No Reason to Buy Stocks

With today’s spike in my inverse etf’s, “The Fly” was up another 2.8%, much to your chagrin.

Aside from a surprise Fed cut, there is no reason to be long stocks. I mean, really, aside from price action, is there any fundamental reason to go long? The downturn in the economy has just begun. There is a lot of pain left for bullish hand fuckers.

As sure as I’m sitting here, [[INTC]] will print $15, sometime in 2008. The end user is hamstrung. Do not get sucked into PE ratio value traps. The “E’s” are all lies.

Beneath the surface today, [[ABK]], [[MBI]], [[RDN]] and [[PMI]] were obliterated. Should any of them go belly up, look out below; the financials will get drawn and quartered.

Towards the end of the day, I initiated short positions in [[DOW]], [[DD]], [[FCX]] and [[MON]], via [[SMN]]. Additionally, I bought more [[DUG]], anticipating a cascading sell-off in [[XOM]]. And, I bought a little [[SKF]], on this dip.

The notion that the financials have bottomed is laughable. If your brokers are telling you to go long, fire them—for they fucking suck meatloaf.

    I am saddened to see you have not joined Wood and I in shorting the entire Amazon Basin, and the first letter of the overhyped “BRIC.”

    This is the Raptor speaking:

    I’m enjoying all the current madness, naturally.

    My stellar recommendations that I’ve posted on this site speaks for themselves and so I’ll offer all of you degenerates a trade:

    Buy 1-month GBPCHF risk-reversal, strike 2.1800.

    I’ll return next month to tell you how much money you could have made.

    Have a pleasant evening.

    Holy crap, take a look at the chart of BHP….

    Schnikey’s — from market darling to below it’s 200 day EMA in 2 and a half short months…

    Great “market metaphor.”

    Of course you are.

    No reason to be jealous. I could buy and sell the Tout nine times before noon.

    This guy is a fraud and you lemmings are too stupid to figure it out.

    This storm has not reached White Squall status by any stretch of the imagination. Bunker down via inverse ETFs on strength!!

    and make sure not to forget about continued geopolitical risk.

    Basic Materials

    Had another up day on the Basic Material holdings; however, daily charts are showing a bit overbought/sold for the holdings (daily charts). The stocks either blow shit all over theflyisajoke and reveal his true identify, or we experience an oversold bounce. Of course I would rather findout who the fuck theflyisajoke is – but that’s just me. Yet another day of Basic profits:

    Shorts

    OLN -0.34%
    RTI -1.47%
    FCL -4.75%

    Longs

    SMN 8.07%

    I’m off to Park City in the AM to play with the stars at Sundance. Talk to you all next week. I wish you all the best and a shitload of profits, but I have the feeling we bounce a bit. Still short but picked up some long favs for the long haul.

    Yeah, fuck you fly. To me, you’ll still be that guy who petitions his school to be on the homecoming queen ballot. Doing bold, but idiotic things.

    I’m up 14.51%. Was +16% two days ago, but after some kindergarten mistakes and missing out on yesterdays huge opportunity… Well, walking on water will be delayed for next week.

    Anyways fly, if you beat me this month then I’ll let you valet my car.

    Holy Fuck, a bunch of morons rambling shit that means nothing on a fucking worthless site that obviously was hatched by a 4 year old. Do real traders do this? Of course not! Do any money managers do this fucking crap? Of course not! Don’t be a fool, fuck this site and run as fast as you can.

    The Fly just got stepped on.

    You retards who are coming here must be disgruntled MVIS longs. It can’t be a coincidence that as the stock tanks, more retards come here.

    Check this out: Go fuck yourself in a moose barn.

    If you think I’m full of shit, then move on. I urinate on fucktards like you. My brilliance is documented, while your stupidity is met with a swift kick in the nuts.

    Fly… I tried to post that chart again, and this time it’s too huge, and cuts off the “meat” of the story, no pun intended.

    I’d just erase it, but I don’t even know how to do that… apologies.

    haha, well said Fly. these are the same brainfarts who believed the notion that real estate never goes down — LOL.

    Fly, do you still think we are getting a mini-rally? i noticed you took off FXP and some others. i really don’t think the fed is going to do an emerg. cut — they would have done it already.

    i think a good way to hedge that uncertainty is to be long some of the financials that have already got the shit whipped out of them, as they will likely rally the strongest. i’m thinking of buying $2 of fxp for every $1 of financials.

    FXP was below $150 in july

    FLY, is there a reason you’re keeping your commodity and commodity-like shorts on while you expect a rally?

    also, would you buy more DUG on weakness?
