    I completely concur with Danny … no motherfuckin’ way we’ve seen capitulation. I want to see the .vix skyrocket in an epic event, and complete flushing of the markets. We have yet to see that!

    I want to see that bald fucker, Larry Kudlow, tell everyone that this is no time to be long US stocks. <---That's Capitulation. Well, maybe not that far. I think a snow cone has a better chance surviving hell, than Kudlow tellin' fuckers to sell their stocks.

    Thinking “T’s (rillions)” as opposed to “B’s(illions)”.

    The “Great Global Derivative Unwind” remains perched in the Bottom of the 4th.

    Are there any “Live” arms left in the Bullpen?

    Will the “Game” witness the 7th Inning stretch Or, be called due to Darkness and or Thunderstorms?

    Committee to the baldy: of course we trust you, lex. Its just as soon as the next bastard takes your seat (2009), he’s gonna rip our balls off with trillions of debt, meaning more currency deflation to offset trade deficits.

    From Gary Savage’s (The Smart Money Tracker) subscription service* tonight:

    “Now let me point out that the extreme stress in the financial sector is most likely going to require the Fed to continue cutting just like Japan did. However they can’t do it as long as oil is at $145 a barrel.

    I expect a lot of pressure to be put on oil in the coming weeks to allow the Fed to continue cutting to save their banking buddies. I wouldn’t even be surprised to see Congress pass whatever laws are required to drain a significant amount of liquidity from the oil markets.

    I also wouldn’t be surprised if this happens right as oil corrects naturally. The outcome would be to drive oil much lower than the fundamentals call for.

    Do you see how we could already be setting up the next rally in oil?

    The reason oil rallied so much during this leg is because of the suppression in ’06 to allow the Fed to stop hiking rates. I think the powers that be are going to set up the same mistake all over again.”

    I’d love to get Crude’s take on the above.

    Jake:

    That’s all random thought and wild speculation. I’ve been hearing that bear oil argument for 6 months, yet here we are at $140.

    In short, fuck Gary and his nonsensical rants.

    Fly,

    Check yo’sef, hatah.

    Gary has been an “oil bear” for all of about a week now, and is a commodity bull for the long run.

    Oh, and spot on in almost every call (save for a brief dalliance w. FXI) since about mid-October ’07.

    Sometimes it pays to accept input from other sources.

    You may be a rock, Garfunkel, but no man is an island.
