The Sun Also Rises…Bears

I realize today is a hard day. By looking at the indices, one might think a dedicated short seller is mad with rage. Its been 6 years of Dantes Inferno for short sellers and they never seem to get a break. Just when it looked like oil was on its way down the toilet bowl, when their leader of hell, Dennis Gartman, said it was going to $10 per barrel, it careens higher.

They almost had a Greek default 10 times, but no dice.

They once even had western countries teetering on insolvency, with sovereign debt yields spiking through the roof. Now Spain can borrow at a cheaper rate than the United Steaks.

More recently, biotech stocks posed as imminent danger to the bull market, overheating too fast–much to the bears delight. Well, it pulled back 5% and now they’re running again.

Nothing, and I mean nothing, is being given to the short sellers of America. These poor lads have been living in abject squalor for more than half a decade. I am thinking about starting a foundation to help these people. Perhaps we can all donate, and show our good grace, just 1% of our profits to this foundation and help feed a bear family tonight.

What do you say?

In other news, TWTR is breaking legs to the upside. I am pissed off for not owning it. I wanted to buy Rignet, RNET, 10 points ago; but missed that too. AGIO flagged oversold in The PPT yesterday, with a 10 up 1 down track record. That stock still looks good today.

My PANW, SLCA and N are powering forward today, lending to an even more hedonistic 2015 for yours truly. It’s not all rainbows and unicorns today, with breadth at around 59%.

Lastly, we sent out 12 beta trials last night. I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts. We will send out another 50 today.

TRIALS BEGIN TONIGHT

We’ve selected a random 12 people, apostles if you will, to beta test Exodus tonight. After that, we will choose 50 per day for the next week, to give everyone a 3 day look inside the world’s best financial tool ever made.

What exactly is Exodus?

Look at your hand and remember these 5 things.

1. Powerful equity and ETF screener.

2. Vibrant community of sophisticated professionals and self-directed investors.

3. Instant analyzer of both technicals and fundamentals, for over 4,000 stocks and ETFs.

4. A reservoir for actionable ideas, given by the creator of Exodus and founder of iBankCoin, none other than Plutonium Petey himself–master and commander of the internets.

5. Predictive algorithms with an amazing track record since 2008, currently 84% successful in timing market turns from oversold conditions. We have hundreds of testimonials to support these arguments.

 

I made 0.52% for the day, at annual highs of +16%. Off to the gym.

FALL IN UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF WINSHIP

I don’t mean to chastise any of you. Like a father cares for a child, sometimes it’s important to be authoritative with guidance, otherwise the child runs off to get ran over by automobiles.

“The Fly” is of ‘supreme intellect’ by far above your layman capacities. You could live for another thousand years and not come within 25% of my intelligence quotient. It’s not because you were born stupid, or anything like that. Very simply, I was built better.

The market is off to the races and I am making moves again. I sold out of LVLT and bought CENX, a seasonal trade in a stock that has been battered to pieces. The company is making plenty of money and falls in under my umbrella of discounted free cash flow companies trading at distressed levels–off by 40% for 2015.

You can try to beat me and suffer the pangs of miserable failure. Or, you can simply fold tent and behold the winship that shadows SeƱor Tropicana, a designation that has been abundantly clear since the early days of adolescence.

IT’S TIME TO TAKE OUT THE GIMP

That dip lasted all but 9 minutes (thank you Raul for tracking it for us!).

This isn’t a game, never has been and it never will be. “The Fly” is like a fencing master, only he fences with nuclear bombs. If you’ve come to battle me, by attempting to take my coin, I will Nagasaki you.

I don’t need to rehash my top stock picks. Cut it out already. I don’t want to know about your position in stupid things, like gold. All that is important, at this juncture in time, is that the short sellers get their heads chopped off clean.

It’s time, gentlemen, to bring forth the gimp, officially known as ‘Le Gimp’ in France, and bask in the glory of sharp upside reversals.

NOTE: Bluestar’s funeral has been scheduled for tomorrow.

Let’s See How Long this Dip Can Last

For current subscribers and interested parties in Cain Thaler’s Income Investment Report, the quarterly report has been posted and up for your analysis. If you’re interested in dividends and need a resource to generate ideas, backed by sound fundamental analysis, this is for you.

Happy Easter everyone, non-christian heathens included. Futures are off by around 1%, thanks to Friday’s jobs report. The Atlanta arm of the Fed is expecting flat GDP, which is going to stoke the flames of recession through the community of fucking assholes. You have nothing to fear, but fear itself.

