We’re in Stupidville, Again

Okay, it’s time to consider the possibility that fucktards are indeed running the trading turrets, unable to read news clippings or financial statements.

The market should not have traded up today, but it did.

As a result, I will look to overweight some longs tomorrow, providing today’s pattern persists.

On the top of my list, is the “Bank of Cocaine” aka [[BAP]]. And, as you already know, I like a variety of oil/gas stocks.

With regards to my shorts, I will add to [[FXP]] and [[SRS]], only on dips. And, I am keeping [[FED]], until the turd hits single digits.

All in all, today was a MASSIVE win for the bulls. If we are to follow the recent trend, the Dow will retest 13,000, yet again.

    Have you forgotten how to buy stocks?

    Everytime I check, you’re shorting the universe.

    I’ve got some long term stuff out there. Canadian royalties, golds, silvers, UBA, MKC, CHK, UL, HRL.

    But this ain’t over until the banks are done.

    And they ain’t done.

    calm down, a 45 point rally, in the last hour, on tepid volume is not a “massive win”.

    the market ~should~ have gapped up 300 points this morning because oil was below 130 and the number this morning wasn’t as bad as expected.

    bears are in control, no question.

    BTW — speaking of “very quietly” — notice how “very quietly” DSL is being placed into a six foot long, roughly hewn pine box, whilst it meekly protests “I’m not dead yet! I’m not dead yet!”

    Yes DSL, you are dead, you piece of casino mortgage shit, you.

    today/lately has been akin to a drunk driver who didn’t crash on the way home. A win in a sense, but nothing massive. I think he was kidding in a very serious way.

    Plainly, the iBC machine never lies. What is happening is a perpetuation of the rally that has been in place since March. We are range bound 12300-13100, until buy interest returns, which will really foster the upside move, should that transpire.

    pending…

    Massive win for the bulls.. on top of a massive build up in inventories, on top of a 1.4% decline in non-defense durables and a 4.5 increase in defense. Admittedly, the fund fucks ran all the cretin favorites up a pole today.. that’s your rise in the indexes. fslr, bidu, mos, crm.. the douchebags went on a shopping spree and there was no stopping them. NOt a dip in the 45 degree ascent. In the background however, was the quiet failure of the two year auction. Wait for the ten year when the shit turns into a fine mist vapor. 4% here we come. The stock fucks are getting some unwelcome competition now and the bearded clam eating shit paper at the bottom of the CDO cesspool has fucked half his balance shit and will send the Fed into insolvency if he tries to pull the same shit again. Murderous Hank can go suck cock in China for the next eight months, they got a province to rebuild and he is not going to turn another trick for them, although I’m sure he will bring the rouge and the corsets and try to sell off a couple more of our industries. Now that it costs 8,000/ton, up from 2,000 last year, to transport from China to Long Beach.. shit isn’t happening.

    It doesn’t feel right that the market was up today. Like milking a cow. After a night with my wife, those cow tits just don’t feel right in my hands the next morning. Yes, the market today felt like cow tits.

    [[FED]]: Short % of Float (as of 25-Apr-08)3: 62.90%
    [[DSL]]: Short % of Float (as of 25-Apr-08)3: 43.20%
    [[CORS]]: Short % of Float (as of 25-Apr-08)3: 70.80%

    “After a night with my wife, those cow tits just don’t feel right in my hands the next morning”

    I’ll bet your wife is telling her friends that after you’ve spent all day with your hands on those cow tits and who knows what else with those goats and pigs that she just doesn’t feel right spending the night with you …. keep your eyes on the cable guy or the mailman …. he always rings twice!

    Plenty of bullish speculation still in the markets.

    Take my friend QTWW for example. Yesterday, it rose 33 cents (that was over 15% for that low-priced dog). Why? Because a solar company that QTWW holds a 25% stake in got a $17 million contract.

    QTWW revenue share: $4.25 million
    QTWW increase in market cap: $26 million

    So, is the solar company worthy of a PS ratio of 6?

    [I’m sensing a certain lack of dramatic tension here. Throw me a bone.]

    Hell no. The subsidiary is not really a solar company. It is an assembler. They buy low volumes of solar cells, glass, aluminum frames, etc., assemble them (at German labor rates), and sell them in competition with much, much larger players. They are small fry performing a commodity service in a high-cost location. Six times sales? Bah.

    Although I expect QTWW to eventually trade near zero, I’m not shorting it unless it gets a really big spike.

    Ottnot —

    Why darken the magic? My one rule on these bullshit momo’s is “Don’t you even look.”

    In other words, of COURSE it’s a bullshit piece of shit, that’s a given. You just milk it until it keels, and then sprint.

    It’s a far more honest strategy in every sense than attempting to “invest” in some of these bullshit megacappers with a “valid story.” FSLR comes to mind, to stay within the bullshit industry.

    You need to sit back with bourbon in hand and watch the Elvis-Osmonds for a couple of turns, my friend. The dramatic tension is getting to you, ovah heah.

    Dooc asks: “Why would FED go to zero?” Others ask, “Is GE done going down here?”

