UPDATE: The Met (do not) Suck

Sorry, I had to say that. Unbelievable melt down, two years in a row.

Fucking losers.

UPDATE: The Mets do not suck. As a matter of fact, the Yankees suck and the Mets will win the World Series.

In other news, get your philosophy on with the Krullster.

    Fly – you are the man!

    I think you should chop this video down starting at about the 2:50 mark and post it on YouTube again. You’ll get tons of hits buddy.

    As far as trading this “choppy” market… get off the bench son and go make some money.

    The trade is:

    On Monday:

    1.) Short Gold Stocks (It’s a losers long because the two most likely outcomes are bad for gold… depression or deflation)

    2.) Get long the ultralong S&P 500

    On Tuesday or whenever this rally looks tired

    1.) Short REITS (Long Ultrashort SRS)

    2.) Short Ryland Homes… because they are raw land pigs who’ll go cash flow negative in 2009… and bump

    3.) Short retail if it rallies (long SCC)

    Krull, the anti-Fly. Usually, he is putting on his looser act, but this time I think he was quite serious.

    He’s right .. these are unprecedented times. Not everyone is gonna make it and the game has barely begun.

    As you were.

    World’s Shortes Press Release?

    This is not a small European bank, but this sure is a short press release. In case you are wondering wtf they are talking about, the rumor is that Fortis Bank is circling the bowl.

    How much does AXA own?

    Not from a business publication, but maybe not such a bad idea to forestall more panic in bank failures.

    Jake – thanks for posting this. We are in interesting times, for sure. I’m thinking the bailout money should be reserved for FDIC backup and screw the banks and equity holders. But the issues are so complex that I have a hard time understanding the interconnectedness of it all, and I like to think I am an informed person. One thing I know is those goombas in DC have no clue.

    I offer you The Clash in thanks for the heads up:

    Oops, I forgot to add Go Rays-the East Champs. I believe their entire payroll is equal to that of A-Rod and Jeter combined. Chuckle.

    TC – beautiful day here. I hope he is playing well and enjoying the day.

    We’ve had a two week gas shortage because of the Colonial pipeline shut down. It was like Armageddon last week. Wait till Wallgreens folds under credit stress and suburbia can’t have its angst meds.

    Boomer- Thanks. He played well today and shot -4 (67), although I was actually more proud of him yesterday. He made the turn at -2 after 9 holes yesterday and then pulled his tee shot into the left deep rough (up to his knees). They found his ball, chipped it out into the fairway, rifled an iron shot and made the putt for a par.
    Then he picked the ball up from the hole and realized at that point that the ball didn’t have his marking (same brand and No.). So he called a rules violation on himself and the official said he gets penalized for hitting the wrong ball and for a lost ball.
    So he had to rehit from the tee per the official (shot no. 5) and then holed out for a par a second time. That gave him a quad 8 on the par 4 and if it wasn’t for that he would be in top three for sure going into the final round.
    Obviously not Wall Street or politician material.

    Andy Kessler says Paulson turning the U.S. Treasury into a gigantic hedge fund could be the best trade ever, generating between $1 TRILLION and $2.2 TRILLON for taxpayers.

    TC — good on yer boy. People remember shit like that.

    ______

    Fly — what are you hearing about the WB deal? I’m now hearing it wasn’t Citi at all, but Banco Santander that was looking at acquiring it.

    But nothing is settled.
