Gold is a Clown

All of you gold fuckers should wear red noses and prance around the office in big purple boots, made from beets. You idiots thought the yellow metal would protect you from “the coming financial Armageddon.” Talk show hosts, like Michael Savage, prostituted themselves at the altar of the ancient currency, like baboons in an apron, making rich folks laugh.

I just had to get that off my chest.

Into the closing hour, I am fully loaded with [[SKF]] . After selling 1/4th of my position this morning, I reloaded the boat, on a whim that market fuckery is just around the corner. Presently, [[SKF]] is my largest position.

Frankly, I amazed to see [[SRS]] up at these levels, so quickly, As you know, I’ve been a HUGE hater of commercial RE; but, regrettably, I am not able to profit from its ongoing demise.

The irony.

Sometime soon, this market will bounce and rip off the heads of long term bears. However, at least for today, it appears the bears have won.

Get hedged or die slow.

NOTE: My top 5 positions are: [[SKF]] , National-Oilwell Varco, Inc. [[NOV]] , The Mosaic Company [[MOS]] , cash, [[TBT]]

    SRS is my only short position, and will remain so, into this airburst.

    Gold = Death! Period!

    How much money has Peter Schiff lost holding Gold. I now laugh and spit at these doomsayers.

    These Fuckers screaming about:

    Inflation ~ Wrong!
    The Dollar ~ Wrong!
    China ~ Wrong!
    Emerging Markets ~ Wrong!

    The Fucking Bow Tie Man, actually moved his family to the orient, not really for business purposes, but rather because he believes that Tut Dwellers and Dog Eaters will someday rule the globe. Not in my lifetime, and certainly not in the Bow Tie’s lifetime.

    Donny:

    Inflation was all a myth, misdirection, all caused by the Forex markets. That was my initial thesis. But, at the peak of the oil craze, I was tricked into believing Asian wage inflation was real.

    The good news:

    Asian wages are no longer and issue, since they are now unemployed.

    Correct, this is an old anti-gold saw. The question is not “how much gold is there in the world,” but how many pieces of green paper with bewigged dead men on them?

    Answer– Lots.

    No positions in stocks mentioned.

    A couple of interesting developments…

    Goldman Sachs (GS) debt and GS equity now trading the same. Lousy.

    Liquidity is gonzo in the following markets:

    * Specified mortgage pools.
    * Mortgage derivatives.
    * Equity options.
    * Preferred stock.
    * CDS.
    * Corporate bonds.

    Also, CDS on anything to do with Latin America or Emerging markets is exploding out. In addition, CDS on municipal state General obligation paper blowing out.

    Also, many traders are telling me they have many margin call issues to deal with.

    All I can say is that everyone had better hope this market holds. The alternative is, well, depressing. Literally.

    Right here…right now…….
    the market has mostly factored in a doomsday scenario…more than compensated for weak earnings news and deteriorating economic conditions. We are currently entering the two most bullish weeks of the year and the rally should be much greater in magnitude after this decline. Sentiment indicators at extreme levels and from a contrarian standpoint, we are due for a rally. VIX is at a historical highs…again. It has tested this level three times and it is poised to roll over.

    CCE is a very small % of KO.
    And part of the miss they attribute to high fuel prices.

    If things go to shit, NOTHING is safe. I bet KO is safer than most. For the first time in my investing career, this stock is getting reasonably valued relative to earnings (still won’t call it cheap).

    you were saying CAP?

    I don’t disagree with you, but your statement

    “CAP Says:

    Not too late to buy SKF and SRS and more puts. GAME OVER.”

    reeks of emotion. It’s not you, it’s everyone. If you trade on emotion, you’ll make mistakes. you top ticked them amazingly well.

    It is extremely difficult to make the right decisions being emotional. I doubt you would have the same sentiment expressed above if you were buying a car. Big purchases (cars, stocks, homes, gold watches, etc) demand a stern facade. In fact, stocks are the only think I know of where people “spend” a lot of money, while emotionally strained.

    don’t sell gold down the river entirely.

    Buying gold from 600 to 650 level is a good idea. I left an order to buy at 630 with a stop at 575 and won’t touch it.

    There are far too many homos in gold at the moment and they have to be hot rod fucked out of their position before it makes highs again.
