Make Lemonade

Never mind what I am doing. The majority of you out there are low grade gamblers, who NEED to invest daily, in order to get a fix or some emotional high or some shit.

While everyone is all giddy and shit, you might as well get long some ag, banks and tech—no kidding. Providing you will limit the downside on your positions, going long amidst the apocalypse is okay.

Within ag, [[MOS]], [[MON]] and POT look good. Within banks, the U.K. is helping BCS commit fraud, by way of lying about everything. And, within tech, I like small cap crap SPIL, NFLX and NTES.

Your hedge should be short crude, via SCO and short CRE, via SRS or direct sales in ACC and HME.

Back at the deflationary vortex pub, I like TLT, up to $115.

    I am beginning to think this recession is ovah wit. What’s another 700k+ jobs lost, sure its accelerating but who cayahs. Credit? We don’t need no credit. Its all upside from here. Goldman, well they came out smelling like a rose and gave the partners a chance to pick up some shares on the cheap. They also enticed Warren Buffet to promote them. All is well on wall street that is foh show. Mount up and buy 3x upsides!

    consumer desc is the other riser.

    tech -> basic industrial, shit at this rate we should be out of the recession by the middle of next week. but the week after that we will be depressed once again.

    weird day patterns

    Bull Maggs —

    It means “blunderer” — usually with regard to someone on stage in the context of trying to make another laugh or screw up whilst doing their lines or stagecraft.

    It’s been on my mind as I’ve been reading Michael Palin’s “Diaries: the Python Years.”

    He talks about Cleese and he being “corpsers” in their live stage shows quite a bit. Like you, I was curious as to the definition after seeing it a couple of times.

    Well, not a python, I suppose, but a corpser, or a blunderer, if you will.

    …I fear your knowledge of British comedians vastly outpaces mine…

    About Ag. Youse have tried to grow stuff and I suspect your results were plainly pathetic. No chance for food unless the proper amount of pesticide and fertilizer. Go ahead try it without industrial help = failure.

    Bull Magg — I wouldn’t recommend all British comedy per se, but Python is a must if you haven’t indulged.

    I would start with the three major movies, then move on to the original teevee (BBC) series, and then grab the live stage movies (ie, “Live at the Hollywood Bowl,” “Secret Policeman’s Other Ball,” etc, etc.).

    You are in for a huge treat, I promise.

    Jake,

    Thanks for the heads up. I love “The Holy Grail” and I should revisit the others too, I’m sure.

    BM — Grail was their first major film (they actually had one before it that was more a show compilation), but “Life of Brian” is their masterpiece. That’s one you want to see for sure.

    Also “Meaning of Life” while more sketch oriented is also excellent. In fact, we were talking about Mr. Creosote just this morning on Alpha’s blog.

    The lemmings are being told that the “worst” of the recession is over. A few of the numbers come in LESS HORRIBLE than expected and suddenly we’re off to the races. I predict a small economic bounce thanks to the government throwing the kitchen sink at the recession (plus the insane rate at which we fell)…but within a few months people will realize that even though the rate of decline has moderated, our economy is still in the shitter and won’t be roaring back anytime soon.

    Its akin to falling off a cliff, then bouncing off a few jagged rocks on the way down which make you think for a split-second that you’ve hit bottom and are safe. But then the realization hits that you’re still falling and you find that you are indeed STILL FUCKED.
