Oh boy are the bulls a nervous group of loosers [sic]. Just yesterday, we were heading to 15,000. Fast forward one day, we are now setting up to retest the March lows. However, if we are to retest the March lows, shouldn’t that already be “priced in,” effectively allowing the bulls to shit down the decapitated necks of the bears?
I must admit, “The Fly” would love to see this market trade down to, oh, let’s see, 9,000 Dow. I can’t stand the market, with its constant “pricing in” mechanisms.
Regarding shorts, I like [[LEH]] and [[MER]] here. If you’re lazy and want a broad basket, go with [[SKF]].
In short, it appears the reality of run away inflation and a fucked consumer is finally hitting home, leading to knifing equities. At the moment, I am short financials, China and long energy— to sum things up.
As a reminder, my energy positions include: [[ARD]], [[NOV]], [[RIG]], [[FTK]], [[VSE]], [[BIOF]], [[AVR]], [[PCZ]] and [[CLNE]].
Don’t forget, the dollar is being “prison raped” today. Getting long gold, in a big way, is a fucked up way to invest; but it may lead to obscene profits—in the near term.
Top pick: FTK
UPDATE: Corn is weakening, late in the day. Should that fucker reverse, you want to get long ethanol producers in size.
