And, Risk Off

TLT is up $1.4. You can’t short into this tape. You can sell; but to buy inverse ETF’s, following a 250 point decline is stupidity on a very high level. We’ve been down this road before and the end result is always the same: more liquidity.

Granted, things look especially ominous due to the prospect of QE ending. However, as sure as I am sitting here, they will inflate. The choice is simple: suffer deflation and staggering stock market losses. Or, you will pay for a $100 tomato. The choice is really that simple, at least in the near term. Long term, no one knows where the money will come from, maybe outerspace?

For the day, I sold out of CENX, EXK and AKS and added to my WNR. No panic, no fear—just space alien magician shit.

Eagerly waiting for The PPT to hit sub 2.6

      I have been in CCJ since the Japan earthquake. So far, so good. I didn’t look at the end of the day, but a few hours earlier, it was one of the few things I was holding that was up.

        Pemex isn’t “a” Mexican company. It is “the” Mexican company. As in, the only one. Owned by the politicians, for the people. Negative outcomes are not impossible.

    Everything about your “they’re going to inflate” thesis is correct. Try as it may but the market will not be able to price in an assumed sure thing until it’s crystal clear to everyone that another QE is the only way to go.

    Cain Thaler is spot on.

    The EEM emerging market sector hasn’t even given back a third of its bounce from last week.

    and, twice as many China FXI buyers as sellers today,according to WSJ money flow scan: http://tinyurl.com/3s77pmz .

    If Greece and Spain panics weren’t able to stop a strong EEM emerging market bounce last summer, why would they be able to stop one here? They led the last summer squeeze and they’ll lead up here. Most people in “Soviet Brazil-chindia” can’t find Greece on a map. And frankly, why should they need to?

    Bangladesh Needs $25 Billion To Tap 14 Tcf Offshore Gas
    Dhaka (Reuters) – Bangladesh will require up to $25 billion in investment to tap an estimated 14 trillion cubic feet of natural gas that is possibly available in the country’s offshore but not yet discovered, a senior official of Australia’s Santos International said Monday.

    “Bangladesh has the potential to find at least 14 tcf gas from its offshore fields,” said John Chambers, president of Santos in Bangladesh. …

    Prediction: Santos drills it, Bangladesh subsides by 1 meter or more, and climate change is blamed for the millions that die during the next hurricane.

    55% of negative distribution (adjusted for volume and market cap) of stocks I am screening occurred in Basic Materials and Service sector. Money is flowing out of the sector, not in.

    30% of all negative distribution came out of basic materials. Money is leaving Energy.

    The sample size is strictly from my stock list and may not be indicative of the entire market. However it is making me stay away from the entire sector. When the hot sector goes decidedly cold, you need to watch your step with great care. Fear has not hit the markets yet and buying any dip is a dubious venture at best.

    Here’s a link of a cut of the data:

    I see a few members short inside the PPT where everyone posts realtime, win or lose.
    All of Fly’s own bloggers here post their trades real time.
    How can some of you plebes pat “John” on the back for a call he made yesterday, and yet, when asked how he is positioned in the market, last time I checked, there was no reply.
    If you are going to make a market “call” please post how you’re playing your call.

        Hey, it’s not like John posted that he made a ton of money short like some folks do after the fact.
        However, I like to see OPI – Other People’s Ideas – and the strategies that may accompany the way they they are positioned in the market.

          I am flat. In cash. I’m horrible at shorting. Never had a knack for it. I put on a short of basic materials today, I posted it somewhere a couple of blog posts back. My posting is more for my edification than anything else. It keeps me mentally engaged with the markets.

          I also keep a trading journal and write out my thoughts in paper. Best thing I ever did with trading was put down my thoughts. I am not here to make market calls. I am here to write out my thoughts–the physical act of typing helps focus the mind. I’ve stated before that historically my trades are more often wrong than right. But when I am right, I want to have good size on.

          Since somehow my posting has evolved into a nuisance, I will stop. I came here for Fly’s Blog which I thought was market commentary with a unique tone to it.

    I try to learn from Fly and everyone else on the site who I can learn from too. John stated before that he was going more into cash yesterday. Cash is a position.

    I found the Tischendorf web site interesting also. I would also like to know how negative distribution statistics are calculated and where one can find them or how one can calculate them for oneself.

    Martin Armstrong is interesting, although I don’t know that he’s that useful for trading, more for economics. Here is his site:

    http://www.martinarmstrong.org/economic_projections.htm

    His projections sometimes work but sometimes they are many months off.
