The Stimulus Check Rally

Wow, the market just about erased yesterday’s losses, within 15 minutes of trading, thanks to nothing.

Come on people, retail sales were up 1%— only because of the government’s “stimulus” checks were spent by shopaholic fucktards, who enjoy to poleax their checking accounts. Why else would they name it “stimulus checks”?

Take the numbers with a large grain of salt.

What’s interesting to note is moderate strength in energy stocks, despite crude being busted out, down more than $3 here. Also, gold is getting a fortune cookie to the head, due to “King Dollar” rallying.

With the ridiculous [[LEH]] news hitting the tape, I would expect the bagholders, who signed up for stock at $28, to back out of the deal. Or, it will be reworked.

I have every intention of fading this rally with stupendous sales. However, I will be sure to check my emotions at the door, while trading. There is a remote possibility the market can sprint another 200 points from here.

With that in mind, I will look to add to my short positions into strength. I like short [[CHL]], above $70 and long [[FXP]] @ $78 or lower.

    It’s a short covering rally…Look at all the shitty companies…up huge;

    I think its a great opportunity to re-short shitty firms…however you never know what tomorrow CPI’s # may be.
    After all, gasoline prices could be down after seasonally adjusted just like last time.

    Fly, you re-shorting DSL?

    Actually, we’re considering making that stimulus check a monthly thing. You know, to support our free market capitalist system. That’s the kind of “bold forward thinking” that will keep America prosperous!

    The rally was built on the futures overnight, which were built on the banks of Japan and Switzerland buying the dollar to load up the overnight futures. The news in reality land is shit. Unemployment up nicely. Prices of imported good , up nicely. Stimulus check going to pay for high groceries, nicely. This is the most manufactured bullshit rally yet. All to ceove the death of LEH, which should have the market down 300

    the Calvino sell dollar and buy chf.

    My wife’s sister showed up at our house for dinner one time wearing pink CROX. She’s a retard and full time airhead (with big tits). Kinda puts things in perspective, though.

    Check out TMCV. The recommendation came from a MM who said their balance sheet is clean and strong, and that the takedown of the stock is due to guilt by association. Thoughts?
