ATTENTION BEARSHITTERS: Margin Call at 2pm

I always say: “it’s not a game anymore,” because it isn’t. If I was a 5 year old, I’d take large permanent purple markers and graffiti your face, for being so stupid.

You’re the Donald “Bankruptcy Expert” Trump of this stock game, while I am Ty “steel tips in your chest” Cobb, but with an aluminum bat—not that wood shit. It’s like I’m hitting small rubber balls with a clown sized titanium bat; and you’re running into Wrigley field-esque brick walls trying to catch them.

With the mini melt up this morning, I like FiTB, FNSR and ATHR. Naturally, I am talking my own book.

On dips, I like FTK, TRID and MWA.

Bottom line: dollar down + oil up= fire your phone company, I’ll see you next time. Oh, and I will see you bearshitters later, around 2ish, when your margin clerks start magic jacking out of your positions, effectively throwing gasoline on today’s rally fire.

    According to the BNO news feed https://twitter.com/BreakingNews, SwineFlu is now a pandemic.

    Will that affect today’s trade?
    Could be we need Merlin around 14h00 ET

    Cuervos:

    It’s hit Australia as it’s the winter season. Seriously, there’s nothing to worry about. In fact 400 people have it and no one has died at this stage. In fact it appears the death toll is actually lower than the traditional flu. It’s bogus and nothing to worry about.

    We gotta be careful believing these fucking agencies in terms of how deadly it is as they’re all looking for funding and being dramatic. It’s like the AGW beat up. The science workers become more dramatic to get more funding meanwhile global temps have risen a huge .6 degs over a 100 years. whoope do.

    Let’s not be scared.

    I live in one of the first provinces in Canada that had an “outbreak” and it was no where near as interesting as living in Toronto during the whole SARS outbreak.

    It seemed however to coincide with SPY turning dramatically south after a big break this morning so I thought perhaps there was some news driven pricing going on.

    But, the bots are fighting back.

    I was in Scarborough and was amazed at the disconnect between what was reported nationally and internationally and the day to day life which was unaffected by SARS.

    That being said, the scariest moment was on the bus one day when someone started coughing and didn’t stop for about thirty seconds.

    It was dead silent for the next two stops. Everyone must have been holding their breath.

    It sounds to me like Uncle Ben lied to Congress the other day, if you believe Ken Lewis and some of the e-mails seem to confirm this.
    Remove Uncle Ben and then what happens to his copters for dropping the $$ from the sky.
    Just something to think about.

    It would be really interesting to see if the shareholders could mount a class action against the government on account of the strong arming of BofA.

    If the buying contract wasn’t airtight and the feds put in the heavy word BoA has a case I think -a strong one and it could be worth the entire 45 billion they put in.

    I’m long a little bit of it (UNG). I think there’s a chance it might fall as low as $10, where I’ll pick up more. But here isn’t so bad considering the potential.

    In regards to UNG, I sense that we are bouncing off the bottom here long term. Volume has been spiking over recent weeks, and we reversed off the bottom on last weeks inventory numbers. I am hoping this has legs, but we will see tomorrow. I don’t want to see this move too far too fast. As a matter of fact, I would like to see it stay under $15 today.

    I think we are close to a bottom too…but just comparing it to how USO bottomed makes me think there might be a bit left to fall, if not just to shake out some people who were trying to pick the bottom over the past month. I’m the opposite of you. I’d like to see it clear $15 and hold : )

    Gapping,

    It doesn’t seem to me like there is anything that will derail this route on the dollar. The commodity bubble last year was the straw that broke the economy’s back. This next bubble will break the dollar’s back and end in hyperinflation.

    You are going to need 10% gains in your portfolio simply to keep up with inflation soon enough. The sad thing is that the fed is powerless this time.

    WOWSA, look at UNG run.

    Gappy…it’s fucktardish comments like the one you just made that indicate we are at or very near a top in this bear rally.

    The refi party has dried up 100%…even new and existing home sales are slowing to a crawl with the higher rates. The refi’s contributed to some of the recent “greater wealth effect”…but play is done now. If you are ahead in this tape, you would do yourself a world of good to start taking some hard earned profits off the table. The easy money has been made.

    j: I am long leaning and have been for awhile now especially in commodities, I mean as I look right now I am up 103% on DXO here and just killing it in UNG too. My “bitterness” is that there are so many reason to sell off and we are just ignoring them. To me this means we could come in to a rip your intestines out day which could derail everything. I mean we were in a depression a couple months ago and now we are just rip roaring bull marketing ahead? We have a fucking so called pandemic on our hands and oil is rocketing? We only lost 3/8 of a million jobs last month and we are in the clear? Don’t think so. Bottom line I could give a fuck right now, I am hedged some but net long with career heavy positions in oil and nat gas while short a touch of gasoline. If we finish under 950 today I say we could be fucked but if we hold over it I will be buying in size SSO to hit 1000. Either way my PnL is green today yet again.

    04/20/2009:
    S&P 500: 832.39
    Dow/Gold Ratio: 8.97
    Long Term- Once the hyperinflation gets into severe motion, expect prices of everything to rise substantially (even the stock market; reference: Zimbabwe)

    Like the Zimbabwe stock market, the U.S. will go through the hyper inflationary state of hell. Don’t get caught sleepin’ when the stock market rises past previous all time highs and think its because the governmental bailouts are working. It’s the total opposite.If printing money indefinitely was the solution to a healthier economy, no poverty, no bankruptcies, why hasn’t any of the other countries followed. It will result in the total collapse of the economy. After all the quickest way to kill an economy is to increase its money supply indefinitely, then sit back and watch the fireworks; it’s as simple as that. It is by far the most painful for the unprepared people who have no idea what is to come. The currency is a worthless peace of paper and those same people will come to find out what hyperinflation is the hard way. The ticking time bomb is getting close to exploding and the overwhelming majority of people still have no clue what is going on. As Gerald Celente says, when people losing everything, and have nothing else to lose, they lose it.
