Bank Shorts Step into Murderhole

FAZ and FAS are on the verge of swapping places. I’ve been warning you fuckers of such happenings for the better part of 2 whole days. To be honest, not having skin in the game sort of disconnects me from the reality of trading. I’m like some remote control General, 10,000 miles away from the battlefield.

Quit your fucking bellyaching. A. I don’t need the money. B. Whenever I choose to step back into the market, I will own it.

So, pretty much, I am here to throw meatloaf at you fuckers, who are long or short this market.

The declines in SKF, FAZ, SRS and EEV are absolutely hilariously horrid. Do yourself a favor, keep your exposure to those bastards minimal, especially when counter trend trading.

For the record, I think the Federal Reserve’s plan to buy $1trill + in treasuries is a ponzi scheme. It is the Godfather of all ponzi schemes, purposely crafted to manipulate the market, via setting rates. It is NOT the way capitalism works. As a result of their fuckery, I predict the corporate bond market will suffer mightily. And, I believe TLT will go to new highs.

    What a fucking incredible day for Don Juan! Thanks you stupid fucking PermaBears.

    I’m gonna celebrate with an expensive bottle of fine wine, and dip in the spa with the missis.

    And one more point, guess what FuckFaces, this rally ain’t over. We’re just getting started, so get your heads out of the gutter, and prepare for the next move UP.

    Off to the wine store … ta-ta, Fuckers!

    BTW, I’m thinking about trading my 335i, for a new M3 convertible. Of course I’ll stay in the Bavarian class. It’ll be a cash deal, cause I don’t finance. Understand?

    Take a look at the BMW 650 convertible. I have one those. They aren’t bad.

    They had a prestige car auction hereof all the repossessions of prestige cars.

    New ferraris cost 750G here in aussi dollars. 6 months old ferraris gone for 420G.

    Owned both FAS /FAZ until today. They (collectively) could quite possibly be the antichrist. Sold FAS at 6.40- just before it went over $7 an hour later. Made small coinage -just @ 1. The beating I’m taking on FAZ (@54) is like watching your own arm being chewed off slowly for days by hungover vampire leprechauns . I will hold until I’ve bled just enough to drink my own blood to go the distance back up to $54 -then I’m NEVER touching that shit again. Word

    The federal reserve system itself is the ultimate ponzi scheme. The entire process is designed to remove wealth from US citizens via government borrowing. The dollar only represents debt when you are 30 trillion in the hole. If we were to actually pay it off right now via those who actually have something to give, most of you would be living in carboard boxes under a viaduct with a bottle of Wild Irish Rose standing over a burn barrell bragging about how you USED to have money.

    …And, I believe TLT will go to new highs.

    Because, gosh knows, there’s nothing like getting paid near-zero interest in increasingly worthless dollars.

    TLT went up today because chop shoppers are trying to get in front of the Fed’s massive purchase of worthless Fan&Fred paper. Soon that move will be overwhelmed by the flood out of US crap wiping specie.

    I think the theory is that corporates will be sold so people can use the proceeds to pile into the stuff that they know the FED is going to buy from them at higher prices.

    Why take real credit risk with corporates when you can front run a $1 trillion buyer who just yelled through a megaphone and told the world exactly what he’s planning to buy.

    Artist — for some reason I can’t copy your question. I think it’s because it’s got one of those bullshit pop up ads embedded in it.

    My answer — “no.” If GM declares bankruptcy (which they’ve been telegraphing, if you’ve noticed) it will be in “pre-pack” form, and the market will either ignore it, or rally on the news.

    With the Fed buying up treasuries and our gov’t issuing record amounts of treasuries, we have ourselves a good ol’ fashioned ponzi scheme. And, it becomes the only game in town. Bond managers will front run the gov’t all the way to the bank, ignoring the corporate bond market.

    Let it be known, the Fed is responding the the deflationary vortex. It is as bearish as bearish can get.

    Just my opinion.

    Why don’t they just trade it internally and cross the trade. Or perhaps let Goldman cross it for them… for a small fee of $1 billion dollars per trade. Hey, Goldy’s has earned money doing lesser things like ummm AIG.

