13,000 Here We Come

According to the latest crude inventory report, we don’t have enough oil—coming in a tad under 9 million barrels short.

Fucking shocker.

On that news, the market is ripping higher.

Just face it, the market wants to go higher, regardless of the news. Once again, the market has morphed into a magical “pricing in” machine, where all bad news gets “discounted” and good news is treated as a surprise.

If you want to short a market like that, good luck; you’ll be out of the business in no time.

At the top of my buy list are two financials: [[BAP]] aka “The Bank of Cocaine” and [[AIZ]].

Also, you have to love crude here. I’ll stick with [[PCZ]], [[PZE]] and [[FTK]]. Also, on the news of a secondary, [[ARD]] is getting punched. Wait for it to stabilize, then buy it. It always comes back.

Don’t look now, corn is getting hit again—falling under $590. Should the drop accelerate, while ethanol remains high, “The Fly” will be buying [[VSE]] and [[AVR]] with both hands.

One of my spec/lotto plays, [[QTWW]], is behaving nicely. Frankly, I could care less about the fundamentals. It’s all about price action with bullshit stocks.

Finally, I am shocked to see [[BWLD]] going higher everyday. I thought the economy was in the shitter? Conversely, “Burrito King,” [[CMG]], has been getting slugged on a daily basis. It’s almost as if the two companies switched ticker symbols or some shit. It seems odd or unnatural that BWLD is outperforming CMG by such a large margin.

Something has to give.

    Flag BEXP. Just broke above 14.50, after a short term consolidation. This stock is headed for at least 20. Possibly within this quarter.

    It looks like FTK wants to hold it’s 50 day. I hope it does, because I bought some despite your scary disclaimer. I don’t want to get my mustache punched. 🙁

    CMG gives you gas and intestinal discomfort.

    Most everyone likes BBQ’d / hot wings. People can eat more of them because they’re “bean free”. Plus, the bones make good projectiles that can be launched at trader/servants.

    Buy BWLD with both hands (and little towelettes).

    RE: LEH

    There was a 61.8% fib line (strong, iow) at $38.70, it got a little above that today and faded.

    FWIW.

    If WNR goes any higher from here, I might be tempted to buy TSO, VLO, ALJ and SUN and wait for some more buyout rumors.

    Anyone care to start a VLO buyout rumor ?

    Covered half my DSL position this morning at $7.50.

    Sometimes you just can’t continue staring a “gift horse” in the mouth.

    Hoping for another opp to reshort, however.

  18. POT To $300

    Anybody playing POT long (likely only Lord Duc and myself around here) should know this. There’s a growing sense the material stocks are done. Any selloff in materials that bleeds into POT is wrong. Those dips will be bought by smart guys.

    Second, any transitory strength in the dollar often leads to a knee jerk reaction to sell commodities. People selling POT on those days will be selling their shares to guys smarter than the sellers.

    Third, the nitrogen heavy fertilizer guys (CF, TRA, TNH) do not enjoy the same barriers and pricing power that POT and MOS have. POT’s valuation correctly has a premium built in due to it being the “Saudi Arabia of Fertilizer” and having more exposure to potash than anyone else. Additional nitrogen capacity can be brought online much quicker than potash. Over time, I expect the market to further differentiate between the nitrogen guys and the others, causing the POT premium to widen. Long POT/Short TNH on a dollar neutral basis should work for the risk averse, but just know you’re going to be short a divvy of at least 6% after 2Q numbers are reported, which will be blowouts for both POT and TNH.

    JPM is doing great today. Celebrating the arrival of the big hollow wooden Bear inside the city walls. Keep celebrating douchebags, the short is there now. RKH is having a party as well.. Key was just kidding yesterday, they really have a great loan book, and so do all other regional banks. MOS, the piece of shit driving up the cost of my lettuce is going to roll over.

    POT-to-price-of-oil

    huge oil dump on surprise positive news is probably not a bullish sign for commodities. Not to mention that all this hyper-commodity crap would pretty well doom civilization in the immediate future. POT saw 12 trading hours of its old glory days; that’s enough.

    End of month BS window dressing. Got in some good SHORT entries today. 13K no way. Not until we go back to March lows which started this afternoon and then have another bull shit rally with another FED rate cut. Fly you do not have the balls to be a BEAR. I guess that is why you’re a fly.
