Man Up

I’m buying into this pigsty.

Fuck this. I am buying [[UYG]] , General Electric Company [[GE]] , The Mosaic Company [[MOS]] , National-Oilwell Varco, Inc. [[NOV]] and [[ROM]] .

I am cleaning out my cash reserves and going 100% long.

    Fly you should wait till Monday or Tuesday. Thats when the bottom will likely be in. Think about it. Who is going home this weekend long ? There’ll be another flush out unless you’re just day trading.

    Pissing your money away on the long side is not “being a man”.

    It’s being a little bitch that doesn’t accept the trend. This world is fucked. Nobody wants equities — all CEOs are fuckin’ liars. Why own anything? Nobody else wants it and nobody wants whatever anyone is selling.

    So what — 2000 points down. That makes things cheap? Nobody has any money. They’ll sell for months to come. Months.

    Fly,

    I love you man. I really do.

    But unless you’re making a quick counter-trend daytrade, the variables arent lined up for a bounce.

    You’ve got Bush speaking in 10 minutes (yeah, that knucklehead should be a boost of confidence to the market), then you’ve got the weekend. Unless the Fed decides to write every market participant a $100,000 check for every minute they stay long stocks, I cant see why anyone would take stocks home going into the weekend. The likelihood of a crash or, more importantly, the PERCEPTION of a crash on Monday, makes holding stocks very risky right now (Friday). Not to say that I might be wrong — but I can’t see an edge being long today.

    Jake- Gold Stocks really haven’t acted like they should have ever since the introduction of GLD (in addition to higher energy costs hurting the mines). GLD has siphoned alot of investor money IMO. For example look at where NEM was trading in the mid-90s (I recall around 60) when gold was half the value.

    This market is unlike any other. There is a complete lack of confidence. If this continues, 1000 on the Dow is not an unrealistic target.

    Ya know I got to thinking, reading about how Wall Street, main street, European boulevard, are leveraged some where in the 30 to one range. With massive sell offs on Wall Street attributable to “margin calls” what if the under lying assets run out. In other words leveraged 30 to one, there are NO assets to cover that.

    Banks are not lending to one another because of this. Really, what if the margin calls can’t be covered. We see the FED is worried about this. The FED is buying commercial loans. Now the FED may guarantee inter bank lending.

    What if foreign countries stop buying treasuries, instead sell treasuries to prop up their own markets?

    Minyanville Staff

    10:37:40 AM

    No positions in stocks mentioned.

    Vibes from Minyan Tony “Snoop” Dwyer of FTN Midwest
    I have no reason to change my intermediate-term view from Monday morning. The only difference between now and then is the market has reached into historic oversold territory and the global central banks have tinkered with monetary policy with a minimal 50 basis point reduction. 50 basis points is NOT the “massive global coordinated rate cuts” that we were looking for. While the price decline could set the stage for a sharp rebound rally once a low is in, as I indicated yesterday, there is no need to “catch the falling chainsaw” because the markets almost always retest the climactic low weeks or months later during periods of high distress. At that point we can see if the credit markets have improved enough to warrant a more positive opinion.

    I can argue that prices are due for a bounce, but the problem remains I can’t identify any sustainable buyers. Investment partnerships are out of the way or liquidating, proprietary trading desks have no capital or have been closed and individual investors have been pulling money from mutual funds at a historic pace. The needed perception changes can’t take place when the global monetary and policy leaders wait for public and investor approval before making a decision. What is needed here are “shock value” policy changes. I have written in the past that could mean a (further) 100 basis point global rate cut and/or a suspension of all CDS not tied directly to an underlying bond.

    The time for “shock value” action is now. The tinkering is clearly not working to stabilizing the credit markets, and have had zero impact. At this point, we are in the midst of an unprecedented market panic – even including the markets during the 1929 crash – and many want to try to catch a reversal that will come at some point. My view has been and remains that even if the market jumps 1,000 points, the low will be retested. If credit has improved significantly enough by that time, we will weigh becoming more positive. Until then, I remain “out of the way.”

