THE GREAT BIOTECH CRASH OF 2015 IS UPON YOU

Stocks are being lit the fuck up. A full reversal of fortune is happening. This was somewhat predictable, being that NKE was the Dow points and breadth stood at a paltry 51% at the highs of the session.

This downslide is being led by biotech stocks, following news that money isn’t all that valuable for the industry anymore. Bernard Sanders, prospective President of the United Steaks, will transfer the profits from the biotechs into homeless shelters and hospices.

Seriously, though, the Fed Chair is seizing out in public, Russia is moving drones into Syria, Iran is shitting on American flags while accepting our peace offerings, and Obama is the Manchurian candidate– a Kenyan who snuck into the White House to fuck it.

THIS IS THE WORST FUCKING WEEK EVER, for biotech. Come look at the carnage, son.

 

Biotech

Here’s big pharma

In my experience, these types of drops are either immense buying opportunities or a prelude of hideous things to come. The banks endured this type of pin action in early 2008, before melting the fuck down in the latter part of the year.

We all know the biotech sector is overvalued. Why is that? It’s Fred Wilson’s fault. All of the tech IPO’s are incubated for years, jacked up by assholes, then dumped onto an unsuspecting public who provide liquidity for the VC devils. So we became keen to this game and opted to steer clear of the scams. We bought up the biotechs because the FDA offered us extreme upside, upside that wasn’t controlled by Mr. Wilson.

It was a high risk trade and it’s dead now. This is a bear market, 100%. Position for recession. Stocks like CLX, CL and PG might do okay. I think it’s abundantly clear that you should be selling short the rips now. The Fed put was swallowed by  the incompetent Janet Yellen– and mouth vomited– on stage, for the world to see.

The Recession Trade is On

So Exodus had just flagged 3 consecutive OS signals in a row, something of an oddity since 2009. The results are in: 200+ point melt up, albeit a weak one.

os

The point is, the SPY is now up for all of those watermarks.

Second, I ran some scans to try to identify a trend, any trend for that matter. I could live with this market, as long as there is rhyme, reason and order to it.

Here’s what I found, delving into companies whose markets caps exceed $5 billion.

Software stocks are exhibiting strength. I recall an old deskmate of mine who used to buy software stocks and nothing else. When times were tough in the market, he was the only one making commissions. He’s walk around the joint like he fucking owned the place. His head got so big, he got himself fired for impersonating a sales manager and signing trade tickets for other reps. Brokers would line up to get him to sign their tickets. He’d sign anything, mainly because he gave zero fucks.

Here are some software names that have been outperforming.

INTU, CRM, MSCI, MSFT, RHT.

Soda pop

MNST, DPS, KO.

Business services

BR, CTAS, GPN, IRM, PYPL, VRSK.

Cleaning products

CHD, CLX

Discount Stores

COST, DG, DLTR, TGT

A shit load of utilities

Just buy XLU

Personal Products

PG, EL

Packaged and Processed Foods

FLO, GIS

Property and Casualty Insurance

ACE, ALL, CB, HIG

Restaurants

DRI, QSR, SBUX

Waste Management

RSG, SRCL

Listen to me: these are recessionary allocations. This doesn’t necessarily mean we are barreling towards recession. However, money managers are positioning for it.

Super Non Impressive 200 Point Rally

John Boehner is resigning, Janet Yellen is dehydrated, and the market is having its shittiest 200 point rally ever.

Bears should be thrilled by today’s action. The recession trade is on, inspite of today’s 3.9% GDP numbers for q2.

Look at my CLX.

Fear my CLX, for its success means the markets demise.

Biotech still sucks. Tech is mailing it in. We still fear everything.

FLASH: YELLEN REQUIRES MEDICAL ATTENTION DURING SPEECH; FUTURES SPIKE 96

We are living in dark, dark times. I have a blogger writing for me who moved from the north east corridor of the United Steaks, left the business of professional money management, to oversea the destruction of mankind from the comfort of his volcano-side cottage.

During a speech today, Federal Reserve Chief, Janet Yellen, felt ill and needed to seek medical attention.

“Chair Yellen felt dehydrated at the end of a long speech under bright lights. As a precaution, she was seen by EMT staff on-site at U-Mass Amherst. She felt fine afterward and has continued with her schedule Thursday evening,” the Fed said in a statement.

Before that happened, futures were flat. After that happened, they spiked by 96.

INDEUD.

Surveying the Aftermath

Oil and gas stocks are down 80% from their highs. Over the past 3 month, the median return of the oil and gas equipment space is -40%, spearheaded by cremation trading in PBR, LNG, CLR and WLL. Name the oil stock and it’s down 30% over the past 90 days. If you’ve been concentrated in this sector, your game is over.

