The Hunt For a Red October

Big reversal ensuing, led by stupid stocks.

Crooked men, wearing burlap hoodies and velcro shoes, crawl out of their ancient homes, like zombies, to eat the brains of those who like stocks. “SHAME ON YOU,” yell the Tea Party protester, while selling short [[SPY]] with great vigor.

We have a reversal gentleman and the bears are eating your faces.

“This is it. This is the big one. We shall have a Red October, after all,” they chant from the dark alleyway, sewer pipe scene.

Back on Wall Street, men with jumping jacks in their pockets and lots of caffeine running through their veins laugh, all the while the world crumbles beneath their Bruno Maglis. Truth be told, today’s sell off of 0.9%, while discomforting, is exactly what “The Fly” predicted. None of that matters now, since the planet is tagged with a economic time bomb, not seen since the late super-fun days of the Tulip craze.

Nevertheless, as the carnage commences, I will sit here, chuckling at the birds, while counting my money. I have been selling into strength so that I can buy on dips. Essentially, the market is doing what it should do, drop like a stone—Pearl Harbor style—to the chagrin of the retail nerd.

Good Day

    I think you meant “not seen since the late days…”.

    So is it too late to sell into strength or is there another 5 to 7 % pull back in order?

    Wow! At the start of the day, I was getting calls from my broker about this margin call that I had to meet. I wondered what would happen next. Then Dick Bove saved the day! Thanks Dick! 200 short positions and I have been saved!

    So, that dick, Dick, was responsible? What about Raj? What about the pay Czar? What about the Fly? Don’t they bear some responsiblility too? Stocks really are for retail asshats? Is that what it’s all about Fly?

      The news outlets just need something to say. After all they have to provide a “product” or they don’t get paid.
      It doesn’t matter if the product (news story) is good or bad. As long as there is one. Sad state but the “state of the nation.”

      I don’t think the needle moved because of Bove.

      In the immortal words of Chuck D. Don’t believe the hype.

      The sell at the end was probably a combination of many things..as it always is.

      This just hit the wire and it’s bigger news than bove. Men with Bruno Maglis do not like this.

      Hot slices of pizza will be served to faces shortly.

      you are parsing words. look at the bigger picture, such as exclamations of being a net seller yesterday. And telling you that although the market is climbing, I am not buying.

      You are stupid. That is why you cannot understand my prose.

        Made Man, you and 95% of the others like you on this site need to stop trying to suck Fly’s dick via the Internet. You all sound like fucking fags saying that the Fly Is God, or Fly this or that. Statements like this make you look like a bunch of pussies, which you likely are. Pussies that need to read blogs on how to pick up chicks and what to say to make new friends (thank god Fly got rid of that douche bag, Jason Treu from the blog list, it was ruining the credibility of the site but I digress).

        Overall, I actually like this site and find it very entertaining and valuable but I honestly can’t stand to read another covert “I wish I could suck your dick, Fly” statement in these comments anymore. Stop fucking worshiping this guy just because you can’t fucking invest your own cash for yourself. Just like Fly says again and again, you don’t have a fucking clue and he is talking to people like you Made Man and all the other twats who repeatedly comment “FIG”. Fuck all of you little pussies. I am a man and I can say this to you little fuckers. Stop it, you are embarrassing yourself, not to mention your fat ass mothers.

        Confused actually has a point, some of the Fly’s recent remarks, even taken in context are quite bullish and one dimensional so this post seems a bit ironic all of a sudden now that the market just dipped by a meaningful amount. I of course don’t think Fly Is God or any of that bullshit. I think Fly is smart and frequently makes good calls but no one knows for sure, even with his fucking time machine. Therefore, I don’t give a shit when he is wrong from time to time, fuck, he still might be right should the market rally again in the next few days, which of course, would make him wrong again. Quite the conundrum we have here but who gives a shit; write your own god damn opinion and be willing to change it when the market shows its hand from time to time, just like Mr. Fly is doing. I respect that; no big fucking deal.

        The point is, Made Man and other pussies like you, stop wishing that you could suck Fly’s balls by posting gay-ass comments like this – it makes you look like a fucking homo.

        Good day.

    Teahouse On The Tracks

    Sold the following into the reversal: Raising more cash as Fly suggested … either for dip buying or going short if warranted …. see OEW summary below

    MMR @ $9.17 (13% gain)

    XIDE @ $7.33 (4% gain)

    IPI @ $28.31 (12% gain)

    CRNT @ $10.29 (16% gain)

    Per OEW:

    “It appears that the five waves up from early October and SPX 1020 have completed with today’s high at 1101. This would suggest, barring another extension, that Primary wave B may have concluded. The markets will need to drop to SPX 1050 and NDX 1700 to get a downtrend underway.”

    Time to check your coat at the door … careful boys & girls

    Just to clarify for the mentally impaired:

    I write with sarcasm all the time. Beneath the sarcasm, I am bullish, but a net seller. Meaning, I rather preserve gains here instead of pressing the evelope. I don’t know how many ways I can say it. Net seller, don’t be greedy, etc.

    I will not short, but will raise cash on strength.

    Great post, glad to see there is at most one other person on this site that is willing to think for himself.

    As for all you pussies that sit on your knees waiting for Fly to piss on you, you are pathetic and will never make money depending on someone else’s crumbs.

        You misconstrue. Confused and Howie are just dicksuckers of another flavah (sic).

        They are angry that the dick-sucking is not sophisticated enough.

        And I think Howie wants to “pitch,” if ya know what I’m sayin.

    Oil supply peaking… US will have debt at 80% of GDP over the next 10 years…. Japan may have debt at over 200% GDP by then… more droughts / famines / fresh water lost b/c of global warming…

    Where does a money manager put his money as thing begin to decline over the next 10 years?
