Leveraged Danger

Okay, we took some pretty significant market hits this week; but it may be just the beginning. While it’s true, the markets are deeply oversold here, if the underlying economic factors materialize the way I think they will, we have thousands of points left on the downside. Nonetheless, in the short term, I am positioning for a bounce, by selling the balance of my [[VXX]] position at the open, including the entirety of my personal accounts.

From a pure mechanical standpoint, the market is in dangers of falling victim to forced liquidation type sell off, thanks to the fact that so many hedge funds got caught leaning long. Prior to this dip, every jackass with a series 65 was long commodity stocks, in size. Well, for the most part, commodity related stocks are down anywhere between 10-40%, over the past 2 weeks. This means, without a doubt, margin liquidations and hedge fund failures are to be expected.

If so, and you can count on it, stocks like Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. [[FCX]] , United States Steel Corporation [[X]] and Bucyrus International, Inc. [[BUCY]] , just to name a few, may drop to levels you didn’t think was possible.

So, before going John Rambo, bow and arrow crazy, into this market, consider the fact that men with tiny brains and big assets are about to get flushed the fuck out, effectively rendering your bullshit charts meaningless.

On the flip side, if all of that shit doesn’t materialize, we’re due for a nice bounce. I will be a net seller into said bounce.

    “may drop to levels you didn’t think was possible.” should read “will be on blue light special for a limited time only”

    This is getting very ugly very very quickly. I wonder if there isn’t some as yet unannounced shit about to go down. Like Germany leaving the Euro. Or Greece just saying fuck it.

    We’ll see.

    I will be interested to see your exit strategy on FTK… You can’t sell all of your shares at once obviously because it’s so thin, and if you announce you are selling some on your blog, price may tank because so many people followed you in. My guess is we’ll see a note at the bottom of one of your posts saying you are entirely out of it and have been selling for the previous 2 weeks.

    Fly, why do you ALWAYS hedge with a CYA “on the other hand”? Not becoming of somebody with big balls. You never see ME hedging – like when I shorted gold at $1248.

      He hedges? He sure did hedge, you moron, with a slab of vix which he told everyone about while he was building the position.

      Who gives a shit what you shorted? Seriously.
