Off to Romania

Okay folks, “The Fly” has seen enough and endured his fair share of gut wrenching losses, since the beginning of Q2. As a result of erroneous and egregious short squeezes, “The Fly” has “opted out” of the stock market and will be heading to his “vacation home,” in the rugged mountains of Romania.

There are so many things going badly, it makes little sense to try to fix them.

Commercial real estate is on fire. Banks are cool again. Fucking ag and steel stocks NEVER trade lower. And, finally, Chinese stocks in the U.S. trade higher everyday, despite those same stocks trading lower everyday in China.

Quite frankly, I’ve been wanting to get away from this crazy city for awhile. In Romania, I intend to milk my goats and cut my grass. My dinner will consist of cured lamb, onion soup and unleavened bread.

As you can tell, I have little desire to fight through this tape, being short and all. The bulls have won. The recession is over.

God willing, upon my return, this country will be under attack from an enormous horde of hungry locusts, effectively deballing those devilish farmers and sending my [[MON]] short back lower again.

    If we were under attack from Locusts MON would shoot higher as the demand for their “herbal medicine seeds” would shoot up. FUCK MON AND FUCK ROMANIA.

    Yeah the hungry locust play would be long MON. Now, if instead of locusts, it was a giant space truck full of corn? Then, yeah, press that MON short.

    PS: I took a post-it note and taped it over my monitor where FXP is. Makes my day go by easier. I highly recommend it.

    Tech is about to retake the pole as the leader in a death roll. Rim beat, and the Q’s are off – hint, Martay. And as I have been watching the leaping baboon, strictly for entertainment purposes, I am calling it – he is going to gore tech today, including aapl – take rim as the hedge since he still loves them.

    Your covering your shorts NOW?

    I’ve been selling my longs into this rally, positioning my ratio at 70:30 short/long respectively.

    I would be hesitant about shorting banks further, as the politics premium are being priced in (look homeowners).

    I’m waiting AT LEAST until April 17th, China’s GDP report, which will, I’m hoping have people chill on this China shit.

    if/when bush/cheney & cronies, decide to chance triggering www3 with a go it alone or with israel, attack on iran; then DUG/SMN will have its day & the entire market will hit the shitter

    Buying FXP makes no sense with speculation the Chinese government may support their market.

    It’s almost as fucktarded as trying to short the U.S. market with our government pulling out all the stops to support it.

    Fading either the Chinese or the U.S. governments usually results in having your goatee plucked off your face, one whisker at a time.

    The FLY:

    No you are joking. How could you leave now? Stay here and keep the fight. You escape from the marketplace and you are a loser. The FLY never loses, right? Don’t run away.

    At least buy some PAL and SWC before you go. They are doing great. Buy some tellurium. The tellurium smell goes with the onion soup pretty well, I assure you. Print this article and read while you are in Romania:

    LVS – I have perceived the depth of the fallacy of my assumptions. Since there are rumors of people unable to pay for their mortgage and fill their gas tank, the position of LVS is enviable. All the people needing a little boost with their income will max out the last of ther credit card line and put it all on the black at LVS. Sands is going to be richer than ever, and I was wrong to think that unemployment and bankruptcy is going to crimp their business. with a P/E of 244 and FPE of 30, LVS is an outstanding growth and value play all at once. I am sure they will beat their estimates by a factor of three or four next year, since the bottom is in and the croncopia is brimming over.

    Thought your comment meant that you had covered your MON short and would no longer attempt to short the ags.
