Get in the Vice

Although you clowns want nothing more than to see “The Fly” lose his coin, amidst an egregious short squeeze. However, I have news for you, assholes, it’s not happening.

Sure, I am losing some dough on SRS, DUG, EEV and ERY; howsoever, it’s also worth noting my gains, good Sir, in CHL, FXI, TS, amongst others— is it not?

Look you, I don’t have to prove or justify shit from buckshots to any of you. Just feel solice in knowing, a 45% short, 20% long and 35% cash position (my model coming into today’s trade), no matter how onerous it may be, is not an asset allocation model that can lead to ruin. Do the math yourselves.

Going forward, my focus is to sell short oil stocks, via DUG and ERY. Also, I will hold onto SRS, in the event of a “fuck you, you’re dead” trading day, following BXP‘s earnings.

Finally, I am very comfortable being long the rabid pandas from China, via CHL and FXI. In addition, dumb ass infrastructure plays may see more upside. There, I like TS, MT and BUCY.

In short, it is nearly impossible to navigate this tape. If you got caught short or “malpositioned,” do not feel bad. Try to focus on what’s in front of you, instead of past mistakes.

    “Moreover, the Commitee seeks some risk that inflation could persist for a time BELOW rates that best foster economic growth…”

    That’s a deflation statement right there…

    PS..We have to finish SP500 above 867 which is the 50EMA…Should we finish below that, it would be extremely bearish as it would indicate a failed resistance break…

    UPDATE: BIG MIKES BUYS 5,000 XOM LONG…Going to play a short squeeze since everybody I know is short that stock…

    Got that retouch of $12.05 (and then some) on FAS. Looking to go to $15 from here.

    Hoping you get in for the wedge shot, Fly.

    Watch ITB for a retouch of 9.55, too.

    Yes, that ITB.

    guessing that the rampage out of treasuries will bring the tape down, also, not to sound like a broken record, there are few people short this tape, not sure how much juice is left to buy into it. a stall with treasuries selling down may bring us down a bit. my book is only short and has been for the past five years, so take this with that in mind

    You guys dont understand how Fly operates…hes a Market Bloodhound.

    Market Bloodhounds can track stocks and market moves for days, weeks and months at a time, they are tireless in following the money scent.

    Combining a keen sense of smell for profit, with a tenaciously strong tracking instinct, Market Bloodhounds will hold on, by-pass small profit distractions and eventually track down the biggest profits in the market.

    They also make wonderful pets and are known to hog the entire couch while allowing their admirers to rub their tummies.

    Fly — just heard a Savage quote, sounded like your mentor:

    “I don’t know who’s running anything anymore, but I suspect that idiots are running everything everywhere.”

    He is gold.

    Obama now merely need a blanket statement to Wall Street…
    shorting is UN-American and…woosh…the sheeple investor enters long on his barking orders…

    Of course, a simple phrase like “I GOT THIS” would do the trick I guess…

    VIX was destined to pullback to more “normal” levels (pre-October) but forming a nice hammer set up today so watch it for market pullback trade…

    I just don’t understand what is keeping XOM up? I guess it could be their billions of dollars and the fact that they make money when oil is cheaper. Not to mention oil is at the bottom. Oh well. I just keep shorting it.

    Rally fizzles, BAC made lower high around 7.50, i regret i did not short it at that point. If SPX goes below 861 (867 currently) then it is gonna want to fill the morning gap. Not that i know anything about stocks, just pretending like others…

    Buy FAS and the big banks at all dips. There’s still thousands of idiots that don’t get it, and refuse to accept what is now happening. They will ultimately help us achieve the entire enchilada once they feel more pain.

    Wait until the SEC changes the accounting rules. That’s when the bears get the mega deBalling.

    Do the math, imbecile:

    Say you have 100k. Say you have 45k short. Say of that 45k, 30% of it is in SRS. Say SRS goes down 15% the next day.

    How much do you lose?
