Doom is Always Right Around the Corner

I can’t seem to shake the feeling of impending doom. Twice this week I’ve dreamt about walking around in the snow, only to be surprised attacked by a polar bear. I mean, a polar bear? Really? My dreams must be relaying some sort of deep message to me, from the future, which is an undeniable truth: I am a psychopath.

Who cares anyway? We’re all pissing in the wind, hoping that it doesn’t turn back on us.

Futures are up around 6 S&P “handles” right now, as the prescient men in the futures pits declare “the bull market is back.” As long as Russia keeps their stupid tanks out of the Ukraine, we should rock back to new highs. The level of carnage imposed onto the shareholders of growth stocks will take some time to unwind. I expect people will keep selling into rallies, until we get a fresh class of investors into these names. My best guess: you’re gonna have to hold these names into earnings and hope for the best.

If FEYE smashes earnings, you will get a 15 point gap up.

For now, that’s all I have for you: a familiar feeling of doom coupled with the sort of carelessness that just might allow me to escape the latest drawdown unscathed.

    Why a polar bear? Due to the Senor Fly trading acumen. There must be a trade here.

    I have not commented in The Fly Zone in years, and I thought there is no better time to rise and SCREAM OUT LOUD than right now. Especially considering the fact that the last time I was active here, was when America was a razors edge from sinking into the shit hole. Guess what boys and girls … buckle up because we’re going back there sometime in the near future … but this time with a different ending.

    The Fed is trapped in a deflationary cycle that it simply cannot shake out of. The world governments and central banks are presently skull-fucking the global economy with printing & Quu-eee-ing … but no gawd damn inflation.

    Do not buy the crude and commodities bullshit. They’re all gonna crash like they did during the last debacle.

    The economic reset is here, and Wall Street is going to suffer like never before.

      What “deflation” is there that we can’t PRINT ourselves out of?

      Order the US Trasury to send all taxpayers a $5000 Check.

      Thats only $500 or $600 billion, and it will get SPENT pronto, driving prices up.

    The polar bear pic looks like a demon from hell. Back in the day(medieval or dark ages) the devil was blue. The coal black eyes and mouth of that polar bear are basically blue.
