Bulls Car Jacked in Afternoon Trading

Once again, the motherfuckers from the Fed and Treasury are clown raping the market. To make matters worse, I have a net long book now, into the teeth of a steroid induced collapse.

All of our leaders are ball-less. One way or another, the market will be worth less than a package of napkins, inside of 6 months.

BEHOLD: I have long positions.

Once again, in true circus master form, I might be forced to trim down some of my longs and add to shorts.

Why?

Well, for one, it makes little sense to ride these bastards down. And two, I need to lower the volume on the volatility.

The market is always out to kill me. If I were to get all emo and shit, holding positions just because I thought they were cool, I would have been wiped out a long time ago. Without a doubt, the time to sell short KIM, MAC, ESS, FRT and SLG was yesterday. By chasing them lower now, after the fact, would be utterly fucktarded and plain ol’ vanilla gay.

My goal here is to not get net short and make a gazillion bucks. Instead, I will calm the fuck down, raise some cash, hedge up a little, then go eat a few sandwiches.

After all, every time we get these sharp moves lower, miraculously, the market seems to go up, shortly thereafter.

    The FLY got long so that he could give back some of his year to date gains in order to better compete with you mentally impaired folk. He didn’t want you guys feeling too bad about your negative YTD performance.

    yesman, who the hell are you- that you knew the mind of Timmay before he spoke?

    The propaganda news for days had been leaking what was going to be said today…again people ‘ bought’ on the news.

    The news MOVES MARKETS, not charts. Charts move a market when the market is BORED.

    If Timmay had come out with a clear path and some solutions to the bad assets the market would have either stayed where it was or rallied a bit. Instead he came out and said virtually NOTHING and that nothing…didnt inspire confidence and in fact made matters worse so the market sold off…for the day.

    It did NOT crash much to Devildog’s dismay. The market was overbought but news moves the market these days…the news was not good, so the market replied.

    You dont know what is going to happen till they open their mouth…as talking heads are just spreading rumors and ideas and not the real facts.

    This is a difficult market, the best solution is to hedge both sides equally and not get too extended one side or the other.

    The Fly is not god, he calls a good day here and there, he gets shoved down his own funnel fairly often as well.

    Preservation of capital is the name of the game, profit is gravy in this market.

    No one has been here before- our government jumping in every so many weeks and messin’ things up really doesn’t help.

    Blame games, quagmires, hit and miss, you do your best and hopefully you come out alive and with your capital intact.

    I know Fly loves to brag when he is right, but he also admits when he is wrong and that makes him ‘a good guy’ in my book.

    it wasn’t the geitner speech, people.

    chatter out there are talking about yesterday’s CNBC interview with Roubini and Taleb, their interview has turned “meme” (in part because of a show of how stupid the fucktards at CNBC are). market started dropping before geitner, he just confirmed the meme of the day (formed the day before) that was still being digested.

    fear of nationalization, reduction of the debt markets, and all-around shittiness.

    By the way: The PPT is showing a 2.19 score, representing the lowest score ever recorded.

    Everytime it gets around these low levels, the market bottoms.

    Indian – I usually only say what type of positions I have/will take down rather than tell others what to buy. However, when I do see a strong position I’ll post it several times. I pointed out a SOLR rally in early January that netted big gains.

    Theres a difference between being afraid and being concerned. CAP will be afraid when his down down down fails to reach his target and he hadn’t taken profits when he should and the market his melting up.

    I already took profits on the majority of my longs and will now average down here and begin buying into weakness. While I’m concerned about the market being down big today
    Im doing well enough from taking gains when I could and will buy this pullback to set me up to sell CAP’s dick sucking panic.

    Wow interesting interview with Roubini and Taleb. I was at the doctors during that time and missed it. Thanks for the link.

    Scary stuff! How do you get rid of everyone in government and everyone running the banks? Roubini is just one guy.

    People are going to have to get frantically angry and off their butts before change takes place.

    More deleveraging they say for 4-5 more years…..SHESSH!

    I’ve got to hand it to the Fly – you are one HONEST prick.

    This whole country is full of limp-dicked mama’s boys with high, squeaky voices raised by divorced mom’s – never learned how to man up. Taxcheat Timmy, Bernanke, Paulson, Bush, Obama, all cut from the same gay CLOTH.

    (AND WOULD YOU FUCKING RETARDS LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLOTH & CLOTHES – THEY ARE DIFFERENT FUCKING WORDS YOU MORONS – YOU DON’T WEAR CLOTHS YOU IMBECILES)

    The Fly man’s up and admits he fucked the pooch – big props for that – if our elected officials had one tenth the integrity, we’d be bottoming now and heading back up – instead we’re on the expressway to Hell and God only knows where the bottom is.

    I should add, I don’t know where we are headed – I am pretty short right now – but I have found it very interesting we have only spent a few measely hours under ES 800 and it sure strikes me that in order to set a true temporary bottom, we really need a retest of that 740 area and we have spent ZERO FUCKING time anywhere near that level since late December. We are almost halfway between 740 bottom and 940 temp top – but this doesn’t strike me as a big point to bounce up from – especially after today’s big NothingBurger clusterfuck.

    But what do I know.
