Taking My Coin, Top Hat, And Going Home

I sold out of a variety of positions this morning, into strength. I was “blessed” by the Gods with an enormous IPGP scorcher. It was a top 3 position of mine. Anyway, “The Fly” has opted to adhere to the laws of nature by going to the sidelines and buying some TZA in his personal account. Over the past week, my gains were enormous, pushing my YTD returns to 13%, just 3% off annual highs. In other words, I am walking away a winner.

Now, I didn’t sell WNR or CVI because gasoline prices are dropping hard. National prices are down to $3.31, ensuring strong demand. Coupled with the fact crack and WTI-Brent spreads remain near all-time highs, I believe the refiners are a winner.

In addition to WNR and CVI, I kept 75% of my TCK position and all of my GSVC. GSVC is my high risk/high reward play, as they are invested in Facebook, Twitter, Zynga, Groupon and Chegg, just to name a few.

In case you were wondering, yes, “The Fly” will be dining like a King today, at the finest Michelin rated restaurant in NYC, guzzling down the finest ambrosia available in all of North America.

NOTE: I am still short EXH.

UPDATE: I bought a little JVA

    I see that the virus responsible for genital warts is implicated in 72% of male throat cancers, according to a Bloomberg article.

    I now wonder when does Governor Perry will start forcing Texas boys to have Gardasil injections to prevent this horrible disease? So far, on this topic his lips are sealed.

        Actually I’m worried on behalf of CAP who sucks his own dick. I hope he’s not feeling himself today.

          I imagine the flexibility and fitness necessary to actually suck your own dick would imply a healthy lifestyle – aside from the sucking your own dick part.

          Sound like bad news for those gals who enjoy a close carpet inspection.

          Which I believe is pretty much all of them.

        So if you see warts, dig in? Seems like that’s what you’re implying.

    Fucking impressive Fly. Have been watching you trade this whole past week, while I, due to a host of reasons, have largely been sitting on my hands and waiting for some resolution.

    Flip flop….hip hop…….

    man……the lack of conviction here is a real limp noodle. Are we trading or are we investing??

    common….who’d invest in America now?…or ever more for that matter?

    Late day sell….duh!! – strength will be sold all week – but as currencies clearly show. – We go higher.

    The volatility will crush small boys – bulls n bears alike.

    Im playin the bounce – CAREFULLY..as seen in AUD/USD as a barometer (aud/jpy as well)

    Don’t puss out here…..a day a trend ‘does not make’.
