Fuck You Shorts; You’re Dead

I’m going to play devils advocate for a “v-shaped recovery,” albeit only on the internets.

Look you, the short interest ratio’s are through the roof. Everyone from NYC to Kalamazoo is buying inverse ETF’s, hoping for swift, yet certain, armageddon.

Let’s consider a few things:

-Banks will likely write off whatever they can, from now until 12/31/07, in order to preserve their PE ratio’s for 2008, if possible.

-Many stocks are way oversold and are due for a bounce.

-Greasy turkey leg day is near, typically a great time to be long.

-For the most part, the economy is doing well.

In short, there is a very good chance we will never go below 13,000 DOW, ever– providing the bulls man up and put the hot blade to the shorts.

As you already know, “The Fly” is not calling for a “v-shaped recovery” yet. However, it’s worth mentioning, betting against highly caffeinated, well tanned, bulls has been of heck of a bad bet, consistently, over the past 5 years.

NOTE: With oil tanking, stocks have a catalyst to run, especially retail.

NOTE II: I feel tomorrow is a key day for the near term direction of the market. Should the bulls mount another rally, the shorts are indeed dead.

    I don’t know about + 400 dow. I was watching the dow closely all day. It took 4 tries break yesterdays high, the final one being on a pullback run up. I’ll be happy as long as be stay above 13,170.

    WildW:

    DUG corresponds to twice the inverse of the Dow Jones US Oil & Gas Index. Thus, it is heavily weighted towards large cap oil stocks, namely XOM, CVX, and COP. As they are in fact up on the day, your “mystery” has been solved.

    Oh, okay, a point.

    I expected with the Nasdaq powering forward to see those 3 also near the HOD. I’m just looking for any signs of strength or weakness, or divergence.

    Actually, right after I wrote that, RIMM jumped up.

    Options expiration week never fails to go the other way of the herd.

    Just the other day, the VIX was over 30. All of those shorts and long hedgers purchasing puts to profit and protect from the downside.

    Then comes Options Expiration comes along to erode the value of those puts.

    That’s the beauty of the market.

    I got a $10 mark up on all the low end shit. As you know, the whole clothing scheme was Wood’s idea.

    I’ll lower the prices. No big fucking deal.

    Still long TBL and GYMB–retard style.

    Thinking about selling something.

    Fuck you, shorts.

    Wood,

    Just an opinion… If the shirts were dropped by 5-8 bucks, fly may see an increase in sales. If they are selling fine as is then great.
    My mother calls me collect as well.

    All of the “gear” is a fucking joke.

    “You don’t think I take this shit serious, do you?”

    Of course not, but that hat is so bad, it begs to be ridiculed.

    Instead of “ibankcoin.com” on the front of the hat, it should say something like “ASS hat” with a picture of Herb Greenberg, a burnt piece of toast, or Bob Pasani.

    Now that is building your brand.

    Fuck this retail shit Fly. You need to keep up with times. Americans are broke. They need money. Start a loan shark business on the side. You know, like lending money starting at 10% interest per week. People don’t pay up, you can melt them with a laser beam ( or show up unannounced at their home with Tony, Frank and a baseball bat). I’m sure you can average better than a 40% return per year.

    You will be our Sad Sack Shorty Bitch from here on out. We needed a whipping boy and it looks like we found it. You, my friend, are the wall-o-worry that we have been looking for. We will climb you and pummel you to a dusty pulp that will blow away in the wind. Think I am rude and crel? Naw, just like any other big balled bull I am feeling rejuvinated and will roar to life over the next couple of weeks. We will leave you wondering why you peed your pants.
