Another Godly Day

The egregious powers of “The Fly” are strengthening by the minute. He is fighting many battles on numerous fronts, and winning on all of them.

In other words, “The Fly” is Godzilla and everyone else is Japan.

During today’s tape, I made massive quantities of coin, while heavily caffeinated, on short [[CSE]], short [[EWBC]], short [[FED]], short [[CYN]], long [[RIG]] and long [[NOV]]—just to name a few.

I gave back a little in my [[HRB]] short; but that’s okay. I have lots of firing power. My ammunition drawer is filled with nuclear bomb grenades and mustard gas. Fuck around, I’ll throw some mustard gas in your face.

As an aside, it appears the banks are sliding down the sloppy slippery slope of sloth. I suspect we will see many more dilutive capital raises, to go with egregious writedowns, almost immediately.

“The Five Reverse Horseman” of death and fun had a splendid day, as did most regional banks.

Towards the end of the day, I started a short position in [[FMBI]], and added to my [[REW]] position. In short, with such an ugly tape, there is no fucking way tech will skirt the selling programs.

Eventually, the pain will become too great for money managers, forcing them to raise cash. When this happens, I suspect REW will sprint to $65.

    Mr. “The Fly,”

    Did sell your NOV today?

    Just curious. I didn’t sell mine and am feeling like a pizza-bloated pig after today’s move.

    Urp.

    We won’t sleep until oil trades for $50/barrel, it’s “natural price”, God willing. Naturally, we won’t “rein in” the speculators who bid up stocks in that scenario. Seriously, who has a better idea of how much oil should sell for? A bunch of “traders” and “analysts”, or the US Government?

    what happens when the banks try to raise capital and the door slams shut?

    which will be happening shortly.

    Fly? This you? With your luck I think it might be:

    “A New York man wanted to use his retirement funds wisely and decided to buy a farmhouse in Portugal. The New York gentleman bought it as is, including a barn that was welded shut. Once purchased they opened the barn to find a warehouse full of vintage high performance cars worth over $35 million!”

    Analyst: Rocky Mountain banks may cut dividends(12:22 pm ET)
    NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Sandler O’Neill Research on Monday released detailed predictions for several publicly traded banks in Colorado, Idaho, Utah and Washington. A group of Sandler analysts met with executives at eight banks including AmericanWest Bancorp. (AWBC: news, chart, profile) , Sterling Financial Corp. (STSA: news, chart, profile) and Zions Bancorp. (ZION: news, chart, profile) , and most execs expected further write-downs and pressure on banking stocks. “Problem credits, and potentially charge-offs, would continue to grow over at least the near term,” said Sandler O’Neill managing director Tim O’Brien. “Views on capital needs varied, with some admitting that dividend payments could be cut and others suggesting that payout levels are sustainable.”

    Boomer, that story sounds like bullshit.

    That dude found $35 mm in cars, just like Llewelyn Moss found $2mm in cash out in the desert, under a tree.

    Right Anton?

    Crude,

    PDO reminds me of IOC back in the pre-collapse days. Now IOC looks like it’s getting ready for another crack run.

    Looking at PDO, and remembering passing on it @ $7, makes me want to part my hair with my air gun.

    That was no air gun, Beatles-cut, that was a

    Jake – it is internet legend, and yes, fake. The story was just too good to pass up given Senior Tropicana’s winning streak.

    Crude broker…
    I decided to put my nuts on the line and buy MXC instead as a “compulsion buy”. Pretty much the same fucking insane type of runup stock, only more so. PDO is looking for oil in California. That just seems retarted to me. WTF do they think they’re the beverly hillbillies? (anyone even remember that old show?) .

    MXC has about half the market cap, and is in the Permian basin. That sounds much better to me, and they could skyrocket some more, just for the hell of it.

    BUT PDO does seem like a good “WTF” trade here, particularly if you are in a “do the opposite” mode.