Similar carnage can be found in aluminum (-37%), solar (-35%), Mineral and Metals (-32%), Semis- Memory chips (-32%), Chinese Burritos (-30%), Steel and Iron (-30%), Nuclear (-30%), Shipping (-30%), Silver (-28%), Rubber and Plastics (-27%), Copper (-26%), Chemicals-Major (-25%), Alternative Energy (-25%), Computer peripherals (-25%), Internet Service Providers (-24%). I can go on for days. Out of 200+ industries, only a handful were up: Home Healthcare, Airlines, Utilities and some REITs.

It’s really real out there. Broader indices mask the pain that is pervasive in the tape. Short sellers have been rewarded with epic gains. They are firmly in control of the dialogue and steering this grand equity party into the dirt, thanks in large part to an incompetent government, whose high tax/regulatory environment have stressed the economy into a standstill.

Aside from that, the Federal Reserve put, that has been in place since 2009, is gone. Fed Chief Yellen is weak and doesn’t have control of her board governors, who make speech after speech, discussing the virtues of a potential rate hike.

Really?

How about we see a little inflation first, before tightening the money supply?

The bottom line is this: the dollar is +15% over the past two years, +5% year to date. Our corporations are being gimp’d, placed upon the altar of sacrifice because we are being led by quisling incompetents.

AN IBC SPECIAL: THE DEVIL IS CALLING A BOTTOM HERE

I was graced with the rare occasion of an unsolicited phone call by the man known around here as “The Devil.” He informed me that we are in a bottoming process and to get long WYNN, SPLK and NK. He wanted those on “the coin” to know that he rarely, if ever, thinks about you. But, it’s important to note that when he does, he calls bottoms.

LOOK AT ME SHINE

So what the market is down a gazillion points these past 5 days. Where have I been and how could I permit a world class financial site to go un-updated all day, a day which is marking the end of civilization as we know it? That is none of your concern.

On my way to work today, I am pretty sure I saw an actual centaur in the street, kicking some old man into what looked like a fiery pit. Also, I am pretty sure one of the seals of hell have been jarred open, if you will. Perhaps this coincides with the Pope’s visit? All I know is, gold is breaking the fuck higher. Men are balding overnight and Janet Yellen is the dumbest Fed chief in the history of Fed chiefs. That’s what you get when you send a grandmother to do a bankers job.

Believe me, there is nothing sexist about my position against Yellen. Women are brutal and calculating, even manipulative, traits all necessary to be the world’s leading Central Banker. But she doesn’t have any good qualities. She is the worst person in the world, a real Stalin of our times.

I like burgers and gold bricks, long SHAK and GG. Everything else has been reduced to clown-dust. Poof and it’s gone.

FUTURES THE FUCK LOWER

Decorum has gone out the door. I don’t have time for nice words or being pleasant to a group of disheveled strangers. You motherfuckers are gonna get lit up tomorrow. Futures are off by 77. Japan is getting kicked back into the Hiroshima mushroom cloud. And Tim Cook, CEO of APPL, is still gay, single and looking.

As an aside, our Federal Reserve Chief, Grandma Yellen, is fucking retarded. She lets her Fed governors talk shit all around the country, delusional assholes who live in flyover states. If Fly was the Fed chief, he’d fucking smoke those cocksuckers with his Desert Eagle and print a trillion new dollars. I’d buy all the stocks, eat all the chickens, and kill all of the bears.

Instead, we get futures down 77– following grande motherfucking piano falling on your head trading, these past 5 days, and shit.

EVERY TRADER MUST DIE

Before this year is done, all traders will be dead. Plus anyway, once Bernard Sanders becomes President in 2016, he will tax short term profits at 99%, effectively ravaging Wall Street of all of its gains for the benefit of a few million poor citizens.

These are the final stages of American capitalism. Before long, you will all be given a stipend. Your businesses will be seized and managed by a 300 pound woman, who grew up in a very urban setting. Your company will be forced to employ homeless people and offer healthcare, at an onerous expense.

Ten years hence, you will long for these days of profit. Over 100 trillion dollars will be owed by the US government, forcing old people into FEMA camps to be executed for the benefit of the national budget.

A NASDAQ rally for the ages is coming soon. The best way to catch it is to sit there, like a moron, and do nothing.

THE BIGGEST RALLY OF YOUR PATHETIC LIVES IS COMING

You can say you read it here first. When history is written and society tries to sift through the rubble, formerly known as the financial blogosphere, they will find one person to be heads and shoulders above the rest, in terms of being able to read the tea leaves.

LISTEN TO ME you fucking bastards. The Chinese scoundrels will soon be marginalized and the CEO’s of our corporations will use their greedy traits to buy back their own shares and surprise competitors with “fuck you, give me your entire company” merger overtures. I know this because I’ve seen the future.

Lesser men are sitting idle, roasting rats and porcupines over a flame, declaring end of days–eagerly reading Zerohedge for the latest scandal to rock Wall Street.

HERETO: the market is going to bounce, long and wide. Its girth will break the fucking faces of bearshitters from here to Berlin. Brace for it, you fucked faces (double entendre!).
