Retest the Lows

When I was long, I’d hate when people would say “we need to retest the lows.” However, now that I’m bearish, I welcome such fucktarded commentary.

In all fairness, the recent low was nothing more than a blip, due to the fact that we reversed hard off of it. We need to sit at those lows and wallow—causing immense stress and angst amongst asshole dip buyers like Dennis Kneale.

Currently, this is that way I’m playing the downside:

[[SKF]] [[FXP]] [[REW]] [[SMN]] [[TWM]] [[EFU]] [[DCR]] [[DUG]]

Short [[LEH]]

Short [[DECK]]

Short [[EWG]] If you enjoy the content at iBankCoin, please follow us on Twitter

    No wallowing here, we will prob hit the lows and bounce again. Only to head back down farther.

    BTW whats up with Danny dissing all the posters on this blog? The Fly and others are prob responsible for turning him bearish and enabling him to back coin. If this were my blog I’d toss his ass in with Juices salad.

    Cubs:

    I agree with your Danny sentiments. Yesterday, I instructed Jeremy to place Danny’s column UNDER my Presidential banner, on the front page. However, he must’ve forgot.

    I’ll see to it that his insolence go punished.

    I am still looking for a reversal today. It may be a one day affair but I think another tradable low will be at hand towards wed-thurs next week. One worth playing.

    Ok, enough of my fucktarded calls.

    Now I go back to my hole.

    We can reverse; but who cares?

    Any spike should be faded.

    I’m just not that short term.

    My spidey senses are tingling. I bet we sell and sell and sell again. 500 down day on the Dow? 100 down on the Naz. Me thinks so.

    Update: Did I say that? Oh well. That’s why i need a break.

    One thing I hate about CMO: It trades alongside with the financials. Rarely does it go up when the market goes down. I am this close to cutting it off.

    Re: CMO

    The underwriters who were probably shorting it last week when they did their secondary (and I’m sure it was the underwriters since it took a big dive the day before the secondary was announced) have probably been holding it down so they can cover prior to earnings tonight; saw the same action with NLY. Most boneheads do not realize secondarys add to book value with REITs.

    Make sure you point that watergun directly at the center of the supernova. I imagine that’s your best chance of “putting it out” before it consumes you.

    Triple bottom breakdown developing on the Dow if we break 12,100 intra day on the P&F charts.

    Maybe today….y’all have fun and make it a good day.

    Be well (bears).

    There’s horseflys and gadflys, but is there such a thing as a “Bear Fly”?

    Maybe I missed it…but when did I talk shit..about the bloggers here? Never.

    Fly, Rage, Shed, and Duc are on point.

    I owe The Fly big for rescuing me from an asinine existence where I don’t get to talk to all of you. See, he really does care.

    Jake, Yeah I figured that.

    Your comment was funny…next invention…spell checker that recognizes if a key next to another key forms the wrong word. Gleam, glean, ok so I have nice teeth, wanna fight about it?

    still though, I am not above a good scolding when mistakenly using the wrong word.

    Yes, it’s unfortunate that “gleam” is actually a real word, although it probably should be chucked from the lexicon for lack of use.

    That’s the problem with English, they never thrown any words away.

    Jake,

    Yes – long XLF and UWM. Have been since Monday afternoon. I covered my shorts then and went long. I am also long JBLU – nice move today, APA, AAPL, SBUX and JCOM. It all adds up to no more than 25% of my holdings – combined. I am not retarded, but I am playing contrarian side of things here for a trade. Otherwise, I would be sleeping like Boomer, or would need to crawl back into my hole like Juice.

    like this website.

    Jake I watched those videos…I agree with DT…it sounds terrible, but what do we do? I mean, it sounds cataclysmic.

    Also, not like I know or could do better, but that analysis seemed cursory. How has no one noticed this asset anomaly besides him? I assume others have. What’s their take?

    Dooc,

    It was a joke. I am in love with the English language and it’s variations.

    Note Calvin’s proving my point by providing an early nineteenth century usage of the word I stated was “outdated.”

    If he weren’t such a Huckleberry, he’d understand the meaning of “irony.”

    Danny,

    Bookmarked, thanks.

    As for the Greenrush piece, I dunno, but it strikes me as significant that for the first time in almost 50 years the banks are significantly underreserved to the tune of a negative number.

    What to do with it? Buy more SKF, I’d say.

    And stay the hell away from XLF.

    Chart: S&P 500, 1993-2008, with 20-month moving average.

    Editorial: It looks as if we’re in the midst of a structural sell-off, Yamada says the likes of which we haven’t seen since 2000. We could be in for an extended bear market period – and it could be global. Sell any rally, she counsels.

    Chart: Monthly Relative Performance of S&P Financials, 1996-2008.

    Editorial: This chart suggests that financials are falling apart, observes Yamada, and that they could continue to deteriorate. Sell the strength.

    Yamada also said several weeks ago to buy BRCM as it was going to breakout to new highs. Then again, she may have had the chart upside down.
    Those chartists engage in witchcraft with their tools of the trade.
