MIND YOU, THE RALLY ISN’T QUITE OVER YET

Longs enjoyed clawhammers to the skeleton today, as the market reversed sharply lower from its highs. Here in the whimsical world that is “The Fly”, I was obliterated in MWW and took a punch with SODA. But my losses were completely offset by gains in FSLR, DMND, GSVC and SFLY. I realize you are all betting against me and pray to half-horsed demons to bring about my downfall; but I am not like you. My inventory runs deep and my holdings are pristine.

As of late, I’ve been getting quizzed by some of the mezzo cito about my holdings, followed up with lowly remarks. I post every single buy and sell here and my portfolio, in its entirety, is listed inside The PPT–accompanied by time stamped transactions–for the explicit purposes of transparency. If you are unable to read every single post on this place of industry, do not feel it to be your right to question what I am doing. Always know, “The Fly” runs hot, very, very hot. Things worthwhile today might be discarded tomorrow. In my opinion, stocks are nothing more than conduits to make money on directional trades, long or short.

We should trade lower; but we will likely trade up. The Federal Reserve is very much interested in reflating until they can reflate no more.

As you devour healthy deep fried hamburgers and slices of breaded pizza, be cognizant of the Clam, for he is bearded and wins often.

    I have been told I run hot as well. I always thought it was because I usually begin to sweat mid conversation.

    Fly, in keeping with Pleb Education (PE), you need to post some quality metal to accompany your posts ie. Every Time I Die, Dillinger Escape Plan, Megadeth, Trap Them, etc.

    I thought about the story too. Its narrative is flush with deceipt and greed, yet not devoid of empathy and twine.

    Some kind of rat poison is infecting the psyche that is Fly. He enjoys uninterrupted prosperity, and he doesn’t even run a MEGACHURCH.

    It’s a good thing. Understanding this is key.

    Did 3 chart based studies on why , exactly, you should be bearish at these levels

    http://chart.ly/xwl4wxj

    1. Bearish ascending wedge in Dow
    1. H and S in SPX:Vix ratio
    3. Volume.

    Fairly damning case

    Also cnbc’s resident serial killer/chartist agrees the dow is bearish here.

    I mean carter braxton worth has to be a serial killer. Why else does he have 3 names?

        The last time I saw chart patterns this clear, It called a move to SPY 130, when it was down at 116.

        http://chart.ly/8e7q3da

        And down there, I got flack for being too bullish. So I will gladly take criticism for being too bearish here

          Old Man Joseph Granville agrees with you, especially as to volume. He says we go down 4000 points this year starting now.
          Pay some respect to him as he makes many good calls. And a few crappy ones over the years.

            So a bunch of people who weren’t even around in 1981 are going to follow the call of someone who supposedly make a correct call 30 years ago…so you are sure he will be correct twice in 30 years???

            That’s some track record.

            I’ll wait for the 2041 call.

            I think granville’s 8000 Dow call is too extreme. Dow 9500 is probably as low as we go. And it will probably take until late august to even get that far.

            And even if we get to 9500 , it will be a damn choppy ride down. EEM emerging markets and VGK europe are too undervalued for a steep, or fast, crash

            Joe Granville was 100% WRONG in 1981.

            He was calling for a plunge to new lows August of 1981, when in fact that was the bottom at 759 on the Dow.

            Starting now?
            I am older than Joseph.. I’ve traded with Jesse himself..

            Joseph Granville is full of shit… you can take that to the bank…

            PS: I don’t make crappy calls… and if they look crappy – extend your timeframe .. lol

            If so, I hope Fly gives you a break on the age limit around here.

            Joe Granville has been making the same call and wrong for 30 years. He was right back in the 70’s for a while. Kinda like M. Robini lately or M. Whitney.

          I remember a triple-all in at Timothy Knight’s sight at an inopportune time, when you couldn’t possibly survive. You are an oddity looking for an audience, and copy/paste posts to several locations on the interwebs. Not sure what you are looking for. Me? I’m a sooth sayer says I.

      S&P is a red c*nt hair away from a golden cross. In fact, SPY already had one. Hard for me to be bearish here, at least over the next 3-6 months.

    We grind higher for the foreseeable future. The professional money is still underinvested and will continue to move into the market.

    January is almost done and has been a great month. February starts, statistically speaking, the best 4 month period of the year for the $RUT.
