Fade the Losers

Fuck it, I booked another round of monstrous VXX gains, as well as FAZ. At the present, my only downside hedge is MET. I might be getting a “little too cute,” with my navigating skills. Nevertheless, I sense panic amidst the CNBC proletariat, best represented by the sheer FUCKERY of their hosts.

Plus anyway, The PPT is flagging OVERSOLD again and it has never been wrong, so far. Of course, all trends were made to be broken and I would not be surprised, nor disappointed, if The PPT mistimed this bottom call. Ultimately, the decision is mine and I choose to time this fucker like a space alien magician, via a large dose of TNA in my personal account.

UPDATE: Into the close, I look like a jackass, with the market vomiting on itself, AND MORE. There is always tomorrow to further dig myself into a fucking murderhole. For the year, I am up about 28%.

NOTE: I did not add to any longs, aside from a personal purchase of TNA. For now, I am comfortable with letting current longs recover, considering my cash position is north of 50%.

      how you win? did you say to buy more vzz and faz? You can’t call it a win if the markets are closed and your position is on. For all you know market gaps up 500 tomorrow then down 1,000 the next day.

        The prez is just talking about a little verbal bet about market action in blog comments from yesterday. Only the fly can brag about market wins here.

    Very bold move senior Fly. Without a doubt, it must take nerves of titanium (and more) to pivot like you do, in this market. One question, if you wanted to be decisively short, which single security would you choose, would it be VXX? Which one would rocket the most from a big washout?

      you sound like a gambling addict, it’s not about the most upside, it’s about selling the best risk/reward and buying the best reward/risk. You can’t win if you don’t manage your money well.

    Thank god for my 25% GLD position and the puts you scared me into last Friday on the rest of my portfolio. Still down about 2% since then but it could be worse. And my losses are pretty much capped now since my puts are all ITM.

    I will look for a panic selloff near 1000 and then will prob try to get a little more long or roll down my puts.

        Hey Jake,

        Do you really think gold and silver will continue their breakout from here? Wishful thinking on my side, I’m way overweighted in gold 🙂

    All that matters is the fact that is went below 2.26. The fact that it is 2.34 now is a moot point

      A key clarification.

      So when it dips below its just a loaded spring? Someone mentioned today that the “oversold” looses meaning as we get further away from it. Any truth to that or someone jsut running their mouth?

      I tried playing Friday’s oversold today and bailed before I got hurt too much. Got back in about when you/Fly did (no guarantees I know) with a fresh shot of 3X around close.

      The premarkets suggests the PPT will be vindicated tomorrow; one must hope!

    EURJPY on fire, up over 0.80% already. S&P made a lower low today; however, Hybrid score failed to do same. Should be fun tomorrow. We shall see if my increase of TYH at close was a wise decision. Right now it appears to be genius, fucking genius – but, we all know what the over night session can bring in the morning. Heat burn, fucking heart burn.

      Ahem. EURJPY is below 110. That is not on fire. The heat you feel is smoldering ashes.

        lol – good point. It was a relative point being made in relation to the close today – a bounce back if you will. That’s all I am looking for.

          I had a EURJPY short position from 111.75 and because of personal wussification issues that I won’t get into, I eliminated my initial targets of 110 and 108.99 in favor of smaller profit taking targets in the 111.00 range.

      agreed. This market could roll around in it’s own oversold waste for a while before it decides to stand up and walk away. Nice Gravatar by the way.

    Watch the Euro in relation to calendar year. It’s a fun game. Right now, we’re trading post-WWII.

    I’m short and plan to cover half at the Black Plague, and the other half around the time of Boethius. (only because that’s my dog’s name).
