Black Flag For the Bears

Your faces shall come under assault from egregious shots of grape, derived from my antique 18th century cannon. There will be no quarter given to anyone betting against my positions, especially those who target my degenerate penny stocks. It is in your best interest, mind you, to flee from the battlefield, via cutting your losses, and going home to Mom’s house for a nice plate of lizard stew.

“The Fly” is heavily caffeinated this afternoon, by way of large cups of coffee and small tins of energy soda. Let it be known, I have made it my business to kick old/overzealous men down idle manholes (old men short stocks). For those of you who are above the age of 47 1/2, I strongly advise staying away from urban areas, where manholes are readily found. And, if you were not aware, please never visit iBankCoin again, for you are not welcome.

As for today’s trading:

The underpinnings for a short squeeze are present, with tech and CRE leading the way higher. However, it’s worth noting, those dastardly banks are knifing lower, based upon some silly notion that they need to be solvent, in order to cook their books. Frankly, the whole banking two step dance, being choreographed by the O’government, makes me sick. I want no part of the banks or any other financial related name. My time is best served picking at depressed names, readying to poleax short sellers into muddy gravel pits, like WRES (hat tip CA) or CROX. You must have a large cocks in order to buy CROX (I had to say that).

I sold out of my entire FXP position today— and remain with several low profile inverse etf’s, including, but not limited to, SRS, FAZ and a little EEV. It’s terrifying to think that I am long equities into the teeth of the economic downturn. Common sense dictates to raise cash and hedge my bets. In all fairness to my case, I have been raising cash, over the last week. My buys have been much less than my sells. At the present, my cash position is upwards of 10%.

I am not sure how long this “inventory restocking” trade will last. However, while it’s here, I intend to pick the quickest movers and flick cigar ashes at you piker brokers on Wall Street, trying to be “The Fly.”

NOTE: Scientifically, it is impossible to be “The Fly,” so quit trying.

UPDATE: I bought LVLT, between $1.05-1.07, OVTI @ $9.06, ATHR @ $17.30 and WRES @ $1.72.

UPDATE II: I bought 5,000 [[BRCD]] @ $5.55

    WASHINGTON (AP) – Veteran Republican Sen. Arlen Specter disclosed plans Tuesday to switch parties, a move intended to boost his chances of winning re-election next year that will also push Democrats closer to a 60-vote filibuster-resistant majority.

    “I now find my political philosophy more in line with Democrats than Republicans,” Specter said in a statement posted on a Web site devoted to Pennsylvania politics and confirmed by his office. Several Senate officials said a formal announcement could come later in the day or Wednesday.

    What a complete clown.

    So with that other Minnesota clown likely to win, the Dem(olition) party will have 60 votes.

    Terrific. Way to go America.

    Not sure which was stranger; the blown away chihuahua or the pet psychic.
    I wonder what the rate is for the psychic and why don’t people use them more often instead of tacking all of those lost pet posters on utility poles.

    Pretty good divergence going between Q’s (flat) and IWM (+1%).

    Cash- My lob wedges suck and I would probably take out a window.
    And I have probably 8-10 of the wedges (I get my son’s hand me downs as he gets freebies from Ping and Titleist) and still hit them almost as bad as Charles Barkley.

    DNDN is the ultimate non-penny stock speculation vehicle. Options on it have been absolutely crazy.

    It’s like crack cocaine, but legal.

    I was flip flopping yesterday between going with a long straddle or a more Andy-Swan-like double diagonal on it…did neither, and I’m somewhat glad I stayed away from that heart attack.

    A total crime. Stocks like DNDN should not be allowed to be publicly traded.

    There should be a minimum amount of revenue that all companies should meet, prior to any listing. The nasdaq is too lenient.