    The other reason I’m very bullish banks is after the heat they got from AIG the last thing they would do is nationalize anything. They won’t nationalize a freaking public toilet let alone citi. Imagine if they lost $2 million on a loan to Malawi in butt fuck Africa. Main street has no problem losing 160 billion on AIG but lose 2 million on an African loan and Geithner will be pitchforked to death by Main street. nationalization is well and truly off the table Citi would be 100 times more complex than AIG.

    The Fly is exactly right. Madoff was paying his investors off with their own IOU’s. That is exactly what the Fed is doing. If you think that every country is going to follow suit, then you’re the same ass who thought the world would follow us into Iraq to blow 3 trillion on a two bit dictator and the same ass that thinks the world will follow us into Afghanistan to drop another couple of trillion on a stone age population. I can assure you other countries are starting to make other plans, even if those plans take 20 years to work. Obama was a head fake. They believed in him for a short while. To watch Jim Cramer salivate had to be one of the most repulsive sights known to man other than taking a peek up Zach Karabell’s skirt.

    DGP all year long.

    I’m suspicious that there might be a bigger head on this oil price rally than most people expect (thanks to the Saudi’s). Thus I’ll be waiting to get DUG under $20 for right or wrong.

    Saudi Arabia is out-doing their promises in terms of production cuts. Venezueala is the only OPEC nation cheating like crazy, but Saudi is even out-cutting them. The Saudi’s have critical problems with many of their large fields (water coning primarily) and are taking advantage of this opportunity to shut in production so that oil water interfaces stabilize some in their huge-permeability reservoirs. If they keep production trimmed down over the next month or two, prices will continue up over $50/bbl. Then it’s time to short hard (for about 3-6 months), then buy into oil stocks like they’re 1950’s superman comics at a garage sale this October or so.

    J, don’t mind Prof. He’s caught in that hippy era “Amerika is evul” mindset that can’t contemplate that we’re only pikers (thus far) in the socialist game.

    The rigged game in Europe and Japan makes our recent machinations look like pre-school. The commensurate demographic problems those states also face make their situation even more nightmarish.

    “Follow us?” No, Prof, they will precede us, into the murder hole.

    One hopes we can learn from their experience. In the mean time, get real assets while the wheel stil spins.

    Sometimes I think we are involved in the move up on the head portion of a reverse head and shoulders. If that’s true, we will continue up a little more, then progressively move downward, but not go as low as before, then start a steady move upward after the reverse head and shoulders is complete. Naturally, I can’t say for certain, but it has been on my mind for the last few weeks.

    The other notion that this is a flash in the pan with a more severe downtrend coming just doesn’t seem reasonable.

    I don’t drive a 500G car you nimrod. A Beamer 650 doesn’t cost that much.

    If you bothered reading what I wrote I said there was an auction, which i didn’t attend that was reported in the press, you nimbus.

    I was simply making light of the fact that a Ferrari dropped from 750K to 420K in 6 months as a result of the crisis.

    Here’s the auction:

    http://media.theaustralian.com.au/multimedia/2009/03/17-cars/index.html

    And If I want to buy one of those fucking cars I will and it’s not arrogance, people sometimes like driving a great car like that for themselves.

    Beamers are for Dannys … Get an Audi A4 or A6 for a classy, sporty yet roomy luxury car without going over the top. Anything too exotic may get you Maladoff [sic] cock-tailed or paintbald [sic] with the coming civil unrest. Something AIG should be witnessing soon enough with all their office buildings around the globe.

    Re GM: No BW filing anticipated. The gov is prepared if necessary to do it behind closed doors if they can’t save themselves but … they turned down additional funding and the tell tale is their going forward with the introduction of the Camaro, something they wouldn’t be doing if they were in desperate shape.

    Re Gold: Yeah, today’s fed action reaffirms the re-inflation methodology but come on, no way we inflate over night … still gunna take months and there are still rumors of the IMF selling gold to fund their ops as Uncle Sam is late with their deposit. Of course the U S congress would have to approve of their selling any of the 104 million ounces of gold the IMF owns.
