Keep An Eye on LEH

That piss o’ shit is getting flushed and the market is ignoring it. Actually, the market is acting like a scared kid, putting his hands over his eyes, in order to avoid seeing the horror.

I have no position in [[LEH]]. However, if I had to bet, I’d say that fucker is going out of business.

[[PZN]] is almost single digits. Frankly, I do not think that firm deserves to stay in business. They lost 28% of their assets under management last quarter!

And, many of the other brokers are “doing the Lehman,’ via diving daily. From [[SUSQ]] to [[MER]], they all blow.

I see some of you think your bullshit Honda Accord is in fact a time machine, via selling short my [[RIG]]. Go ahead, have a ball. Just know, betting against “The Fly” is illegal in 32 states and punishable by lethal injection or electric chair.

Gold looks sweet here. [[DGP]] gets it done.

And, Finally, [[JEC]] is rallying today off of SGR‘s numbers. To hell with both of them. I want to sell JEC right here, right now.

Top pick: short [[CAT]], short JEC

NOTE: Aside from LEH, keep an eye on [[FNM]], [[FRE]], [[FCSX]], [[NLY]], [[CMO]], [[MFA]] and [[MTG]] too. No way the market can hold up with all this shit floating around.

    Bess at DealBreaker.com reported that there’s a rumor about PIMCO allegedly withdrawing their business from Lehman.

    I think we need to add “Through the Floor Thursday” to “Turnaround Tuesday” to the market lexicon.

    With FRE and FNM credit spreads blowing out, LEH better have effective hedges that are performing well, cuz I’d assume the long side of their book is getting crushed.

    Agency REITs like CMO and NLY are taking it up the poop shoot, too.

    fwiw – I met a former investment banker fm PJC (Piper Jaffray). He considers it a short. While they don’t have hedging risk or reward like LEH, BSC, GS … they also have no IPO pipeline for the foreseeable future & this is the time of year when they get things lined up in the pipe.

    I am currently hanging lose (sic) in South Carolina, where it’s not only not illegal to bet against the Fly, but there are state subsidies in place to do so.

    Something about you making fun of crackers, once, or something like that?

    Anyhoo, I just picked up a bunch of “Anti-Fly” scratch-offs at the last “Fireworks & Peaches” roadside stand I stopped at this morning.

    They use a nice picture of you, at least.

    Juice… true dat. There’s a reason US Bank spun that Minnesota shit off.

    Also, I just heard from a buddy at Broadview– a tech-centric public deal oriented firm in SF. I didn’t realize they’d been bought by Jeffries.

    IOW, another “short to $5” play.

    Had to open up your mouth about it didn’t you? Who the fuck do you think KIller Hankwas talking about MOnday with the bullshit orderly disposition of major firms pep talk. And then the bros blow out fannie and freddie out of the water with an insolvency call. That’s to throw the bloodhounds off the trail. Then the fake rally, to let friends and family get out. But yes, you put the pieces together, why not.

    Calvin — Georgia is one of the “remaining twelve eighteen states” as well (most located within the Southeast).

    I believe the lobbyists have called the bill “Woodshedder’s Law.”

    BYD looks to be racing to $0. Highly levered, contracting EBITDA, and part way through construction of Echelon, a $5 billion super luxury megaplex.

    “Ok, I changed it to cabbage.”

    You knew the insinuation of your word choice.

    “Sorry I hurt your feelings, Boomer. You need to get a thicker skin though man.”

    For me, it is a matter of faith and justice. I reject the underlying assumption. If you write me, I will give you a couple of books by people who changed my world view on this matter. boom blog at gmail dot com.

    “ps: I will submit that that woman is a fucking derelict and has NO BUSINESS IN A LEADERSHIP ROLE.”

    No argument there.

    One of my wife’s girlfriends once asked me what a MILF was. I just smiled and said, I wasn’t exactly sure, but I thought she might be one.

    Interestingly enough, it was while I was watching that very film, in the theatre, that I got my first bj ever. Of course that has never happened in a movie theatre since.

    ridiculous.

    that story about milf weed was funny, I had to look it up.

    (sadly, much to my chagrin, I don’t get showtime, so I don’t watch weeds that often).

    I’m not here to make friends.

    I’m here to make money.

    I don’t need listen to anybody’s bullshit tips to make money in the markets.

    However, I believe deeply critical thinking is necessary to be successful at trading and/or investing.

    I also believe one needs to have a thick skin, good sense of humor, and not take themselves or others too seriously to succeed in life.

    Some here take themselves waaaaay to seriously.

    People who take themselves too seriously are gay.
