The Important Matter of Mr. Doodles

Mr. Doodles was enjoying a generous serving of saltine crackers, cheddar cheese and a tall glass of water, at his dining room table, when his furnace rudely exploded. Quickly, he finished the plate of saltines, grabbed the cheese knife and glass of water, then raced over to the furnace, which had caught fire from the explosion. Thinking fast, Mr. Doodles threw his glass of water at the blaze, put his cheese knife on top of the flaming furnace, then waited for results.

Unfortunately, it had no effect.

Still quick on his toes, Mr. Doodles raced upstairs to get a fire extinguisher, that he kept neatly tucked away in the attic. Before grabbing the fire extinguisher, he went to his computer and checked on some emails, in a rushed fashion of course, for he was expecting some sort of very important reply. Cognizant of the task at hand, Mr. Doodles grabbed the fire extinguisher and hurried downstairs to fight the blaze.

When he got there, much to his chagrin, half of the furnace room was set ablaze and spreading fast to the living room. In valorous fashion, at the top of his lungs, he yelled at the blaze, saying: “Who art thou approaching my plasma television? I shall slay thee with this vat of foam!”

Before he uttered another word, the telephone in the dining room rang out. Quickly, he dropped the fire extinguisher and raced for the phone. He chatted away for about 5 minutes, while chewing on some saltines. Then he excused himself, exclaiming: “I art thou a fucking blaze to extinguish.”

By now, the blaze had spread to his living room and was about to devour his prized plasma television and silly DVD collection.

Mr. Doodles, with the firmness of a penis under the influence of 10 viagra pills, picked up the fire extinguisher and shouted out: “Thou art as good as a cadaver, old blaze. I shall slay you where you stand.” However, at that very moment, Mr. Doodles felt like smoking a cigarette.

Hurried, Mr. Doodles took out a Pall Mall cigarette and used the adjacent blaze to light it. Frantically and furiously, he puffed away at his cigarette, while watching and cursing the wretched blaze, as it spread from room to room, ripping through all of Mr. Doodles’ prized possessions, including his silly DVD collection.

Finally, he finished the much needed cigarette, and said to the blaze: “Motherfucker, I shall blow thee to the cliff and laugh at your burial. Prepare for death!”

With grit and determination, Mr. Doodles picked up the fire extinguisher and began to douse the stubborn inferno, with great zeal. Elated in triumph, Mr. Doodles sang songs of victory, as he put down the conflagration; when all of a sudden, a secondary explosion occurred in the furnace room, sending his cheese knife whizzing to his person, conclusively cutting off his cock.

    I have that gross discusting feeling that you get when youre walking out of a strip joint, full nude of course, at 3am on a Tuesday night.

    The only thing you want to do, after banging the two stripoers back at your place, is kick them out and take a fucking shower.

    Good Times.

    The market will cornhole the most participants it possibly can at THE most opportune/inopportune time at will (not your will I might add).

    Mama’s for Obama/Gays for Geitner/ is too smart/stupid to know this and therefore will not know what the fuck hit them and why but they will use it to their advantage.

    Be warned that when the Economist shitsticks like Roubini and Rosenberg err so terribly to the downside that your entire balls and penis are completely ripped off your body you will know it is the bottom (at least intermediately).

    I noticed that too but, since LadyG was all about SeƱor Tropicana’s picks and doesn’t deign to consort with the rest of us – I don’t mind much either.

    There are two kinds of readers on this site:
    1. Those that only care about the picks so they can make money without thinking
    2. The rest of us that actually care about the discussions, debates, general jibber jabber as well as the picks.

    I for one, don’t intend to become bitter if it becomes a two tiered site.

    I hereby nominate Fly for Pulitzer for this post.
    Brilliant work.

    Not that it matters much but my browser is set to refresh this site every 30 seconds (minimum 2880 hits per day) and its open on at least one of my computers at all times. Great hitcounts though Fly, congrats! I have watched this site grow over the past years from a posting of IM conversations to a full blown financial site, thats progress,

    Anyway in other news, as I previously reported I am heavily in DXO since 2.08 and have been for some time now buying it down to 1.78. It looks to me like world tensions are becoming very very strained and oil is set to explode. We have Iran, China, North Korea, Venezuela and all the other worthless piece of shit Arab countries all piling in and bashing everything and everyone. I think we could have a world war 3 on our hands or at least some bad conflict that will explode DXO higher. Watch for it.

    I have been wondering where Boca has been. I miss reading her posts. Had a calming effect.

    I have been buying up DXO, too. Not with glea in my heart though, more out of fear, like what you just posted Gapping, I wonder if people can’t bear to read all this seriously bad and scary news.

    I make myself keep reading here because I refuse to give up what I set out to do, which was to learn how to make money at this, but some days I close my computer down with a stomach ache.

