I’m sick of running. The whole year I’ve been dodging bullets, on the short and long side. I’ve been warning myself for months that this market is going lower. I’ve said it here on numerous occasions that an S&P level of 700 was plausible in a recessionary environment. The crisis in Europe has me fatigued to the point of capitulation. How long am I supposed to deal with this fucking bullshit? It’s the same story over and over again.
I hope the fuckers from JEF, MS and GS burn in hell. I’d like nothing more than to read the morning paper and see their share prices at zero. Misery loves company and right now I am overflowing with it. As fate would have it, the two places that I felt were immune to Europe, gold and refiners, are the biggest losers. Thank the devil I sold out of DK yesterday; but I still own some WNR. Silver is down a staggering 7% today. That is nothing short of a calamity. These things happen when markets are in disarray.
My intra-day losses are approaching 4% now. This is clearly a deeply disturbing day for me. I’ve worked real hard, fighting tooth and nail, to avoid getting fucked this year. I’ve been playing defense, keenly avoiding one blow up after another. Remember, I sold 90% of my WNR position north of $17. But now I feel a certain sense of finality with this move lower. It’s different.
Prior to the inane 1,200 point melt up that fucked me in VXX, TLT and short EXH, I had a very cogent strategy. It was based around the idea that Europe could not fix their problem and US treasuries would offer safe haven. As you can see, I was right. But being right doesn’t mean dick. If you’re not making money on your ideas, you’re wasting your time. So I don’t think about it.
Like many others, I too was shaken out of my bearish positions, thinking the Europeans were back in control. Sadly, it was just another dickfaced lie, purported by fancy men in tight pants. There is no bailout. It’s all a fucking rouse and I was suckered into a false sense of optimism. Words cannot describe how angry I am at myself right now, for being exposed and vulnerable to market forces.
