Just Shut Up

Quit talking; you’re making me sick. If any of you talking heads were within 30 yards of me, I’d have your mustache knocked off with an idle lamp post.

The market reversed today, off the lows. Under normal circumstances, I’d say we were heading higher for the next week or two. But, something is different this time. There’s some sort of dark cloud over the market, which isn’t going to disappear after one intra-day reversal.

The market needs a catalyst to jump. It needs Warren Buffett to step in and rip the throats out of the bears, via buying out [[C]], or something like that.

However, we all know, that’s crack pipe dreams.

Instead, we get to enjoy the constant and persistent cornering of the oil markets, at the hands of ‘sovereign wealth funds.’

Please, don’t tell me the 900 billion dollar Saudi Arabian ‘sovereign wealth fund’ isn’t buying massive quantities of crude futures. The oil bubble will pop, when those fuckers endure an $80 down day in crude. You’ll know oil is going lower, when the cameras shift to the crude traders in Dubai, showing despair— and men with their turbans in hand.

Until then, oil is going higher and there is nothing you or your stupid friends can do about it.

For the day, “The Fly” was flat, losing less than 0.3%. I had gains early; but they were stolen from me by asshole auto stock lovers.

All in all, the sentiment is still extraordinarily bearish. On any spike, get your list of stocks worth shorting ready for action.

With my money, I am ready to sell [[EWBC]] above $8, [[FMBI]] above $20 and [[TCB]] above $13.

    Do you still have ibankcoin t-shirts?

    Also, I think with SBUX closing 600 stores and the stock continuing to go into the shitter, a great short will be AAPL. Don’t ask me why, I can just feel it. There is a correlation there.

    I am feeling extreme pleasure at the sight of SBUX closing stores. I fucking hate that place and the people who patron it.

    So do you think that the middle east is saying “FUCK YOU BUSH, BACK THE FUCK OFF”, and the only thing that is going to fix this economic stranglehold is a significant change in foreign policy? Oh wait, we still got Mr. Mortgage’s sobering stats and the banks lying and shit…

    Anyone read the vanity fair article on the fall of Bear? Slick shit.

    there are groups that shoot against things he pumps on his show.

    The US economy is strong and resilient. Our financial system is stable. The Iraqi’s are living free in a WMD-free democrazy. While drilling for oil on the White House lawn, we just struck oil, a major find (or an underground pipeline), which will lower gas prices for the national holiday to .99 per liter – whatever that means. Our evil empire friends from Korea ain’t such bad guys afterall. And thanks to global warming, my ranch in Tx will soon have a nice view of the Gulph coast. And lastly, my fellow Americans, my man Bernacke is going to start distibuting all those SUV’s he’s been reposessing to the poor and downtroden of our fine county.
    God bless America! Happy 4th of July!

    AU CONTRAIR has been quiet while this bear market runs…but now the tides have turned again. The last time I tried to save a bearshitter named FLY he sadley rode the SKF down the sewer.

    Bottom line…time for the BULLS to run. Cover or have deep pockets to add to bearshitter positions in hopes of a profitable escape.

    AND….giddy up boy Pete N. said he is not buying the bounce. Contrary indicator if there ever was one.

    Off to get some recipes for roasted bear.

    Speaking of low life action, looks like they can make this most recent episode in the lives of Mike Tyson and Fitty Cent into its own full length movie.

    (or at least a season of The Wire on HBO)

    You may have to give the bulls some rope here and let them throw another Fat Bottom party.

    I’m thinking SPX 1340-1360 for an upside party target before reality sets in again.

    I just heard from a friend who’s been in retail forever. I think he sums it up nicely. –

    “this has spun way out of the “sub prime” area, and is hitting everything… there will be a major retrenchment of the economy and profits…our company will NOT be able to raise prices, and it will be that way for a lot of manufacturers to retailers…and consumers… as raw materials skyrocket, and cheap labor in Asia disappears….not a pretty picture….”

    Sure I egregiously blew up my dot-bomb hedge fund experiment, MetaMarkets, from 80 million at its peak to 8 million in a matter of months. ( We started with $40 mills) Should that stop me from being able to voice egregious opinions on anything from the markets, to the economy to politics? Hell, NO !

    Long Live Asshat Dennis Kneale!

    btw, Lawrence Kudlow is a saint for giving me work.

    The only reason GM didn’t report worse numbers is they gave 0% financing for up to 72 months and had huge cash rebates. That my friends is not sustainable.

    I have a feeling oil may pull back some here before it goes to $150. Many of the energy stocks are flying huge bearish pennants with a pole planted on May 1st as are OIH and USO. Not to mention many daily and a couple weekly gaps below that will get filled. Oil could correct some tomorrow or really break down next week. Things look great at the top(for oil); never ending Asia growth bs, new war with Iran bs, peak oil bs, Nigerian supply disruption bs, and no refinery capacity. What is the catalyst for it to go higher here? I’m looking for a 30 day correction and then a Gulf hurricane to send it to new highs. Supply data tomorrow will be interesting. If we have a build due to “demand destruction” which curiously showed up as a topic for pundit discussion today oil should turn down. What would happen if the ECB did not raise rates on Thursday and the dollar strengthened? Funny how hanky panky is meeting tomorrow with the French President who is the new rotating President of the EU. If oil turns down do we get a 30 day BEAR rally in the markets lead by the beaten down sectors like the auto stocks that reversed today? Just some thoughts.

    A primer for shorting stocks hosted by Eric “the oil barrel” Bolling and the sexy Rebecca Gomez on Fox Biz’s “Happy Hour” … surely a bounce is at hand.

    Au contrair, a short term rally wouldn’t surprise me. After all, ag is near a breakdown, which could trigger/indicate a rally, and market is extremely “oversold”. Also, other world indicies aren’t at yearly lows, which could cause a rally if the world markets don’t all hit yearly lows.
    However, the vix uptrend is intact, and the chart patterns of the indecies looks very bearish. We could retest the breakdown, and that would only mean a very mild rally. Would be hard for me to envision a rally. What do you see that has you so convinced?
