Coiled Oil Springs

The lower the market goes, the greater the chances are for a ‘bounce back/short squeeze.’ I know things look dire at the moment. However, as sure as I’m sitting here, the market will rally again, much to Mr. Mortgage’s chagrin.

Now, I do not have a death wish to bottom fish for banks, despite my dastardly [[UYG]] position. However, I think it makes sense to put my balls on the oil guillotine, for the blade is very dull.

I am not afraid of you oil bears. You’re all weak and old. The whole lot of you.

Just know, if I hear any of you talking shit about [[RIG]], I may spend resources to track you down, then have your mustache punched off at your favorite eatery– while drinking a fine Chardonnay.

Other energy stocks worth buying are [[HP]], [[NOV]], [[ARD]] and [[OII]].

Aside from longs, sell short any bank located in California. Personally, I am short a variety of banks, yet again, including: [[HBHC]], [[CATY]], [[WABC]], [[HRB]], [[PACW]], [[HDB]], [[PCBC]], [[VLY]] and [[UMPQ]].

Thus far, PCBC and VLY are leading the way, for inclusion into the NEW “Reverse Five Horsemen” of Death and Hard Work.

NOTE: Another buck shaved off [[PZN]]. Losers. Look for [[JNS]] to follow suit.

    Mr Fly,

    You omitted OXY from your list of oil longs. No finer stock will you find. They will beat earnings when they announce this month.

    Bank on it!

    LMAO– We get the SKiFfles ballad and now we get 60’s music blended with stock commentary all in the same day. I have a feeling this 60’s theme has legs— can’t wait for The Turtles, Mama’s and Pappa’s and how bout some Lovin Spoonful

    Danny – I saw poet Allen Ginsberg in the early ’70s when he came to the UF campus and that’s what he sounded like.
