…

    Odds! Blood!

    It’s a fiercesome storm of firerocks from the Giants of Longue who haunt the mountains of Olympus.

    I am readying thunderbolts as we speak!

    Everyone is gonna get long for a couple days. Lots of firepower out there on the short side + those who went to cash. This bear rally could be fierce.

    Prepare to get declawed.

    Breaking my daytrading rule for a small swing trade in EZU (Europe ETF) which is about 35% financials. I hope a European bank doesn’t go under while I sleep.

    At the risk of getting my balls nipped off, I’m calling “no fucking way” on this one, and shorting the cubes at 44.08.

    Why?

    Because the cube puts I made DOUBLE MY MONEY ON IN ONE DAY…. Are CHEAPER NOW than they were when I bought them…. which was fucking YESTERDAY!!

    LOFL!

    a couple MVIS shorts starting to lose their nerve. Now if only someone wanted to buy this thing for the obvious 50% nearterm recovery…