    Answers to follow:

    In a lawsuit filed in December in Superior Court in Los Angeles, units of PMI Group Inc. alleged that WMC Mortgage Corp. breached the “representations and warranties” it made for a pool of subprime loans that were insured by PMI in 2007. Within eight months, the delinquency rate for the pool of loans had climbed to 30%, according to the suit. The suit also alleges that detailed scrutiny of 120 loans that PMI asked WMC to repurchase found evidence of “fraud, errors [and] misrepresentations.”

    PMI wants WMC, which was General Electric Co.’s subprime-mortgage unit, to buy back the loans or pay damages. Both companies declined to comment on the pending suit.

    GE to $21.

    So here I am watching this gay HGTV with plenty of gayness and all of these people are saying, in a very gay voice, “Solar saves you so much money so go Solar and get off the grid, YAY!”.

    So I am wondering to myself, what the fuck do these people know that I don’t. As you know I would sacrifice many goats and other creatures to make a dollar so I am all about it even if it means “looking gay”. So let me show you what I found, keep in mind I am very cheap and look for good deals.

    The cost of a solar system for a normal sized 3 bedroom house (approximately 2500 sq ft using 300 KWh/month) is $17,000 without batteries or installation or shipping.

    Batteries are right at $6000 for 16 375aH batteries before shipping or tax.

    Now say your like me and hate fucking unions or laborers other than Mexican’s (they don’t do solar shit) and decide to do it yourself your total cost is $23,000 without shipping or taxes or any other bullshit tools or shit you need which will cost you around $3000 more.

    Your looking at a total $26,000 without paying someone, should you pay someone your gonna pay around $10k more. Keep in mind you will need to service and replace the batteries every so often so you better learn how to maintain the shit or you will pay a ton for labor.

    The average electric bill runs around $150 per month give or take some based on how many bullshit toys you have. Keep in mind the average U.S. household used 10,654 kWh a year in 2001, or 888 kWh/mo so your already double your solar system. That comes to $1800 per year and your limited to only what your base system will fucking push out. That means it will take you fucking 14.44 years to pay for this shit in electric bills if you do all of the shit yourself and your batteries magically last forever. Ain’t happnin. So before you and your wife watch some gay show or listen to some gay idiots talking about solar shit make sure you can afford to walk your talk, it ain’t all gay green roses.

    Note: After looking again I think you will need three of these systems to be fully sustainable and off the grid based on the Department of Energy numbers so your fucked big time.

    Incase your gay enough to buy this: http://www.wholesalesolar.com/products.folder/systems-folder/OffGridPackages.html#LargeOffgridHome

    gapping:

    Solution: don’t be off the grid. You’re not in bumfuck Montana, stay on the grid and feed power back to the grid. Watch your meter go BACKWARDS during the day. Don’t buy a battery, that shit doesn’t last long anyways. Should be able to pay it off in a reasonable amount of time. No, the reason to not go solar right now is that the price is going to fall from under itself like DVDs, GPS units and HDTVs when capacity starts ramping up.

    gappingandyapping – I’m with you brother. I looked into solar to run the milking equipment in my barn. When I found out how much that phucking shit cost, I almost bitch slapped those gay people on HGTV when I saw them briefly as I was channel surfing.

    I even looked at a smaller system. I run a space heater in my barn in the winter. The thing has 3 settings, 750 watts, 1000 watts and 1200 watts. To slap up enough solar panels to run that damn little space heater thing at the lowest setting … $5,000. WTF?

    My cows can freeze their tits off before I’ll pay $5,000 to run a small assed space heater. This solar shit is for the birds.

    To me most the market movers are on vacation. Leaving the best trades crowded. Crowded with ass hole fucks that think it is easy to get rich following a trend. That is the reason you can’t figure the market out. Most the best trades are old now with all the news written in. I will buy stocks that make out when the trends fuck up. Trade stocks like airlines, ups ETC instead of shorting oil. Keep away from the crowded stuff.

    haileris – you’re one of those green phuckers, ain’t you? You’re a phucking tree hugger. You’re the reason we’re paying out the ass to fill up our tractors. You raise hell at the thought of drilling off our own shores. You’d rather have us pay up the ass to live, and send all our money to those ragheads in the middle east so they can buy tricked out A380s from those French bastards. Don’t tell me where you live haileris. Otherwise, you might come home and find cow shit dumped on your doorstep.

    Son, solar ain’t worth shit. And I’m fucking tired of sending all my money to the ragheads when we could drill in our own backyard if not for you green Phuckwads.

    I was just hoping to get a fucking solar panel to run my computers here at my house, I have 6 of them which use about 10 Amps of power total. That brings my Wattage to fucking 1100 Watts which is about fucking 790 Kwh’s per month. Basically I would need 3 of those fucking shit pile systems to run just 10 computers and I better not have any brownouts or I am fucked. So you fucks can’t tell me I will be sending any power back to this gay grid. Sorry but you can’t spin gayness. I live in the “windy city”, I am better off with a Propeller than Solar. My next post will be the cost of wind as soon as I get ahold of T. Boone on the phone, he isn’t answering at the moment.

    Pharm – anyone who would consider using solar electric power for space heating has been milking bare wires with wet hands.

    And anyone trying to heat a barn with 1200 watts is milking us for laughs.

    If you want heat, the sun provides that directly. Don’t mess with the conversion to electricity.

    And if you only need the tiny zone of warm air that a space heater will provide in a barn, eat more beans and wear windproof clothing.
