The Recession is Back

Okay, no more fucking around with elections and shit. You fuckers need to hedge up and avoid murder holes. They’re all around us. Just when you thought the market was lifting off, BAM, in you go and off goes your head.

First thing this morning, I am getting my brain blown out in BE Aerospace, Inc. [[BEAV]] and American Vanguard Corp. [[AVD]] . The problem with AVD, as you know, is liquidity. I am stuck in this fucker, for good or for worse—sort of like being married with kids.

On the bright side, my hedges are working. Right here, I like [[REW]] , [[SDS]] , [[EEV]] , [[FXP]] and short Petrohawk Energy Corporation [[HK]] . Let it be known, I bought REW and FXP on the opening tick. While it’s true, the market will rally into Thanksgiving. It’s also true that stocks like Apple Inc. [[AAPL]] , Hewlett-Packard Company [[HPQ]] and Research In Motion Limited (USA) [[RIMM]] need to trade down a bit. Hence, I bought REW.

On the back of an Obama mandate, I want to sell oil/gas over and over and over. HK is the worst of them all, with a stock price grotesquely overvalued. Weigh into that fucker, as if it just burgalirized your house and urinated on top of your new car.

Finally, on the long side, I still like banks. As a result, I will not sell the rest of my [[UYG]] or Citigroup Inc. [[C]] . Instead, I will look to buy more on dips. And, I still think the homos at [[M]] go higher.

UPDATE: I bought 3,000 [[REW]] @ $96.04. And, I bought 2,000 [[FXP]] @ $78.10

    Bullshit, as soon as people realize that the Messiah will pay for their mortgages and lattes they will have nothing to worry about.

    By the way this is thievery!!! Cunts.

    Obama proposes matching 50% on the dollar for the first $1,000 of retirement-plan contributions for families earning less than $75,000 a year, to encourage savings.

    Hey Fly, I am mulling this one over. How do you like GPC as a short here?

    We are right at the 200 Day MA, it is an auto parts provider. They did announce very nice earnings last quarter though.

    I think a short is in order though.

    for the love of …anything, what will it take to make people give up on “egregious”?! It’s auto-caricaturing at this point. Thirty years from now whenever that word is read, people will think “that is sooo 2008 … what a stupid year that was, full of ridiculous people”. Like mauve and black in 1982 and avocado kitchens in the 70’s.

    Ah Jake! you are concerned the economy and the stock market will reverse the last 8 years of uptrend and go down.
