ENJOY THE RESPITE

You should all spend a lot of money to procure provisions and fine wine to celebrate the gift that Bernanke has bestowed upon you. This respite that you are submersed in will not last forever. I can promise you that AAPL will not go up $15 per day, everyday, until the end of your time here on earth.

No, what is in store for you is far worse than a mere correction. Pah, don’t chalk up your misfortunes to happenstance, small man, things occur methodically and you’ve made your bed. Very soon, you will have to sleep in it.

The insidious nature that is Greece will reverberate– and the crisis that tightly clenched your arteries in late 2011 will reemerge– this time for finality. Do not think for a moment that just because the EU said they’d lend Greece all of this money in exchange for submission that it’s a done deal.

Haven’t you seen the movie 300?

With the Greek economy spiraling lower, -7% on its GDP, it’s only a matter of time before the people take pitchforks to the heads of their leaders. When that happens, you will regret the day you were born, gayly pressed inside of a panini machine, long TNA because it reminded you of a perverted acronym.

SHAME ON YOUR HOUSE you vile creature of a man, beast of all beasts, barbarian of rocks and dirt.

Nevertheless, as an innocent spectator of the market, having 5% long, 3% short and 92% cash, I wish you well in the near term. My only request is that you cease and desist from agitating me with your bold ignorance. I will rack your brains with stovepipe for less!

    WOW Fly. You usually change your market stance if you think you might be wrong for even a day or two. You are as serious as a heart attack and you have my attention. However, watching this market with little in the game is messing with my head.

    Apple. LOL! It’s as if Apple controls the water supply and people are throwig every last doller at it. True it’s still growing. It still may grow into the TV market. It still may have it’s “own” economy in the apps market that is booming… but the chart makes me laugh.

    Apple is now worth 2 Google’s and a facebook.
    The market cap is the combined value MSFT, GOOG, NFLX, and THEN SOME!

    WTF

    Fly is right on with this one!

    Too much confident chatter from the internets.

    Greece will default, over a weekend so that we can digest it. Interestgly this Monday is a market holiday, and the next one is April 6.

    A default will trigger CDS event and QE will follow, and be embraced, as it was not American made, but is needed to protect America. LTRO will not ring fence it.

    Italy and Portugal to follow after that.

    The only reason I say this is that Greece has been doing what the EU has been asking for: Parliament passing measures, guarantees following elections, yet none of this has satisfied the EU. They dont want to fix this one.

      Greece has not been doing what they ask. They pass the laws then ignore them. Greece needs to work it’s way out of this mess or go ahead and default. Too much debt and not enough growth. It’s like a person, if you’re in debt you either get another job and pay your way out of it or you go banko and get out of it.

        bottom line is that it can be fixed and EU will not.

        if C is not spending G needs to fill the gap not much (X-M) an austerity measure will just kill Greece in the end. and therefore no growth. and if you dont control your currency your SOL.

        besides what the hell did the Greek parliament just pass? and Samras letter to EU?

        the greeks have been stepping up and saying they will follow through and now the EU doesnt want any part of it. Ergo DEFAULT forthcoming.

        So this is just buying time to position. EU keeps raising the bar so that it will not get fixed.

        Greece BK before the deadline, and equities dont have that priced in.

        Woo hoo… the value of their illiquid assets went up so they are taking out more debt against said assets.

        Where have we heard that before?

    Holding 92% cash for Le Fly must be like sticking his hand in the panini presser and closing on it hard.

    I want to say there was a scene in that Jason Statham movie — Crank? — about the guy that had to keep his adrenaline up or die, that had him doing that.

    Rolled out of AAPL calls into AAPL puts before lunch. My equity/option trading sytem is still up 100% YTD. A new bull has been born. BUY any Greek BS dip. Let them default they are a small POS that remains an excuse for the big money to scare the lightweight’s out of thier shares. AAPL will be @ 600 if a 2.5-3.0% divi is announced.
