Bulls Digest Bears

A rather benign day.

God willing, the bears will get coal for Christmas, enabling the bulls to get drunk, throw “rich man’s whiskey” around the dinner table, while eating large quantities of high end chop meat.

Once again, “The Fly” was busy, on the phone all day, talking to richer people than you. I can tell you, people are thinking opportunistically, sifting through the carnage—elbowing into beaten up tech and financials.

Today, I enjoyed big dicked gains in FTK, CFC, SPF, LFT, VMW, FMCN and CN.

Also, as you know, I sold short TIF, and bought some DCR (inverse oil).

All in all, today was a “best case scenario” for the bulls. Should the rally continue, saddle up to beaten down basic material stocks, like RS, X and ATI.

Finally, this VMI fucker must move. It’s impossible that LNN is near new highs, while this “waste of alphabet letters” sucks crack pipe.

Once again, top pick is VMI.

    I added more puts at the close.

    If the Fed keeps cutting, everyone will actually *want* coal for Christmas.

    Ahhhhh…. That felt good.

    Anyway, Newequity, upside of 10% gives new highs to the S&P. Downside of 2% puts us back at yesterday’s levels.

    Is that what you really think?

    Which is more likely? In the longterm? What about shorterm?

    Posted earlier. Fly doesn’t wnat you to see it so he starts new threads.
    Hi guys…just came into the pits for lunch and thought I’d check in with the cows. Well let’s see my NSR & FDX shorts are doing quite well. Cheap QIDs…I can wait as they will soon be making me tons of cash to continue shorting this market down. BTW, I heard the White House says the economy is fine and growth will be steady in ‘08 for the election rally. I guess that means no rate cut? Oh…I forgot the fed is independent of the government and can, therefor, cut rates when economic growth is doing fine…lmao. You cows are so manipulated by the power elite as they sell out with help from the fed they paid for it’s just sad. Stay in those mutual funds in your 401K and you’ll do just fine as the markets go up over time. The fed will save the day with rate cuts that will save the housing market…wait that’s what destroyed the housing market…what a delima…no problem the middle class(not hedge fund managers taxed at 15%) will bail out the average joe by contributing their low taxes to Paulson & Bush and they will give the money to those people that can’t pay their loans and everything will be fine. Aren’t you glad you get to pay loser’s mortgages too…what a deal! After all…America is a free market economy with no government intervention(your tax $s)…lol. Remember it only took from 2000 to 2007 to get back to break-even and the $ is worth 40% less now…wonderful BULL returns. Anyway…you stupid cows keep whistling past Goldilock’s grave and I’ll consider buying my own road course track as my driveway. For you surfers out there the first decline to 12.7K was only half a baby bear wave! Hang ten. BTW, who was that that said unemployment claims would be up today…ME! Wonder how payrolls will be next week? White House says BIG increase! I believe! Ta…back to smoking lambos.

    I know you’re not a fan of technicals, but QQQQ, DIA, SPY all indicate island bottom reversals. Bullish MACD crossovers, bullish EMA convergences, and uptrending RSI confirm the bullish price action. It looks like you bullish fundamental perspective of the market has technical backing.

    Dell adapters (with the power chord) suck. I just bought a replacement six weeks ago and the end is already frayed and it stopped working this afternoon plus it cost $65.

    I like to follow Steve Spurriers advice to his QBs. Don’t try to force a play-just take what the defense gives you. Today was one of those days in the market-just take what it gives you. Dull day.

    Fly,
    you’re a crazy man shorting TIF. You don’t think those fuckers know how to hedge. Also, it’s a commodity you don’t think they can pass the cost on to the consumer. And don’t they sell diamonds and fake shit more than stuff with gold in silver. Bad odds.
