Don’t Be Stupid

How dare you talk to me, like I am some sort of panhandler in the streets, begging for scraps of bagels! I informed you, whether you took the advice or not, that I sold out of my non-core positions because the market felt weak. And you have the audacity, the gall, to tell me that market is beating me because of my hubris?

You should be ashamed of yourself and this shame should last for 10 generations, staining your family name for the next 500 years.

I am very tempted to buy here. However, since I am on “vacation” and away from my data, I am just going to leave things the way they are until next week. I’d hate to start buying, then see the market down 5%. That would mess up my vibe.

Truth be told, it’s CHINESE LOTTO TIME again. Every single day another chinese stock hits the lottery for its shareholders. Today, that name is FFHL, up a modest 200%. WH is a sideshow, up a mere 35%.

I am compiling some names for purchase and will be ready to act soon. I might even nibble on some YELP before I head out.

UPDATE: I added to YELP in the $48’s

    Fly – Also notice the Argentine data. For some strange reason all of their stocks are running in the last 48 hours. Doing homework this weekend. Same as with China. Real estate, utilities and tech firms.

      China closed down last night after China Govt talked about closing down more production..Steels, Ore, etc were the lead dog down. I don’t follow Argentina, but I will look into it. But, China is not giddy at all.

          Argentina is now up to a 13.25% interest rate and Soybean, Oil to Brazil and China..ouch..we have slowdown in China and they get into big problems. Well with that spike up in the Interest Rate this year, they may already be in big trouble.

    I agree with the post in general.

    One note about FFHL. Its price rise is more justified and not result of a “frothy” market. They are auctioning off a piece of the company following the CEO’s arrest and bids are coming in around $5/share.

    It’s bad – what’s happening with miner’s right now is only partly related to PM. NUGT is about to reverse split, so there is a ton of cover and also buy going on, thus driving the underlying derivatives and stocks crazy. If you’re a senior or junior miner – you do not control your stock price.

        I’m not bitter I promise, I love Lord Fly, why I read every day and have since day 1. I am just combobulated (sic) with respect to the affairs of King Obama and the Fed’s ability to recreate the largest ponzithon in our history. When this thing vortexes in the next couple years, I will come back as SAM (Space Alien Magician) with my swing trading a la Doc Hollywood . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoA89ACTflk . I have two kids and a family business to keep afloat.. Trying to be a good family man like the Fly.

          So then why come here and talk smack about one of my positions on a day when the market is down 200?

          Sounds a bit vindictive

    Hi Fly! I am with you on the YELP! Started a small position at 48.5.
    Willing to by more at lower prices, but also willing to cut it out for a quick 5-10% gain. Market is getting a little dangerous here.

    I debated buying more Yelp with cash today, but elected to seed Biotechs. There’s cheap quality, and frankly, there may still be more downside in YELP. If the market hears 77 PT, and the market is soft, they’ll chase it to 38 just for binary 100% ROI

        No, it’s far from too late. In fact, we might not even be out of the woods officially until we claw back above $1430.

        That said, I think $1350 was a big hurdle to clear, but I DEFINITELY think we’ll get a retest of that level.

        I sold a bunch of NUGT calls this afternoon. Keep your powder dry, your opportunity will come..

          Thanks. You know I got RGLD 84 and rode down. I just didn’t have guts to buy more from 39 to here,,,, traumatized. Still I want to buy more though.
