The Hits Keep Coming

How enjoyable to see the market get destroyed on a joyous Friday afternoon. Aside from my TNA position, my portfolios are holding up well, almost unchanged for the day.

I think it’s clear to everyone by now, the market cannot go up without the Fed propping up the market. There is a lot of apprehension out there due to the belief that the market is built on a pile of shit. Oil is getting killed. Pretty much everything is going lower and there is nothing that can be done to remedy bad sentiment, until the sellers have exhausted themselves.

This marks the 6th straight week lower for the Dow, worst streak since the fucked up days of 2002. In my opinion, you do not sell into this sort of rout. Barring some truly reprehensible news, the blood should be bought. Nevertheless, it’s not easy and the path of least resistance is definitely lower.

    Fly sings [with apologies to Andrew Lloyd Webber]: “You Alone My Little Shit Plays Can Make My Song Take Flight…… It’s OVER NOW the Music of the Night….” Back to your blue collar roots. No more highfalutin wine talk. The High Life for you means Miller Time! Try Denny’s, you will love it.

    This is the best you got? You’re getting killed in your portfolio, charge a fucking subscription fee, do not show your entry price or lot size. And this is what you give your subscribers?

    Its one thing to put your head in the sand like an ostrich, its another to write this bullshit. You are a great fade! Keep ’em coming!

    Dear Diary;

    After being ridiculed by some nerds who draw lines on a chart all day long I got the last laugh. Phrases like “ascending triangle”, “bull flag”, “hammer” etc, ad nauseum….

      What does that nonsense even mean? Do we go up for a minute, 15 minutes, an hour, a day, a week, a month, a year?

      I love it when a guy makes a statement (AKA guess)structured completely without the foundations of facts or well thought out theory and presents it like its some sort of hard earned wisdom.

      God I hate the internets.

    I find it funny how you little fuckers never cease to talk shit when the market drops. Where were you for the past three years.

    I do not sell a newsletter, jackass. The PPT is a financial tool.

    This market looks absolutely fucking horrible and as expected the “the-depression-is-on-it’s-way” crowd are struggling out of the swamp and they seem to be getting a hearing from the punters.

    There is a problem and it can’t be avoided though. With the pressure they are placing on the banks it’s going to be hard. However I think, like Cain said the Fed my do something to force the banks out of those reserves and start lending again, but that will take time. The market my preempt that if something is announced.

      they really cant,benjamin made sure that they are well stocked with greenbacks just in case boner and reid cant get the budget done, then the banks will have enough to cash so sec checks just in case the ceiling doesnt get raised. besides, who the hell wants to borrow in this enviroment . corporations are flush with money, how come they are not spending it. so it goes both ways. bernanke knows the politicians are insane. you will surely see civil unrest come about once people cant get access to their money, these people are mostly on fixed income, and thats not gonna happen whether the ceiling gets raised or not. life goes on, but not without money

    I don’t understand why everyone is saying oil is getting killed when it’s only down around 2 percent?

    Please advise.

    VIX @ 18.80, hit 19.15 earlier, in the past 30 days we went over 19 four times and got some sort of rally, will it be 5 out of 5 or does it all fall apart?
