BACK IN HELL

All of yesterday’s hard fought gains have been wiped out in the first twenty minutes of trade.

We were treated to a worse than expected PMI number and then an atrocious set of housing numbers. Apparently, the recovery in housing has taken a back seat to a FULL FLEDGED DEBACLE in housing. This is all very fine and dandy. As the world turns, a barrage of egg yolk pies splash me in the face.

For the sake of arguing with all of you, dare I say, buy the dip? Well, if you’re not gonna buy the dip, perhaps you can at least think about it? Or, if you don’t want to think about it, maybe you could just jot it down on a scrap of paper and leave it on your desk somewhere?

Naturally, the Dow and the S&P are barely lower because they don’t build houses or manufacture stuff. All of our homes are built by high growth tech and biotech companies, now’er days. YELP and FEYE are huge in the California housing market and might need to lay off some workers into this downtick. Also, the fine folks at DATA must be up in arms over the PMI miss. I am sure their factory line workers will not appreciate the pink slips to come.

      I’d like to write a book one day, but a novel. It would have to be a most egregious subject and I haven’t been inspired to do one yet. Maybe when I’m an old man.

    What happened to the panic buying? I bet that wasn’t a Time Machine special. Bring back the old Fly, the one that’s in Romania, herding goats and such.

    Maybe the move to Jersey hasn’t been a good idea. The Staten Island Fly wouldn’t do revenge trading

    Hey Fatso, yesterday you put the chances of the market being uprooted before next week at 0%. According to this guy, the chances are 100%. http://www.seeitmarket.com/meaningless-market-noise-pullback-signal-16047/

            I don’t really care how fat you eventually become, just do yourself a favor, chubs. Puke FEYE if it breaks 45. Chart is broken, the secondary is ridiculous and you know it, and if 45 doesn’t hold we’re going to the low 30s.

    Glad to see all of the trolls back on the site. After 6 up days, I was worried you wouldn’t hold me accountable on the next down day.

    CNBC airing tech bubble segment, so “you’re” probably fine. I personally hope they all go to zero as that would benefit me, but I don’t like seeing you lose. If I had to choose though, I’d have NQ at zero.

    Troll sat alone on his seat of stone,
    And munched and mumbled a bare old bone;
    For many a year he had gnawed it near,
    For meat was hard to come by.

      James, I think you should make it “mumbled and munched” instead. Maybe not though. Depends. A great poem though. Please keep writing. You are a budding talent.
