Burn It All Down, Girls

Redemptions forcing selling. WFC‘s CEO comparing this market to the “Great Depression.” Doug Kass going bullish.

I could go on.

This trade is too fucking easy. Buy the close– sell the open– short the afternoon.

Repeat.

Look you, don’t do what I do. It’s past “funny sell off.” This is serious business. The last thing I want to do is contribute to the subprime housing crisis, via subprime internet stock picks.

With all the topping action in leadership sectors, it’s dangerous to buy here.

Me, I’m like that Astor guy in the Titanic movie, drinking rich man’s whiskey, as the fucking boat capsizes.

However, I will say, RBS looks like shit on a spindle. I hear some fucking “shoes may drop” on them.

Good. Braveheart cocksuckers.

In closing, the trend is broken. Don’t chase stocks down, while the floor keeps being lowered. In a serious recession, most of your stocks will be 20-50% lower, from today’s close.

Off to eat hot dog skins.

    Ouch, this would effectively bankrupt all retail longs on margin.

    I’m buying more.

    Sure you can move to cash and wait it out but even the money market funds aren’t safe right now, so what can you buy? Can’t buy US stocks, really can’t buy international stocks, won’t touch bonds, my cash fund might go to 95% tomorrow, real estate is a bust, commodities are too risky at these levels so what does that leave us?

    Fun investment facts:

    Goat sales typically increase over the holiday period.

    In 2006, the average price for a Billy goat was $200 / cwt. Nannys were $110 and Kids were $100.

    However, current prices indicate an increase of about 22% in all three types, mainly due to demand for goat milk / cheese and religious practices.

    In 2007 the Day of Sacrifice (Eid al Adha – Muslims) will be about 5 days earlier than in 2006 and may fall on December 26, 2007 depending on sighting of the moon.

    More irrelevance.

    The Federal Reserve injected more than $47 billion into the banking system on Thursday, its biggest temporary daily infusion into the U.S. banking system since just after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

    Notice how the Federal Reserve $47billion cash injection is nowhere near the top stories of the day (at least on Yahoo!), providing additional proof of my hypothesis that we are force fed the bad news (as I hypothesized in my comment over here ) to further stir up all this fear.

    I’m not saying that everything is good, cause obviously this subprime bullshit is fucked, but with news/outlooks playing such a huge part in the market, it would be nice if there was some objectivity.

    But as this post proves, it’s a lot easier to write negatively and to criticize. Fucking media!

    Very true, DPeezy. Go to any of the mainstream financial sites like Marketwatch over the weekend and without fail it’s “LOOMING DISASTER” headlines. That site, and all other mega financial sites are a heap of fearmongering shit. And I am sick of watching Erin Burnett getting her undies all steamy everytime the damn DOW futures point to a huge drop at the open.

    Dammit, who is Juice? Fuck, that’s the 3rd time I’ve asked.

    Dpeezy, those injections of liquidity get paid back typically within 24 hours, but usually no greater than 3 days. So, what you should be asking is what would be market have done without it, and what will be sold tomorrow to pay it back?

    Seriously, most of it goes to banks.

    If the market recover near term and we avoid a bear market I am going all into China. Buy every single China lotto stock and hedge with a little FXP. Screw it. China will double in the next 6-9 months. Tiny shit like XFML will trade at $50+ as mania sweeps China.

    fly — why not focus on your awareness of a down market: short the 2nd-tier names; short financials on strength?

    The downward trend is in place as much as the upwartd trend was in place in March ’03.

    Weak volume today… we may see weak bounces into Thanksgiving. The real blood-letting may not come until December.

    But then, I got sucked into that “rally” just after 3, and I run a third-tier blog that is currently on hiatus, so what do I know?

    Clearly though, worse stuff is down the road… whether it hits in December or early next year doesn’t really matter much.
