All Eyes on China
I hate when people write or say “all eyes on ‘XXX’”. Therefore, I just wrote it.
I am 40% cash, heavily long ag through LNN and MOS, with side dishes of CPST, EXK, RBCN and DMND. I’d like to say “the dick guillotines are rolling out into the city square, preparing for usage.” However, no one even knows where Bernanke keeps those things anymore. Besides, it’s summertime and Europe is as stupid as ever.
To put it bluntly, the fate of western markets lies in the east now, with tonight’s GDP numbers coming out of China.
Until then,
Ciao

Annoying and trite, yes. But, for sheer clumsy and arrogance there is the Putinese, Do svidaniya!

Your ability to escape the filter is, for lack of a better word, amusing.

But nice symmetry as you started and ended with something you find annoying.

Me too. But I am long the Chinese bureaucracies ability to lie, cover up, and sell the story. Also long American investor stupidity in buying their garbage stocks.

Stupid bubble. I expect a – 10% read on GDP… but instead it will be +8% just because they said so.

Summertime in Europe. They take the month of August off. But it won’t hurt their productivity much.

When the current FOMC operations cease, longs will be begging for more QE. Until then, enjoy dragging that bag full of dicks.

I’m sure China’s GDP numbers will be fine. Even, and perhaps especially, if China’s true GDP numbers are not fine.

Tomorrow is after all Friday the 13th. Who the flip knows how many superstitious traders there are? Chinese superstitious?
Just sayin’………

The world seems to be on the edge of collapse. Unless the Bernanke can cross-over from monetary to fiscal stimulus, we are fucked.
Quite honestly, even QE3 would only have a sharp, but muted and limited-duration impact. Money is fucking free at this point…making more of it available in theory, but without putting it into pockets in practice, is only a short-term trading event at most.

Fly,
Just got back from Turks and Caicos. Great time! Amazing food. Coco Bistro was phenomenal, and Bay Bistro/Caicos Cafe were stellar. Villa del Mar is most definitely the place to stay. Thinking about going back again next year.
Best beach in the world.
Try 3 br apartment at The Tuscany. It is boss.

I hate that especially because as soon as that news comes out, within seconds there’s a knob writing “now all eyes turn toward…”
It’s a farce.
