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.

    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.)

      Can always disavow current currency, and repeg. Not unlike peso.

      Wait. That’s the goal!

      SDR’s here we go. You’ll have to find the letters USD somewhere on the note.

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

    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.

    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.

    Celebrate Romney’s win over the pinch-faced Santorum with your finest local boxed wine.

    Especially if that shit was up 15% today!

    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.

      I think you may have stumbled upon something…

      When they devalue the crap out of the dollar, they’ll issue a new currency, “the Dollat.”

      It’ll be all the rage, to hollah for yo dollah-T!
