Perfect

This is exactly the sort of rally I was looking for, unrelenting, nonsensical–serving as a “full decapitation” for the bears. This is the sort of squeeze that destroys men. I will have no part of the short side, not until The PPT flags another OB signal. Yesterday’s purchase of TZA was the first of three targeted buys, all to be done in a methodical fashion.

I sold out of my AKS position, upping my cash position to 25%, with no shorts. The only albatross on my books today is LULU. To make matters worse, I have an antagonist inside The PPT who is long puts. I will tear your liver out from your torso and eat it raw. Fucker. My GMXR position is sharply lower too; but it’s a very small position. I will buy that on dips.

I need CVI, GSVC and RBCN to continue higher. Into this maelstrom of European robusto, I hope to liquidate those positions and move over into a heavy cash position, wrapping up my year with honor and belligerence.

    Fucking love that song, and the lyrics apply. From wiki: The lyrics are based on a surrealist film by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí called “Un chien andalou.” The film notoriously opens with a scene in which a woman’s eye is slit by a razor, which is referenced in the song lyric “Slicin’ up eyeballs/I want you to know.”

      The most gruesome scene in all cinema. Just thinking about it makes me ill. The second most gruesome eye scene: the ending of Hawaii, where the king takes a stick and pokes his eye out.

        I saw “Un Chien Andalou” in a class on Luis Buneul.

        Perhaps one of my favorite classes in all college.

        It’s all about the teacher, of course, and some say the Donald Sutherland professor character in “Animal House” was modeled after this guy.

        I would not be surprised.

            You don’t get it. It wasn’t the auteur, it was the teacher that made the difference.

            Fuck Jean Renoir.

      you can be wrong 90% of the time as long as you put almost no money in losing trades and a whole fucking lot in winning ones… I think he’s doing just fine.

      apart from that, everyone is getting fucked atm, not just the fly, the whole market is.

      it’s a massive pump and dump.

      I’ve always been a technical guy, but I do not trust anything the chart says atm.

      that’s why I stopped being long in anything, even though technicals are bullish after last weeks action…

    @FLY take this from an old man. Getting pissed enough to raise your blood pressure takes years off your life. Don’t let people get under your skin. I have a quad bypass to prove my point. Stay thirsty my friend.

    You guys act VERY hormonal, it’s really quite entertaining. What a great set-up with the miners today; unfortunately, I set my bids too low for GDX and RIC and missed a beautiful reversal play. I hope some of you caught it though.

      Have you checked the seasonality on BAL? It looks pretty darn good based on PPT data. I also had mentioned RIG as an add at the $41 range and it went there Nov. 29. I know you don’t like it Fly and if the divvy is cut all hell breaks loose, but I’m looking longer term here, and then there’s always the sell button if it misbehaves.

    $WYNN $121 last Thursday to $113 today.

    Technically perfect “Strong Sell” per The PPT.

    Fundamental “Strong Buy” per The PPT.

    I am just amazed at how that stock followed the charts in every way.

    People are getting their clocks cleaned on that stock, and it doesn’t seem like it is going to let up to the downside, either ($107?)

        Shorted WYNN at 118… should have added at 121 but oh well. It looks MUCH lower. Must remember to take profits quickly on shorts… must remember

      With all due respect to Mr. Fly I sold short LULU at 47 and at 50. Had a good day today but this thing is so volatile its a crap shoot. Plus I am a big believer in being long companies who’s products I cant stop talking about, and selling short companies who’s products I dont understand or dont like. Thats LULU.
