This Market Lacks Inspiration

I am just sitting on a pile o cash, doing nothing but watch the paint dry. The tape, although higher, lacks the style and pizzaz that I’m used to. I just don’t feel like doing anything, long or short. Some of my friends are heavily short, looking for a crash. But I think that’s “wishful thinking” and this market will continue to mark time, grinding investors into dust and snorting them up with long straws.

Am I supposed to buy these shooters with real money? I need to own liquid names that can absorb a million dollar ticket without jarring the share price. Therefore, it goes without saying, I am patiently watching, trying to decipher the clues, almost desperate to find a good name to buy in size.

    If paper gold is worthless and bringing the physical gold price down but physical gold is being bought at record volumes what does this mean for the miners?

    ANV Dec options are on fire. does this mean that miners are going to be turning around near term?

    Fast Money was talking about gold a bit ago saying that it would be close to a bottom now and as crazy as it sounds, could be a good time to dip a toe in.

    Dr. Fly, while you wait for this market to show some more vigor worthy of your attention, perhaps simply pull down the African war mask from the trophy wall and just wear it for a little while. See if anything happens…

    Life insurance companies may get stronger if interest rates start to rise.

    “I just don’t feel like doing anything, long or short”

    hmmmmmmm

    there are three positions in the market – long, short and out

    and they take equal amount of research and effort

    doing nothing is a position

    doing “something” is just gambling

    just saying …
