Come See the Wreck

I slept in this morning, so that I could avoid seeing the market open. I haven’t been getting sleep in weeks and I am beginning to feel burned out. I forced myself to stay awake to around 5amish, so that I wouldn’t wake up when the market opened. From the looks of the market, I might have missed the worst of it. But we’re not done with this nonsense. Since we haven’t reversed off the lows and jackknifed higher, there’s only one way to go: DOWN.

Why should we go down?

Why not?

It’s a Friday and scary things happen over the weekends. Why, there could be a war, a pestilence, or even another car recall!

I am glad to see utilities trading higher for the year, up 10%, while growing their revenues at 3% per annum. But their PEs must be cheap, right?

WRONG AGAIN.

The utilities suck and so do I.

Into the final 3 hours of trade, I look forward to riding my Four Horsemen of financial instability into the train tracks, to be run over by speeding locomotives.

    I’ve come here to pay my last and final respects to the space-alien magician known as The Fly.

    I’ve been sitting in my section 8 apartment waiting for your blog because I have nothing else to do other than go for walks back and forth to the coffee shop and pace back and forth and then going in and spending my ebt card on food. I fear many more will be doing this in the next 5 years.

        In March, portfolio was leading S&P by $20,000. I was euphoric! I should have known when I am euphoric, it is a big SELL indicator, hahahahaha! Anyway, though I hate the downturn, I still feel ok. Looking to buy some Chinese stuff again:: $BITA, $GOMO, $YY, $SFUN, $YNDX but don’t want to be too early and get killed.

          This is a controlled market and whoever controls it apparently wants it to go down. No amount of hoping and wishing is going to change that. It went up for years and didn’t correct even though technicals might have said it should. For the same reason, it will continue to go down. It will reverse when those who control it say so.

    Wake up. There comes a time when a manager can fall so far below that working to get back up above the high water market just isn’t worth it. Just isn’t worth playing the game if you have to come back from down 35-40%. Anything can happen in the short term in the market; stocks don’t have to bounce. This isn’t new info to most, but just throwing it out there.

      Don’t forget that -30% ytd requires a whopping 43% gain to get back to even.

When my mother died on the 21st October 1984, my father took me and my younger brother HASSAN! special because we are motherless.

    Before the death of my father on 30th June 2002 in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of $12.500.000.000 (Twelve Thousand Millions, five hundred millions dollars) left in a suspense account in a local Bank here in Abidjan, for trade and invest, that he used my name as his first Daughter for the next of kin in deposit of the fund.

    Sir, we are honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:

    1) To provide a Bank account or paypal where this money would be transferred to.

    2) To serve as the guardian of this since estate I am a girl of just 26 years.

    When asked during the debates if they would fire Bernanke the republican candidates said “I may look into it”. The press rubbed their hands in glee warning “the market will crash” heh heh heh.
    Well when Bernanke announces the end of QE, he is sharply rebuked. Two weeks later he says “QE will continue”. Two weeks later he was fired.
    The press buries the story.
