Dead End

I’ve been reaching out to my sources and searching my screens, far and wide, inside of The PPT. I cannot find a single stock worth buying. I am 25% cash (I sold my EL position) and eager to invest money. At the top of my list is MRVL and VHC. However, they’re both risky plays and I own enough. I cannot justify buying more of them when my cost basis is below the current trading price.

With the EL numbers, I am leaning towards a small position in SBH, especially since Mrs. Fly thinks it’s “heading to awesomeville.” She’s never wrong on her retail trend trades.

Other than that, I am in hold mode, waiting for something to happen. The great part about this business is something always comes up. There will be an event that will open the doors to opportunity. Sometimes the best trade is doing nothing, which is exactly what I intend on doing today.

Anybody that has known me since 2009 has known I have been obsessed on the SHANGHAI Copper Bubble, now I know why it happened (which was not the case in 2009). Just wanted to share some recent pics http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2012/08/14/1118271/chinas-literally-ground-breaking-copper-inventories/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

I like your previous comments regarding the change in the world with the rise of the smartphone. People that write software that works on a phone will do well, but, except for Angry Birds, I don’t see a real killer app out there.

Fly,

Check $AXL – whispers are saying there will be a bunch of buys coming online Thursday/Friday. Provides leverage to the housing recovery and looks good long-term (12-18 months) but I know you can’t hold that long. Institutional activity should provide a nice tailwind to end the week though.
