Pressing the Hot Blade into Your Neck

Early in the day, for my personal account, I sold out of SOHU and UTA, due to strange trading behavior. I didn’t like the way they were trading. As a matter of fact, I do not like how any of the chicoms are trading. With the proceeds, I bought boat loads of RBCN and IMAX, at $22.80 ish and $27.70ish respectively. Let me tell you right now, I will not relent on these two until my blade is stuck firmly into your jugular, twisting away at your arteries.
If you are short these names, your head will soon be mounted inside of my fucking garage (’cause it’s not good enough for my office).

For managed accounts, I sold out of PWRD (chinese fuckery) and loaded up on TEX. Milk the farmer. Destroy the peasant!

The dollar got crushed today, alongside treasuries and munis. Risk is back on, in a big way. The European debt crisis will be neutralized and stocks will trade up, in my humble opinion of course.

Most of my positions charged higher today, allowing me to gain about 0.5%. Year to date, I’m up about 2%, while my personal psychopath account is down about 5%. There are two sides to the 240% leveraged blade, trust in that.  Nonetheless, I will make all of it back, very quickly, and much, much more. Watch me do it.

Build a Reservoir

Assume the market is correct. Cast aside your visions of imminent disaster and imagine the U.S. economy growing at a 4% clip, with a sharp decrease in unemployment. Let your mind wander free to believe the European “debt crisis” is nothing more than a dog and pony show, which will be dealt with and satisfied. Let’s assume Asia and Latin America stay on its current course, without any hiccups. If all of these conditions are met, where do you think stocks are going?

Answer: much, much higher.

I know, it’s annoying to suggest stocks can trade much higher, especially following such a big two year run. But then again, look at the shares of CRM or NFLX. I thought those stocks made big runs 50% ago. If I am to base my investment decisions on the numbers in front of my face, 2012 S&P EPS of $110, then I need to get prepared.

How does one get prepared?

Well, for me, it’s utilizing The PPT to isolate stocks, by industry, with high growth, high ROE, solid fundies (debt/eq., gross margins etc, and relatively low FPE’s). I call this list Growth At a Reasonable Price (GARP).  I am casting a wide net that will include 100+ names, so that I may cross reference this list with my momentum indicators. Building this reservoir of high quality stocks will keep my investments isolated to the very best names and help me avoid getting stuck in egregious murderholes. It’s like being able to choose from the best whorehouse in the world, as opposed to some disgusting rats nest in DC.

Naturally, I will set aside a certain amount of coin to buy/sell lower quality scorchers. But, my focus is now switching from trading on a whim, to something more with purpose.

iBC Several Years in Review

Many of you new jacks on this site have no idea who “The Fly” is, with regards to his pedigree and stock market prowess. Over the past 15 minutes (I read at a 800 word per minute rate), I reviewed some of my posts on FlyonWallstreet.blogspot and here, dating back to 2007. First of all, let me say this: if possible, I’d like to travel back in time and punch the ears off of that jackass who was scribbling shit here, claiming to be “master and commander of the internets.” Happily, I declare to that wretched Fly of 2007 that “I am, indeud, the only true and living master and commander of the internets.” Moreover, I can’t read too much of my old writings without getting a headache. I must have been hopped up on some plutonium powered mustard gas or some shit.

But the facts remain: yes, I nailed the crash of 2008-early 2009. And, yes, I nailed the reversal in 2009, making over 60% in ’08 and 90% in ’09.

All of that is besides the point I am trying to make. Sometimes, due to the inadequacies of  internet communique, my message gets drowned out by the sound of hookers howling in the dark. Most of you are not very sharp and often times get distracted by silly pictures and/or the hairs on your balls. You throw your entire life savings into the market and try to hit grand slams on a daily basis, as if this shit was little league with the bases loaded all the time.

As much fun as you may think I am having here, this is not a fucking game. I spend 18 hours per day studying ways to get better and it’s not enough. There are always trades that could have/should have been made and losses that should have been taken. The stock market is an exercise in imperfection, where one asshole is pitted against the other to see who’s worst. Every so often, a real winner emerges and he is lauded as the next Jesus Christ, thorned crown and all.

