Hard Facts and an Easy Trade

Let’s review, shall we?

We’ve enjoyed a terrific run, but Europe closed at 5 week lows.

Spanish and Italian yields are 7% and 6% respectively, aka “too high.”

The euro is hitting new lows, down in the $1.22 area.

Global growth has been stinted by the ongoing European crisis.

If you are like me, up near annual highs, despite the global doom, consider yourself fortunate and treat yourself to a vacation. You don’t have to travel to some island, dining on near-extinct animals and enjoying lavish gratuities. Sell out of your shit and take a break. The market is in the process of figuring out if it should give it all back, AND MORE, or run higher based upon the prospect of counterfeit money.

I will not pull any punches with you. As a matter of fact, I’m more inclined to offer you a full-sized punch to the nose, than care about your plights. However, since we are in this together, I will tell you what you need to be told.

TODAY IS NOT THE DAY. You shouldn’t buy this dip, for another one might be lurking around the proverbial corner.

I am in sell mode and will likely push my cash position to upwards of 50% by the end of the day. I do not care about missing out because I have already won. Therefore, I deem is paramount above all other things to preserve my gains until an easier trade arises.

Thanks for the heads-up – a prudent course of action for a thought process, which has proven to be…shall we say…a bit dated. It is my belief, that you may be a bit gun shy possibly due to your plush life-style and 20% YTD take down. Where’s the hunger? Where’s the fight? Average down into this shit.

I am taking your advice. Yesterday was my all time high, and I sold a bunch. Heading to the remote CA coast for the weekend. Thanks for YELP- trade of the year.

Fly – it just hit me that you began this post in the same manner that Alf would one of his comments – “let’s review, shall we?” Was that intentionally awesome subtle humor? Or just a freak coincidence?
