Let the Crack Be Your Guide

I am making too much money to waste time talking to you miscreants. My time, mind you, is better served developing orbital space cannons that can be used to vaporize my enemies. This week marked an epic decline in volatility, as investors said “fuck you, you’re dead” to short sellers, and bought stocks as if it was 1999.

Check this out: I am driving in a car without brakes, foot firmly pressed down on the gas— heading for a cliff— fully intending to make it over to the other side.

With regards to WNR, it tracks tightly to crack spreads. Hence, let the crack be your messiah.

Be well or fuck off, makes no difference to me.

    Really? If the opposition gets in as a coalition, they will increase deficits and taxes dramatically, with huge outflows to each of their silly liberty-stomping pet-projects. Rediculous. The cost of oil and gas production will rise with increased corporate taxes, and the States will get burned too through higher energy costs.

    This scenario is daffy-duck silly.

      Harper is the worst thing ever to happen to Canada.

      Look at the USA, the states (and the feds) are technically bankrupt. All the right wingers do is borrow, borrow, and borrow some more, and then spend it on stupid useless shit like more fucking jets and aircraft carriers. Your kids are going to be paying for that crap 20 times over, and look, it doesn’t even protect you.

      Even though 1 out of 100 men are in jail, you still have the highest violent crime rate in the world, and you are paying fortunes supporting all those criminals. Hmm, I guess that didn’t work either.

      And old Mr. “Borrow and Spend” Harper wants to do the same thing here??? Unfuckingbelievafuckingble.

      Anyways, if he loses he can probably get a job in Egypt. I hear they are looking for a new dictator.

      Apologies for the rant. On the investment front, watch the polls. If the Cons look like they are winning, buy jail and jet makers. If the Liberals are moving up, sell them.

      Yes. Causation is positively correlated with chart action.

      It’s a fucked up company with great product.
      management can’t get their shit straight. I deal with them on a daily basis. Always $ short, 6 months late….

      Can’t deny someone at Goldman is liking them recently. That jump to $5.00 surely is unwarranted.

          Dan..China Mobile selected Alcatel-Lucent to participate in the TD-LTE trial network deployment in China. TD-LTE vs FD-LTE is a system that China Mobile created and that they are testing. TD-LTE uses one radio channel to both transmit and receive data, vs two.It appears that Wifi can support TD-LTE if the trials work out.

            And my take, cuz I am looking for the China Market to take a hit soon as it slows and Copper continues to trend down…I would not be a buyer. But I am a Bear so of course I would say that.. But if you must, market should be biased to the upside for about 10 more days so you can play it long for a quicky.

    If WNR breaks $20 maybe they can rename that building” WNR Hall” instead of “Harry Baals Hall”? What do you all think?

    Two Questions Fly. Why are insiders selling so many shares of WNR. And when did Citadel pick up their 3+%.

      People sell stock all the time. Maybe he owned some BORN and needed to cover a margin call. Who knows?

      I can tell you this, out of all the refineries, WNR is the most under owned. With over 7 bill in annual sales and just 35% of shares owned by institutions, with 25% of shares sold short, a PERFECT squeeze awaits.

      What amazes me is Japanese nuke situation out of control MORE every day;
      (rebuild cost estimated $309 bill); a third Mideast war started, a fourth on the way;
      Libya no safer; Portugal going bust, lousy April USA stock earnings coming up soon;
      mediocre stock volume on the rally; S&P still BELOW its high; rounded tops in
      about every stock (a la summer 2008); Vix at a near record low. EVERY fuckin’
      TV pundit saying “BUY BUY BUY!”

      As the fuckin’ rigged market keeps rising (on distribution). Put on you life jackets.
      Six-month and 1-year puts are CHEAP.

        Also, China is saying that they found radiation on a Merchant Ship plus its crew. Japan is a export country which may find no one interested in their stuff. The Japanese Story has some ripples that no one is even starting to think about. But Bottomline, Its that Darn Ben B Put in the market that is doing all of this, Maybe finally the other fed heads will put the leash on him and stop QE ing in June….we will see…on Friday they were sounding a lot more hawkish..a good NFP this Friday may finally do it?

    Love the crack spread play – with you on WNR and VLO. Many thanks for sharing. Love to get your read on what happens to it, and the stocks, if/when another shoe drops in sand land. Looking at USO, UGA, and UHN on a percent change chart since October 2010 (120 min) it appears as though all three are double topping. I know that this may elicit a chart chomper response, but my point is that it appears a critical period is upon us:

    1. Crude rockets (via middle east mayhem) and spread narrows
    2. Refiners crack the shit out of crude for shits-n-giggles (as well as profits) and flood the market with gas/oil and spread narrows
    3. Heating oil and gas continue to rocket higher relative to crude and spread widens

    Why does #3 happen, esp given the monster move they have had since September?

    I’m with you, and do appreciate the bone, but am curious of your thought here. Is it just a short term momo play and nothing more for you?

    Many thanks.

    One major crack is Brent/wti spread.
    Guess who has land locked refineries, access to WTI at Cushings?

    Yep, WNR

    If the middle east blows up, Brent will runaway from WTI. That s my bet
