Good to See the Pain Back So Soon

After yesterday’s rally, I was worried that my dear friend, pain, would be gone. It’s so good to see that it decided to cancel its trip and stay with me a little longer.

The Dow Jones is up around 3, but the NASDAQ has been afflicted by late stage aids, and is off by 37.

Most of my stocks are down 4 points. It’s quite nice, actually, all uniformed and very disciplined in their synchronization.

Whatever good will that was built by yesterday’s rally has been completely and utterly destroyed within the first hour of trade here, so it’s back to the drawing board, where I will try to figure out ways to blow myself up, while making it look interesting. See, if I simply go down, that’s no fun at all. However, if I can make it look like a fair fight, see me ebb and flow, kick and punch, well, that’s a spectacle.

Prognosis: more pain, immediately.

    Fuck this, were is the Rush video.
    Most of my high beta stuff is in my gambling account, I’ll watch it go to zero before I sell here.
    Going out on a limb here but today/tommorrow marks a real tradeable low in this crap. We rip into April expiration.

    Stock “synchronization” is actually a beautiful thing (like synchronized swimming) and should be a technical tool like MACD.
    Yes, I do believe you have coined a new technical tool for the stock fortune tellers.

      too bad they are “synchronized” on the upside… Naz now down 67, looks like we are well on the way to another 100+ down day, 2nd in a week.

    Fly, I’ve been a reader of this site since around 09. Your writing is some of the funniest stuff I’ve ever read. I send your posts to non-stock friends and they love it.

    If it is not already in the works, I hope you find time to write books.

    Looking forward to more moustaches punched off here at ibankcoin also.

    Thanks for doing this.

    Good idea to sell calls near the money in some of these names…(I like FEYE) the owners of these stocks have shown their hand – and it is weak. But the implied volatility is sky high, tough to long puts here…

        By the way, Balboa’s strategy is ‘brilliant’, kinda like, I’ll let you unload your shotgun into my face 15 times, then when you get tired of blasting me, I’ll decide to fight back. A bit like the Cap’n, no?

          -and just like Rocky’s insane strategy that can not work but does, the ‘FLY’ usually comes out alive and back at the end as well.

          It’s interesting how so many try to imitate Fly’s humor in these comments, but NO ONE is able to pull it off —
          only Fly can be funny like Fly —
          Find your own style of humor
          It looks easy to imitate but it ain’t

      +1 great perspective… I’ve said it before, you will look back a year from now and smile…. one thing I know for sure, bears hibernate. long term, many of these stocks the Fly has pointed out are steals. sure maybe tomorrow you can buy them cheaper, or the next week… but a year-2-3… you’ll wish you held them.