    BTW, Jake that was a really cute vid of the brave little three year old. OMG, was she ever cute. Thanks for that.

    Obama, Mr. Doodles, should have watched “A Christmas Story.” Oddly, once his “furnace” is fixed the feral miscreant dogs will run wild through his house and consume the prized hams. Choose your analogy accordingly.

    CNBC’s analogy would most likely be, “Smart money on the sidelines Chinese factory workers pilage the southern United States for their obese housewives. Buy stocks!”

    Fly posted the site meter in response. I don’t always agree with him but that’s worthy of respect.

    Weekly average was ~81k before PPT. (based on Dec-Feb)

    Hey folks,

    First post here from Rio de Janeiro.

    Fly, as always, brilliant post!

    As for my portfolio, I continue to hold those shorts. I covered half my NTRS last week at $50 and will hold the remaining 1000 shares to $40.

    I covered half my remaining BBBY at $20. The remaining 1,500 shares I will hold to $18.

    I also took off half XOM at $65. I will hold my other 1,500 shares for a move to $60.

    My other shorts (some of which I’ve now held for little over a month and continue to hold full positions on, without having covered a single share because they have not yet hit my targets) include:

    V, GS, AAPL, YHOO, AMZN, CPKI, STC, HOTT

    Full disclosure: YTD performance, 34%
    Full disclosure #2: I’m aware of how oversold we are but don’t see any reason to cover, despite the daily bullshit I know get from Doug Kass and the Fast Money circus crew.

    Good one. Reminds of the time I flooded my dads furniture store with a single orange peel tossed into the latrine. The truth is my orange peel hardly did much. The real damage was done when pop found the small pool of water in the bathroom and floating orange peel. In a burst of rage he pulled the toilet from floor with his bare hands and tossed it down alley breaking it into smaller pieces. The water came flowing forth and many boxes full brass headboards and dinette table tops were soaked and the floor warped still squeaks to this day.

    You let Goldman slip away.

    It was a Goldman operation. Goldman, knowing that the mortgages were toxic, paid off the rating agencies to fraudulently rate CDOs AAA. They then sold the now AAA-rated CDOs to funds and investors. Then, knowing that the CDOs were toxic, went to AIG (their bookie) and bet against the CDOs so that they could pocket the money when they failed.

    The SOTs are cover. The POTUSs are figureheads.

    WTF – Citi had a strong start to 09. LOL. Pandit must be part of the high self-esteem generation where kids who earn Ds and Fs are told they are doing well.

    Pandit the Bandit says that C would be profitable–IF–there were no provisions for losses or other charges applied. LOFL.

    Hopefully the rally sticks anyway.

    I’m with you there Thunderpup. We saw this movie last Tuesday. A rally led by the banks only to be hammered the next few days. This one will be no different.

    I wouldn’t short this rally. I’ve been short this whole time. I shorted WFC from $16 to $8. BAC from $6 to $3, HIG from $16 to $7, JPM from $25 to $17. Making money on the short side was just too fuckin easy. I think things have changed. I think we could have a monster move and a rally till May/June. We could see 25% gains on all the major indices.

    I am looking to get long on any pullback. Seriously people the news is so negative. Everything looks so bad. It feels like the world is ending. If there was ever a time to take a leap of faith and get long, its now.

    Cap weren’t you saying the same thing last Tuesday. That rally lasted one day led by short covering and this one is no different. Shorts have to take profits at some point.

    TMOE- The rally was Wednesday not Tuesday. That rally is the reason I am bullish. That was the first rally attempt and it failed. Failure caused the last of the bulls to capitulate. Right now all financial pundits are calling for Dow 6000 S&P 600 before any rally. Its accepted that the market will reach those levels. Kind of like how it was accepted the Dow would hit 15,000 back in 2007 during the bullish days. Things have taken a 180. Now that everyone is calling for Dow 6000 S&P 600 I don’t think we will get there atleast not this fast. We will have a nice 20-25% rally here till May/June. Atleast thats how I am playing it. Currently 50% cash . I am looking to go long.

    Not a put-all-your-chips in rally. Just enough to sucker in the fools and get the late/recent shorts to cover. Options strike prices playing a small role here also.

    Covered my JPM short on Friday $15.7. Covered my HBC short from $38 yesterday at $24.5.

    Good article http://www.minyanville.com/articles/Bernanke-Credit-fre-fnm-banks-funds/index/a/21504 . If something is done about this, we could see a lot more upside in financials.

    Without capitulation there will less likely be a rally. We had capitulation Nov 20th and 21st, 2008. Pundits proclaiming doom are of less effect due to their consistent appearances.

Rodriguez says he aims to recharge and try to get a broader perspective on the economy and the credit crisis. If invited, he might even consider aiding the U.S. in its management of the crisis.”
