Obviously The PPT is oversold now. But that’s not what’s interesting. Today’s close tied the lowest technical score ever. The last time we were this oversold was 2/17/09. Shortly after 2/17, the market traded way the fuck lower, in “fuck you, you’re dead” fashion. It’s one thing to be oversold, but another to be dangerously oversold. The market is whispering something to us, ever so quietly.
For the record, I do not want a collapse and do not stand to gain, being net long. However, let’s face it, we have nothing to run on anymore. For over a year we ran purely on POMO and Ben Bernanke’s beard. Now we have to run on cheap stocks and a good economy. Get it?
I guarantee you policy makers will throw the kitchen sink at this debt crisis and at some point the market will scream higher. Because of this, I will not be shorting anything. As a matter of fact, I will be a buyers of basic materials at the right time. My list will be furnished inside The PPT.
Today’s sales were in tech. I cleaned out of VMW, AMD, MU, CIEN and FFIV. For all intents and purposes, aside from CIEN, they held up well during this meltdown. Had I went long some basic materials, I would have lost a lot more. I kept AG, GSVC (illiquid), WNR (less than 2% position now) LCC and will liquidate into rallies.
My buy list encompasses the most battered basic material stocks, with the best fundies and highest % of shares sold short. I want to own stocks that are heavily shorted because the short sellers offer support underneath the stock, via covering. Also, they provide excellent tinder when the tide turns.

I think we are fucked …
Damn you. I was going for first post!

The Gods say I am fine, but you’re pretty much fucked.
Braveheart? Steven’s the name…funny Irish man
naHAhahaaa
I am Irish and I do live on an island. It’s mine.
I say we rally all the way up to Grandpa Fly’s birthday in November.
How did you remember that?
I have always had a good memory for details on things I have read or have participated in. For example, I know how many shares of SMH I bought on the 5th tee while caddying for my son at Hilton Head on Friday (jobs report) the first week of Feb., 2004. The DJIA plunged down 80 points but INTC was unchanged so I put my order in.
Or July 6, at Sunriver outside Bend, Ore. my son was to tee off at 7:30 but there was a 2 hour frost delay so we went to the Lodge and had a Western omelet,2 links, hash browns and toast. We sat in a booth in the first row facing the mountains.
I recall lots of stuff like this going back years.
But, I have to write down what my wife needs at the grocery store or else I will forget.
Anyway, I recall you writing about Granpda Fly’s birthday being about the same day as your first blog of iBC.
That was July 6, 2004 at Sunriver.
TraderCaddy, are you like this?

Interesting times indeed. So bear market rules it is.

Who, among the policy makers, is going to do shit? I can’t think of any dicksucker ready to do anything other than pontificate their lame and extreme position. Politicians suck. Markets rule!
It is guaranteed
Something’s up indeed…
Fly the PPT has been a pristine, beautiful signal on dips since 2009. But that’s because it has been a bull market (within a bear cycle). Will the PPT handle the adjustment so that overbought signals are as pristine? I can’t quite remember if the PPT was producing signals in 2008, but I have a sense that the range of the signals themselves changed. That was in response to an algorithmic change, no?
Hugh
We are in a bear market, so the OVERBOUGHT signals are more accurate now.
“For all intents and purposes, aside from CIEN, they held up well during this meltdown.”
Of course, the one that I followed you on…
Oy.
Hey !
You cowardly lil douchebag !!!
You owe me an apology !!!
—
You don’t get away with lying about my posts … and just walking away you fucking chickenshit !!!
.
… I am waiting for that apology, jackass !!!
.
… waiting you cowardly jackass !!!
.
Why don’t you ask him nicely?
Just forget about the shitbag…..he’s just trying to get under your skin. As far as I’m concerned you had the last laugh with your performance and already being positioned short last night.
I for one appreciate your posts…you are a gentleman and he is probably hiding under his mothers skirt right now.
Carry on.
Looks like I’ll have to go back to my old job of just scalping the market.
The only problem with that is my crack gets all sweaty and shit.
ROFLMAO !!! The Prince !!!!
I think the European governments will bail out the banks via a bunch of highly dilutive senior converts (to placate the voters) and then we’ll muddle through this thing with the SPX earning $80-$85 12 months forward and getting a 13x to 14x multiple thanks to the egregiously low interest rates out there. Thus, even though we could overshoot, we’re probably at around fair value right here and I think the thing to do is find some fundamentally very cheap stocks that can still grow in a no-growth muddle-through economy.
The market is whispering that the EU should suck on prince alaweeds cum for some white night casshola
Literally laughing my ass off. “You say a unicorn is not real? Tell that to my unicorn.”
“I have Michael Caine’s cum… and I got some from the height of his career!” (Makes height hand motion)
That shit is BRILLIANT.

I can’t stop cringing watching these debates. The more Perry and Romney talk, the more 0bama doesn’t need to say a word to get himself reelected.

Sorry.

See Gov Granholm interview on The Daily Show tonight for a working knowledge of what turns economically distressed regions around.
Hint: It wasn’t slashed spending and tax cuts that worked
You’re kidding right?
Granholm who got chucked out on her ass?

The stock market may be “whispering something to us..” but the debt markets have been screaming “we’re fucked” for a long time now. Any coincidence today’s beat-down occurred the same day Germany Spain and Italian CDS spreads hit historic highs?
This shitty market shouldn’t be a surprise.

“Your son looks like Michael Cain”
“That’s because it is Michael Cain’s son.”
That was classic.

Anyone think the G-20 (statement or not) will have anything other than a 6 hour effect? Gone by 4:00 AM?
I’ll fade anything out of G-20. Its like listening to Gomer Pyle opine on quantum mechanics.
Agreud, your thoughts reflect mine. On a 25% reflex run in beat down basic materials/tech with 60% cash, you can hit 20% end of year returns (with your current ytd). That’s my goal at least for the last 3 months. The next couple of weeks may change my thoughts though, to try and hit strong eoy returns.
flyseph -any Krull videos lately. Or that weird old guy who was doom/gloom (denninger i think). or the redneck guy who use to smash things that Chartaddict would play.
Those vids always got the bear feelings exacerbated.
Fly… fear has grabbed you, with ppt at historic oversold levels I thought for sure you give bears the finger and load up … whats the saying buy when others are fearful. With fear of biblical proportions we stilled closed above 1120…. nuff said. My buys today were CLF, HUN, ACI, and you guessed it WNR.
I got rid of half my TZA hedge and loaded up to the gills with TNA.
I think the PPT is telling us something, even if it’s only a temporary something.

Concur 100%
Is Alf Art Cashin, did I mention, bye, bye BAC. Blame the Orange one.
G-20 baby!!!!!!!
He’s a pussy.
BAC should do a capital raise and have the dignity to issue paper stock certificates so that at least investors have an ample supply of TP for their Bungholes.
Anyone get the number of that truck that hit my PM portfolio today?
Even at only 50% invested, I got the snot bludgeoned out of me.
Given my late day trade, however, I’ll ask that you save your prayers for the morning after.

If world spot pm prices are any indication, we are having a liquidity crisis.
Is the Euro toast,
yet?
Whoosh! Those futures dropped fast. The end times are going to be great.
Party at my place this weekend to usher in the new depression.
Fly,
Are you aware of this plagiarist?
