It’s Not Doom and Gloom If It’s Fun

Let’s stop casting aspersions on one another, with regards to the gluttony of others, wanting more downside, hankering for America to be deposited into the shit bag.

While some of my contacts in Texas enjoy ripping you jerkoffs off via expensive Texas Tea, “The Fly” enjoys reciprocating by way of shorting Mr. Ten Gallon Hat’s common stock portfolio. It’s not a secret, I’ve been comically busy, in a slip on a wet banana sort of way, at work, doing what I do. For the record, I am not writing a book, nor would I have the ball-sacks to dare write one, at the tender age of 32. People who write about their lives, while living in their prime years, are fucking idiots and should be shot with high grade tranquilizer guns.

Most of the proletariat are bullish on stocks again, based upon some odd plan that has been regurgitated a half dozen times. The plan, as it stands, is nothing more or less than “cash for trash.”

So, with that in mind, does it not make sense to bet against the men, dressed in purple pinstriped suits, dancing atop of industrial sized satellite dishes? I think so.

“It’s not doom and gloom if it’s fun,” my grandfather used to say (actually, he never said that, but it’s convenient for me to lie). My gut says the market sustains higher levels until May, then quietly fritters away into microscopic dust particles, never to be seen or heard from again, as unbelievable as that may seem (in fact, that is quite unbelievable, indeed). Howsoever, my brain says to bet against the Guy Adami’s and the Pete Najarini’s (however the fuck he spells his name) of the world, via large elephant cocked sell orders. I am talking “crush your neighbors house with medieval sized trebuchets” sized sell orders, the sort that can send your stockbroker packing for India, in search of a higher being.

But, being that I have placed my balls on ice for the moment, I shall endeavor to gradually reenter the market, using small “chick-type” trades to warm up the old street cannon.

First on my list of names to bet against is PACW, then ACC, then HME, then WRI, then MAC, then the entire oil/gas sector. Not to ruin the moment or anything, but I will not be trading for a few more days.

But when I am ready, it will be splendorous. It will be regal. God damn it, it shall be stately!

A Shot out to my boys in Texas!

    From wiki: On occasion, disease-infected corpses were flung into cities in an attempt to infect or terrorize the people under siege—a medieval variant of biological warfare…

    Upon being asked if he was hungry, my grandpa used to say “I haven’t been hungry since 1933.” Everytime, until 2008, when he died in his farmhouse at the age of 95.

    Now his children are trying to find a way to pay the confiscatory taxes on the inheritance, which consists of nothing but the zero debt, unleveraged farm land that he acquired and plowed over his 80 year career.

    Prepare to be hungry.

    Our government need not lob diseased corpses or release biological agents on the population. All they have to do to control the masses is the threat of or act of cutting off everything.

    Cutting off of:

    Interstate transportation – land,sea and air
    Fuel pipelines
    Utilities including water,sewage and electricity

    They control it and they control you.

    Know that the politicians and their families will be safely tucked away deep inside a bunker or clandestine resort if the shit really hits the fan.

    7.62 X 39 ammo has been unavailable for months. People are stocking up because they know government can cut that off too when they feel it necessary.

    As for the market, Obama could give a fuck less. The more you depend on government, the more power they have to control you.

    I see bank tellers unionizing in the near future.

    There’s a bunch of perverted FuckFaces that post in here. Motherfuckers wanting America to die, just so they can make 50 fucking grand. Well I say FUCK YOU motherfucker, Fuck You, and fuck you very much. These Johnny Come Lately’s are too late … most of the damage has already happened.

    With that said; America will not be the same as the past 25 fucking years, but that doesn’t dismiss the fact that we still have the best opportunities in the entire world. America will rise again .. probably with a less valuable currency, and 10 a gallon milk … but make no mistake, we are still great. Great, motherfuckers … Great!

    The paid media will slowly lie for the upcoming few weeks of how great housing is rebounding now (this has already started by the way)…… this will be the next faze of lying fuckery to prop up the market and try to get it as high as it can before people realize they were full of shit and then the drop in the market the next time will not seem as bad….since it will most likely shoot back to dow 9000 and s&p 950ish before people realize nothing has gotten better and 3 more million are out of work, just when the hedge funds get all back in 100%, they will scramble again to dump and get out on the next drop.

    This we can all thank the media and the fuckery news channels like CNBC for.

    To be honest, I had serious reservations about my e-letter to my Congressmen to support the first bailout. I am not a fan of big borrowing at all. It was more an attempt to help avert total collapse of the system. Imagine we had done nothing and you logged into your brokerage account only to see a pop up alert saying “You Sir, are fucked”.

    Hey Look!
    Romania got €20 Billion

    The country of 22 million people on the EU’s eastern frontier is the third member of the bloc to be bailed out after Hungary and Latvia, as world financial turmoil wiped out sources of funding for an economy reliant on foreign cash.

    What is more accurate is to state that the 800lb gorilla in the market is the US debt fire sale by the previous and current administration.

    I again refer to one of the most concise and bleak views of the current global situation from former blogger “LondonBanker” who’s scathing indictments of the US willful destabilization of the global markets is outlined in his Systemic Risk, Contagion and Trade Finance – Back to the Bad Old Days:

    Controlling access to trade finance determines who loses their jobs, whose children go hungry, who riots, which governments fall. Without dedicated focus on the issue of trade finance and liquidity from those in the emerging world most interested in sustaining the growth of recent years, little progress can be expected.Trade finance is rapidly communicating the stress on bank liquidity to the real economy. It presents a systemic risk much more frightening than the collapsing value of bits of paper traded electronically in London and New York. It could collapse the employment, the well being and the political stability of most of the world’s population.

    Put more simply, everyone is rushing to buy US debt and the emerging world is paying the cost.

    Just remember, the rest of the world has longer memories than the US does.

    Here’s an idea.

    The natural resource countries join up and decide to back a super currency with the price their commodities (potash, oil, shiny metals) in a basket of Euro, Yen, and Brazilian Reals.

    Next, the emerging countries decide to join their currencies and back it with combined assets there.

    And let the fiat based economies do what they do best.

    Romania will get 20 billion euros in loans from IMF, others

    NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Romania will receive an international financial support package totaling about 20 billion euros (about $27 billion) to help it cope with its economic crisis. Romania and the International Monetary Fund have reached staff-level agreement on an economic program supported by a 12.95 billion euro (about $17.51 billion) loan under a two-year stand-by arrangement, said Dominique Strauss-Kahn, managing director of the IMF, in a statement on Wednesday. In addition, the European Union is ready to provide a loan of 5 billion euros (about $6.76 billion) and the World Bank has agreed to provide 1 billion euros (about $1.35 billion). The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and other multilateral institutions will provide an additional 1 billion euros (about $1.35 billion).
