Final Flush

Stocks are being dismantled and tossed into flaming barrels of garbage. Luckily I predicted such a downfall and find myself with over 50% cash and oodles of ZSL and TLT. However, I’m still getting crucified on existing longs like WNR. There is no moral to the story or rational as to why we are selling off. It’s just happening—accept it.

My guess, the rubber band is coiled back, setting up for a reflex rally. If you are short, you might want to reduce that exposure. If you have cash reserves, now is a good time to nibble; but don’t bite. There is always a chance we get lit the fuck up, amidst horrendous news releases and downside surprises. Know the risks and don’t bitch about losses.

I will have you know, “The Fly” is taking his losses like a man. For lack of a better phrase, my cock has been cut off and gobbled by deformed midgets, clad in burlap underwear. I don’t like to see my longs lose value. However, I find solace in knowing my exposure is just 25% of what it was a week ago. My timing could not have been better in that regard. Nevertheless, prepare for a reflex rally, most likely scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.

      uh huh, and how are we supposed to trade that?

      Buy oil because syria will fight back, or short oil because their government is ready to collapse anyway, which would stabilize mideast a bit???

      or, are you suggesting I buy whatever chinese company makes caps lock keys???

    Buying dry shippers for swings DRYS GNK , also picking up some FCX . Close to 70% long swing in portfolio, after going in 50% yesterday (in YHOO AAPL QLD).

    Of course, ill probably regret not just loading up in dry shippers alone.
    BALT DSX GNK DRYS . Those things ALL look ready for 15% rocket ride short squeezes soon.

    why do people ask questions such as “why are they cutting my WNR into pieces…”?

    #1, it’s not YOUR WNR. Your 9 shares do not constitute ownership.

    #2, if you don’t understand why you own a stock, it should be sold as soon as it dissappoints you. Do your own DD & have proper sell rules; daily fluctuations should matter very little as you are either in profit, break even, or within acceptable losses.

    #3 why do you care why its going down. The fact is, it is. You should have your Plan B thought out before the purchase, not after it. See #2.

        i didnt criticize the stock, stupafuck. I criticized the child who was crying b/c it was down.

        I make my own picks. i don’t buy something b/c someone says buy. this business is difficult, it demands hard work and experience. you should go on twitter or something and let some idiot talk up his book so you can nibble on your odd lot bullshit buys.

        it’s not my fault you don’t know how to make money.

        glad we got to talk. go die.

    A Monkey with an Old Silver Cowboy Hat

    On a warm summer’s evenin’ on a train bound for nowhere
    I met up with the gambler, we were both too tired to sleep
    So we took turns a starin’ out the window at the darkness
    ‘Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak

    He said, “Son, I’ve made a life, out of readin’ people’s faces
    And knowin’ what their cards were by the way they held their eyes
    So if you don’t mind my sayin’, I can see you’re out of aces
    For a taste of your whiskey I’ll give you some advice”

    So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow
    Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
    And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression
    Said, “If you’re gonna play the game, boy, you gotta learn to play it right”

    SING ALONG WITH ME!

    I am sitting this market out for the time being. I have flushed a couple of probed longs that I had on a week ago. This chop of a market is aggravating and I’m packing it all in until either the markets starts discounting equities heavily or there is some life put back into my sails.

    I’m contemplating picking up some WNR, but I suspect I’d be a sucker buying now since the market has faked me out for my last 5 trades.

      I’m in the same boat. Won a little on my WNR trades, lost on my core WNR position. Getting knifed in other positions too. It feels like the summer shitbox market is here early. Time to take a break.

        There’s a dearth of long plays out there right now which makes me suspect there isn’t any budging up for the markets in the near term. Seems nobody is buying for any intermediate move and whats left over is a bunch of churn from the daytraders. Sentiment sucks, the tape sucks, just wish I saw this early before needlessly flushing down cash down the drain.

        Oh well, the time will be well spent on cleaning out the cobwebs and taking a break. There ain’t no use in trying to squeeze juice from a turnip.

    Why play games with it and try to time the upswings? The trend is down, deflation is and always has been here since 2006 and it’s time to short every bounce and lighten up a little on the big wooshes.

      Money flowing into financials + Huge short position + News pending + Technicals. Could get a massive squeeze if it gets going, though risk is involved. I still like it like Strauss-Kahn like ass2mouth.

    You’re not alone with hanging tough on WNR. I’m taking my losses that should make my gender proud, as well. QUESTION; Seriously, how low can this go AND when is the time to double my position?

    “There is no moral to the story or rational as to why we are selling off…”

    Preparation for the mass acceptance of QE3. Sell off equities and commodities. Get rid of inflation in the minds of the masses. Then dliute their dollars with QE3 once they have bought into QE3.

    This sell off is to create manufactured consensus.

    $ may have topped …

    The spx 1313 pivot (+/-7) held at 1318 today … The pullback may be over per OEW last night:

    “If the market is forming a flat, it should have concluded at today’s low. If a zigzag, we may get into the OEW 1313 pivot range, (+/- 7) before it completes. If SPX 1371 was an uptrend high, we could count the decline to 1329 as wave A, the rally to 1359 as B, and the current decline from that secondary high as an ongoing C.”

    Mission Accomplished!
