Congressional Asshattery

You just know Congress will not come to terms on a debt ceiling deal. All of the bureaucracy, all of the red tape, all the dissent will come home to roost with this topic: government versus private.

On one hand, the dems believe it is their God given right to spend America into insolvency, providing union leaders get warrants on the “new America.” On the other, the GOP wants whatever the fuck their corporate sponsors ask them for, in order to “help businesses.” Well, they’ve helped business export the fuck out of here, rather nicely, over the past 10 years. Let’s not forget, it was the dicksuckers under Bush who really transformed the entire country into Detroit.

Stuck in the middle are the many, you and I. Because we’ve been taught to be civil and to obey authority, we let them squabble as the nation burns. We let them take away our guns, in order to stop those crazy guns from killing people. The liberties this country was founded on have been trampled, in hundreds of different ways, all for the sake of “safety.”

The debt ceiling topic is yet another “safety” issue, where Obama and co. just want to kick the can down the fucking road, in order to let Mitt Romney deal with this shit. Let me tell you something right now, I am fed up and want the US to default. Fuck it. They are so God damned stupid and incompetent, they deserve to oversee this nation crumble like a coffee cake, all thanks to ineptitude. They are the lowest of the low, the dumbest of the dumb, wearing the largest asshats in all of the lands in America—combined.

Everyone is so concerned about Greece, Ireland, Portugal or Italy failing. I say we give the world something they’ve never imagined or seen before: a $15 trillion default on all obligations, while spinning Budweiser, umm I mean Inbev, beer cans on our middle fingers, saying “a fuck-a you.”

I’ll be fielding questions tonight on Stocktwits, from 11:30-midnight, under the $FLY stream. Be there, or be considered to be a belligerent homosexual.

Jerky Ride

Wow, how absurd. After giving into market forces, selling out of my TZA/EDZ, the market went straight the fuck down. I’m not really mad, since it is expected. After all, nothing has changed but the date and our Congress is still littered with people like Maxine Waters. Having said that, I need to respect the hybrid and assume we will trick higher, by hook or crook, until we over heat. Nevertheless, I am not playing this market with any real coin.

At the moment, I am 75% cash, following my ANR purchase. I see GSVC reversed and is now eating pavement. This is to be expected with small float, high risk, equities. No pain, no gain.

My largest personal is GORO. For managed accounts, my top three are GSVC, GSS and ANR. However, keep in mind, they are all really small in the big scheme of things. I probably won’t fully commit to this market until we get a large sell off. I am very much interested in another “flash crash” of sorts. Bond yields in Europe are so high, save Germany. And, Greek debt will need to be dealt with again in September. Can you say “seasonal crash?”

Fly Buy: ANR

I started a new position in ANR.

Disclaimer: If you buy ANR because of this post, Maxine Waters will become President. And, you may lose money.

Going a Little Bit Higher

I think it’s safe to say the OVERSOLD flags in The PPT worked again. Therefore, I will discuss my current strategy.

As you know, I opted to sideline myself, mainly due to my aversion to risk. However, The PPT nailed the OVERSOLD range to the day, yet again. With that in mind, it is safe to assume, judging from past oversold cycles, we are heading back to OVERBOUGHT. If so, all of my TZA calls and EDZ shares will depreciate. Therefore, I closed out of those positions and now find myself long only.

Greece just caught another downgrade by Fitch. Big fucking deal. I think it’s fair to say, investors couldn’t care less about credit risk or debt ceilings. I have one stock on my buy list, which will be bought shortly. However, I am most likely to remain at least 75% cash until some of these credit issues are resolved.

NOTE: I will revisit my TZA calls when PPT flags OVERBOUGHT.

Jump on the Cement Bandwagon

Senator Gint (CH) is correct. The gold and silver bandwagon is a coveted one and he is the jockey. Watch him whip his Kentucky horses until they die, long a variety of precious metal stocks. I am simply moonlighting, here for the money then I am gone. My treu passion lies in other industries, separate from the homogenous thinking of the doom and gloom crowd.  However, for now, I am emphatic about gold, long GSS—liking a variety of other names as well.

None of this shit means anything to me, considering my 80% cash position. As the market melts up today, I lie in the tall grass waiting for a small doe in a wheel chair to lose focus.

The stock action is great. Investors are buying the dips and selling the rips. Apparently, the Italian crisis is not important and the Bearded Clam is firmly in charge. At the same time, semiconductor names are missing earnings expectations by a fucking mile. Hat tip to Analyst Bomber for calling it. He was right and I was wrong.

In closing, I am not buying into this rally just yet. I am playing small and keeping my eyes fixated on CDS spreads.

The Important Matter of Serving Dinner

I’ve been at the grill a lot these days, some good, some bad. When I fuck up, it is always negligence on my behalf. For example, tonight I took about 45 minutes preparing a mean marinade for my chicken. It was a balsamic and herb marinade that was sure to impress the family and perhaps some of the neighbors. Unfortunately, I didn’t feel like babysitting the grill, since my yard is plagued with mosquitos of barbaric proportions.

I visited said chicken every 10 minutes or so. I had no worries about a grease fire, since my marinade was without oil and my BBQ is brand fucking new.

Big fucking mistake.

The lighting in my backyard was off, due to some fucked up electrical issue that will be dealt with tomorrow. From a distance, I glanced at a bright orange color emanating from my stainless steel grill. I said, “Whoa upon said orange person that touches thy chicken. I will slay thee with great force of 1,000 lions.”

I flipped open the bullshit grill and the flames nearly melted my face off. Gingerly, I had placed a few cute lemons on the grill, in hopes of squeezing them onto my herbalicious chicken.

FUCKING CHARRED BEYOND RECOGNITION.

I had to rush inside and fetch a bottle of salt in order to douse the flames, before they burned down the whole fucking yard and maybe a house or two. I will have you know, Mrs. Fly was quite concerned over the status of her palm trees, as it is summer time, which means “the yard goes tropical.”

When the flames were suffocated and the chicken was procured, it looked like this:

Actual photo of Chef Fly’s dinner

Upon entering the house, I told the family, consisting of three hungry children and one angry wife: “dinner is served.”

Gold is My Only Option

I am sure my money will be invested in a variety of industries inside of a few weeks. That’s just the way I roll. However, for now, the only industry that makes sense is gold. It’s worth noting silver has become a playground for speculators and is less reliable. Although the potential gains in gold are less attractive, so is the downside.

I do not like stocks here, save GSVC. I bought GSS on the prospects that QE3 may become an option. Look for the Fed fuckers to talk it up during next month’s meeting at Jackson Hole.

For now, I am long TZA via calls, EDZ (small size), MWW, GSS and a few other small dicked positions.

My cash position is 80%.
