Deja Vu All Over Again

Oh no, the market is shitting the bed again. What-am-I-going-to-do?

Soon enough, the bearshitters will be out in force, racing up and down Wall in their FAZmobiles. As for me, I am full of regrets this morning. I regret selling Aruba Networks, Inc. [[ARUN]] , OmniVision Technologies, Inc. [[OVTI]] , Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [[AMD]] and TriQuint Semiconductor [[TQNT]] too soon. If only, and I mean this sincerely, the market pulled back 10%, I would be able to buy some good companies—at a discount. However, something tells me, that will not occur.

Instead, the market is going to squeeze itself higher, for the duration of 2009. If you are in the business of trading stocks, 2009 should be the year that you clean house. This is the banner year that you will brag to your Grankids about.

With that in mind, stop shorting stocks, you fucking morons.

Many of you are poking your faces in American International Group, Inc. [[AIG]] , going short. Don’t you realize, AIG could print $100 easy—and still be considered “cheap”? We are in the midst of the biggest short squeeze of all time. Brokerage houses are banning inverse ETF’s and the regulators frown upon people who bet against stocks. Due to our fucked status, as a weakened financial super power, the powers that be (they) are giving it the ol’ college try, in a sincere attempt to put us back on top, via MASSIVE reflation.

Getting in the way of that is not bravery, but madness.

On a slow Friday afternoon, I like [[ENTR]] , General Cable Corporation [[BGC]] , Barnes & Noble, Inc. [[BKS]] , Tesoro Corporation [[TSO]] and TerreStar Corporation [[TSTR]] right here, right now.

    Can I ask why are you saying that? Superficially with all the loans on it’s books against it’s assets I would have thought it was “worth” less than zero, no? Are you suggesting its break up value is worth something?

      No one is capable of valuing AIG which is why it really could go anywhere

      Even at $100 with a 20-1 split that makes it only $5 on the old price

    Market is “dead” beacuse everyone in NYC is boarding up their windows in anticipation of Danny. NYSE will close early. LawnGuy Land is doomed. Don’t you watch the weather channel Shorty? Carry on.

    any thoughts on CREE? I think we could be on the front edge of a revolution in lighting and Cree will be a winner. Stock seems to be getttng accumulated slowly and steadily and has been in a break-out. Multiple sources of revenue for them. They raised mid quarter and beat. I recall reading you spent a lot of time on the bloomberg and found great net stocks before the dot com boom started. Have you looked at cree or the LED space at all?

    thanks.

      I’m just a “monkey with a dart board” but I also masquerade as an electronic engineer by day. CREE has great technology, best in class, with a huge IP portfolio. They recently broke into the EU marketplace. That should pave the way for some earnings upside. But don’t listen to me cause “I’m just a monkey with a dartboard”.
