Brainless Rally

Egregious zombies will bite through your cranium and suck out your gray matter, if you stay long this market into 2009. While it’s true, it is very encouraging to see the market rally today, in the face of abysmal news. However, we’ve seen this story before, haven’t we?

How does it end?

I’ll tell you. It ends with “The Fly” running you over, in his time machine, fitted with spiked wheels. That’s how!

Back to the real world:

California is just about insolvent, yet you find a reason to buy stocks. I know, I know, the fucking lines on your charts are aligned perfectly with the solar patterns in the sky. The rally shall commence, until the last bear is tossed into the high pressure cooker. I know.

But, there will be an “exogenous” event, sometime soon, that will shake you to your core. You will just sit there, dumbfounded, thinking “why didn’t I listen to Senor Tropicana”?

Oil is fucked in a very severe way. With that said, I like the reversals in NOV/RIG today. However, down below $60, oil stocks need to be sold on all rallies. Their numbers will be to die for, literally.

Look, this market is gayer than a three legged sculpture of Liberace. Use this rally to sell, else feel the spikes of my wheels.

    I disagree for all the reasons I outlined earlier, looks like Cramer stole them all from my post too. By the way I would HIGHLY advise everyone to sell FXP. That thing will be a ticker of the past soon. Its toxic.

    I don’t think the stupidity ends here. You thought people were gay-giddy over $2 gas, wait until they see $1 gas. There will be a delusionary euphoria that mixes with Obamamania and last until January.

    Broke the steep downtrend line on SPY from September, and looks like we held so far

    All sorts of stuff that shouldn’t is performing well – banks (incl. God’s bank, JPM and HNBC), FRO, rubber mattress supplier TPX, china, home freaking depot

    -500K jobs doesn’t matter

    Eggsactly. Although there’s a mathematical middle ground you’d be looking for.

    If gas drops to $1 (it won’t not in Fly’s nabe), then even washing in the stuff is not going to bring back the equivalent tax receipts.

    Cheaper gas = higher tax revenues. Say what you fucking want but people will drive more and go out more. I know this argument can go on and on but how can you say cheaper gas = less tax revenue and at the same time say cheaper corporate taxes = more tax revenue. Purely wrong. Yes I know you say “people have to drive” and to that I say bullshit. They don’t. They take the train. You don’t fucking think people will want to drive to work in the winter versus freezing outside waiting for the train?

    Gaps, relax.

    It’s a matter of pure math, cochise.

    When gas goes from $3.00 to $1.00, people do not drive 3x as much, to make up for that tax revenoo.

    Not the same as with corp taxes where the denominator does not move as much.

    The tax loss on gas comes from the sales tax side. Most states have a tax per gallon, say 15 cents, and the sale itself is subject to the state sales tax, which is a percentage of the purchase price.

    In theory, the higher the price of gas, then the more sales tax is collected.

    However, higher gas prices reduce demand thus reducing the amount of revenue generated by the per gallon tax but increasing the sales tax collected.

    Lower prices, though, can result in higher sales and increased revenue from the per gallon tax, but less revenue from the sales tax portion of the sale.

    Where the balance is depends on each state’s tax structure.

    Many people are not “topping off” gas tanks any more, as the next fill-up will be at a yet lower price. This reduces spot consumption, as more cars are driving around with 1/2 empty tanks.

    What nonsense is this? HIG says ha-ha just kidding, everything is fine now, really, just fine… and the market *believes* it and rallies?

    We will pay dearly for this insolence. There’s no way, shazam, the insurance companies are just fine.

    Gahhh!

    the market is going to crush all the shorters, then drop….

    that’s a real grinder market. crush both short term bulls and short term bears.

    no day traders can make money easy! That’s why Warn Buffet make more money than all the day traders. That’s a great lesson learned.

    Fundamentally, the market is far from out of the woods, even the market is forward looking. I can not see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    We will hit the new lows sooner or later, and see all the happy longs get raped again

    Gaps, to be clear, I am not arguing with your (temporary?) bullish argument here.

    But I think Fly’s point is that tax revenoos will be down across the board for fat egregious state tax hogs, and the dropping in gas prices will exacerbate that situation.

    Luckily for us, this is not “Soviet Union,” and the State does not make up the predominate piece of GDP.

    Yet.

    Jake, nonetheless the gummit is continuing to expand as quickly as it can in any direction possible. Have you heard the news from the Limeys?

    Donny buys FAZ at 44.00

    Congrats to the bulls who played the right side of the trade.

    However, understand the market cannot ignore this news much longer, and we will be making new lows in the future.

    Jake I know your not but here is my thesis. I live in a fucking greedy tax city with an idiot mayor. I honestly saw train ridership explode on the gas price increase to $5. Now we are paying $1.89 and cars are all the new rage, and not just those cock sucking hippie cars. My point is people were not buying gas at all while the price was roaring in the city, now its like filling up at the cocaine pump. That has to be good for this 28% per gallon gay mayor. But I do see Fly’s point, its just if no one is buying the product then you make no tax revenue versus when your selling it like crack and taking a lower cut.

    Mondays light volume sell off was the brainless part… that flushed out the weak longs and emboldened the bears…next week we have an upside down 6 handle on the SPX… gunning for the 970 area… intrady lick up against the 1000 area….”

    All the other life insurers are moving up with HIG. I guess no one bothered to read what they (HIG) said. There P&C business is doing great and helping to make up for the awful life business. They also have an almost 50/50 split between life and P&C. I just shorted LNC (all life) on this insane 40% move up.

    Just bot more FAZ & FXP, both at 44.

    What??

    Anton, my friend…

    Do me a huge favor. Get your hands on a 90 day $SPX cabdle chart and set it to 15 minute bars.

    Now, draw a line starting on the 9/19 high that the Dawg is always talking about.

    Draw that line downwards through the following high points on these days –

    9/25

    9/26

    11/04

    11/28 (doesn’t actually make it there but it tried)

    12/04 (same as 11/28, almost)

    and keep stretching it down through today and into the future.

    Now, look at where today’s candle ends. Notice anything?

    Donny,

    You’ve been right a hell of a lot more than I have, but I’m pretty sure FAZ is cursed or haunted or some shit like that. That said, I bought quite a bit more at 44.

    Danny… the problem has been state regulated capital requirements and most of their problems has been a result of the annuity business linked to equity valuations that obviously weren’t properly hedged/insured. Most have raised additional capital now and have or are taking measures to hedge existing risk to the markets. This news is what really added fuel to the fire:

    Re: MFC, they are Canadian based but own Boston based John Hancock … I think that is why they have has a tendency to lag behind the U S based insurers but I could be wrong.

    I know the market is rigged by the government, however, they are going to push this fake shit too far one day. Anyway, you now know why I don’t day trade. Too much manipulation on the daily charts and too much range intraday without breaking the long term trend for the government to fuck with to fill the central bank’s coffers with day trader money. Still SHORT from 9/19 and holding until my intermediate target of S&P 580 – 650. Nothing the wizard can do about that without being exposed. Besides, the central banks will be position SHORT to take another chunk of “all is well” 401K money by then. Have a great weekend!
    Off for some VIPER and bouncing 34D fun.

    In a bull or even generally sideways market I’d love today’s action. But that’s not the case.

    I personally think this about sums things up, and in a violent “Fly” kind of way:

    Jake,
    can you draw the same line on SPY (instead of SPX)? Just for the heck of it.

    We closed above the downtrending channel once already, yet came down again. What makes you think this is it – the bottom?
