Snatchin’ Chains into the Bell

Once again, the bears got mugged on a day when they were supposed to do the mugging. This afternoon, I was cornered at gunpoint, by a burlap’d bandit, then separated from my money and jewels. As the assailant made his way into the escape vehicle, about 3:30 pm, I flashed my Desert Eagle on him, took my shit back, and relieved him of his chain.

Basically, that’s what the market has been reduced to. Somebody is getting robbed on a daily basis. Damn straight it’s not gonna be me.

For the day, I was up another 0.6%, putting my year to date gains just under 5%.

Yes, today was bullish as fuck. My beard is thick and my demeanor bitter, one day before my birth date. Tomorrow will be the day the bears lose their Nike Air Jordans and goose down coats–a gift of sorts from the stock Gods to Senor Tropicana.

Watch it.

    I’m sick of this shit. I will be content to linger in TLT, and other Metamucil names.

        today it was, but not when Merkel is screaming NEIN, NEIN, NEIN! Tomorrow is Friday, unless we get some seriously awesome news, no one wants to be long going into the weekend.

        Looking at TLT and using CBOE’s TYX as a quick guide, you’ve got to figure that the long bond pricing is going to soften once there’s anything definite on Greece. TLT looks like it could settle into a 113-116 trading range, but, seeing as it’s recently had no problems supporting 2008 crash levels for extended periods, there’s every reason to scrutinize this ETF a bit more.

    a new ipo u may be interested in, as americans becoming more appearance minded,this new company helps young aspiring moms to keep there shape, think of it no more stretch marks no more morning sickness. no need to by bigger clothes. no messy water breaking. this astonishing chinese co. stops the need for all of that! its called (woob) wooms to go! this small start up is just what the dr. ordered. (disclamer: some children may have slanty eyes, and have a jaundice completion, also may excel in math,and have a tendency to eat your cat.)

    I dunno how you can look at that market action and feel bullish. I don’t know how I can look at that market action and feel bearish. No one can wait three days, so the final battle has to be tomorrow.

    I think the Plunge protection team is more dangerous ultimately. Lulling people into thinking things are ok. You need something to stem panic to some degree (unfortunately). But to think that another leg higher is coming because they put money in at the end of the day?

    My favorite overused phrase. End of the day

    Market will open up 20 handles on Tuesday and then rip another 20 leaving bear shitters in the dust and kill the shorts. But if you are weak and scared sell all your stocks tomorrow.

    The two best shorts on my radar are TLT (LOOOONG bonds) and FXY. WTF is the deal with the Yen????? The Japs make Greece look like a swiss bank. Why is it not getting shaken down by the global hedge fund wolf pack??

      While I like some of your positions, why are you short TLT when it is breaking out and the German Bund is at record low. Wouldn’t you be better off waiting for a reversal vs picking a bottom in bonds. Keeping in mind
      the smart $ has “usually” followed bonds…

        and when the euro becomes a memory, money should flow into TLT ,looking at the $spx 5yr chart /month bias not looking good no matter what the bulls say

    Wide… It is clear you have not been to Japan lately.

    Also, most of Japan’s debt is held by the Japanese – not China or the EU.

      dffapa wrote of Japan’s debt:
      it doesn’t make a difference who owns it. It still has to be paid

      To the contrary, it makes a big difference that Japan’s debt is mostly owned by Japanese taxpayers.

      If Greece were to pay down its debt (hypothetically speaking, of course), most of the money would be sent out of the country. The Greek taxpayers (all 5 of them) kiss the money goodbye. Not so with Japan.
