Cautiously INSANE

Fuck the crash of 1987. I remember that day as if it was yesterday, running around my stupid apartment, dodging cockroaches. I was 11 years old in 1987, an avid investor in all things to do with baseball cards and the occasional football variety.

Some of you are well aware of the caution flags exhibited inside of The PPT yesterday and the day prior. I take get pride when saying “I am in possession of a time machine, gentlemen. Would you like to go for a ride?”

We’re coming off an OVERBOUGHT condition, flagged two days. My position is one of supreme elegance, spitting in the faces of those who are short VHC. My FFIV position is higher too; but everything else in my chambers is lower, decidedly so. Current cash position, following yesterday’s sales, stands at 15%. My best guess, based upon the non-negotiable laws of mathematics of the sublime nature, is for the market to head lower over the next 5-7 days, as prophesied inside of the halls of The PPT.

Just think Mr. Fly.
Back in ’87 you being a Mets fan, you probably had a Lenny Dykstra card and spent much time looking at the stats on the back while you were killing the roaches.
Now, in 2012 it’s Lenny Dykstra spending his time killing roaches.
A nice twist, I must say.

Things seem so unstable these days. 1% interest rates for what seems to be forever; a trillion dollars in cash sitting on the sidelines just waiting to do something; the gov’t pumping in billions of dollars more a day through QE and debt financing.
You get the feeling we are living on a knife edge and that it wouldn’t take much to send things completely sideways.
This is the kind of situation that could lead to hyper-inflation. There is too much money around.

This is hilarious. Most people who scream “Hyper Inflation!” haven’t the slightest idea what contributes to the hyper inflation scenario. Stop watching so much TV.

I’m glad I could lighten up your day.

By the way, I don’t waste my time watching garbage on TV. I prefer reading drivel written by idiots on the internet.

If you actually didn’t watch the garbage on TV the words hyper inflation would never be uttered. I’ll put my money where my mouth is that hyper inflation won’t happen. I’ll even let you pick the deadline. Tell me when it’s going to happen and i’ll take the other side of that bet instantly.

A: I learned that phrase by reading about Germany in the 20′s.

B: Operative word is “could”. If you want to wager, go buy some bonds.
