    apparently you dont realize that those markets pretty much follow our market. notice how ours was up today and futures are relatively flat….. you shall seek carnage in the morning and for a while for bulls.

    The tiny cubs have really been de-balled in Asia.

    It’s awful.

    It’s like watching the baby seal clubbing Canadians do for sport each summer.

    Fly being a long time follower of yours I think I understand you more now. The more posts you do, the more human you become to all of us.

    Yes you are the best when it comes to blogging and outperforming everyone in the market. Right now I think you are reaching, stretching, grasping for the market to go higher.

    You have admitted on your own that you think the market is on thin ice. You are long right now. You are not hedged. So usually you are not biased. Right now you are biased to the long side, even thou the facts look like we have a tiny bit more downside.

    Fly tomarrow we expect to be acknowledged about being correct about being bearish, and for you to commend your loyal followers.

    Oh who am I kidding? You will mock us and take away our manhood and somehow be right in the end even thou you may be absolutely wrong.

    Thanks for the support you Fuckin Pikers.

    On another note. I sold all my XOMA last night after hours between 1.20 and 1.48
    XOMA was a simple case of “Better to be lucky”
    Plain and simple it was another beat up sub dollar biotech play. Fly screened it the day
    some biotech was up 800%. It was on a list of a dozen biotech plays that could explode. I found some weak resistance and thought it could trade up to a $1. The news that drove it however I never could have know about….. Thus “better to be lucky”

    Where to from here?

    Haven’t a clue. I know I’m up 54% YTD and I don’t want to blow it. Other than that,
    anyone got any good Ideas for the day?

    XOMA
    Xoma has entered into a definitive agreement with an institutional investor to sell 11,764,706 units, with each unit consisting of one of the company’s common shares and a warrant to purchase 0.50 of a common share, for gross proceeds of approximately $10M, before deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses, in a “registered direct” offering. The investor has agreed to purchase the units at a purchase price of 85c per unit.

    J, it is baked in for the moment, I’m thinking about this continuing for weeks and months. It has to hit the bottom line and balance sheets for next quarter.

    a compnay can only sit idle with no income for a short while.

    I’m looking out over the rest of this summer with this story. DRYS is up today, but day to day and people jumping in for a short day trade on news they have postponed bankrupty for another day doesn’t bother me.

    NG is interesting on the chart. because there is no logical overhead resistance till $5 – $6 should it blast through $4
    maybe valuation but I don’t know from valuing a gold miner.

    NG is interesting on the chart. because there is no logical overhead resistance till $5 – $6 should it blast through $4
    maybe valuation but I don’t know from valuing a gold miner.

    It’s relatively simple, from a trading standpoint. Think of all miners as leveraged off the price of energy (negatively) and the price of gold/silver/whatever. Then you figure out what capacity and supply look like going forward (for the precious, capex has been woeful, and new supply will be very slow to come on line).

    In the current market, the miners have lagged the POG because of the energy and recession fears. From a strict reversion to the mean standpoint, they are still well underpriced.

    Slightly slower action but I bought a decent chunk of GAIA yesterday around 5.50.

    Anyone get their catalogs? Gaiam anyone?

    While looking for beat up retailers, and thinking about pent up spending that could occur for outdoor home goods/landscaping stuff. I witnessed my wife rifling through and earmarking pages in the recent Gaiam catalog. I checked their chart and I see a beat down retailer with little overhead resistance in the way of volume all the way up $10

    currently @ 5.50

    This guy gets it IMO

    “We’re in a complete mess and the consumer is smart enough to know it,” says Davidowitz, whose firm does consulting for the retail industry. “If the consumer isn’t petrified, he or she is a damn fool.”

    As for all the hullabaloo about the stress tests, he says they were a sham and part of a “con game to get private money to finance these institutions because [Treasury] can’t get more money from Congress. It’s the ‘greater fool’ theory.”

    “We’re now in Barack Obama’s world where money goes into the most inefficient parts of the economy and we’re bailing everyone out,” says Daviowitz, who opposes bailouts for financials and automakers alike. “The bailout money is in the sewer and gone.”

    “Medicinal relaxation” “in the warm moist spring air”? Does that mean you’re going to take a dump in a bush?
    I ask only because you made a point of personally advising me of this and same is similar to your post of a few days ago in which you regaled us with the fact that you were taking some medicinal digestive for constipation.

    To all those who would take up cudgels or socks filled with soap against me in defense of the elderly Fool, please note that I have not been on the boards all day, much less posted anything against the old Fool. But since he wants to play, I will respond, and none of you loser Confederates (gaptooth and nickel cigur) have any right to protest.

    Well, to be fair, the whole cycle was started when the ManGod of the Dems, FDR, took us off the gold standard in the first place… and then barred the private ownership of gold!

    At least Barack hasn’t gotten that jiggy with it, yet.

    But hey, ole FDR probably just barred the private ownership of gold because the Fed has NO PROBLEMO giving back stored gold to whomever wants it back…
