Worst Week Since 2008 Ends in a Precious Crash

Stocks plunged this week and the finale was played out today in the precious metals market, where silver and gold plunged amidst rumors of cash calls. Although I despise gold bugs, I am not going to besmirch them today. It hurts to lose money, at such a rapid pace, so I’ve decided to set up a “RETARDED SILVER TRADERS” charity for all of you.

We will raise money for THE RETARDED SILVER TRADERS OF AMERICA FUND (TRSTOAF tr-st-ofe), so that they could buy more AGQ and HL, amidst flaming barrels of garbage and cadavers.

In all seriousness, you’re all gonna get splashed on Monday, after the French surrender and sear their banks in a red wine reduction. Just kidding.

See, I’m not an investor anymore. Therefore, I am liberated, free to travel the Earth and harass people in an unsolicited manner.

Truth be told, the gold and silver holders had it coming. It was God’s way of further punishing John Paulson for his 2007-2008 deal with the devil. Everyone has felt the burn of this bear market. Now it’s time for the RETARDED SILVER TRADERS OF AMERICA to “enjoy” it too.

Into the idiot tape, I was 90% cash, long a little GSVC, WNR and ERY.

COOL UPDATE: Hugh Hendry in a BBC interview yesterday.

      Alf, Congrats on your profits.

      I’ll bet you really are 80 years old. What you are doing takes the kind of learning that experience brings, just like what Fly does. Only Fly invented his PPT to do some of the work for him, thus giving him the experience of an 80 year old long before he becomes that old himself.

    Romney is the MOST wall street connected candidate to ever run for office.

    And it now looks like he will walk into the white house with little resistance.

    Obama’s “cool hand luke” jobs program is a dud. You don’t win the public back with promises of chain gang style ditch digging And those are only temp jobs to begin with!

    This will boost fund manager confidence.

    Everyone knows that Romney’s first priority will be Dow 20k, over the well being of anything else.

    By 2014 you WILL be paying your water bill to Goldman Sachs, and renewing your drivers license at JP Morgan ATM machines.

    This guy is going to go full “ayn rand” , until most of the country looks like a scene from “Robocop”.

    It will be good for stocks. But, you better buy security bars for your windows.

      It’s amazing how “full Ayn Rand” has become so quickly a political marketing tool for corrupt crony capitalists who are anything but the kind of competent folks who Ayn Rand idololized.

      We get to be controlled by corrupt cronies who demand that they get everything they want, and that working citizens get nothing–except the privilege of bailing out banks that are bankrupt. Or the privilege of losing our kids’ lives and our money to fight their profitable wars, in the case of the military industrial complex.

      Come on now Mars, there will be no oil below $80 for the long. Drop below 80 and the sands are offline, then the deep drillers are barely posting profits – Hmm…. what’ll they do? Stop producing. AND THEN??? (in my Harold and Kumar White Castle accent) Then will be then next shortage.
      Don’t care when that will come as have time on my side.
      If no next shortage, and no oil +$80 then you and I and everyone here are all fucked.

    I think you are right, Fly, that the Clam or someone from the government will bail us out and rocket the market up. But at what S&P level is the question.

    So I can understand why you hold so much cash, and why you are planning to buy other people’s liquidations in the near future, rather than going balls to the wall short. This thesis makes a lot of sense to me.

    I’m a retarded silver trader and I do live in America. They say that admitting you have a problem is the first step toward recovery.

    Actually, I really am a big fan of silver but I was and still am heavy with ZSL calls, and put options on GDX, GDXJ, and SLW for this move down.

    Nothing goes up in a straight line and this move was fairly obvious. Silver will go to the mid/low $20’s before I unwind.

    Ben will begin printing again when the pressure gets to be too much and he can blame someone else for it.

    Then the rocket ride in all things asset will continue in earnest.

    Yes, some use reverse etfs, but no one shorts stocks in size. Very odd given how sure everyone is that the market is doomed for failure.

    Former President Rick Perry. Perry lost the election today when it was reported that he had said he had “tasted roadkill better than NC BBQ.” They love their BBQ in NC as much as Texas. NC is an important swing state. Perry is roadkill.

            Agree on the second part. The only reason everyone wants to call Perry a fucktard is because they are deathly afraid of him becoming president. When libs are deathly afraid of a candidate, that bodes well, IMO.

    OEW Daily Recap:

    “The market opened lower today but quickly rallied and turned into a consolidation day after the 2 day ‘post FOMC’ selloff. Apparently the market was expecting ‘operation twist’ to be another form of quantitative easing … more liquidity. When the FED sterilized the program, by buying longer term Bonds with shorter term Treasuries, QE 3 hopes evaporated, for now, and deflationary worries rose again. Our work on the Monetary base suggests QE 3 is in the near future. When and how much depends on the economy, the stock market, and the European debt problems.”

