Now that we’ve established the margin clerks are in charge, people are confused. I see the talking heads on my television recalling 2011, 2008 and even 2000. They cite PE similarities between now, and of course 1929. All of this theatre, this song and pony show, is a prerequisite to find a market bottom.
The next phase of this market will be to establish, as fact, that we cannot go higher, as it is physically impossible, before getting a “final flush.” Cramer is sure to come on the television and request one for his buddies who are short WDAY.
“We need a final flush. We need a final flush. We need a final flush.”
We need it, so that we can buy cheaper stocks, only to run them back up to all-time highs again. In a sane world, people would dismiss such frantic cat calls as “foolish” or even “manipulative.” I won’t drive this point into the ground anymore, as the market has always been this way and will continue to be this way for as long as it trades.
Just make sure you have enough staying power, which means NO MARGIN and a lot of patience, in order to wade through the mud.

We have not had a really proper big down day in my short memory…..people forget what blood really even looks like.
The SPY looks almost exactly like it did before the tank in Jan. Whatever that was could come back. The fuckery tho. Skeptical it happens before the end of the quarter if at all.
Demonstrating reckless avarice, I’m long YELP here.
Yelp could bottom at $25
It very well could. It also could hold this huge channel going back to May 2013 and/or bounce off this 38.2% fib extension.
I dislike everything about YELP as a company — its philosophies, model, everything — but am trying to pick up a few bucks ahead of a potential steamroller.
And … fuck it, I’m out. Probably bottom-ticked it, but I’m going flat in most names.
I will be making my WINNING trades on my IFON all around town drinking Green Juices and wondering why Rothschild killed those 4 Chinese fellas (No Diego Garcia) to gain full control of the Freescale Semiconductor patent (More Blackstone).
I realize there is a lot of pain in particular sectors, but if I have it correct SPY is <2% off its all time high. Doesn't seem like grounds for panic.
Perfect cover pic. Exactly how I feel right now.
ring ring…
Jim, this is Ameritrade calling.
Why no hedge?
Margin clerks are done in FEYE. For now.
Traders crapping the beds at Cramer’s Hotel will signal the bottom. Leave some froth in the closet for Stephanie Link as well.
MOMO!

The selection of pics displayed on the site has really improved!
Not sure if I am just imagining the change, but either way I like it the creativity.
thanks. When I lose money, my creativity soars.
16 of my 20 picks down-yikes -no
margin though
market still within 2% of all time highs
That is what scares me.
jesus, that is a scary thought
.
NAZ and Russell both closed BELOW their 55 day EMAs today ! fwiw
.
Sooner or later this would have happened and this is a good season for this.
Happy sitting tight.
so why keep buying
+68% 2013
-9% YTD
I lost over 2k a day for like 5 days before I capitulated.
Leverage gets you both ways
Was up almost 10% by end of Jan ’14 too that’s why this market is so fucking frustrating I could have just stayed cash and went on Vaca
Nice to see I’m not alone with my return numbers. Similar 2013 and up 10% two weeks in to this year. Now I’m afraid to look.
feye has nothing showing this as going up..or you just doing this for entertainment purposes?
I buy when you sell.
Like OA sad last week, people are selling into strength so no sense being subway semen.
Gold downmarket is down. WTF
How the hell is this happening?? It feels like there has been a 10-15% correction yet theater is still within 2% of highs. Weird
Something could be coming. Stimulate from eurotrash or china is the rumor. A brutal momo shakeout usually tanks the indexes as well.
ppt oversold signal coming soon?
not yet

“NAZ and Russell both closed BELOW their 55 day EMAs today !!!”
