Not Buying Spikes

With the 20% cash I have left, it is reserved for “buying the blood” only. Although I believe there are absurd values out there right now, like WLT, WNR, FLS, I need reserves for the “holy shit, dude, did you see that”? moment. Having 80% long is enough to participate in today’s reflex, better than expected, jobs report rally.

I am sure the numbers were fudged; but who gives a fuck? We need a little respite, in order to give the incompetents in Europe time to fix their mess over the weekend.

I do not believe we will sell off into strength today. However, I’ve seen crazier shit happen.

One thing is for certain: I am addicted to bailouts. Some of you fuckers were correct in chastising me yesterday for asking for government help. But I hope you understand I am not looking for private sector bailouts. I want those idiots to fix their own sovereign issues. In other words, I want government to bail out government, plus throw in a little QE3 on the side for us for the novelty.

Why do I want QE3?

Because it makes the market go up.

Are you surprised? Don’t be.

I’m not gonna judge this tape until 11am.

      I’m convinced that men have no idea wat Buy Low , Sell high. It really is simple but most of u are constantly making mental decisions (becuz ur mentally retarded) that are back and forth in nature and forget the big picture. This is the buy of a mutual/ hedge fund for the year. U wont get better prices unless something surprises us today that is completely chaotic, like a disease, or some type alternative energy discovery that wipes out the whole oil industry over night.

        Nothing is guaranteed. You are taking an irrational point of view. If you are already long, you will participate in this leg up. But to spend all of your cash because “this is it” makes no sense to me.

        My cash is reserved for lower prices, because it’s all I have left.

          I’m not talking about guarantees or sure things. I’m talking about keeping ur head on straight and knowing the difference of times in the marets. This is a moment of panic but nothing to perpetuate it, unless u think some type of foreseeable bankruptcy is imminent. If not, then buy

    Maybe if we tried doing what’s right for the country, instead of what’s right for hedge fund managers that need to get a bonus at year-end, we’d be better off???

    Banks are getting clocked because BAC announced they had 16 billion exposure to Greece Italy and Spain. I presume and the I guess the others will soon too.

          There is nothing unusual about having risk in Europe, as that is what banks do. They take risk. In fact from what I recall BAC said they had no exposure to Greece as they were covered with CDOs.

          My guess is that Citi may have a slightly bigger problem as they are more international. Lets see what they come up with.

          The real issue for the US banks is their entire exposure to Europe because they have , I would imagine, large exposure with the prime name banks in there. French banks have something like $200 billion in italy alone.

      Normally I am callous as fuck and tease people about their trading. This is not the time to do that. People work hard for their money and they don’t want to lose it inside of 1 short trading week.

      Sometimes it’s better to avoid picking bottoms and capture the fatty middle. Most people here have longs and I’d rather see them keep cash on the side, instead of jumping in here ahead of the weekend.

        unerstandable, but cash is never safe. Buy GOLD then if u think world governments are coming to an end. Either way u hav eto be something. Cash is the worst asset in history.

    WORDS OF WISDOM _ Individual stock speculation is gambling… hence why many of you are afraid to get long. Big winners always start before the market or way after. Thats why stocks still look scary.
