Sidelining It

I am opting out of this market, to an extent, for now. I sold out of some big positions, including APC, PSUN and BZ. I did so, even though I had nice profits in them a short while ago. It’s important to understand yesterday’s profit is gone. You cannot base your decisions based upon the past. That’s like going to the store and offering to buy a can of soda of .65, because that was the price when you were 8.

For now, I kept BORN, OPEN, FORM, FLWS, MAS, ADBE, WFC, TEVA and C. However, the bulk of my energy is building up my WNR position, especially with crack spreads at $25. And, I took a gamble on this PESI. Other than that, I am 30% cash and watching this shit with a bowl of popcorn on my lap, throwing crumbs at the teevee, where all those faggots talk shit.

    Copper continues to slide, so is the spot iron ore price….stupid bubble. Still it has never retested its 10,000 LME high in Feb when EVERYONE and their dog thought China would restock after their return

        Maybe not so much really. They will be repairing mostly, and it’s the NE corner of Japan, not too heavily populated. A huge tragedy of course, but mostly patching together existing infrastructure rather than constructing new.

          Probably true, but I have fun poking at the copper bubble thesis wherever I can. Sorry nymph. Just a compulsion that I find hilarious!

      I was just watching him too. Totally agree with him. Also, notice Shilling indicated that he thought China was going into a hard landing and he recommends a short on Yen. China’s major trading partner is Japan, why should we all think this is so bullish for China…Japan’s Printing money should make our USD stronger.

            What option does he have? Unless the US is ready to cut about 2 trillion out of their spending, it is inevitable. Uncertainty in the world makes QE3 even more certain.

            QE by the Japanese kinda amounts to the same thing. Liquidity is fungible.

            So what will this do to the Japanese currency and indirectly to US export competitiveness?

            Will strenghten the USD if Japan BoJ succeeds. Should weaken our export market. But China IMHO is the bigger story.

    Playing refiners here is clever, but it’s a complex market and a somewhat indirect approach to Japan’s troubles. I like solar better. Got long TSL.

      Japan Space Agency buildings essentially destroyed. They are a key ISS supplier. If SpaceX were publically traded already, I would be balls deep today.

    Today is the day to buy Canadian Uranium juniors. I recommend HAT, FDC and just bought in. They are off 30% because of Japan, but the supply demand for uranium over the next few years has NOT changed.