    After touching the familiar SPX 1121 level today the market rallied into the 1136/1146 pivot ranges three times. This is the support area the market broke through when it hit SPX 1114 at yesterday’s low. A level we had not seen since the spike SPX 1102 low right after the last FOMC meeting on August 8th. That day, however, the market closed at SPX 1173. Yesterday the market closed at SPX 1130. No vicious short covering spike this time around. At least not yet. Currently, short term OEW charts remain negative as long as the SPX remains below the 1168 pivot range. Short term support is at the 1136 pivot range, around SPX 1120, and then the 1107 pivot range. Overhead resistance is at the 1146 pivot range, the mid-1150s, and then the 1168 pivot range. Short term momentum ended around neutral after hitting extremely oversold yesterday. Should be an interesting weekend update.”

    “The FED has been fighting deflationary pressures with inflationary increases in the money supply. These deflationary pressures will remain for several more years (secular bear cycle). The FED is likely to maintain, and even expand, it’s balance sheet over this period. Talk of doing otherwise is probably an attempt to pressure a rising commodity market.”

    Thanks for the shout-out Master Fly. You are a grande gentleman, like the plutocrats of yore.

    I commiserate with my olde friend Senator Gint on a day like this. One day doing the Gint is going to be more popular than doing the Hugh. But today is not that day.

      Mr Hendry, do you ever like stocks? Just curious because everything I have ever heard you talk about is recession and disaster.

      By the way, I enjoyed your comment about having an adult running your hedge fund and the fact that he told you no media appearences. Does iBC commentary count as media?

        One day I will like stocks. But not while the burden of debt cannot meaningfully be serviced, either by sovereigns or individuals. Eventually the day of reckoning will come when both sovereign states and individuals will be forced to default or honestly restructure their debt. When that day arrives, I will be buying stocks with both fists. Right now, I don’t often buy assets. But when I do, I make it the US treasury bond. I suggest you do the same.

    Hey, I bought HL today. (PZG and XRA, too)

    I’m using GDXJ has an indicator. And yeah, it’s bad.

    And Canada has the sexiest men. No lie, they do.
    Take that, CT! LOL

    Rock on, JakeG. You have my respect. Well, except for that little remark about inter-breeding in the U.P. (born and bred Yooper here)

    I don’t have time to go around to all the various blogs to post. 🙂

    KOG is the only holding I don’t know what the heck to do with. Just wait for a take out, I guess.

    “Best buying opportunity of a lifetime!”

    This reminds me of all those morons on CNBC talking about banks being the buy of a lifetime in 2008.

    Investing 101= Try and avoid a falling dagger at all costs. It will slice your cock off. Better to wait for a bottom then to gamble with your cock.

    I guess you just gotta learn from experience.

      If you had bought gold/silver miners right after the crash and held, it was the buy of a life time. I bought right before the crash, and then sold into it.

      Lesson learned. Now I’m averaging down, and consider this a gift.

      Of course, there is probably some other lesson waiting for me.

          the Upper Penninsula of Michigan.

          I come from a town that has the same name on both sides of the border. In fact, we were both sides of the border, we didnt know the border existed until after 9/11.

          Oh hell, I am just going to shout it loud and proud Sault Ste. Marie! (I haven’t lived there in years, though)

            I don’t have any friends in Ontonagon.
            I did see “Escanaba in Da Moonlight”, though.
            And yes, tis true, they don’t much like dentists.

            My brother used to say that all you had to do in the U.P. to be successful was to stay out of the bars 3 nights out of 7. He left the U.P. at 18 years old, and never came back.

            See, that’s why I didn’t marry a Yooper.

            OMG, I married a man from GB. I’m not even kidding you. And then we moved down here to Clearwater Beach, and he deserted me. No freakin’ lie.

            Now I ride my bike and trade stocks all day. Well, I make jewelry and go to school, too., (I don’t really trade stocks all day, I just read about them all day)

            My life sounds like something out of a John Steinbeck novel. I just realized that, as I was typing this.

    You better believe the assholes crashing silver and gold while hiking margin requirements are setting the stage for another wonderful inside information guarenteed trade just before QE3 comes to complete the trilogy. They can’t have any gold bugs getting in the way so for the time being they are exterminating them hard. But best believe us gold bugs (if someone being between 5-20% gold since 9/11 can call himself that) are like cock roaches we may scurry away from time to time, but come nuclear winter we still survive. But right now we are on the ropes as the fed is ready to launch an attack so they can QE. Of course after that gold will ply catch up and all will be well but for the time being duck and cover.

        Why would you think that? Is it because you can’t understand that another person would speak up against the bitchy little Queen known as BanAlf.com. I assure you, I am not Alf 44, I am just sick of seeing the relentless attacks on a contributor to this site.And I use the word contributor intentionally. Alf44 has a writing style that seems to perturb many,(crybabies), yet his posts have been honest commentaries on his trades; he hasn’t tried to bullshit anyone here, and I respect that.
        The only name-changing that I have engaged in has been to become, on occasion “BanBanAlf.com”,as an ironic counter-point to the slimy cowardice that is “BanAlf.com”, who, I would imagine, is too chicken-shit to reveal themselves.
        Much like the dunce cap and mask wearing KKK member,BanAlf.com is trying to use his anonymity here to attack someone that he (or she), believes (foolishly)is weaker.
        The lowest form of scum………….
