Irrational Exuberance Again

So the market is going straight up in 2012, led by bank stocks and miscreant solar energy plays. Everything that destroyed capital in 2011 is now replenishing the vaults with new coin in 2012. With the proceeds, Wall Street will be buying vintage wines and exotic animals to be cooked and served at private dining gatherings. Men of industry will buy their wives and mistresses earrings adorned with FL to IF rated diamonds, as the pedestrian VVS1 variety are cast aside for the help to pawn off for petty cash.

A new Gilded Era of decadence and oversupply approaches– only for the people in a position to profit. All others, namely government and non-executive class, will be used for cheap labor to further enhance the EPS of fortune 500 companies.

As you sit there, in sheer amazement, wondering how you will spend all of the money you are going to make–remember to hire private security because the savages on the outside looking in will be tempted to hog tie you and hold your limbs for ransom. Aside from that, enjoy the splendor that is Obamanomics and get ready for the biggest stock market rally the world has ever seen.

    From “Rick Ross” to this; only from Le ‘Fly’…

      Personally, I was deeply distressed to see the last several posts featuring tuneless, aggro claptrap from hip-hop degenerates. You simply can’t listen to such garbage whilst properly attired in top hat and tails, consorting with gentlemen of refined tastes and means. Symphonic and chamber music is the only appropriate accompaniment for Le Fly’s musings. Rick Ross is better suited to gutter-dwelling city rats, gunning each other down for sport in garbage-filled, graffiti-encrusted alleyways.

        I agree. But you must understand that when I play Rick Ross, I am doing it for the favor of the working class and the low level execs at IBM.

        When I play this sort of music, it is for the executive class here on iBC.

        Ricky Roset has his own banner on ibc. No small feat. Rick Ross is for hood rats and scoundrels; myspace and black planet users. He is the voice of a generation and his deliberate message penetrates even the highest of social orders.

        I love his shit. Who else am I going to listen to when I roll up on the block in a drop top chicken box.

        Fly, can we get some Nas in the near future or maybe some ODB to really piss off these old readers?

    SOL is another one of those Chinese burritos that I own. Although it was up a whopping 30.81%, I’ll have to hold this one a lot longer and hope for a lot more gains just to break even on this one. Considering the Markets were close to flat today, I still managed a respectable 1.89% gain today! PWER, SOL, CVI and GLW were my biggest winners.

    I have to agree that there is nothing rational about this market or world economics at this point. That being the case, the market will in treuth, go up, until such a point that the insolvency of all of Euroland can no longer be denied.
    Carnage will probably be the mildest word which could be used to describe what comes after that. Nothing will be left standing when the bond boys decide to pull in their horns and buy no more debt.

    Oh….and another prediktion for 2012. 0bama will indeed retain the Oval Office at the end of this year but not through normal elections. Those will be suspended when he decrees martial law after Europe collapses this summer.

    On another note; some governmental entity of no identity recently fenced off about 2000 acres just north of my humble adobe for use as a new sniper training course/range. Rather disconcerting….

          Well… .

          I guess the Republicans, you know, like Lincoln, for example, could’ve just left people on the plantations.

          Or, as Justice Tawney (D.) so eloquently handled the Slaughterhouse cases, the slave was a property right.

          Funny how in last few decades the Democrats now turn to lecture Republicans on “inclusive” think.

            You can’t claim Lincoln as a Republican since the party changed with the inclusion of racist southern democrats after LBJ pushed through civil rights. The Republican party of today is not Lincoln’s Republican party. Are you really this stupid or is it just ignorance of basic American history?

            Al, sorry to gore ya, but if you were to open any book, even at your 8th grade reading level, you would recognize A. Lincoln was a Republican.

            Now. Before you try to read again. Be sure to cease and desist from your narcotics consumption.

            Also, how does telling me an unelected Democrat (federal level) telling Democrats (state level) to stop lecturing Americans add an inch of reason that Republicans are to blame?

    EOW Daily Recap:

    “The early pullback today registered the fourth pullback for the current rally from the SPX 1202 low in mid-December. The next rally, above SPX 1296, would create 9 waves up from that low and a potential conclusion to Minor wave 3. Minor wave 1 was also 9 waves up. Should Minor 3 equal Minor 1 the SPX could hit around 1310 before any sizeable (larger than 20 points) pullback.

    Should Minor 3 conclude around that level a 38.2% retracement could create a Minor 4 low around SPX 1269.

    Then Minor wave 5, to higher highs, should end this uptrend from the November SPX 1159 low. Lots of coulds and shoulds, but just trying to etch a potential roadmap for the next several weeks.”

        Actually been doing some chatting on my other interest … The Celtics. But since their fate is out of my hands now (I tried to tell Danny what to do) I’m back to my usual haunt.

      then you haven’t been paying attention to Tony … one of the best in the country and written up by some top fin’l mags. Hasn’t been wrong since I started following him when he called the turn from bear to bull … and back to bear again … Pay attention as he says we’re at inflection point and could turn bullish again though the odds are still very low save for an outlier as in QE.

    Not sure if I would call it Exuberance for overall market – after all volatility is down substantially, we have reasonable pops and consolidation… I would almost say: this market looks normal… don’t remember when it was last time 🙂
    You are right though about some sectors and some names – absolutely crazy, like solar, banks, biotechs and crap like BORN…
    This might become some record breaking January

    Tomorrow will say it all, when ECB and BoE do nothing, will the market go OMG they will act in Feb so we better buy, buy, buy or say screw you and sell down hard? We are at the neckline of the H and S pattern from 2011 and at the downtrendline from 2007 high, in a sense, tomorrow could be D day.

          Bullish…278 was the first level, and 404ish was the second level I mentioned in May 2010. Once the Vegas party is over I expect that we will again see a wash out of all those that bought at the top. IMHO, the only reason why AAPL did hit this stupid level was Fed Clam Action and the Clams around the world. Once that is done, we will collapse to the levels we should be at.

    The notion of irrational exuberance is why I dumped BAC near the close today. Might have been too soon and might miss a little more upside, but would rather leave some on table than see gains go away. Especially in a bank with serious and various problems still to sort out.

        BAC may be crap as you say, but it just gave me a nice 16% increase in about a month or so. At $5.15 the potential value outweighed the risk.

    The crux of your writing while sounding reasonable in the beginning, did not really sit well with me personally after some time. Someplace throughout the sentences you actually managed to make me a believer unfortunately only for a short while. I however have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and one would do nicely to help fill in those gaps. When you can accomplish that, I will undoubtedly be impressed.
