Forge Ahead Young Man — Stocks Are Rich With Value

Today was a brief stop along the runaway locomotive which is bound to crash into a cave filled with bears — killing them all dead. I expect a resumption of the bull rally to parlay into your brokerage account starting tomorrow, lasting for another week or so, until the great retest of the 2018 market crash is upon us.

When it happens, you’ll be so scared, I gather you’ll soil yourselves ridiculous.

I sold two stocks, both for egregious sized losses, only saved by their small position size. I am 15% cash and I couldn’t get myself to buy Chinese lottery stocks today, in spite really wanting to.

I have a strong and powerful mind for this sort of market, a wonderful blend of shocking behavior and wanton gambling, mingled in with a little irrational mood swings. I’ve done very well this year, much better than you and everyone that you know, probably combined. When I used to manage money, on days like this I’d simply waste the day box watching, chatting with clients all day, talking about nonsense. Now I do the same shit, but on Exodus where I teach people what they need to be told and so on and so forth.

Time to head out now.

GOOD DAY.

I don’t know what to make of this — perhaps another mania now that the weed trade has died down.

YECO is higher by 600% and several other Chinese material stocks, as well as financials, are shooting higher. These are stocks that normally trade 5,000 per day, now trading hundreds of thousands and millions. It looks like some boiler room broker won the fucking mega millions.

Other breakouts include: CNET, CIFS, GLG, SSLJ, PETZ, PLAG, CBAK, CHNR, HGSH, CLDC, OSN, TKAT, ABAC, SGOC, EVK, ATAI.

People are nuts.

Markets are improving from the early morning sell-off, partly buoyed by strong gains in MS, USB, GS and other banks. Oil is notably on the downside, down by 2.7% WTI and 1.9% Brent. The contraction of the WTI-Brent spread is of course bearish for US refiners who mostly acquired crude in WTI and then retail in Brent. Refiners are moderately lower, off by 1.1% for the session.

Taking the other side of the oil trade are airlines, higher by 1.5%, led by strong gains in UAL. It’s worth noting, UAL, AAL, and DAL have stopped fuel hedging and stand to profit most from the drop in jet fuel costs.

SAAS stocks are off by 0.9%, following yesterday’s +6% surge — but have been firming throughout the morning.

Notable SAAS stocks include: HUBS, WDAY, CRM and recently IPO’d PLAN.

The Cannabis sector has cooled, in spite of Canada’s legalization of marijuana today for recreational use. It’s also worth noting, popular retailers of cannabis in Canada, Aurora Cannabis, has applied for their shares to be listed on the NYSE, under the ticker symbol ACB.

Notable cannabis stocks include: TLRY, NBEV, PYX, and CGC.

What a wonderful world we live in.

Moving on, auto parts stores are enduring ruinous losses today, thanks to a 23% drop in European car sales — likely the direct result of new emissions tests about to start. Some have dubbed this ‘Carmageddon’ (Zerohedge), but this is nothing more than coming off the August sugar high of +30% European car sales, as people bought cars as fast as they could before the new emissions laws went into effect.

Notable auto stocks include: AZO, AAP, RUSHB, and SAH.

Nothing is really trending today, however. Then again, we were higher by 500 yesterday, so consolidation of those gains is to be expected.

On the more aggressive side of the market, traders are diving head first into a nefarious Chinese, ticker YECO — higher by 275% now on 10 million shares traded.

The made an acquisition today, so apparently traders went nuts.

Yulong Eco-Materials Limited (Nasdaq CM: YECO) today announced that it has completed the acquisition of the Millennium Sapphire “MS”. Yulong announced on August 22, 2018 that it had signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire the Millennium Sapphire for US$50 million. The acquisition was acquired via the issuance of 25 million YECO restricted shares valued at $2.00 per share.

Other notable stocks flying to the upside, with market caps above $1b, include: VICR (+17%, earnings), SMCI (+9%, short squeeze), CZR (+6% on takeover rumors), NFLX (+6%, earnings), LRCX (+2.5%, earnings) and CREE (+4%, earnings). It’s also worth noting, SHLD is higher by 40%, due to bankruptcy filing, naturally.

Finally, and it should be noted, breadth is just 30%. The market might be recovering now, but most will view today as an overall poor day for stocks, especially in tech. Now representing a new record 26% of overall market capitalization, tech has undergone a deleterious decline over the past month — particularly in semis and software. Those two industries comprise of approximately $3.2 trillion in market cap, central to the bull case in tech and the overall market. Stocks like LRCX, CRM, ADBE, MU, amongst others, are viewed as lynchpins to the general mood of the market and would need to firm up first in order lure battered traders back into the mix. In spite of the pleasant 13% return in the Nasdaq this year, the technicals of the market have been greatly damaged in recent weeks and, as is always the case with these sort of squalls, traders will need to see some gradual improvement before fully committing on the long side.

You have to know these people exist, if you’re gonna play the game. No one knows why we must retest the lows, only to resume straight up — but we do. We always do.

“This is the second decline of this year of 5 percent or more and two out of every time we had more than one decline in a year, the second decline was sharper than the first,” Stovall said. The S&P 500 dipped to 2,710 last week, a 7.8 percent decline from its all-time high in late September. In February, the S&P was down nearly 12 percent at its low.

“There could be a test of the lows. I’m not surprised that tech, consumer discretionary are leading the way [higher] because they led the way downward,” said Stovall. He said if there is another flush out to lows, it could come before the Nov. 6 election.

Markets are getting punished and I sold NEPT and YGYI — getting caught in a FUCKING SECONDARY on the latter. Whatever. I’m 15% cash now, heading for a sandwich break. While I remain bullish and believe the lows are in, I am not convinced the retest the lowFAGS will go away so soon.

