WHAT THIS MARKET NEEDS IS MOAR REVERSALS

The market is up today, which is unacceptable. Before the day finishes, let us prey for sharp reversals of misfortune, whereby everyone gets tossed into the chopped meat grinder, broiled, then served to monsters for expeditious devouring.

There isn’t a reason in the world to trust anything on the screen. But there are trends worth pursuing, long term. With gasoline in the shitter, gas station plays will work higher. Names like TA, MUSA and IMKTA look solid.

Consumer sensitive names that cater to the bedraggled, my former and future class, benefit the most from lower gas prices. Now what do the lower class folk do with extra coin? Having been from this class as a young lad, I can tell you, with unequivocal confidence, they eat at the panned cake house (DIN) and buy Nike (NKE) air jordan’s, from either Finish Line (FINL) or Footlocker (FL). It’s part of the hip hop culture now, to be fashionable with $200 rubber basketball shoes on one’s feet. The quality of one’s clothing and brands that he/she advertises (free of charge) tells the rest of the world how important/unimportant one is, truly.

So, if you’re poor and living off grilled cheese sandwiches and cup o’ noodle soup containers, be sure to buy some fashionable $200 basketball shoes at your local FINL this week, in order to ‘pop off’ and acquire easy to impress female counterparts, who are equally bedraggled and of course highly fashionable, with all of the decadence and splendor that one can muster from the bottom of the capstone.
