Do not be chagrined or surprised that the market is up or flat now, following -150 on the futures. “They” do not like it when stocks trade down. We’ve discussed this matter before and it is a fairly simple subject. The United States is the stock market. Without equity prices, we have a bunch of Mcdonald’s workers and Senator Gint.
Having said that, do not be lured into a false sense of security, for the European debt crisis is far from over. The only resolution available is the ECB buying Italian and Spanish debt, outright. But this is a very poor solution for the issue at hand: insolvency. Like I said before, “The Fly” is not playing the Italian game. I am not short the market, aside from a few TZA calls in my personal and EDZ stock, nor am I long.
Although I can see the market bouncing, due to the overzealous nature of the U.S. investor, I choose to sideline myself and eat oatmeal all day.
I will not bore myself to death in cash forever. Eventually, if this market refuses to drop, I will step in. I just want to see what happens this week, especially when the Italians go to auction on Thursday.
