Rest in Peace America

Will The PPT come to the rescue?

Not the software version, mind you, the egregious assholes who jerk the chains of stock market lovers. However, should these men fail to succeed today, feel solace in knowing: all is lost. The country is coming to an end and you will have the pleasure and heart wrenched joy of telling the grandkids: “I remember when America shit the shower and when it ended.”

Our founding fathers had a clever idea, with this democracy shit. But, like all good things end, so will we, literally. Don’t cry for America. Just know, the local mall is still selling Coach bags for $459 and 3 inch wallets for $99.

There’s a diabolical plan in store for the citizenry of America. Through high taxes and inadequate services, it is clear, as well as evident, the foundations of capitalism have been betrayed for some sort of wild eyed thievery, all accepted and sponsored by our fucking elected politicians.

Back in the old days, men with hairy chests and knuckles would take up muskets to voice their opinions, against these clowns. Instead, today, we just bitch and moan on the internet, while downloading queer songs from fucking iTunes, and sipping on a homo cups of latte.

I’ve had it up to here with this pussfied country. Look at our auto CEO’s, begging for a bailout. If that was me, I’d tell the idiots from Congress: “look pal, we employ millions of people and we’ve been gang raped by your fuck ups too, via devaluing of the dollar, causing oil to spike and now the full blown collapse of the financial system, thanks to lack of regulation. If you want to go it alone, without an auto maker, so be it. Just know, you made things worse. Shame on you!”

Then I’d walk out, while sticking the middle finger at Shelby.

Into the close, I will do nothing. I don’t care if we rally 500 points. I am 45% long, 5% short and 50% cash. I am getting the stuffing kicked out of me, long idiocy. But, I can’t shake the feeling that we are due to bounce soon.

Nonetheless, I will not commit new capital, unless we knife through 7,800.

NOTE: Treasuries are in bubble mode again. [[TBT]] is looking attractive again.

    It’s not the auto makers going under that scares me. It’s all the residual manufacturing that would be hit and never come back. Not to mention the people out of work.

    If we don’t make cars in this country, we’re going to look like Havana, driving shit that’s 40 years old with no available parts.

    Fly,

    I said it before: your uncommon sense is desperately needed in DC.

    Even more, you are needed in Hollywood – that Oscar winning douche Paul Haggis got $4 million to do the Bond movie and I KNOW he shouldn’t be trusted with your lunch order.

    sniper6, you’d be surprised. I used to believe in that line of thinking, but I always found a way to do what was “normal”. f you’re used to falling short of expectations, and you set them much lower, you will still find a way to mess things up.
    Optomists at least enjoy life, and even if they’re wrong, they still find something good and can always look farthr in the future and ask “what glorious opportunities I still have.

    This rare breed of optomists that seem to be a dieing breed, will be thinking there about to be a pro football player and makee millions. Then, if for some reason they become cripled in a car crash and say “I”M ALIVE!” YES!!!” and then they’ll look forward in the future and say… Now I can spend more time learning about computers, and I can find a way to launch a million dollar internet business.
    Because they were optomistic, they were able to find the opportunity and succeed and do much more than anyone else in their position would.
    Where as if a pessimeist had that happen he’d say “I wish I would have died, and they’ll live life as nothing, being nothing but a burden on society.
    You do not see a lot of pessimists running billion dollar and million dollar businesses. It’s unlikely they’ll have many women either…
    They think everything is pointless so why try?

    But by failing to try, or believe in posibilities, they prevent themselves from ever finding a way to improve their lives….
    Who cares if you’re disapointed, shoot for the moon, even if you fail, you’ll still do more than those who aim for hell, and you’ll probably enjoy the journey much more too.

    I’m listening to live audio of a meeting of the Regents of the Univ. of California.

    They noted that the State is projecting annual 20% budget shorfalls (somewhere around $22 billion) for the full 5-year window they project.

    You have to reuse a lot of paperclips to save $22 billion.

    Of course, he said ‘hahahaha no way…c’mon, pal’. I said fine have fun shuffling your business cards.

    Well j, let’s see what we got on 11/19. NEW LOWS on a closing and intraday basis on every index except no new intraday low on the DOW. I guess I was wrong. You win.

    BTW, great buy on C today and your BEAV made a new 52 week LOW today. Well done!

    Don’t worry I’m sure fly’s PPT and your M1, 2 & 3 will save the rock solid American economy with it’s 72% GDP based on buying shit with debt. BOOYAH!!!

    BTW, NEW LOWS again tomorrow!

Some great babes are being thrown out with their bathwater. This is really coiling up the spring. You want to be long when this reacts explosively upwardsly.

    Sorry boys my next target is S&P 680 which we should see in December. We should get a bounce there based on an ’09 2ND half recovery goldilock’s story which of course is bullshit and will not happen(just like ’08). What can I say, the sheepeoples and cows are stupid(SSF 60). As you know I am an extreme BEAR. I’ve seen how bad the real world can be. I get the sense that most of you on this board have not seen the worst and therefor think it does not exist and can’t happen in America. WRONG. I do not expect a real bottom until 2015…possibly. This is necessary to purge America of people like paulson and his buddies. Until that is done the bottom will not be in. Prepare for really bad times ahead…the GREATER GREAT DEPRESSION and much more violence on an international scale. BTW, unemployment claims will be up again tomorrow and the market will go DOWN.

    Watch Asia, Japan and Europe go down the crapper tonight.

    Success to all smart(REALIST) BEARS!

    Managing profits from products made overseas and sold to US consumer who is in way over his head in debt. Is a catch 22 business model. The very fact congress and bankers tinker with debt ever tweaking that little extra out of consumers.

    Hedge fund exec seeks additions to vast estate
    By Colleen Flaherty
    Staff Writer
    Posted: 11/18/2008 02:40:32 AM EST

    GREENWICH – Hedge fund manager Steven Cohen is no stranger to the Planning and Zoning Commission.

    The panel has approved many additions to his Crown Lane estate since he bought it in 1998 for $14 million. The founder of SAC Capital in Stamford is back before the commission.

    At its Dec. 16 meeting, the panel will likely review a preliminary site plan for two additions, totaling 1,145 square feet, to the 35,085-square-foot mansion on 14 acres Cohen and his wife Alexandra.

    Already larger than the town’s recommended maximum volume of 150,000 cubic feet and boasting an ice rink and indoor pool, 30 Crown Lane would gain a breakfast room, a garden room and a “His” dressing room, as well as more storage, from the proposed construction.

    Both additions would be built over existing impervious surfaces, avoiding increased runoff, and Cohen has received a green light from the town’s Engineering Division.

    The commission was to review Cohen’s proposal is its meeting Nov. 13, but the applicant postponed the review. Cohen’s attorney, Barry Hawkins of Stamford, did not return a call seeking comment.

    The postponement may be because of an incomplete application. In a September filing with the commission, the applicant failed to submit full floor plans.
