The Market Must Rally Today

[[VLY]] posted decent numbers. As a result, “The Fly” is an early morning recipient of a claw hammer to the cranium. People get overzealous, buying shit like it’s going out of style.

Look at the [[CLF]] for [[ANR]] deal. That doesn’t prove the materials sector is undervalued. Instead, it displays the stupidity of the CLF management team.

On the [[WFC]] news, banks are trying to rally here. I am always skeptical. However, today I believe they will go up. As a result, I bought a quick 10,000 shares of [[UYG]] at the open. As you know, this is an average down for me.

With oil weak, banks stocks posting good earnings and a few deals getting done, the bulls MUST rally this market. If it cannot run up 200+ points today, they’re fucking doomed.

If you are heavily short stock, I strongly recommend you hedge your bets with some double upside etf’s, like UYG or [[ROM]] If you enjoy the content at iBankCoin, please follow us on Twitter

    oil has more prob to go to 200 than hitting 100. We’ll see what will happen at 1030 for oil today.

    Buying at the top is like when WB bought Golden West Financial. The way to do it is like when PDG (Placer Dome) and HM (Homestake Mining) were bought when gold was about $300 and people laughed.

    That fucking Oreo in the pic on the front page was the tell that Mike used to lay down a monster against me.

    Mr. The Fly is right that today’s action is the tell for the market. Bulls need a win, badly, or they’re fucked.

    WFC was saved by insurance premium revenue and credit card revenues.

    1.) Insurance premiums? Crop insurance is about 18% of their bidness. Yeah. As a result of last great flood in 1993, the average crop insurer paid 5 times in claims than they got in premiums. The estimate is that losses in 2008 will be worse, especially with corn and soybean prices so high.

    2.) CC’s? We know what happens to the consumer during a recession.

    Bad mortgages will continue to increase in CA. Meredith says more write downs coming. She’s no dumb blonde.

    WFC back to $20.

    I dunk my Oreos in milk and let them soak for a minute or so. I was never big on the Oreo “twist and lick”.

    I like the regular Oreos instead of the Double Stuff. If I eat too much of the creme filled inside I start bouncing off the walls like a rubber ball.

    The chairrat just said the gse’s are well capitalized and in no danger of failing. The underpinnings of the rally.
