Welcome to the Santa Claus Rally

The bears lost it all today. This is the day everything changed, with regards to Europe. The central bankers, specifically the Fed, has reminded you once again that they are not interested in ceding power. The market can trade lower on fundamentals. But the prospect of the euro collapsing is zero. Forget about your bitter dreams of blissful calamity. We are now sledding, 250 mph downhill, cutting off heads on the way down.

Into the pocket of opportunity, I will remain long AG, EXK, NGD and RGLD because I know how the market works. I will remain long LULU, AKS, RBCN, GSVC, BZH and WNR because I know how the market works.

This week, thus far, I’ve recovered millions. Today’s gains were an eye popping 6.2%, putting me above 12% for the year.  I was down for a minute or two; but now I’m resurrected–eating brains all the way to the bank.

2012 will mark the ascension of Le Fly, through the establishment of a hedge fund. Unfortunately for you, none of you will be invited.

      Because Le Fly is god and in case you didn’t notice, he has eaten our brains… if you are new, on the way to the bank today. For the rest of us, that happened a long, long time ago. LOL

    In regard to one who talked about “bi-polar” indications when dealing with the Oct-Nov market chaos, IN SIZE and IN PUBLIC, I can only say that he does not understand the game. I have gambled and invested in stocks for years and have never had the loss of sleep/sweats/need to consume massive amounts of adult beverages, etc. that the last several weeks have bought me.But mine was private and alone! In public? I don’t know who Fly is but he has a set of massive ones. Bi-gonzos maybe.

        It’s true. It took me a long time to figure that one out, myself.

        Some are just a lot more bi-polar than others.

        Like a few of my ex-girlfriends, now that’s some serious bi-polar sh*t!

        Good job, Mr. “don’t call it a comeback” Fly.

          I don’t know about bi-polar, but I came within a hair’s breadth of going completely bonkers my freshman year in college.

          Serious, edge of the knife kind of shit.

          Ever since then, I’ve been ever respectful of the thin margin upon which all but the most dim of us tread.

          i went long AVL and WNR last week. AVL awesome gains today. WNR will continue to ride higher as well. $11 WNR entry point and 2.76 AVL entry point was clutch. I picked up some EOG back at 91, that looks solid. RGLD, EXK holding. added AGQ at 60. think silver will bust through resistance.

        A little vaseline on that arse will make you feel better. In a motherly voice I tried to tell you last week that all of our fine inverses needed to be removed from our fantasy port when we were up 10 percent in a woefully down market. In your fatherly voice you said, let’s leave it for now. At least you know how the bears felt today. This is why I’d rather buy bonds or sit in cash instead of buying the inverses although SKF and ERY have caught my fancy for sure.

            Any comments on “Joisey Schoowers” “Vinny” new rap-rape tune, here are lyrics:

            “I ain’t got a girl … You ain’t got a man …
            I’ve got a date for ya … and it’s in my pants.”

            The rap continues:

            “Oh you a fan? You wanna take a pic?
            I like your crack girl … I wanna take a hit.
            Yeah I’m takin’ it … I’m a get you naked b*tch …
            We can f**k and make it fit… boomin s**t and slatin’ it.
            Actin’ like I’m raping it …
            f** k her til she fakin’ it.”

            But wait, there’s more:

            “If I act like a d*ck … slap me with your t*ts.”

            Interesting that rap about rape gets such headlines, but murders and violent leading drug usage lacks comment.

            Is the death of males inherently more ethical than a woman’s suffering during rape?

            Why not frame the issue as rap is violent in general?

    Call it a rally guys, but certainly not “santa”.

    SP 500 – to 1300-1320 tops on this last leg of correction upward.

    And even this…..not before swiping every stop/sucker along the way….thinkin we roll til Xmas.

    Currencies pave the way…and the ol U.S buck will have this “small correction”….before stocks blast downward in the wopper of wopper “wave 3’s” thru first quarter of 2012.

    Bye bye October lows and beyond!

    The secular bulls needed an SPX 1281 print today to undo the secular bear market currently in place, but, despite the strong last day rally, it did not. Thus, markets remain in a Secular Bear Market.

    the euro panic will return.

    they need ACTUAL creation of currency, not ill-informed panic-monkey cries of printing…

    the way congress can create currency year in and year out by deficit spending. They NEED that ability, they cannot possibly survive without it. It comes by

    a) breakup into seperate states (euro dies)
    b) creation of a limitless-check-book central entity that disperses currency on a continuous basis to the countries

    they could kick the can for perhaps 5-10 years by simply monetizing and cancelling much of the sovereign debt, but THE PROBLEMS WILL EVENTUALLY COME BACK.

    problem is: they have a massively negative net sum of euros in existence inside the eurozone (again, as always, not an opinoin, simply a fact, an arithmetic fact)

    folks, the eurozone was meant to implode, it was designed to eventually self destruct. We are there. The questions are

    1. who was behind its planning, and eventual self destruction
    2. will they create currency, when pressed?

    I’m happy to see today’s move and all, but does anyone get frustrated that they’re just kicking the can instead of implementing fundamental solutions to these problems? I’ve felt like we’ve been on a historic precipice for a few years now, and part of me would feel relieved to see it realize into some crisis that would actually solve the problem for good. Is this fear a new norm, or has anticipation of “the big one” in the markets pretty much always existed?

    I thought we might slide into 2012 by simply burning off some fat from the bears’ behinds, so I’ve been hanging in cash since last week (except for some FXE puts), but after today, I’ve got to consider getting short again. Nibbled a little at the close.
