Get Your Chopsticks Ready

As I sit here, drinking copious amounts of vino, like a fucking catholic priest, an epiphany hit me like a bag of rocks under a busy overpass: buy China.

Just do it. There are so many laughable reasons to spit on their graves, stemming from their make believe shopping malls to their hilarious unemployment problems. Just know this: most riots will be met with tank shells being lobbed into small villages.

My bearishness is so ridiculous right now, I am my own contrary indicator. For fucks sake, the world isn’t ready to end yet. I haven’t even advertised iBankCoin on CNBC yet, talking shit about Mark Haines and his fat fucking stomach. And, I have yet to sky dive into a giant bowl of jello.

Plus, Howard is writing books and shit. I am a much better writer than he is, as everyone north of Atlantis knows.

So, where am I am going with this post? For all you know, I could be fucking with you, writing this shit as a joke, in order to sucker punch some of you with poisonous peanut butter sandwiches.

No, seriously speaking, I will commit X amount of dollars to “Chinese fuckery,” mainly because it makes me feel like a sophisticated “man of the orient.” I wear the garb and talk the language, when ordering food on the phone; I might as well “go all in” and buy up millions of dollars in equities too.

Here are some stocks in my shopping carton:

CHL, CSKI, YZC, COGO, LFC, NTE, CHA, STV, WX and EDU.

NOTE: There will be more “Chinese Burritos” worth perusing, many, many more.

Get Your Lotto Game On

Men with burlap shirts bought a variety of stocks today, mainly to “test the waters” and fish for a market bottom. Unfortunately, those same men will soon become victim to gruesome financial castration, as the deflationary vortex settles in.

Mind you, I’ve been buying “all things Chinese,” as of late. However, I do so, not necessarily to curry favour [sic] with a certain Chinese official, but instead to take advantage of wholesale, and rapid, Chinese fuckery.

Only a grande [sic] country like China can seemingly buck the current trends, with up equities in a down equity world. Having the great displeasure of being cursed with gifts of insane investment skills, “The Fly” is forced to hedge his short bets with longs.

Just to recap: the market tricked lots of people into egregious long positions today. Under the surface, STI, GE and BAC are in grave danger of credit downgrades, which in turn will cause sheer panic on Wall Street.

Life is like a game of scratch off lotto. Every once in awhile, it makes sense to buy a bottle of Snapple Iced-T instead. However, I’ll have you know, this is not one of those times.

NOTE: Ignore all “bitch of a whores” on CNBC.

NOTE II: Internet guru, investment genius, Howard Lindzon has a new book out: “The WallStrip Edge.” If any of you are interested in building a web venture, I strongly suggest buying this book. Despite Howard paying me to write this, the book is a good read.

Mystery Tape

Despite pervasive weakness in the banks, stocks are offering a respite to the bulls, via a 1.5% spike. Leadership is widespread, minus banks. However, the biggest gains can be found in the metals, specifically RTP, RIO, RS and MT, just to name a few.

In my opinion, Chinese stocks offer a wonderful “Costanza” trade here. As you know, I am long FXI and CHL. In addition, COGO, YZC, EDU, STV and MR look decent, down at these levels.

On the short side, I continue to hold onto my lotto tickets (SRS, DUG, ERY, FAZ), in an effort to, well, hit the lotto.

Just know this: the market cannot run without the banks. So, this rally is very suspect. However, there is room for some “bounceable” upside here. If forced to pick a bank, through knife or gun point, I’d buy BLK, with a tight stop at $103, in order to play a potential bank rally and hedge other bank shorts.

Run For Your Lives

There’s no action today. I find myself, unamused by the whimsical movements of the Dow, I’ll have you know.

Personally, I am simply waiting for the bond holders of banks to get wiped out, amidst government sponsored cram downs. Oh the glory of such a scene should only be reserved for the very best, with the deepest and most prestigious gene pool. The looks on their (bondholders) stupid faces, when they receive an egregious government notice, via certified mail, will be endlessly priceless.

As an aside, it appears our rotten to the core government is trying, mind you, to steal a trillion dollars in a bill called “stimulus.” If it wasn’t bad enough that these motherless whores stole $1 trill during the Iraq war, over a period of 6 years; now, they’re are attempting to hasten up the process by stealing the next trillion in 1 week.

What a land of opportunity.

There is no stimulus in the stimulus bill. I find that rather peculiar and quite odd.

As for the today’s tape:

Thus far, I am having a Michael Phelps day, including the weed. In my world, all of those gold medals, plus a joint, is good living. Anyway, I am long SRS, DUG, ERY, FXI, CHL, MT, BUCY and FAZ.

While it’s true, “The Fly” has other positions, most of them are too small to matter. Plus anyway, I try to remain focused on this here blog, in order to cram down my thoughts for those with low intelligence quotients.

Bottom line: A very bad sell off is nearing. Put the dog in the barn and the kids in the basement. It’s about to get Zach Karabell ugly up in this piece.

The House Wins Again

I’m glad to see this Monday fuckfest over with. I had to deal with all sorts of misfits, fucking up my mojo, attempting to “put in another bottom.”

You stupid fucking bastards.

Nothing worked today, unless you were short crude. Big strength in GS and MS, while death knocked at BAC‘s door. Commercial Re stocks were getting buried this morning, only to forge ahead with, yet another, late date rally, effectively fucking my SRS position.

Basically, everyone loses on days like today.

All of you reflation fuckers got punched in the nuts, with TBT knifing lower. And, amazingly, XOM finished up, while oil closed at the lows. There is some real fishy, fishy business going on; I don’t like it one bit.

The Government is getting all protectionist and shit, looking to raise taxes, in egregious Smoot Hawley fashion. And, at the same time, there are many of you who believe the current economic decline is a standard run of the mill, nothing to see here, downturn.

Good day to you, Sir. Indeud.

At the end of the day, I am right and you are wrong. Just fess up to the fact that you are not better than me, not now, not ever. The market was tossed into the back of a Caddy, then shot 9 times, all the while you were declaring “buy the dips.”

Sure, the market may bounce, here or there, or even everywhere. But, when all matters are considered, “The Fly” games this fucking market like a pimp in a town full of unrepresented whores.
