It’s funny how I go through radical, irrational, mood swings, regarding the status of my job. Most people that I know would literally saw off one of their arms to make the type of money that I do in a given year, yet I feel as if it’s the stupidest job on the face of the planet, monotonous rabble in a world up to its ears in feces. I get to listen to all sorts of sub-humans discuss their brilliant ideas, day in and day out, ad nauseam, until I almost start believing in them. I’m getting stockholm syndrome sitting at this desk all these years and I’m not better for it.
Let us gawk at the market, every second of it of every day, with hopes of picking the right set of stocks at the right time, before all hell breaks loose, so that we might finance ourselves with the aims of self-aggrandizement.
When the trend breaks down, instead of being constructive about the price action, let us surrender to base human instinct and run for cover, letting fear dominate our emotions–leading to catastrophic losses. When prices rip higher, let us allow greed, envy, and gluttony replace reason, taking outsized risks, not because we need to, but because we want to.
While you’re doing all of that, take a selfie and post it on Facebook so that all of your non-friend friends can like it and tell you how awesome you look.
Momo stocks still suck though.

I’m finding some entertainment watching these people with 6 figures “invested” in OCT penny stocks.

Army’s hiring, though the feelings of dread and constant futility are largely the same. Cheers for the “Bronson” pic – awesome movie.

… on a lighter note … Kentucky vs. Louisville tonight !
Somewhere out there Jake Gint will be glued to the teevee
MOMO is back!
Push every bear you see over a cliff!
VIX is low and dropping even with the Momo slop.
A sure sign we are in a healthy multi-year bull market
@Fly, you change peoples’ lives for the better. The knowledge, wisdom, and entertainment you provide seriously guides people to a better place both financially and personally. Sorry to get sentimental (no homo), just know that your work extends way beyond your trade desk, sub-humans and the feces. 🙂

Thanks…now I will have this stuck in my head all day… http://blog.on.com/but-first-let-me-take-a-selfie/
Day is getting ugly. Yikes.
So Good.
Nice day for us Bears, We NEVER get any anymore. You know, Many Coal Prices are at 2009 levels, I judge the world growth by coal. Market is one huge manic bubble at this point, I thought SPX 1755ish was the highest it could get…bubbles are amazing. FWIW, this is Abstract Art, not a Job. Picking Stocks is the easy part, figuring out Macro Central Bank/Govt Action is imho sooo hard. Every time I think they are thru, someone surprises me.
This is fun….a lot of fun.
Always has been…Always will, no matter what direction.

hedges on SALE, SPLK and FEYE off, lets rip
I hear ya Fly… sometimes I feel like quitting my job and becoming a garbage man or landscaper.
Both nice
I ‘hate’ this country. Until. Normalcy returns. Everyone ‘knows’ our stock market isn’t reflecting reality. For bullshit to be gone. All i ask
I agree!! Its been a fake market for four years now. the crash is coming.
Glad you hate this country.. We hate you too. Now go back to your cave in Afghanistan.
Residence in NY and FL you twit.
You can’t read between the lines? When I say I “hate” this country “right now”?
I will get my way. I will get to see everyone get crushed while I profit.
I do this for a living too. (20 years now) My fingers are a nub and they constantly bleed. stress is a bitch.
Everyone is an emotional trader in this environment. Eventually, it ends or you end.
Elevator down, anyone? Seems like a good time to take some risk off to make the weekend a bit more relaxing, don’t you think?
Buying $GME here hand over fist.
Wow, dip and rip for sure!
pinch explosion
Trading is essentially a battle between preservation of our emotional self and the abolition of self.
Even then, a win is never a win ’cause we are forever flip-flopping between the two…
We all know we’re closing red.
Red, green, whatever, Just as long as we close.
