    Why set your target so low?

    The Chinese officials have broken FXP through thier use of the China Put.

    They prop up this market using “suggestions” to “key brokers/funds”.

    There will be no more credit crisis at $2000 crude. The “wealth effect” of the common man refining his jars of vaseline back into crude will send our economy soaring. Diaper rash will become a nationwide epidemic, though. Anyone who goes short crude is unpatriotic, boorish, uncouth and stealing the food out of my children’s mouths (and my net worth from off their asses)

    Big Mike, somebody’s always awake around here.

    Worshiping a golden barrel of oil will be the new religion. At $2,000 a barrel oil is clearly bullish – go now, and buy whatever you want.

    Art Cashin said it right at the beginning of April the bears have no balls, aka bearpussies. However it is better to be a pussy than bankrupt. You know that we are heading into the sort of inflation that makes swine like Bidu a veritable bargain. This is monopoly money – murderous Hanks is printing now and the GAO is finished as well as the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. If you do not see a major breakdown at the next Treasury Auction, that will be your confirmation. The Chinese can’t play footsies with murderous Hank now that they lost Sichuan Province.

    This is what this shit reform of the SEC and the CoC is about. The fuckballs have taken over the regulatory agencies. I am wondering how they intend to escape prosecution in the Obama administration.

    Put some capital aside. Use half of it to buy USO, the other half to buy UGA right now. It should be good for another 20% going into summer. If it goes down 20% your equities and other investments should benefit from the downturn in oil/gas. Weight your position accordingly.

    If the price of oil is at 125, and stays steady for the summer, that puts us above 4.50.
    So that means if you’re right, we’ll be paying $72 per gallon.

    @Prospectus – Jars of vaseline can be used as collateral at the Fed window.

    They can be converted to Treasuries and levered so you can buy more Ag and Steel stocks.

    Wood, I plan on punching out anyone who mentions the word steel today. Additionally I plan to go to lunch at Rivers today and spit on the guard at the door. http://www.riversrestaurant.com/default.php

    Fucking assholes bidding up steel, you people are faggots. On another note did you know that the barrel that oil goes into costs around $60 for the steel? Good thing there is no inflation. I was starting to worry.

    No more Crabcake and Braised Lamb at Rivers.

    Maryland Crabcake $19.95
    Pan Roasted Crabcake Served with Potato Shrimp Hash, Fresh Vegetables and Roasted Red Pepper Sauce.

    Braised Lamb Shank $25.95
    Served with Rivers Mashed Potatoes, Sauteed Spinach, Red Onion Confit, Lamb Demi and Truffle Oil.

    Seems cheap when one pays in EURO’s.

    When oil was flirting with $100 it was all over the TV because that was a “milestone” number, Crud Broker. Coverage was much less
    at $110 and $120, and now here comes the coverage back big time on Option Expiration Day.

    Do you think the transports are hitting new highs because they LIKE high gas and
    oil prices?

    Go broker your crud somewhere else. Only those with short dicks are longing oil today.

    I’ve been a raging bull since the SocGen capitulation selling climax in January. I posted two weeks ago that I got mostly flat. Now I’m putting some index shorts out. Right now I’m considering it a short term trade. But if commodities don’t roll over soon I’ll press the shorts and abandon my long bias and 1625 year end target.

    If chivas is out there, I’d love to know what he’s thinkig.

    Lots of call buying on DRYS -1.7 to 1 puts…all time high is 120 – there are no excess ships and with steel so high they can’t just slap another one together – pony up for higher rates – China needs emergency stuff and BRazil? no-brainer….I am holding (gulp) thru earnings unless someone has a piece of info I don’t….???

    “Only those with short dicks are longing oil today.”

    Funny how you make your market calls on who is covering what and how much on the news and CNBC. You are a market magician.

    “They are talking so much about it, it must be a top. I’m selling.”

    Bush to Arabs: Take Our Money, Pleeeeeeze!!!!

    http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/be0d6daa-2347-11dd-b214-000077b07658.html

    Saudi Arabia pledged to increase oil production to its highest level in two years, bowing to intense US pressure after the price surged on Friday to a fresh record of almost $128 a barrel.

    The decision to boost output by about 300,000 barrels a day came after a personal plea by US president George W. Bush to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia in Riyadh.

    So, 300,000bbl/day x $150/bbl x 365/yr = Holy Crap!!!

    Pud,
    You can’t pick a market top until after the fact (which is another way of saying you can’t pick a top without a time machine.)

    To answer your question, I believe a market top will be when the current leadership starts to shit the shower,e.g. energy, materials, industrials.

    In application, it’s easy to see on the PnF charts when XLE, XLB and XLI reverse back into a column of O’s.
