Hysterical Drama

For today’s market session, I hired three violinists to play the shit that was playing in the Titanic movie, in order to set the mood. I am drinking brandy, ignoring EVERYTHING Mrs. Fly says to me. It’s as if she isn’t there, a ghost of sorts.

Early going, my losses stand at just 4% intra-day. I said “only” because I expect a great deal to come. However, the problem with selling anything right now is it goes against what my urinal shadows are telling me. So you know, the urinal shadow in the butlers uniform is a NET BUYER of stocks here.

Let’s put something on the table, shall we? Ben Bernanke is a fucktard. As such, I removed his iBC cocaine theme. He does not deserve it.

Hey, as the price of crude collapses, fucking hedge fund managers with vigor, jet fuel prices will drop. With that, airlines make money money. As logic dictates, profits will rise and the stocks will soar. HOWEVER, I am assuming people will still fly inside of airplanes. That’s the rub!

The market is singing beautiful tunes today. It is the songs of horror and desperation, designed by the devil himself. “The Fly” welcomes the end of the global banking system, so that he may begin his life of crime.

Oooooh, as my violinists go into diminuendo, the market is rallying. I need some fucking opera singers in here.

    The bernanek needs this to main line the coke later.
    The bottom line is “deflation” with crude where it was, equities at 1200ish it wasnt going to happen.
    now hes setting the stage to unleash the hounds.
    Its a matter of time.

    No more tickets for inside of the plane for coach. They will be given leather belts to strap themselves to the wings and fuselage ala “Flight of the Phoenix”. The excess airplane inventory will be rolled into reynolds wrap and sold at inflated prices to homeless men to wrap their charity potatoes, so they can cook them next to fires of flaming barrels of garbage.

    My cataracts just proved useful.
    I have GDX (gold miners etf) and VGK (Europe etf) symbols right next to each other.
    I just saw .31 and pushed key for VGK (so I thought).
    I discovered two minutes later (when I checked my confirmation) that I actually bought GDX @60.31.
    Just sold it for 60.60.
    It pays to be blind.

    Leading indicators came out at up .3.

    Can I say something here..

    The stats that have come out this month have actually not been that bad and some of them pretty reasonable.

    Of course the market is forward looking and all that, but back in June it was forward looking too, but I bet it wasn’t expecting okish numbers in September.

      Once again, I agree.

      Existing home sales were actually good yesterday because price discovery is currently happening. Prices dropped and purchasing volume picked up rapidly. Supply was drawn down too in spite of the effects of Irene, which affected housing starts (note permits which are not affected by weather picked up too). Fed manufacturing surveys (Philly) bounced off of its lows thanks to rebounds in new orders (leading), Empire survey didn’t get alot worse, exports bounced too for GDP deceleration respite, consumer spending is not horrible (driven by autos), ISM manuf and non-manuf are hovering above 50 signaling growth, and jobless claims are not spiraling lower. So basically it’s slower growth but not complete twisted-Earth dystopia.

      I think the basic materials stocks will be the financial stocks of ’08-09. Peak to trough in 2011 they are down 70% (coal) while the banks are down 50-60%. I’m keeping them on my radar and think a catalyst could be the passing of the new Obama Jobs Bill, just like in 2009.

    AAPL traded to precisely $400/sh … and bounced “somewhat” !

    Can AAPL hold above that $400/sh level ? (he asked rhetorically)

      Still holding your TYP?

      Where is “BanAlf” ?

      Will anyone applaud your courage and conviction now that your call played out? Not holding my breath.

      I came into this week 70% short and 30% long (not counting cash). Making money but not in the glorious fashion you would think with a 9% slide in the market. My longs lose 2% for every 1% of the market – ughh. Too high Beta. Frustrating to underperform… oh well.

    The Dow daily chart is in a giant sideways channel since start of august.

    If we bounce at august support here, next resistance, serious resistance, is not for about 900 dow points above. So, the bears are either about to have a great victory, or get completely steamrolled.
