Window of Opportunity

We are rallying off the lows, pretty hard here. We MUST hold these gains and build on them, else we will shit the shower and cascade lower into the bell. I’ve decided to put my money where my mouth is and allocate 30% of my cash here—buying CLF, SWK, WNR, GSVC, TEX, FLS, TDC, CVI and EMN.

I know it’s risky and if I was just trying to get by I’d avoid the market here and “not be a hero.” However, that’s the mindset of a fucking coward. I am here to bank coin and throw javelins through the faces of my enemies, while wearing horrifying AFRICAN MASKS. If I am wrong, it’s only money and I will rebuild. However, if I am right, this trade will make my year.

As for you: don’t follow me into Hades, unless you can handle it. This is a high risk venture that may lead to the immediate removal of my limbs, leaving “The Fly” stubbed on the curb with just a torso.

    My liquor consumption has increased substantially the last couple days, but I’m balls long. Sometimes, it pays being contrarian to the masses. I hope this is one of those times.

    Quantitative Easing Begins in Switzerland to Counteract Soaring Swiss Franc, Central Bank “Aims to Bring 3-Month LIBOR to 0%”; Gold SoarsWed Aug 3, 2011 13:23 from Global Economic Trend Analysis by Michael Shedlock ([email protected]).It’s official. Quantitative easing has begun, just not where you might have expected. QE is underway in Switzerland, by the Swiss National Bank, not the US by the Fed.

    Swiss National Bank Targets LIBOR “Close to Zero as Possible”

    The Swiss National Bank Press release says Swiss National Bank takes measures against strong Swiss franc
    The Swiss National Bank (SNB) considers the Swiss franc to be massively overvalued at present. This current strength of the Swiss franc is threatening the development of the economy and increasing the downside risks to price stability in Switzerland. The SNB will not tolerate a continual tightening of monetary conditions and is therefore taking measures against the strong Swiss franc.

    Effective immediately, the SNB is aiming for a three-month Libor as close to zero as possible, narrowing the target range for the three-month Libor from 0.00-0.75% to 0.00- 0.25%. At the same time, it will very significantly increase the supply of liquidity to the Swiss franc money market over the next few days. It intends to expand banks’ sight deposits at the SNB from currently around CHF 30 billion to CHF 80 billion. Consequently, with immediate effect, the SNB will no longer renew repos and SNB Bills that fall due and will repurchase outstanding SNB Bills, until the desired level of sight deposits has been reached.

    Since the SNB’s last quarterly monetary policy assessment, the global economic outlook has worsened. At the same time the appreciation of the Swiss franc has accelerated sharply during the last few weeks. Consequently, the outlook for the Swiss economy has deteriorated substantially.

    The SNB is keeping a close watch on developments on the foreign exchange market and will take further measures against the strength of the Swiss franc if necessary.

      I like it. ATPG’s loans for Titan “monetization” are all based on the LIBOR. Granted, it’s LIBOR + 8%, but it’s better with LIBOR at 0% than at 5%.

      RSI and money flow are pretty low, looks like a candidate for oversold bounce over the next week maybe but I think it’s risky to go long against both the 50 day and 200 day moving average which is starting to head south. I just got 17.50 calls on BGG; a somewhat similar situation. God help us all.

    The /ES is well below the lower bollinger band. That sort of condition never lasts long. We are due for a massive rally here, or at least some sideways action. This is not Sept 2008 yet.

    Fly, u should be nicer to Ron Paul. He actually likes u. Now lets make money on this rally together. Although I wouldn’t be surprised to see one of three scenarios play out.

    1. We close 124.50 on the spy’s which would immediately put 75% of my working capital in and the rest tommorrow and monday.

    2. We see the SPY close here around 125.50 and I start buying 75% tomorrow and 35% today.

    3. We close higher and green today and tomorrow we get a monster rally in which i would buy toda 25% and 75% on a gap lower tomorrow morning, or no adding on if we just rip higher and don’t look back.

    Fly, I was with you on the long side…for the last 45 minutes or so. Got long some AAPL calls playing the turn. I actually think there’s a chance we rally nicely into the close, but I also can see it stalling out of thin air, making it a somewhat 50/50 bet (even though you could argue there is less resistance up right now).

    To that end, I sold my calls, took the profit, and will just watch the last 40 minutes without having to worry that my heart might explode.

    OEW Recap:

    “If this decline did end today we could get a rally up to the mid-1280?s, or even the 1291 pivot, over the next few days, before heading lower again. Short term support is now at the 1261 pivot range then the 1240 pivot range after that. Overhead resistance is in the mid-1280?s and then the 1291 pivot range.”

    LONG TERM: bear market likely underway

      U R right. Who is better off? The small pleb who has fun and enjoys family, friends, and fun activities and discovering things that are interesting? Or the person who has gazillions but is a nervous wreck, trying to get more all the time, because no amount is ever big enough to fill the emptiness inside?

      Or the person who thinks about all the bad crimes that happened to other people? We’re all going to die one day, most of us not as violently as the people on the crime pages. But not all of us are going to enjoy what is here for us to enjoy, on earth, while we are alive.
