A Rally Full of Peasants

Nope, not buying it yet. On the other hand, I am not selling it either. Consider “The Fly” something of an enigma, a machine propelled only by winning. More so, he feeds of off your untimely defeat.

The rally is underway, after an early morning spike to the helmet. By golly, out of nowhere stocks screamed higher as if the sellers were lit aflame and tossed into ovens. Well, if I must take a position, it is to take nothing at all. I am short by a degree of 5% with 60% of my assets in cash. I am not betting large on a decline, despite thinking it will happen, because of the desperate nature of our policy makers to buoy markets–no matter what. That’s what stocks have been running on for more than 2 weeks.

As a matter of fact, I do not think the word “running” does justice to the type of V-shaped “fuck you, you’re dead” rhino stampede we’ve enjoyed lately. It reminds me of the market bottom of 1998, only without all of the “awesome and amazing” technological revolutions and booming economies to fall back on. This time around, we have “Robo-China” and their planned growth of 9.1% per annum, no matter what. How convenient for the world to have such a wonderful backstop. The Mother of all back stops, our benevolent friends, the Chinese.

No matter the Chinese send “mobile execution” vehicles to people who commit minor crimes for proper and efficient life terminations. As long as they keep the jackasses at FOXCONN in check, so that we can enjoy the genius of Steve Jobs, vis a vis shiny new iPads.

Then again, Wall Street is the enemy, since we make Apple’s stock go higher, which in turn employs more people at FOXCONN and the eventual execution/suicide of weak minded line workers. We are so fortunate to have the Occupy Wall Street crowd speaking out for the little guy, telling the world how evil Wall Street is, with all of their heavy handed policies and such.

Speaking of which, the war in Libya went well and we’ve managed to secure plenty of light sweet crude for the fucking Italians and French. Now that Libya is out of the way, we can redouble our efforts to focus on what is important, such as oil in Uganda.

As an aside, I’m sitting out this rally, in order fine tune by orbital space cannon.

        I am Here…Just waiting for the CLAM to speak at 1:15pm. Eur/USD has resistance at 1.3747 and they are just playing with that with the hope that the Clam will save the day. Boston Fed has a link to watch it live….Drummer, You know I am a Vegetarian….Bobby, I have the Clams Spine, its Merv King that is a hard one, but after that UK CPI number last night says the spine will be mine soon.

            Jose, I hate to bust your bubble, the pic isn’t me..its Bjork in her Swan Dress. I posted my pic here when I first showed up and Jake (who is a big Bjork fan) said I looked like her. Lol, IMHO I look a lot better then Bjork..but because I have been watching the Black Swan of the Shanghai Copper Bubble, I though the Bjork in her Swan was perfect. James Altucher, Jim Cramer and Jim Rogers all have met me and can confirm I am very female.

Joseph Kony: About to be dead. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate’s theaters of war: Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Uganda …

          Mozart was the same way. Of course, he could confirm the melodies in his head.

          Most superior musicians can look at a sheet of music and “hear” it just as you can read this post and hear my voice (or “a” voice).

      They can fill the next steerage class space available on WWII rust buckets after the prime lower bunks are filled with the OWS gang. Great move! Ship all the fuckers to China where they will quickly learn about humane treatment for illegal aliens ala Cantonese and Hunan.

        Jose..Bear market rallies do that. Someone really needed Euros in a big way for the last few weeks. We can’t get our nice big sell off until AAPL breaks the heart of all the true believers out there. Patience. SPX is playing with the 89MA intraday on the minute chart, it will fade, but give it a few. FWIW, The true part of the game is not to hurt..don’t go short if you can’t take pain.

            You better dump your leveraged inverses Jose while you can because Huggie called 1260 and that’s pretty close to where we will be going. Your chance to sell was yesterday and this morning. Huggie is right.

            Bull markets climb stairs, Bears take the elevator. Most of the time we just stand around and push the button while the Bulls run about feeling happy…Container Rates for Ships, Ugly. Ore Spot, Ugly. Steel Prices, dropping. Copper, Ugggg. Only thing still doing good is that Stupid AAPL…were is that elevator??

    OMG, that lame story about Leverage.. EU diplomats are NOT EVEN named and it is just gossip. GERMAN people HATE the idea about Leverage of any kind. They are asleep right now and should be pissed when they read the gossip coming out of talks. Eur/USD popping to 1.3800.
