70% In

Fuck it, I am getting aggressive ahead of “The Hole”, having allocated another 20% of my cash to IPGP, VHC, DECK, WNR and CXO today. For my personal, I am all DECK calls, WNR common and CXO calls. To date, my personal/aggressive account is down 35% to mid 600’s. It was, as noted here for over a year, seeded with just 100k 1.5 years ago. At the highs, that account was north of 1.25 mill. Easy come, easy go.

Today’s rally has legs and should extend into tomorrow. In my estimation, the only thing that derails us is a BAC offering of some sort. So you know, The PPT has registered OVERSOLD signals since 8/18. That means it has, yet again, nailed the top and bottom of the ranges, over the past volatile two weeks. Very impressive, if you ask me. For those that got in, prior to today’s melt up, “The Fly” tips his top hat to you.

Everyone else can go fuck themselves.

Let’s be clear (no Obama): there was an Earthquake on the east coast today because that fucking planet, niburu (sp?) is going to smash into Earth, sending us into a fucking permanent ice age. So you know, “The Fly” has made arrangements at Puma Punku to live out the rest of his days in barbaric comfort, should celestial fuckery take hold of Earth. From there, I will conduct my daily space experiments on the humans I capture, via my space capsule BEAM-RAY gun. In case you were wondering, YES, I am the only space alien magician blogging on the internets, telling you small brained dogs how it really is. Be my guest, bet again S.A.M., with your 0% equity allocation, see where it gets you.

NOTE: Greater men than you have bet against me before. Now those men are dead.

    Snap back to 1220-1250?

    Looking like it if the Clam brings his A game and announces QE3 or at least strongly hints at it.

    Markets might be disappointed if he waits though. Tough call.

    Can someone tell me what QE3 would be? Interest rates are scraping the curb. Is the bernank going to forgive mortgages and unsecured credit lines while doing lines of blow off of Obummer’s golf bag?

    This is worse than Vegas, because in Vegas you know the odds, have eye-candy and free drinks, and the house can’t see your cards.

    They know everyone’s positions, they have the first look at comprehensive order flow, and they are busy stuffing quotes to drive the market in the direction to benefit them.

    More PM options expiration scams, the manipulation investigation and position limit enforcement is still ongoing…

    PM signaling either no QE or options expiration, if we don’t get QE most assets will drop except bonds. Beware being long into Friday post speech, if we get a head fake they might save stimulus for the following week when Obama launches an infrastructure and stimulus package. Sad when investing is now about trying to read the tea leaves on government stimulus and buy and hold can be measured in weeks.

    Here’s the best part about the planet collision comment, it’s almost as if the Fly wrote this himself:

    (from wikipedia:)
    The idea that a planet-sized object could collide with or pass by Earth in the near future is not supported by any scientific evidence and has been rejected as pseudoscience by astronomers and planetary scientists.[1]
    The idea was first put forward in 1995 by Nancy Lieder, founder of the website ZetaTalk. Lieder describes herself as a contactee with the ability to receive messages from extra-terrestrials from the Zeta Reticuli star system through an implant in her brain. She states that she was chosen to warn mankind that the object would sweep through the inner Solar System in May 2003 (though that date was later abandoned) causing Earth to undergo a pole shift that would destroy most of humanity.

      1995? Nancy Lieder?…lol That’s the problem getting information From Wikipedia….

      In 1978 Zecharia Sitchin wrote a book named “The 12th Planet” in which he described Nibiru based on Sumerian tablets..

      Didn’t you watch Ancient Aliens?

        Really? Which are you watching??

        (In TradeStation) I keep an eye on $ADSPD (>350 almost the whole day) and $TICK (plenty of 1200+ readings, also the moving avg I watch stayed >0 almost the whole day, and trended up nicely into the final hour). I also watch a quotes table of 27 indexes/sector ETFs etc, 25 of them closed WELL in the green — and were there most of the day. The two that didn’t were UUP (dollar bull) and $XAU (gold & silver).

        So IMO — this was a bona fide buying day.

        If we get follow through tomorrow, bears are in trouble.

    So in the NYC area, was it a tremor or a quake ?

    I was in a skanky motor vehicles office and I thought a crack head was humping my chair to the beat of
    his Zune knockoff , LOL ! Got into a fight there 8 years ago so I pussied out and buried my head in my newspaper rather than turn around and spark another one up.

        Been out of the loop for 6 hours, haven’t heard about a tasering in NYC, but there is a website to investigate, called Thee Rant.

        Yeah, I pussied out, but last time an 80 year old security guard wound up separating us by bringing
        the crack head to the front of the line and leaving me in the back. Maybe this was the scam for his bro.

    That of course … looked nice … and I said so in a previous post … on a previous blog !

    But, I ALSO look @ TICK and TRIN numbers throughout the day … watch’em like a hawk in fact !

    TICK was fair … TRIN was NOT !

    TRIN was substantially ABOVE 1.00 ALL DAY LONG … I prefer it to be BELOW 1.00 !!!

    That’s all I’m sayin’ !!!

    OEW Daily Recap: http://caldaro.wordpress.com/2011/08/23/tuesday-update-298/

    “The market opened higher, bounced around a bit retesting the low SPX 1120?s, then rallied throughout the day. Once the SPX cleared the OEW 1146 pivot the short term count took on two possibilities. First, the high at SPX 1208 may have only concluded Minor wave A of Intermediate wave iv, then the decline to yesterday’s 1121 Minor wave B, and now a rally back to around 1222 pivot, to complete Int. iv, is underway. Second, the downtrend from SPX 1356 may have just ended on a failed/truncated fifth wave. This second count would suggest a potential rally into the OEW 1261 pivot area, or higher. Today’s decline in Gold would give the second count a slightly higher probability than the first, since equities and gold have been moving in opposite directions since July. We posted both counts in green. The short term OEW charts have turned positive after the SPX hit the 1146 pivot. Short term support would be at the 1146 and 1136 pivots, then the 1120?s. Overhead resistance is at the 1168, 1176 and 1187 pivots. Market remains quite volatile. Best to your trading!”

    MEDIUM TERM: downtrend low SPX 1102

    LONG TERM: bear market highly probable
