How ‘Bout a Late Day Rally

Shorts are running for fear of a Sunday night deballing.

Here’s the kicker:

Who will win today’s end of day battle?

Longs trying to get long ahead of a potential Sunday night surprise; or, shorts who are banking on a liquidation of Morgan Stanley [[MS]] ?

And, will margin selling outstrip short covering?

My money is on the evisceration of the old bearshitters.

    I am now 2% up on the day with a 100% long portfolio. AAPL was a big buy of mine at 85 this morning, it was a panic price I had in for some time. I also bought the panic in CHK.

    Seeing short covering in lots of shit. Some of my beaten-down smallcap industrials (opened -10% like everything else) are actually 5% in the green.

    The PPT (Bernanke’s one, that is, not the cool one) is finally afoot?

    Paradigm, I had my AAPL panic buy in for some time but CHK after talking to some desks I was hearing people were dumping based on the CDSs. They said they were buying the panic so I jumped on board as well.

    Pity our poor Canuck friends. Canadian banks are “the strongest in the world”, the American banks are at Nambian levels, and the CAD/USD rate drops from $0.88 to $0.83 in ONE DAY! A 5% downard currency move in a country whose government is running a surplus, no less. Madness. (Blasphemy…)

    this market is a fucking mess.

    it’s all traders. there are no long investors. program trades are vicious, because they’re so big, relative to overall cash flows.

    Fool’s rally. Like shooting fish in a barrel. That was not the bottom. It will be next week and will be at least a 1000 Dow points down. The G7 will deliver nothing. Can you imagine the additional write downs at 9 cents on the dollar that are still hiding in the shadows. I think GS was an indicator of that today. The BEAR is not done.

    Jake – I had to chase QLD down the rabbit hole, triple down (I had 3500 shares by the low) and as soon as I got my average cost back, poof. I was out. I just couldnt take the pain. Pussy. indeed.
