In Goldman We Trust

While the bears were inexorably punished today by way of a “Goldman Sachs Slap,” yours truly was busy entertaining men of great substance, who were addled with woefully little etiquette, in a most grotesque NYC neighborhood. I am pleased to report, the stock market has, once again, caught up to my way of thinking. Despite being stuck inside of a Vietnamese curry eatery for most of the day, I was updated often and thoroughly, throughout the entire trading session.

If you are in the camp that believes the market is about to be destroyed, for the second time in so many years, you are dumber than a bag of doorknobs. Truth be told, this new leg up will reinvigorate my people against yours. It is a fact, the machines, operated under the direct supervision of none only Goldman Sachs, are out to kill you and strip your house bare, for the copper piping, of course.

With my money, unafraid, I am leaning entirely to one side, long. Old legacy hedges, such as [[SRS]] and [[FAZ]] , are of no consequence and do not have any relevancy in my portfolios, nor do they belong in yours. Unfortunately, your mind is not as finely tuned as Senor Tropicana’s, via nature and nurture deficiencies. However, you are wise enough to know when the game has been lost.

You stand outside of your office defeated, as dark clouds amass up above, sabre rattling with terrifying thunder and menacing lightning. Just when you thought “The Fly” lost, a win came out of nowhere to humble you, yet again.

    Take-Two reduces guidance for Q3, FY09
    Take-Two Interactive lowered its FY09 outlook to reflect “several factors, most significant of which is the movement of the launch of BioShock 2 from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2010, in order to provide additional development time for the title.” The company expects Q3 EPS (65c)-(75C) vs. consensus of (54c) and sales $120M-$130M vs. consensus of $162.23M. Take Two guides FY09 EPS (80c)-(95c) vs. consensus of 7c and sales $960M-$1B vs. consensus of $1.12B

    Take-Two sees Q4 EPS 30c-40c vs. consensus of $1.15
    Sees Q4 sales $350M-$400M vs. consensus of $471.14M. The company lowered its Q3, Q4 and FY09 guidance due to “the movement of the launch of BioShock 2 from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2010” and “reduced sales of catalog products and lower than anticipated initial retailer orders of new releases.”

    dear fly,
    I don’t visit your wonderful site to keep score on how well you are or are not doing with your interim day and swing trading or calling out the shorts when you’re long or vice versa. Frankly I don’t care one way or the other. It’s fun to hear you take on the challengers with your schtick but your take on the broader themes of the market is why I come..you are very good at “sensing” what’s going on and exposing agendas and the ugly under belly of the markets and the bad boys that play in that space……..an astute talent that I very much appreciate – mrsbuttons

    I sold my short term open August SPY calls into the close today with 23% profit. There could be upside but similar to Fly’s theme of carrying smaller crumbs, am taking quicker profits. However unlike his belief in the start of a new bull rally, I believe that for the intermediate time frame, the chopfest has just started and it is going to get intense. The choppiness could last so long that all the idiots who come here are either gonna get exhausted and cry for your mommies or going to file for bankruptcies. That is the path of maximum frustration and that is what the markets should do.

            The trading day is not over until 8PM where I come from — especially during earnings season.

    “Today’s rally helped to confirm the count we noted over the weekend. This push over SPX 888 looks like Minute wave 2 of Minor wave 3. The first leg down from the SPX 956 high to 889, was retraced by about 61.8%. This next leg down appears to be doing something similar. Downside momentum will resume when the SPX drops below 888 again.”

    (932-869) X .618 = 38.9 > that would get us to about 908 or the resistance level at 912

    Look for and intra-day high tomorrow around 910 followed by a reversal or flat close. Maintaining a sell the rally and add to shorts philosophy except for special situations … to borrow a line from docsparks, “I smell bearshit”

    GS’s main sources of positive surprise earnings come from debt issuance and trading profits (correct me if I am wrong!). It is not the upside but the degree of the upside that could reverse the surge or continue it. We are already used to mammoth surprises from GS on the upside like the off-late legendary trading returns. So as far as the earnings go, isn’t the risk more to the downside than the upside? – Especially given the fact that GS has had a reasonable run up into the earnings?

Then a little up day and he goes ape-shit long again. Sounds like every other CNBC/MarketWatch/Nightly News talking-head which all failed to see the drops and grasps on the up days like their mother’s tit. Oh please take me away PPT!

    for stock market to go lower than prev lows the SP must essentially have 0 or close to it earnings. Which means no-one producing anything and no-one buying anything. Chances of that are very slim. i am sure roofers will stil buy milk and farmers need new roofs, you get my point.

      Zero S&P Earnings can be had by companies in aggregate taking losses more than their earnings if enough bad debt assets implode. People could buy everything and produce everything and the index STILL have net negative earnings. I don’t think we will see that, but your reasons for your assertion are flawed.

      Stick around amongst the honourable gentlemen of iBC, including Mr. “The South will rise again” Woodshedder, and you may learn something and bring some value to your viewer(s?). Or continue with pancake makeup and your Jerry Springer spin-off. Whatever.

    Kneale,

    This battle into which you are engaging yourself is much deeper than some blogger McCarthyism. Bloggers, as represented by Sam the Eagle (Karl), Wood, and Fly, are drawing upon the larger conclusion that CNBC manipulates market information either knowingly or somehow with haphazard and ignorance. The professional and retail money managers/traders on this site watch the market tick by tick and see how short term investors react to breaking news delivered by reporters on CNBC. I think you would do us some benefit to tell us exactly what CNBC says YOU can and cannot say on air, or at least point us to where “on air” talent policy resides. How is information disseminated within the network? Call it media transparency.

    Markets: The bull is loose. Prepare for more squeezing on the short side, epic surges in price, and further “recovery”, though perhaps not as insanely bullish as the last season. I’d buy anything with short-squeeze potential, banks, tech, and start positions in oil/gas names.

    Kneel[sic]: He has no qualifications to be involved in finance, he is only good at being a generally obnoxious, argumentative Irishman. Let him go work at MSNBC, reporting on cool technology with Morning Joe. The CNBC Reports timeslot is so shitty that they’d better have a fucking Carl Quintanilla Spongetech infomercial in its place. Nursing homes want their damn Kudlow, let them have it.
