No Balls, No Babies

I’m not into buying FAZ and SRS anymore, like many of you donkey punchers. If I decide to go short, I’ll be damned if I give those horse faces from Direxion another red cent. Fuck them and the queer unicorn they rode in on.

Because of my family emergency, I was only able to “feel the market” for part of the day. I bought some CUZ and eyeballed buying more TWi—but never got motivated enough to buy some.

Aside from that, I am participating in the secondary offering, PL.

Overall, the market has a very nervous tone to it. I am not 100% comfortable being long. But I made my bed and now it’s time to sleep in it.

On a whole, the fundamentals of the market are improving. LIBOR is way down and once thought to be dead companies are finding financing. Do not look at the secondaries as a negative. Sure, some stocks are undergoing significant dilution. But, just two months ago, those same names were marked for dead. In my book, it’s better to have a $10 stock, instead of a big ol’ gay zero.

Eventually, the dilution will stop and demand for higher than zero returns will commence. If your game plan is to time every single inflection point, I guarantee your dumb ass will lose the house, cars, wife and kids, inside of 6 months.

NOTE: The inflation trade continues with gains in ag, specifically MOS, IPI, AGU, POT and TRA.

    Henry Fool was right, his XOMA hit .97 today, he said it would hit 1.00 within 10 days and he said that monday when it was .63 cents.
    it is up 38% today alone closing at .88 cents.

    Henry Fool is no fool. He has a platinum hand, one that would make ‘The Fly’ envious. Almost.

    I followed him in SWHC and SFLY and made a bundle. He backed up ‘The Fly’ on CROX before it had the big runup. Now he has XOMA running up on a down day.

    Henry: well done, sir.

    Fly, not sure why you even bother with FAZ for long term… I think you wrote something before regarding all 3X ETF goes to $0. And I’m sure you know that 3X has “time decay” effect, especially if they are going opposite direction of your intent. I only use FAZ/FAS for like day trade or 2-3 day trade max. But I’m sure you know all these already…

    LOL at XOMA. I bought a tiny position a couple days ago at .71 after Henry’s post, stuck a 15% trailing stop on it, and put it out of my mind. It barely survived yesterday’s bloodbath and then bounced around in the .60’s all morning today. I then went to lunch and came back to find that it had *stopped* out at .82 for a small profit. WTF?! Quite the little pop/drop there in the final 30 mins.

    Now Fly crossed the briny deep
    Steaming with some sexy sheep
    With a ra-dum ra-dum rub-a-dub-dub
    He got there in the lime juice tub

    There’s brand new chums and cockies sons
    They fancy that they are great guns
    They fancy they can ride the bull
    But the traders can only tear and pull

    They want the hedgie’s leverage back
    To make up the volume they sorely lack
    The very next job they undertake
    Is to go long but they make a mistake

    They press the bet with a buying attack
    But they don’t know when the bear’ll be back
    Fake Fly knows the selling pool is deep
    He wishes he could go hump some sheep

    An alternative wave count for your consideration by OEW:

    “We posted this afternoon (Wed) a count on the DOW hourly and daily chart. This suggests that Major waves A and B have already completed, and a five wave Major wave C pattern has been underway. This count would generaly require that wave 1 (at spx 876) is not overlapped by the current wave 4 (at spx 883), which should bottom above DOW 8191 (SPX 876). With the market getting close to these levels today (Wed) and short term positive divergences in place, this count will get tested tomorrow (Thur).”

    http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/Favorites.CServlet?obj=ID1606987

    And today we may have tested and confirmed the new wave count per OEW:

    “The market held short term support at SPX 883 this morning, yesterdays low. As long as the SPX 876 level is not breached, the alternate DOW count is in play.”

    This would mean that we could be in the final leg up to spx 1001 before a retest of the old lows is made. Staying long for now unless 876 is breached.

    Two very important things here:

    First, who called XOMA on this board? I know someone was able to defuse that bomb successfully just forgot who called it, either way fucking congrats, you hit the lotto.

    Second, I am fucking sick of you homos (with offense to homos) bad mouthing the hotness that is Carrie Prejean. This fucking chick is hot as hell. If you are bashing her because she happens to disagree with you then you are a complete hypocrite. Just look at how hot this bitch is:

    I’m not trying to take away from Henry bankin’ hella coin, but you all are mis-attributing LUCK from SKILL.

    Guess what – buying a PENNY BIOTECH stock that goes up 50% isn’t skill, it’s luck.

    Ask the lottery winners about the skill involved with their # picks.

    You’re right theartist, he is a genius, how could I have been so foolish.

    The portfolio I track of anonymous internet guy #7 is up between 65 – 440% today alone. That’s why I am exclusively trading the microcap picks of some guy I’ve never met with a hot hand on a forum.

    I also have a buddy who predicted the great tsunami of 07, which, if you would have read that thread when it occurred, was a very timely prediction.

    Henry, we have to stick together here.

    it blows my mind how some people dis a penny stock that does 12 million shares in a day, and as in today, goes up 155%, that isn’t good enough, but if it was Ford (considered a penny stock) and if it was to go up 155% these very same people would be all over it. cause it’s a “big” company.

    well, in my world, money is money and profits are profits, when you buy 15000 shares of one and it goes up 100% in one day you double your money, if Ford goes up 100%, in one day, you double your money, what to these people is the difference?
    Are they pissed because they didn’t jump in yesterday at .63 cents and sell today at 1.26? perhaps they bought Ford yesterday and are up a whopping 5.6%?

    I don’t know, volume is volume and profit is profit, if these people think there is safety in bellweather stocks like say????? hummmmm GM? or say, hmmmmmm Intel? or say, hmmmmmmm maybe Bank of America? yeh that’s a good solid american company…..(not) well there is no safety in any stock, penny or otherwise…. to me it’s all volume and percentage. I don’t care what the symbol is and I don’t give a shit what they do or make, if it has the potential to go up and make me money, I’m in.

    XOMA was a perfectly timed call.

    that is my last rant on the subject.

    From Bait bucket Bitchez NYT article
    “Investment trusts have poured billions of dollars over the last five years into buying ships and leasing them for a year at a time to shipping lines. As the leases expire and many of these vessels are returned, losses will be heavy at these trusts and the mainly European banks that lent to them,”

    N E one got some European banks I can short. I am short DB and HBC. Any others ? Plus those fuckers lent like a shit load to Eastern Europe. EE is fuct. Perhaps throw on some puts on GUR ?
