Trounce Week

Pardon my absence. I am predisposed and typing this from my iPhone.

Who am I kidding with blind optimism? You were right. I was wrong. This shit really is falling apart right now. Today’s action is nothing less than horrific, with another Chinese scandal to boot with HRBN.

Confidence is nothing and people are selling everything.

Opt out.

    Obama admits he created 2.1 jobs in the private sector – I think he is overstating it quite a bit…

    for the real world, climbing snow/ice-covered (too much loose rock otherwise) North Couloir on Castle Peak this week-end. 15 miles south of Aspen beyond Castle Creek Road. Lovely.

      This statement scares me a lot, fly.

      If you want out, then get out! Your years of speculating in the market have told you to get flat now and yet you are holding for tomorrow.

      One thing I have learned in the markets is that when I am uncomfortable in my position, I will pitch it out ASAP. No questions asked. If I can’t trade the position with a clear head, the position is not worth holding.

    Sell everything, Fly, before it is too late. Go with a million AGA. Use your iPhone to call a broker. There is still time. Get out, man. Who is your broker? I’ll get their customer service number for you.

    Individual investor sentiment has been pretty low – something usually seen late in a market decline rather than early.

    I just downloaded the historical AAII sentiment data and looked at how recent levels of bullishness compared to the past.

    There are about 2500 weeks of data. Ranking the weeks from lowest to highest bullish sentiment, the last 5 weeks have the following rankings:
    6-16 245
    6-09 105
    6-02 276
    5-26 131
    5-19 163

    All 5 weeks are below or close to the 10th percentile in bullishness.

    There is a lot of noise in the survey, with frequent strong reactions to short-term events, but that is a fairly sustained period of low bullishness for this data series.

      I think the strategy here is to increase your position from here and keep doing so if the decline starts. Eventually it reverses. Then you sell and book a small gain at a very large risk, but since this is already such a large anomaly if you bet on enough of these, you’ll be dead before it goes 10 weeks against you. Double down!

    I subscribe to MLBtv HD on my laptop.
    Fly is at Yankee stadium watching the Rangers game.
    I saw him in the bleachers drinking beer and throwing pizza at Hamilton out in left field.
    The least thing he could do is take off that Mets hat when in the Bronx.

    Don’t give up Fly, the bounce is imminent. But the bounce should be sold, and shorted. Just wait for a reset in sentiment, then this market is going to collapse. 950 by August.

    HRBN? Wow, another one bites the dust. They may all be frauds… and to think we all get excited/dissapointed when the Chinese govt releases growth/inflation/etc figures…. Are we really sure China exists? Has anyone actually been there??? Maybe my iPad was really made by the elves at the North Pole and not Shenzen.

      China must exist because I read about the settlement of a “Chinese Drywall” class action suit.
      And then I saw a video of Dwight Howard and Derrick Rose the other day in what looked like China with real Chinese looking people.
      But then again, it could have been an elaborate hoax and they were actually in NY or SF Chinatown.

    So Fly is going to stop drinking alcohol and coffee and get healthy…that’s funny. I’ll believe it when I see it.

    If you want to live healthier, get off your ass and stop watching the damn stock market evey friggin day.

    P90x, that’s even funnier – at least the coffin will be smaller, saving wood and the enviornment when Greece defaults and gives all the traders a heart attack.

    My day comprised of an egg and cheese sandwich with 5 cups of coffee. A round of golf with a few of those 16-oz beers and a couple of Arturo Fuente Churchills. Followed by an onion and pepperoni bar pie, a few plates of hot wings and some thirst quenching Longboard drafts. And to end the day it will be a grilled sausage, pepper and onion sandwich, some ricotta cheesecake, and then I’ll chew on some DeNobili stogies soaked in Anisette.

    It’s Father’s Day weekend and the US Open is on…who the frig cares about the stock market!

      Fly quit drinking alcohal and coffee???? Boy, one day I don’t read this blog and I missed all this?

      FLY – Do it! (Maybe not the alcohol)… I quit smoking 13 weeks ago and feel fantastic! Don’t miss it one bit.

      Instead of P90X, I would recommend car lifting like your friend V King. Start small though (Yugo preferred).

    Here’s the big picture.

    Jamie Dimon ordered Clam to end QE2 in June and drag his feet about more QE so Jamie and his crowd could sell in May and leave for the Hamptons to enjoy the correction. The current plan is to jump back into stocks a few days before Clam announces another round of market goosing in the fall. But if the republicans don’t let Clam do it, then Jamie et al will just stay short and watch ‘er tank. Either way, they get all the money.

    So, you ask, if Jamie and Clam are so cozy why did Jamie spoil Clam’s little media love fest a few weeks back? It’s because Jamie was mad at Clam for not following orders for no more bank regulations. Jamie was just showing who’s boss.