BEWARE.

There will be a retest, as the retest the lowFAGS make their rounds around Wall Street, whispering their FUCKING BULLSHIT into the ears of anyone who’d listen.

“We have to retest the lows, right? It’s the right thing to do.”

“But why?”

“For the technicals to truly bottom. You know, the market has never bottomed without first retesting the lows.”

“Oh, ok.”

I see most of you are unfamiliar with the fair value aspect to Nasdaq futures. Go fuck yourselves. We’re about to lift higher again and you really should fuck off.

I’m a little salty this morning because I got caught in a secondary, long YGYI. These are the gambles we take when buying absolute piece of shit stocks.

Canada legalized pot; fade cannabis stocks. Buy the dips when the sellers and the speculators exhaust themselves.

I will show you exactly what gave me the utmost confidence to remain cautiously long during the recent bear run lower. I know a lot of people thought we’d bounce and there were 100 different indicators pointing to a rally just around the bend, but hardly any of those signals are repeatable.

These are.

Aside from the oversold signal, we also measure the percent of large caps ranked bullish. This number came in at an astounding 1.7% last week, which proved to be the absolute bottom. Last time we endured such bearishness was during the European financial crisis.

Our Hybrid Oscillators measure stress points for every sector. This is the predictive element of Exodus on a chart. Here is the SASS sector, at extreme lows. If you zoom out further, the last time it was this oversold was during the massive rout in 2014, which proved to be an once in a lifetime low for many stocks in the group.

The QQQ flagged a rare oversold last Thursday, also at the low point in the market.

SAAS stocks today, +6%.

Is this magic or guru level mathematical algorithms? Yes and no. There are some models that make up the algorithms that make it unique. No two algos are the same, after all. But, at the essence of what I’m trying to accomplish here is simply measure the stress points of the market and then see how traders respond to them. Certain levels are proven to be predictable, because, inherently, humans are predictable. We repeat the same processes and follow systems, in an orderly manner. You just need to pay attention to the patterns and then act upon them with confidence.

I’m not special or a guru — I’m just experienced enough to know not to believe the FUCKING HORSESHIT. No, the market wasn’t going to crash and if it was — you’d fall prey to a truly rare event. If that happened, you should be proud to wear that badge of zeal on your chest forever. This was simply a matter of people adjusting to expectations, parsing through news, shaking out speculators, and finally climbing the wall of worry.

Here we are higher by more than 500. I played it well, mostly cash for a long period of time, then hid out in cannabis stocks, sold those stocks this morning, switched to SAAS, and now winning.

Big.fucking.deal.

Don’t join Exodus because of what happened here this week. It won’t be long before my recent wins become a faint memory and you’re wondering again if Fly lost his touch, his skill to trade — washed up and finished.

For a year and change, like a fucking retard, I blogged, antagonistically, about politics — a narrative that didn’t fit the view of others. Some of you haven’t forgiven me for it and have avoided me whenever possible. I don’t care about that either. As a matter of fact, the list of things that I do care about is shrinking on a daily basis. The market is wonderful and it gives me happiness to figure it out and profit from it. Everything else associated with the news flow is rancid and I cannot be a part of having a voice in our current events. No fucking interest.

I’ve been blogging on this site since 2007. I’ve had great runs and really bad runs; but I’m always honest and forthright in my experiences. You should know, I’ve never been better. I think it’s because I’ve moderated my temperament in recent years, especially during 2018. I’ve learned a lot about how things work and how people are, and have found a calm normality in my place in all this. I am a god damned stock market magician — slayer of the Bearshitter, blogger extraordinaire, master of iBankCoin — population 3.

I was having a hard time buying new stocks. All of the charts look the same and it felt redundant to take on new responsibilities, especially with charts looking so dreary.

Then I got to thinking, “what the fuck am I scare for? I’m the motherfucking Fly, a financial super hero — the backbone of a generation — taking to these internets with energy and vigor for more than a decade. Everything I touch turns to gold; and I have been blessed with a keen sense of direction, bestowed upon me.” So I went all in.

Hear me now. I doubled up in the follow names and have gone “all in”, as markets crash higher — zeroing out Zerohedge and making a mockery of the bears who felt now was the time to get involved.

SSTI
OKTA
NEWR
MDB
DOCU

And I started a new position in Chinese IPO QTT.

Cash levels have been reduced to just 5%. Ask me if I care — because I really don’t.

“Boats crashing against the current, oarless, absolved by the fate of destiny, carried forth by the winds of the Gods.”

-Fly, 2018

Don’t you know weed isn’t good for you? Ahead of the Canadian vote to legalize crack, I booked profits in NBEV (+21%), TLRY (+19%) and CGC (+11%). With NBEV, that was a double sized position, or 10% of my portfolio.

I am still holding YGYI and NEPT.

Separately, I bought MDB. It looks like it might fashion a cage break out soon.

If you’re standing in the way of progress, you will be taken down. There is nothing that can stop the market from heading higher now, not you, or your stupid fucking friends, not even the Chinese. The time for cheap talk and half measures is over. We’ve been oversold now for 8 consecutive days and I’ve had enough. We are going to drag the bulls by their hair, pull them into the city square, and someone else is going to then take them and cut their dicks off (no homo).

I’ll have you know, the weed stocks are running again. Did you get involved? That’s too bad.

I cannot wait for my SAAS stocks to springboard, the fuck, higher. I am going to deploy all of my cash to this effervescent bull run. I cannot wait to scare the children this Hallow’s Eve with my XIV carved pumpkins and margin call notices in their baskets.

There is nothing more for you to know other than the fact that stocks are set to scream higher. Follow me and all will be good, profitable, and on par with all formal conduct adhering to the traditions of decorum.
