I Hope You Enjoyed Today’s Trading Session

I’ve gone beyond the point of return, as I sit cravenly in a dimly lit room, glum and irritated by everything but the color of my shoes. The market is no longer my friend, but the archest of enemies. I approach it with cantankerous intensity, resolute in the firmness passed down to me from God himself. There isn’t anything that can make me acquiesce to the elements of evil. These demons who infect the stock market shall be exorcized and castrated in the public domain for everyone to bear witness, including children over the ages of 3.

Although I only ended down 0.35% for the session, the conviction of mean-spirited devil-dogs have boiled my eggs beyond reproach.

During this evenings repast, I intend to drink from the bottles of vine, nourishing myself with the nectar of the Gods, in an effort to revitalize my mind, body and soul for the battles ahead.

This message is sent to you with good intentions, but not meant as a form of financial advice– or an attempt to illuminate the shroud that cleverly covers all of those who are trading. I am only interested in bitter revenge, plainly. It will not be enough to recapture lost coin and repute. Someone must lose. In order to continue doing what I do on a daily basis, a sacrifice must be made. The blood of the sinful will sustain the tree of winship for generations to come.

This is far from over. As a matter of fact, we’ve only yet begun.

    At least you didn’t get yelped today.

    For me, the Great Losing Streak of 2012 continues unabated.

    I am going to drink profusely throughout tonight and into the morrow, and pray to The Bearded One that China announces some sort of stimulative action before the open Sunday night.

      I knew they wouldn’t let me down — China cuts reserve requirements on Saturday.

        Huggie, This is a very bad thing that you prayed for. PBOC as of a couple of days ago was talking that they didn’t need to do this. China Govt had been trying to do a reverse repo to avoid doing this. Everytime the China Govt lowers the amount that their banks need to hold in reserve, it weakens the banks themselves and IMHO, I noticed a direct relationship to the RRR cuts and drops in Foreign Investment Data (which makes sense). CPI data should actually start to increase soon (and this months number was actual above estimates), China Gov has gone in and started to support Hog Prices after a super big drop in prices, plus China has been having serve droughts again this year. This RRR cut out of Lame Duck, less then 5 months before the New Guys are announced, and concerns the heck out of me..not good at all imho.

          I wish I would proof read before posting, bottomline…CPI will continue to go up for the rest of the year and China Govt will see less Hot Money entering their country with this RRR cut. This RRR cut will just increase faster the CPI number and IMHO, China Govt will not get any benefit because the money their banks can lend will increase on Monday..but their Deposits will decrease and that is what they really need to keep up as this property bubble pops.

    I remember when I was with Special Forces… seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate some children.

    We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn’t see.

    We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember… I… I… I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out; I didn’t know what I wanted to do!

    And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it… I never want to forget. And then I realized… like I was shot… like I was shot with a diamond… a diamond bullet right through my forehead.

    And I thought, my God… the genius of that! The genius! The will to do that! Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure.

      In a war there are many moments for compassion and tender action. There are many moments for ruthless action – what is often called ruthless – what may in many circumstances be only clarity, seeing clearly what there is to be done and doing it, directly, quickly, awake, looking at it.

    It’s funny that you mention “devil-dogs,” as I was just thinking of that long-banned three-edition comic book villain “DevilDog” and his Iroc-Z DevilDog-mobile earlier today.

    His overall situation analysis of the economy was, in retrospect, more or less correct, and he bet accordingly to the short side.

    And then Uncle Ben riced him with his helicoptering ways, along with DD’s elderly daddy, whose portfolio he was managing.

    Not exactly a “spill some on the ground” kind of moment, but I do feel bad for the guy. This market gets a high price for hubris.

    Unless your initial are something like JPM.

    I am and will remain short across the board until I hear straight from that fiend’s lips that he is going to QE3. Not a day before. Not on rumors. Straight from the horse’s ass that it’s a done deal.

    This market needs a fix and QE is the only dope it will accept.

    Going to go nod off now. Have a nice weekend.

    This market will roast shorts in t minus 13 trading days. Watch AAPL for the lead. Nasdaq and large US high growth are like Secretariat hanging in the pack waiting. Nasdaq/mid cap growth/VNQ are beasts. Short: Europe, Long bonds, CRM/AMZN APOL ( covered this morning ) wait for 33-34 reshort. LPS is ripe. MBIA over 10 is a slam. My. Newest favorite LARGE short will be JPM on ANY and all bounces.
    Long. AAPL, RGR, VNQ, RFG, LVLT NUAN, QCOM VRTX/QCOR, SLV leaps and opened FIO/UBNT today. Net short with 80% in cash. Hold ARNA, FBT, IMUC AIS, CERS common

    My favorite part of the week?

    I would say it was GSVC’s follow-on offering of 2 million shares of crap, priced at $16.25/share.

    Greed is being redefined daily by the heathens of the market.

    Jaimie Dimon is gay.

      Next week will be “hint on” as it relates to QE3. Gold and Silver COT reports say so. FOMC next week could light the fire. If things are inexplicably up early in the week, my money is on that being the reason. If not, I still think we’ll get a turn on Wednesday.

    I don’t know about you boys and girls but things lately are making me very nervous. Maybe even nervous and jerky.

    The symptoms are starting to show more all the time with things like JP Morgan and Chesapeake Energy and I wonder how many more companies are “out there” literally and figuratively, who have mismanaged, gambled, sold their souls to try and turn a profit. In a nonsensical way.

    Lotta smoke starting to show and where there’s smoke, there’s fire. I don’t think The Bernank’s hose is big enough to put out the next one.
