    Granpa, no way we rally higher Monday. It will be flat or down.

    CHCI – someone’s trying to cover in Comstock, on the fear that these guys, just conceivably, possibly, might actually survive.

    They can’t cover.

    That was the dip to buy bitches. Onward and upward. Next week there should be a frenzy of upgrades supporting this move as every asshole analyst is behind th curve big now.

    “you’re”? Fly’s mastery of the English langauge (sic) has also detioriated much like his portfolio.

    Welcome to the new bubble – since the Fed will backstop any stock of economic importance – directly or indirectly – no more downside the market – vix is way down – end of prohibition – let the good times role

    We are going to keep extending and leveraging ourselves as a country for years to come and pray our kids (not grandkids) are much smarter than we are.

    Fly Language in the Post article about the WTC plans found in the trash:

    Informed of what the homeless man, Mike Fleming, had found, shocked Port Authority officials called it an egregious security lapse.

    X has announced the absolute, historical peak in the global thermonuclear commodities cycle. Today. 1:20 EST. I’m sure of it. POT will hopefully get the memo, later.

    Wouldn’t catch me in one of those accursed “star and moon” harlequin caps.

    Shorts are getting hammered and my longs are just sort of ho-hum.

    Why am I not concerned about today’s action?

    Gramps … this mongo move totally caught me out of the blue .. so I’m off balance .. it certainly takes the edge off any downturn but I’ll keep my losing net short stance for the weekend & will probably throw several additional sticks of dynamite ( more shorts) on this fire in the last hour. I think the risk/reward is right for a weekend bet. I’ll take it off either way come Monday.

    What do you think about playing Apple call options expecting similar results as Google? Buy a bunch of out of the money May or June calls Monday or Tuesday and sell them by Friday…

    Duc, I agree. However, it is damn hard to add short exposure after the last several days, although I know the statistical favor goes to the bears. At least I haven’t covered any…

    The bear market bear fairy will kick Merlins ass any day. Just ask Merlin how his portfolio is doing, it aint pretty.

    An interesting technical discussion.

    Is this why you thought we were coming down on Monday, Bruce?

    Well, at least we know Cajun is human. That GU pick he was touting yesterday has soiled the bedcovers.
