    Fly,

    Your generosity would be humbling for virtually anyone but your audience.

    If/when you feel like it, would you comment on whether you differentiate between these stocks as short term trades and longer term investments,
    and if so, how & why?

    Also, if you feel like it, review how you establish a position (I think you posted something about this as a comment on Danny’s blog once).

    I know this is a lot to ask, but I am an American, and this is our way.

    Thanks for the money and the jokey-jokes.

    j wise up. They fuck you when they take your cash. Figure out how on your own. I’m staying SHORT for the BIG drop. That is when the BIG money will be made or lost. I’ll continue to ramp up more shorts the higher we go. I’m not interested in getting long against the long term trend. Those that do will end up getting killed when the worm turns and digs deeper. Hopefully, we can make it to S&P 1060 – 1080 and I’ll be well positioned to take the rest of the year off and head for the Caribbean thru March ’09.

    If you wanna us to buy that fucking system of yours you have to explain what the fuck it all means. What does 5 mean for debt/equity ratio.

    Obviously 5 for a bank is different than say an industrial.

    You have to be more conversant here fly and not walk away thinking it’s such a good system it’s gunna sell by itself becasue it won’t. There’s a load of cynical people here.

    C. A Rank of 5 is the highest possible rank. Therefore, if a stock is ranked 5 on debt/eq, you may gather it has a great balance sheet.

    All ultra ETFs are basically designed to eventually go to zero. However, most will be very gradual, and you won’t notice it, sort of like a hole in your piggy bank. The NAVs get out of wack, and since they reflect the DAILY percentage moves, and not the overall percentage moves, they are going to be messy.
    In a very extreme example, if you lost 95% one day, you’d need a 2000% gain to make up for it.
    Not only that, but look at SKF and UYG… they behave poorly. Gio’s post may help a little.
    Basically whomever manages these derivative instruments is going to have to sacrifice the gains at times, in order to make sure they can prevent the stock from going to zero as long as they can.
    They work if the industry is about to boom like there’s no tommorrow, and the up days overwhelm the down days, and they work if you have quick in and out trades, but sideways, or lots of major down turns during an uptrend and both the ultra and ultra inverses are going to fuck you, pennies at a time.

    I may buy stocks that are Strong Sells, because I am prepared to average down. The rank Strong Sell should be a warning to you pikers to stay away, unless you have coin to back up the initial buys.

    Also, you must understand, in a bear tape, most technicals will be bearish.

    As a matter of fact, most of my stocks are ranked buy only because of the strong fundamental scores.

    Essentially, as a stock gets cheaper, it’s fundies improve while the technical deteriorate. The stock become a buy when it either gets too cheap, kicking in a strong Fundie rank or the stock firms up, evening out its technical ranking.

    Joe Biden, confirming once again, that he’s the dumbest motherplucker in Congress. Or a Republican plant, whichever:

    Mark my words,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

    “I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate,” Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. “And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you – not financially to help him – we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. >b?Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

    Bush the Bartender– this is one of those unique opportunities in life where you can buy bullshit boring stocks like PG and GE and MMM and UPS and AXP and JPM and JNJ, and, well, you get the idea — and hold them forever in your portfolio, as they will rip higher from here.

    Stop looking a gift horse in the mouth, fuckers, you’re liable to lose the left side of your nose.

    Why would you buy GE when 50% is a shitty shadow bank? How much is the other 1/2 worth and the lending side is a big fact zero or less.

    Well slanteyes last time I heard the commie regime took you guys over , didn’t they? And you still aren’t allowed to vote because you can’t be trusted to make the right decision… obviously.

    It’s not a matter that we can’t survive without you, it’s that you can’t can’t survive without us. If we didn’t sell you guys the black shit (coal) and ore you’d still be living in mud huts whereas we would still be living in relative paradise.

    JakeGint,

    I understand. We can all buy these blue-chip non-discretionary consumer stocks, dollar cost average in…and maybe when we turn 75, be a millionaire. Then 5 years later, we’ll be dead.

    The point of this game is to make money now.

    No positions in stocks mentioned.

    Under normal circumstances…

    American Express (AXP) would be having funding problems.

    The company needs $25 billion or so of funding in the next 12 months just to stay alive.

    Its 5 year bonds just traded +800 or around 10.8%, clearly not a viable option.

    It can always tap the Fed’s new CP program, but the company says it can only tap about $9 billion or so.

    So I guess it either has to merge or have serious problems.

    Given the choice I wouldn’t buy AXP’s CP personally, but oops, I forgot, I don’t have a choice.

    Note that National City (NCC) says it wants to tap TARP. I don’t want to own NCC either but, oops, I don’t have a choice there either.

    * Deflation, who woulda thunk it?

    * As hiding spots are stamped out, gold is smelting lower. This has been on my laundry list as a Wishbone Hedge and I’ll likely initiate some exposure into $700-ish, if and when.

    * I’m being hit up left and right that LIBOR IS GETTING BETTER, LIBOR IS GETTING BETTER! True dat, but keep it in perspective Minyans. Three-month rates are still 2.33% above the Fed’s target rate and twice as high as it was one month ago.

    * Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, Yo, just wanna keep it real for ye faithful.

    * Stocks–as a thermometer–are anticipating that the backbone (credit) will improve. It well might but keep in mind that the S&P is up 150 handles and the DJIA is up 1400 points in a matter of days.

    * For my part and with my coin, I punted the lion’s share of my long exposure (holding onto some BHP Billiton (BHP)) while holding onto my SPY puts for Turnaround Tuesday. I plan to trade the latter matter with a trailing stop and my hat in hand.

    * Y’all see the secret footage taken from the G-8 summit?

    Re Jake’s suggestion to buy stuff like GE PG UPS etc … they may rise should markets drift up over the next months but imo we have NOT seen the ultimate low of this market.

    Buffett will be buying lower than his op-ed piece last week, just as the Buffett of his day, Rockefeller, bought the first low, but FAR from the ultimate low of the 30’s Depression.
