The Bottom is Going to Drop Out

I made over 240% on my TZA July 33 calls today and more than 11% in my GSVC position. I am mostly out of the market now, including WNR. I will close out today +15% with a 85% cash position. In my personal, I am loaded with TZA calls and GSVC. I am still long MWW, if only for one more day. And, I am in no rush to buy this dip.

TLT is rising, alongside UUP. Volatility is on the rise and risk aversion is back, BIG TIME. Unlike the Greek problem, I cannot foresee any short term resolution for Italy or Spain. This is the big one that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Naturally, the market is full of surprises and “they” always find a way to mark up prices. However, the Dow is still at 12,500. If I might be so bold, there is clear and smooth sailing room to 12,000, maybe even lower. This issue will not take a backseat to WORSE THAN EXPECTED Alcoa earnings, which are sure to be revealed after today’s close. If you have learned anything from iBankCoin over the past 4 years it is “The Fly” is always right, even when he appears to purport exact falsehoods. I want you to understand what is at stake, prior to delving into dips, like some sort of doped up monkey playing an accordion in Brazil.

My winship is about to get largess. Wait and see.

      You might want to stop and check with Hugo and the Ayatollah on that insane target.

      Iran, Venezuela, and their 4 other allies now run Opec. Oil isn’t printing in the 70’s anytime soon, let alone 60.

      I said , wednesday of last week, I was only looking for a 2% pullback or so in the QQQ . Unless UGA gas prices go surging upwards, and barbarians retake italy, this could be the end of the pullback.

      But, I still suspect we MAY get a surprise surge in oil above 130 next in 5 months. Then, even anticipation of Romney wouldn’t save the Dow.

        OPEC has control of production targets (when they aren’t cheating their own quotas), not price.

          Problem is, right now, Syria , Yemen, and Bahrain are all on fire

          And all seem to be adding more political capital and allies to the Iranian side.

          The Israelis can barely hold their checkpoints down, and The Saudi’s are getting afraid of outright revolution. The republicans and dems in the Us lack the political capital to push sanctions, or come close to threatening military action on Iran,Venezuela , etc.

          In short, we are on the ropes, and on the verge of losing most of the mideast. Im not sure Oil has priced this in properly

            I’m never completely out of oil exposure for that reason. Even if I feel very sure that its price movement is down.

    I wish Fly would tell us why he’s so bearish all of a sudden. As the market sold off starting with the death of OBL, he stayed bullish, and now all of a sudden, the end of the world is here.

    Tomorrow is another day. I predict we open higher and then slowly drip lower as the day progresses. Yes, Fly is right about the market being in trouble. I, however, don’t believe a major crash is imminent.

    We should revisit the lows of 2 weeks ago sometime over the next month, and maybe even go a bit lower. Not a reason to panic though. The real trouble won’t start till this fall, if it’s going to happen this year.

    “My winship is about to get largess” ?!? That doesn’t even mean anything!

    But, hey, “it’s the big one” I can understand. The only problem is that the time needed for Spain and Italy to collapse exceeds the maximum duration of any Fly (or wall street) trading outlook – by a factor of 30 or 40…

    Hence, I conclude that Fly will be buying -when Boehner and Obama shake hands – while appearing to be purporting to be portending that euro-people are just silly and Italy hasn’t mattered since Rome fell. Just wait.

    its hard to be heavily bearish after today’s move in europe

    Look at charts of EWI VGK STD EWP EWG DB AIB NBG UBS EWG IXG CS

    If they simply stabilize, the EURUSD should find support. Alot of parabolic panic moves in the euro space right now. Aren’t they likely to have at least a dead cat bounce, before the next downleg?

    Tom is right, this is not the end of the world yet. It is one more step toward that end, however. There will be an end to this madness, and when it nears, everyone will know it is coming. The entire situation will look very similar to 2008. The big difference is that this time it will not be private banks going belly up, but entire countries and their currencies. As with 2008, the smaller, less capable entities go down first. Everyone will claim that there are no problems in the rest of the world, and then as Fall nears, reality will rear its ugly head.

    I believe now is the time to start raising your investment in gold, from 10% to 20%.

    In 2008, gold went down due to massive deflation. This time, it will be the opposite.

      Heck YA! When I was a pup, we used to have a blast(pun intended) taking the weekly garbage to the township dump. The place was infested with rats, mice, skunks and vermin of every sort. All of which needed desperately to be shot. Of course, we obliged in the most egregious fashion possible given the meager supplies our limited ammo budget could conjure up. 300-400 rounds was considered an average evenings work.

    Everybody is against spending on government programs– except the ones that they themselves benefit from. That’s why Tea Party candidates seem to always turn out to have received a million dollars in farms subsidies or some other form of government handouts. Practicing what one preaches is not something that is done politically in this country.
