Hurricanes are for Jerks

Fine. Give it to me. It is a well deserved lashing, getting all ecstatic over ‘canes and oil rigs. Sometimes I can’t help myself. Anyone who is lucky enough to know me is aware of my obsessive/compulsive behavior towards hurricanes and how they affect oil rigs.

However, many of you gay people out there, who are short oil, didn’t expect the market to rip higher like this, did you?

See, you may have your little thesis, written down in a pink Hello-Kitty book, somewhere, that states: “when the economies of the world are weak, oil shall trade down.” I’m sure you kept that page bookmarked, and sprayed with bubble gum perfume, right? But, the market is not reflecting that.

Instead, we are trapped inside a stupid “Bernananke box,” where the destruction of inflation somehow means jobs will be created and people will buy Coach bags, ad nauseum.

Personally, I like oil men. I have lots of oil men as clients. They know how to throw a party, let me tell you.

The knee-jerk move here is to buy the oil dip. However, I never like to buy into this type of blood, while already underwater. Instead, I will direct new capital to my new trade: long [[SKF]] or Equinix, Inc. [[EQIX]] .

Also, just for fun, I’ve been buying [[FXP]] , which also gets me short PetroChina Company Limited (ADR) [[PTR]] and CNOOC Limited (ADR) [[CEO]] —making it an effective hedge against my egregious oil longs.

NOTE: There are more hurricanes coming. I promise.

    Fly, don’t be so hard on yourself … you were right about crude for a very long time, before the recent correction.

    I know you’ve sworn yourself to no profanity until the Dow drops below 11,000, so I’ll say it for you … “FUCK!” There, don’t you feel better?

    Only a brilliant man has the ability to admit a mistake to an army of followers.

    Check out VLO or TSO also, they got hammered today. Should be a win win, but today should have been also.

    Why soil your reputation more?

    “I’m gonna go buy me some more DIG, ya dig?”

    Call me silly but I don’t trust this post-Labor Day rally. Not much has changed for the intermediate term view (3 to 6 months). Pure market trickery I say, a relief post-holiday rally in a bear market.

    Here’s the question I pose: if everything is so freakin’ great out there, why doesn’t the Dow break through 12,000 or even 11,800?

    Another question: even if oil goes to 100, isn’t it possible we’re just going to be in a trading range of $100 to $120 per barrel for quite a while? We haven’t made any kind of serious switch off of oil yet (that will take years) so if demand destruction is so serious, doesn’t that mean all world economies will be going to hell in a handbasket shortly and that will be bad for stocks?

    I have little appetite for playing whipsaw movements and am going to be mellow about my stocks and go sell some more books.

    Donny:

    You fail to understand how “The Fly” thinks.

    “The Fly” is into winning, especially when he is expected to lose.

    Sort of like a guy coming off the mat to knock his opponent out.

    That’s why you’re about to win, Fly, and a few months from now these first two weeks of September may be called the Woodshedder top.

    You’re the master of the contrarian knockout punch.

    Everybody says energy is down and out, starting to sound very crowded to me.

    I don’t doubt the fury of the Wind God may descend upon us and our rigs… but the risk/reward of being right just ain’t there.

    Mr Fly,

    Could you provide some pointers on how to win while losing because I must be the biggest loser around, short banks, ibanks, and homebuilders. Getting assreamed once again by this gay “Gutsav is a pussy” rally.