I’d like to wager dollars to donuts we close up tomorrow. The fact that the jobs number was soft only lends to the idea that the Fed will not hike rates. With that off the table, the free money camp should run wild…naked…in the daytime.

The dollar should go down, gold up, stocks the fuck higher.

If not, fear not, the dip will be short lived.

Over the past two weeks, biotechs have softened, while residential construction and chinese stocks surged. The market is rotating out of one hot sector into another. But you know which sectors don’t give a shit about hot money? How about companies that are banking coin, generating tonnes of free cash flow?

I have an idea for you tonight, straight from one of my Exodus screens: Ralph Lauren, ticker RL.

Year to date, the stock is off by 26%. Yet, at the same time, the company is generating more than $200 mill in earnings per quarter. The PE is absurdly low and the price to sales ratio hasn’t been this low since 2007. I don’t like RL here, I love it.

NOTE: We might send emails to a limited few tonight to begin The PPT Exodus beta trials. If not tonight, soon.

Saturday Cinema with Le Fly: Barry Lyndon

We all know about The Shining or the one retarded film that Stanley Kubrick made called Space Odyssey 2001–thanks to horror fan buffs and acid addled hippie bastards. However, how many of you have seen Barry Lyndon?

After watching this movie, I became transfixed with Kubrick’s work. It is by far the most innovating, crisp, and creative of his era.

This film in particular, Barry Lyndon, is a personal favorite. Every single scene is a work of art, literally. You can screen shot any part of the film and it will look like a classic oil painting.

As for the content: dark, dry, comedy, mixed with sarcasm– my favorite type of funny. Mrs. Fly watched some, at my request, and didn’t find it funny, not even in the least. Then again, she can sit through an entire Eastbound and Down episode, complain about all the profanity being used, and not crack a smile once, not even a little.

This is a classic film, one of the best ever. Watch it!

Is Bad News Good, or is it Bad Now?

I’m just trying to keep up with the psychotic minds of the people who pull levers. A few month’s ago, good jobs numbers sent the market spiraling, for fear that the Fed would use this new found prosperity to fuck the country. Using the same logic, now that we see people unemployed again, manning soup lines, shouldn’t that mean that rate hikes are entirely OFF the table; therefore, QE is a real possibility, which will jack prices–the fuck–higher?

One thing is for certain: the status quo of watching the economy plod along in the midst of a commodity rout cannot last forever. At some point, the economy needs real stimulus. It’d be nice if the fuckheads in the White House and congress actually gave two shits, and a few camels, about growth and passed some tax cuts/stimulus packages, instead of having to rely on Dr. Frankenstein at the Fed.

A Pastel Outlook on Things

We’ve reached an accord with the good people of Iran. They’ve agreed to cease making weapons that will annihilate large swaths of earthling population; and in return, we’ve agreed to let them make more money. Those centrifuges got awfully expensive. I am sure the Ayatollah was sick and tired of all the “nuke Jerusalem” rhetoric and simply wished to live out his days near the coast of Monaco.

You were tricked earlier today, when the markets gave it up, weren’t you? I was delighted to see that you were 200% retarded, instead of merely 100%. It makes for a much greater demonstration of entertainment for yours truly.

The weather is beautiful and I have no reason, whatsoever, to be here talking with the lot of you. My money management business is at fresh highs, the web business is as depraved as ever, and I am aggressively expanding, not to mention that I am also roasting the stomachs of my enemies in hell.

Exodus is coming, gentlemen. You needn’t have to worry about the future of your digital lives any longer. Go out and knock on your neighbors doors, call your friends and family, have them email me at [email protected] for a beta trial. We have one hurdle left to complete and then you’re in, for a limited time of course. After which, I intend to lunge at you and evict you from the premises of gentlemen.

Enjoy the extended weekend. I’ll be doing my Saturday cinema, as scheduled.

TIME FOR AGGRESSIVE EXPANSION

I kicked out MUSA for a small gain. With the proceeds, I rolled (no Humpty) into AMGN, GTN and YY.

GTN is my oversized position out of the three. I’d load up heavy on YY here, if it weren’t for the fact that is domiciled in a ruggedly corrupt nation of liars and dog eaters.

What can I say? I like television and feel we’re in the golden era of content, super bullish on NFLX, AMCX and GTN.
