Let the Euro Burn!

The EU is in real trouble, as their “austerity plans” come to fruition; I gather, weak countries will determine it was a mistake to forfeit the important tools of monetary policy, in exchange for that big grandiose circle jerk, better known as “the euro.” I am sure Greece would love to monetize their way out of the mess they’re in now. Instead, thanks to the fucking euro, they are beholden to the sausages in Berlin. It’s only a matter of time before the EU is forced to turn their fucking presses on laser, space speed, or the whole fucking parade ends. Should the latter occur, the U.S. dollar, as well as U.S. debt, will be sopped up like cola on a fucking sham-wow.

There’s a reason why I am avoiding stocks, while throwing coin into [[TLT]] .

Today’s tape is more of the same. Low volume melt-up. But, it has the feel of walking through an old haunted house. Any second now, I expect some sort of zombie to pop out from the shadows and take a bite out of my cranium.

In short, [[TLT]] is still my best trade, with a side order of Silicon Storage Technology, Inc. [[SSTI]] , due to the downside protection of an all-cash offer. Around these levels, I am starting to like [[VXX]] too. And, if I wanted to trade 3x bullshit, I’d buy [[DRR]] right here, right now.

    Shit stocks are going buck wild. ZANE, TIVO, RMBS, SCOK, Retailers…. VMI warned in Feb and just bot a UK co. for cash, instant 10% pop. Meanwhile the range on the spy’s for the week excluding mondays gap is $2. How the fuck is the RTH almost at all time highs. Do all you unemployed fuckers spend your days in the malls.

          Do you believe in the January effect too?

          The market is going to tank because the recovery is false, a cover up. The curtains will be pulled and I’ll dance as the palaces burn!!!

            I believe that the returns of stocks are significantly higher in November thru April than May thru October….but it’s probably just a coincidence albeit one that makes one money.

    Fly, why are you going with the long end with TLT and not shorter with IEF or even real short with SHY

      If you position yourself for SHY to go up, then you’re essentially betting short term rates will come in, but they’re already sub 1% last I checked. So you would need that panic mode of negative yield purchasing that we saw 2008 to kick in. TLT, being based on longer term treasuries (20+) have some more wiggle room. A quick check of TYX shows yields at 4.56%

    Western European countries must raise more than half a trillion dollars this year to refinance existing debts and cover their widening budget gaps.

    Will it happen???

    EUO is probably better than DRR. YCS may be a winner in the near future. Tomorrow may offer some buy in points. LQD beats TLT over more than a few days.
