I AM NOW UP 6% FOR THE DAY

All of my securities have opened their wings and flocked to the sky, unafraid of Einhorns or other nefarious anti-aircraft devices. My positions have tested time and won.

Now all of you out there, reading these scribes, are probably losing your horses in this tape, scared of shadows, sick to your stomach from the churn. Rest assured, this is the 5th time the machines have destroyed Zion; they are becoming increasingly efficient at doing it. You have a choice to make now.

Either you ignore what you see in front of your faces and go play a game of tag with some of your adult friends outside. Or, you can sell everything, buy a bunch of oil stocks, and arrange for your own funeral. There isn’t anything left to do, other than play with the mirages.

The market started to drop, in lockstep, with NOW today. They reported better than expected results, had a few nice chaps at the old brokerage houses reiterate $84 price targets, only to see its shares eradicated from trade within 10 minutes of the opening tick. People in my business watched, in horror, as the stock dropped 14% from yesterday’s close. Panic set it, as the realization of nothing being able to arrest this decline set in, not even great earnings, and everyone ran for the exits, cloud stocks in particular. As we speak, some of those shares have recovered a great deal. What we are looking at is either the beginning a complete and absolute collapse in growth companies without earnings, or something less sinister in nature, but equally depressing–nonetheless.

What we are bearing witness to is the end of speculation. Very soon, all of the IPOs will be canceled and brokerage firms will fire 50% of their work forces to make ends meet. The economy will respond by tailspinning into the ground, completing the Obama legacy of nothingness and ineptitude. As this occurs, the Federal Reserve, chaired by Yellen, will continue to ignore the fact that this economy is dead without stimulus and there is nothing that can be done to save it, without artificially pumping it.

The better alternative will be to see this morning’s panic and subsequent reversal extend into the afternoon session, erasing all losses for those of you out there, less fortunate than I.

Fingers crossed, for the sake of America.

    I think you mean the economy is dead. Its only the stock market that is dead without stimulus.

      FEYE is a retard magnet. I can tell how stupid someone is just from including the ticker FEYE and the word ‘BUY’ in their post.

      You SImple SImon Idiots realize that there are other stocks out there. Amazing companies with actual earnings that aren’t down 55% from their highs. Stocks that actually make their investors/traders/speculators what have you real honest to god $$$$. Instead you buy shit show stocks bc some strange guy writes about it and well god fucking forbid you did your own research. I want FEYE to go to $0.00 so all the idiots who bought it who keep saying “it must go higher and it cant go lower” watch it not go higher and in fact much lower. What a bunch of crack addled monkeys.

          its so great they expecting are going to lose $055 a share.

          Look maybe it does have great technology, but the idiots here buy it so Fly says “good job” and they go and jerk off in a lonely room thinking about an imaginary conversation between them and Fly about their mutual stock picks.

          What Im trying to convey is this stock, right here, is a murder hole. Its one thing if you are stuck in it and trying to get out – its entirely different if you are jumping into it w fresh money bc a guy on the intenet says so (no disrespect to Captain Fly).

    I don’t know who is winning in this market – only the most nimble and disciplined traders I expect – or the fucking 401kers. I know I’m not, the bears aren’t, and the bulls around here aren’t either.

    Fly- I can’t understand why you bother to fight and chirp with some of these sh#t bags on here. These trolls visit your website every day, probably 5X’s a day…..why? They need some sense of direction, that’s why. They don’t have a single original thought in their skulls. They’ve been short this tape for 5yrs, and at this point, don’t even know why theyre short, they just are. I hope to god none of these asshats have licenses to professionally manage money, because I’ve got 2 words for these Pikers, MORAL HAZARD. I don’t post here often, but I do miss the days of yester-year where Southern Gentleman used to flock to these grounds to discuss politics, business acquisitions, thoroughbreds and drink only the finest of single malt scotch whiskeys.

    All the Best

    Looking for feedback: Long Europe, Short Japan; paired trade. Any thoughts??

    Europe about to ease (inflation); Japan entering deflationary recession (not easing)…

    Seems flawless unless war breaks out in Europe of course!

    I’d have to agree with fx that the tenor of discussion has fallen off a precipice. Can only hope that when Fly has recouped his losses and the self flagellation stops the penis guillotine will do its magic. Giles, another single malt.

    Well, I’m short the ES again, and this time for good. Only 1/15 of my utlimate position, so i’ve got a long way to go. Won’t bother me to see it go higher for a while so i can average in nicely.

    The jig is fully up fells. Time to run for the hills. Next week will be a bloodbath.
