FULL LIQUIDATION MODE

Small caps are getting crunched, especially my IMMR position. I will buy more and bring the position back up to 30% of assets when the time is right. For now, I am waiting to see stabilization in TLT. The lower is goes, the more selling in the SPY.

I don’t have any positions that needed tending to, aside from IMMR–as I am 70% cash and have been before the sell off. Any meatloaf throwers in the comments section saying otherwise will be quickly discarded and banned from the league of gentlemen.

Don’t get upset and ponder as to why your stocks are careening lower. This is what liquidation looks like, fat margin clerks smoking cigarettes, selling out positions with reckless abandon.

A fantastic buying opportunity is right around the corner.

      My position is to wait for inflection point and play the long side only. I take this position because of the recent history of central banks intervening to prop up markets.

    Appreciate your insight. Do you think there will soon be buying opportunities in the banking sector or are they heading lower? Thanks

      I like HBAN. Other than that, I’d buy whatever is getting crushed.

      Names like WHR, LL look interesting today.

    And thanks to my partner, Mr. Partridge, for being there when I needed advice. I have been paying less attention to the market the past couple of months while I struggle through starting my new business but the Old Turkey is always there when I need him.

    “Meatloaf throwers” – LOL! Another classic ‘Flyism’ is born. I’m a “spaghetti with heavy sauce” against the wall thrower myself (no Oscar Madison)…

    Doctor Fly, Question on WETF: the Yen is not getting stronger, yet WETF has gone lower. Any thoughts?

      It’s due to their ETF, DXJ. Although outflows have stemmed recently, any downward pressure on Japan or if sentiment sours, people will sell DXJ and WETF will go lower.

    Fat margin clerks are twisted individuals who enjoy watching VHS tapes of M Night Shyamalan movies. They take solace in films like “The Happening” because it identifies with their only friends, allergies.