Aside from the jokes and the adolescent banter, I am trying to cultivate a culture here that cannot be duplicated elsewhere. A corporate work ethic with an independent/entrepreneurial spirit aimed at dominating the stock market, rendering all other financial sites/services obsolete. I’d like to think I have a solid staff of writers, who are able to navigate any market. But the truth of the matter is, some are better than others and some do not belong here at all. Remember: it’s work ethic and market prowess that is required, not once a week posts of how awesome you may or may not be. I will dip you in fire and spit out your liver (yes, I am chewing on it).

Having said that, I am interested in bringing on another blogger, or two, into the fold. I would like nothing more than to offer a tab to a responsible and professional trader, one who isn’t looking for fucking hand outs. Once again, if you’re interested, post your thoughts and trades in the Peanut Gallery. If you stand out, you might be selected. Most of iBC’s bloggers were chosen from that forum.

Finally, the markets are in the process of digesting recent gains. I do not expect much volatility in the near term and will stay long until proven wrong.

Day Ruined

Have you ever eaten a teevee dinner? Let’s take a turkey teevee dinner for example. You have the turkey, the dumbass potatoes, the chocolate cake and the cold, halfway frozen, peas and carrots. That’s what you are to me: peas and carrots. Don’t act like you are the chocolate cake; cause you’re not. My whole day is ruined, thanks to late day reversals in SOHU, MOTR, and PWER. It doesn’t matter that I was up on the day and these stocks made me money. The fact of the matter is, I hated the way they closed.

Therefore, as a result, my whole fucking day has been ruined and I will not begin to lament over how stupid those stocks are for selling off.

My largest position, OXY, did great, closing near the highs. However, I really had my heart in SOHU, MOTR and PWER.

Fuck the three of you, backwards, sideways, and every which way but loose.

Dramatic Ugly Pinless Hand Grenade Action

Zerohedge ran a story on TSTC and the stock is down 30% on that news! On face value, the story seems to be well thought out and coherent. But to drop it 30% based upon unsubstantiated internet jargon? Holy shit these Chinese stocks are snowmen in the Amazon. Taking the other side of that story, without having one single fact, I’d be very careful taking the advice of anyone, like ZH, who has an ax to grind. As you well know, the only ax I have to grind is on the heads of my enemies.

The market just vomited up all of its gains, led down by CRE and retail. However, to be fair, many sectors and stocks are still green, especially mine. Thus far, 2011 has been one giant jerk-fest. We’ve been unable to go anywhere, up or down. The thing that worries me about this type of action is that it is accompanied by euro-trash debt worries. Nonetheless, Mr. Bernanke and his perverted friends have our back. Like I said before, like organized religion, it takes a little faith and a lot of crazy to believe in this shit. I will have you know, “The Fly” has all of the prerequisites, and MORE, to qualify as a cult leader for this market.

Try not to get sucked into fucked up vortex’s, as this type of intra-day bullshit tends to coincide with epic headfakes. I am not basing my investment philosophy over 1-2 hours. I fully accept losses and expect to get some wrong. But at the end of the day, I win at a criminal rate and there is nothing you or your stupid friends can do about it.

Auto Buy

I am trying to brain wash all of you, by purposely blacking out all of the negative news stories from my commentary. Take it from the guy who gave back over $5million on a VXX trade gone awry last year, all that matters is what’s in front of your face. For the past few months Chinese Lottery stocks have been getting poleaxed, until recently. Expect the shares of Chinese fuckery stocks to take-the-fuck-off, going into Chinese New Year’s. The year of the rabbit will bring splendour [sic] and decadence to the rural farmer who tossed his life savings into the lottery aka the Shanghai composite.

Names like NTES, SOHU, SINA, PWRD, CAAS and EJ are cheap. In addition to that, names like HRBN, JST and PUDA will splish and splash all over the place, making people rich and poor in the process. You simply need a little guidance and mathematical precision (think PPT).

Shares of MBI are taking the fuck off, alongside a host of many others. Former bankrupt entities are all the rage, take a peak at AIG and SIX lately. And, let’s not forget C, CIT, LEA, GM and BCS.

No one loses, at least not now. If you are still short the market, all wrapped up in burlap, you need to have your head examined. I don’t like what’s going on. But my job entails navigating the market to make money, not making a stand based on ideology.

Get past the emotion.

Top picks: UTA, SOHU, MOTR, HRBN, GTE
