I EXERCISED RESTRAINT

It’s entirely possible the world will end tomorrow. Also, I thought it might make for a fine Friday afternoon to see your faces beading with sweat due to largess paper losses.

I’ve taken a very large position in XLU and have seen it go lower by 3% since I bought it.

A lesser man would toss himself into a lit fireplace, doused with gasoline, because of these losses. “The Fly” simply brushes them off, like a mosquito attempting to land on my dinner plate.

I will have you know, yields will go lower again. You can bank on it. When they do, you’re all going to be sucking my knee-caps, praising my foresight into the dark and evil lands of utilities.

For the day, I shed 0.24%, like a pedestrian, sewer pipe style.

    If I weren’t short GMCR and long a lot of cash, it would have been an icky day. Now just waiting for the dust to settle.

    It’s hard to comment here lately without it being eschewed as “advice”.

    Boss Fly – If yields go lower, what does that do to bank stocks? (I think I know the answer)

    Somehow this is all linked to the removal of the flag from the General Lee.

    Paper losses? I never have paper losses, I only have realized losses.
