Loser Rally

This is a suckers rally—and you know it.

A friend of mine just called and bitched about being down today, despite being 100% long.

This rally has the look and feel of a loser.

With my time, I’d rather cook up some “Asshat Stew,” than fuck around— trying to catch a bottom.

FXP seems viable here.

    I think you are right, but I would not pull the trigger yet. The down move has stalled. Somebody is buying …

    So is it possible to get over 100% float in short interest… BZH was around 95% on Nov 15, can’t imagine what it’s at now. Sure would be nice for someone to rescue the homies so this shit pops. Anybody? Bernie? Congress? Bueller?

    Dude, I’m not saying the market will never go up again. I’m just saying that historically, there is more than one leg down during these types of moves.

    If the bounce holds, then we’ve seen the 1st leg.

    I think there will be another leg down, which will break through this recent low.

    I am posting this for FUN….K, LOL !

    Cramer says someone tells him that more cash infusions are coming to 3 DIA compaines( Maybe I read it wrong anyone should go to realmoney and read it for them selves, its his last post )

    and I throught this was well done, even through we all know the script: Its a reply to cramers post on how things are better at c and the credit mailase today then yesterday::;

    So, things are better now like they were better
    on March 8th? You know, the day you wrote the worst of the subprime debacle was over —- which was 26 hours after you wrote that every subprime lender except Countrywide was heading for bankruptcy —- which was 2 weeks after you mocked the bears on the financial sector —- which was 5 weeks after you said you were in league with Doug Kass —- which was 3 months after you send to buy LEND in the $40s for a double…..Oh, wait, I forget, you’re only sin is being flexible.

    Frosty- for your premise to be viable, the Arabs would have to be able to see the future. They can’t.

    At this point, the question becomes (assuming they are going to bail us out of this with oil money) do we wait until a major bank faces bankruptcy? Do we let the indexes shave off another 10-20%? Believe me, Abu is early here, and it is better to be wrong than early. Smarter money will wait and get much better prices.

    Again, I don’t buy the premise that the Arabs will bail us out. I’m just debating with you.
