Taking a Contrarian Position

Using The PPT‘s new hybrid charting tool per industry, I started a position in AAL here.

1. The airlines are fucking cash cows.

2. They are excellent hedges against open long positions in oil.

3. They are oversold, and unlike oil; their fundamentals are improving.

4. Everyone hates them now.

AAL is down 10% over the past two weeks.

To finance this, I sold out of laggards MDVN, TPH and XLRN.

        The ironic part of this whole situation is the signal generated from The PPT are more thorough and mind blowing than anything you’d ever have at your finger tips, unless of course you favor the drek out from the teevee of research mills.

    I like selling Biotech here too, let the hot money run into oil from there. Same on the bonds.

    Contrary works in airlines, although it isn’t overnight.
    I recall the cover of Barrons in Dec. 1989 where the cover story was about how great UAL was as it crossed $200.
    That was the top.
