Eat the Loss

I’m not thinking about today’s sell off, as I refuse to get sucked into the vortex. Yes, today was an ugly day with broad declines. It’s true the CDS market is going bonkers, clamoring for a euro crisis. It’s also true the Wikileak guy is targeting banks (see BAC). However, and this is a big however, Santa Claus is coming.

You are fucking fooling yourself if you believe the rally is dead. There are loads of people out there spending oodles of coin on meaningless shit. Traders don’t have time to gloom and doom. Believe you me, I will NOT be positioned heavily long into January, as I intend to take profits and position for an early 2011 drop. But this is not the time to bet against Bearded Clams, and things of that nature.

Having said that, I like the seasonality of KBH here, up 19 of 22 years in December for an average return of 9%. Everyone hates the homies; therefore, I endeavor to buy them.

In closing, I lost about 1% today, cutting my year to date gains down to just 46%. In order to punish myself for today’s underperformance, I will dine  at a 2 star Michelin restaurant this evening, instead of 3.

    The Nasdaq was down 1.07%, sounds like you outperformed by 0.07%.

    3rd time we’ve tested ES 1172 to 1174 area on the sandp500 futures. The more we test that area, the stronger that support gets. Considering the euro is below 1.30 again, the ES should be below 1150. The fact that it keeps rejecting a new breakdown means we likely retest volume profile resistance above ES 1190–on wednesday, or thursday.

    VXX up ~7% today. Do you still own a bunch of it, Dr. Fly?

    If you only ate at 3 Michelin star restaurants in NYC, you’d be limited to a choice of four.

    When this NFLX implodes its going to leave a crater the size of Kansas, taking the careers of many an asshole dip buyer with it. I intend to be front row center with a huge fucking tub of popcorn.

    CNBC seems to think that WikiLeak’s bank target is Bank of America.

    I wonder though if it might be JP Morgan’s silver market manipulation.

    The contagion in Europe is spreading….Portugal…..Italy….Spain…..Belgium…Euro to parity with the dollah [sic], eventually.

    This should keep somewhat of a lid on gold prices in dollars, that is, until we eventually have to face the same Fat Lady/Tannheuser/Valkyrie music on our side of the pond.

    That said, I like retail, tech, materials, and industrial stocks going into Christmas.

    euro situation in the US will be unlikely, the two systems are very different, although the US states could experience a cds/bond problem. The fed/ usa gov bailing out california is very different than the Germans/french etc bailing out Ireland.