    What Does “Stay Out of the Way” mean? It means I am tactically neutral. For investment partnerships, it means very little exposure either way and for long-only accounts it means being as close to benchmark weightings as possible. I would slightly underweight those areas exposed to the “global growth” trade that has proven to be a myth – Energy, Materials, and Industrials) and slightly overweight Large Cap Domestic Growth areas such as Health Care and Consumer Staples. I want to stand ready to take advantage of better prices as they present themselves, and it is much easier to do that from a neutral rather than negative position when credit finally begins to improve.

    The only good news is that finally, the global financial collapse may bring the “shock value” news items that could help stabilize the global markets – even if it is temporary.

    Position in SPY options

    Avalanche Control

    At this risk of driving completely off the reservation, I would offer that what we may have seen at the open this morning was PPT avalanche control. (6-700 point moves down versus 1,000 points)

    How? Buying bank stocks thanks to new provisions under TARP.

    Why? If the stock market closes due to circuit breakers, money market funds close as well. And Monday the banking system is closed for Columbus Day while the stock market is open. Talk about a liquidity nightmare?

    While I have believed for some time that nationalization of the banking system was a necessarily part of the solution, I would caution hopeful investors to look again at AIG (AIG), Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE) for the implications to share prices.

    The major banks will be saved. The shareholders of the major banks, however, may not.

    Seriously does anyone want to discuss what has happened to CHK. This is something that is fucked up. They have to be going under or something. What the fuck.

  93. CAP

    What seems to be happening is one group of longs capitulate while another group of bottom pickers come in. These new longs capitulate followed by any round of bottom pickers. Those new longs eventually capitulate. We’re having multiple capitulations here. Monday looked like the perfect capitulation. It wasn’t . Today looks like capitulation. it probably won’t be.

    What we’re seeing is deleveraging. This whole era of over leveraged investment banks and hedge funds is coming to an end. Perhaps what we’re seeing right now with this whole collapse is not abnormal. Maybe the last 25 years was abnormal. The explosion of credit. The ease with which anyone could get a mortgage or car loan. The whole debt bubble.

    That aside, maybe its abnormal for companies to be trading at 20-30-50 even 100 times earnings. Maybe thats abnormal. I know a lot of developing countries that have publicly traded companies that are trading at 1-2 times earnings. And yet here even old school companies that are never going to experience high growth rates like GE and MSFT are trading at 10-15 times earnings. Perhaps we’ll go back to a more normal market where older slow growth companies trade at 5 times earnings and high growth companies like GOOG and AAPL trade at 10 times.

    I’m wondering the same thing Komrade Karl. I’m guessing the fact that GS is looks like it is heading back to the lows doesn’t indicate a good thing.

    Where’s Pharm?

    100% long. You’re a fool. Perhaps it will make you rich, perhaps you will lose half your annual gains. But whatever happens your emotions are running you. In this case…greed, and that is the curse of a loser.

    The credit markets being completely and totally shut since the LEH bankruptcy absolutely guarantees economic disaster.

    It’s quite amusing watching the plunge protection team waste more Chinese money buying bank stocks at the open to create an illusion of buying.

    Jake, gold stocks really haven’t acted like they should have ever since the introduction of GLD (in addition to higher energy costs hurting the mines). GLD has siphoned alot of investor money IMO. For example look at where NEM was trading in the mid-90s (I recall around 60) when gold was half the value.

    More’s the pity for holders of GLD. I’d short that and buy GDX if I had even more gigantic balls, but I’m having trouble finding pants that fit as it is….

    In other words leveraged 30 to one, there are NO assets to cover that.

    Needle dick, all due respect, but I have clients — operating companies — with shitloads of cash just sitting there, doing nothing now for the last eighteen months.

    The companies that deal with gas & electricity are even more so.

    Jake,

    My question is this. If The US and EU are levered that high. How can it all be covered. Musical chairs, 20 people dancing around with only 5 chairs left?

    If it cant then that might explain the “race” to the bottom.

    help me out. Thanks Chuck
