Celebrate the Dow 13,000
Things I don’t like:
Refiners are trading like shit again and oil is getting smashed over the past two days. However, the market has been going up on oil weakness, which is nonsensical. Basically, the indices go higher no matter what. Generally, stocks look tired. Solar stocks broke out today because of the China subsidy news. But if you were long solar over the past month, you got your fucking brains kicked in.
Auto stocks and banks are looking good, as well as retailers. But volatility is basing out, fuckface. It’s done going lower and a storm is brewing.
LTRO is the stupidest shit in modern finance. It is barbaric and it will end in absolute failure. You can bank on that.

Can I retire now since the Dow closed above 13,000?

LTRO is fucking dumb.
And as capital flows along a path of least resistance, Spanish and Italian governments and banks keep piling on the debt.
Governments issue debt.
The banks buy their own governments bonds. And then use them as collateral at the ECB.
Shit. The whole thing will end in war. IMHO.
Or we just keep tacking on zero’s to the end of balance sheets. (Just promises to pay. LOL.)
Evening entertainment.
Pal vs Mother
Husband: What’s for dinner Mother? (Wife: Mother of your children)
Wife: What did you say?
H: What’s for dinner Mother?
W: Did you just call me Mother?
H: silence
W: First of all I’m not your Mother!! Secondly, get your own fucking dinner!! Who the Hell do you think you are calling me Mother?! (door slam)
wtf?

China isn’t gonna support non-Chinese auto makers even if they mfg in China … Protectionism works for socialized-capitalism.

Geez, Tea, did you even read the piece?
It’s talking about the Chinese government’s purchases of cars, not any governmental restriction on purchase of foreign cars in the country.
When was the last time the U.S. government bought outside the Big Three? That’s not protectionism, it’s politics.

I stopped reading The Economist when they started with this “Protectionist” labelese [sick to stomach].
Why punk you, yes!
If my tax money is going to a government that doesn’t “protect” me, family, friends, community and nation, why do I pay you!
Helping other nations MAY BE aspirational. Ensuring our 1) sovereignty and 2) advancement SHOULD be top priority.

They are trying to support a dying domestic auto industry just as we did with GM & Chrysler … that’s the point.
Reply
But domestic carmakers such as SAIC Motor, FAW Group, Great Wall Motor Co Ltd and Chery, which produce extended-wheelbase cars, could get a boost from the policy.
“It’s good that we’re getting some support from the government,” said Victor Yang, spokesman for Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. “But we should be counting on ourselves, not the government, to improve our competitiveness.”

Thanks for clarification. I’m tired of trying to hit $F and $GM earnings tho.

The trend is your friend … getting a bit too difficult for most to stick with it IMO, and most retail investors just don’t have the balls. The IIs are still buying the minor dips. This will continue until it doesn’t.

Since insensitivity is almost unknown on this blog, lemme axe youse’all:

Although when I look at the national debt, the unfunded liabilities size, the derivatives market, etc I feel like it still has more of the world to take over.
Next step, 1 trillion… LOL!

I think I’ve finally had enough politics for the year. While watching Calista and Newt on TeeVee, Newt called himself “the Professer” [sic]. Oh so now we have Newt as “the Professer” [sic], Calista as Ginger, Ric [sic] Santorum as Gilligan, Ron Paul as “the Skipper”, and of course Mitt Romney as Thurston Howell III.

Negative real yield…

Stocks are going up because gold is at all time highs and real yield is negative, so there is no other option.

What’s the point of any news at this point? Mkt rallying on consumer confidence is the biggest fucking joke of all…wasn’t it consumer (over)confidence that got us into the 2008 mess in the first place? ANY news now and mkt screams..
CNBC: “Neighbors dog seen licking balls”…. mkt rips up 275 points. “I new he could do it”, says Buffett.

You know EVERYONE is calling for a rally on the euro on any amount of LTRO, if they take a small amount then Banks better, if they take a lot then more global liquidity. FWIW, when everyone is in a Win/Win can’t loose position..it doesn’t come out well. I so hate this…and the Clam on the Hill too.
