Gotta say. These moves look pretty ballsy right now.
Fly, do you see this bailout getting passed before the weekend? It looks like you do.
Are you still long Skiffy (SKF)?
Do you believe this bitch will explode once shorting the market becomes legal again on Oct. 3rd?
My trading seems to mirror the Mets fortunes, very depressing.
I own a very small amount of SKF.
Fly,
Thank you for the update. This is what I like on your site.
Win or lose trade, The Fly shines by disclosing his holdings, sucking up his loses, being nimble and moving on to win again……
coal’s gonna come back, right now
This sell off is all a game designed to increase urgency amongst lawmakers to approve the bailout package. Think about it for a second. If the markets were roaring the last 2 days, the urgency would decrease. With the 350+ point drop yesterday and further downside today, Paulson and Bernanke can point to this as evidence that the bailout plan must be approved ASAP.
PCX going green, could be front running the sector???
Costanza time:
The market is going higher, because assholes think it goes lower. I have an asshole radar in my office.
You’ve been warned.
JRCC off to the races.
or not. I’ll STFU now.
Is there any one company on the right side of all this credit default swap implosion?
All I hear about is the doom. Isn’t there one lucky bastard out there smoking a cigar?
Or do we stick with trading the impending increase in inflation?
The market will test the lows you “BULL” shitter.
I doubling down on SRS and SMN, to protect my financials long.
May the best man win.
The PPT gave me FED and look at her run!
Ha.
Betting against me again?
See where that gets you.
take a look at sil folks, silver play with a massive breakout. seems like it might carry forth.
Amazing…
It’s like fly turns a dial and pulls a lever and the market moves. How does he do that?
he does that by picking stocks long like WLT n BTU the last couple days!
That JOSB (Joseph Banks) sale I saw on the tube (buy one suit get two free) must be going pretty good. Kind of makes me wish I wear suits to a job.
“The Fly” is adroit – moves like a …..sort of like a ….fly. I don’t think that I trust SKF any more.
TC, Yeah what happened to casual Mondays and Fridays? Thought those guys were toast and look at them run … Maybe The Casual Male is looking at them for diversification.
I’m hearing REITs are outperforming due to some being added to the short sale restriction list.
If you’re looking for a washed out Ag play from the long side .. take a gander at ADM
Fly, you blew out your WNR? I would think it has some room to run yet.

Forced Buy-ins
9/23/2008 2:48 PM EDT
Traders are starting to receive warnings that forced buy-ins of shorts are going to start occurring. Today is trade date plus 3 (T + 3) following the SEC Emergency Order dealing with naked shorts. That means if you don’t have actual shares borrowed your short will be covered automatically.
This might give the market a little boost but be aware of what is driving things.
JOSB +30% in 1 week? How did that happen?
JOSB is a shorts cult stock. They love to be short that stock since the beginning of time. Absurdly high short int.
The short selling ban is no such thing. The ban prevents the shorting of the cash equities on the banned list. However, futures contracts were never included in this ban. If someone really wanted to get short the banned financials, they could still do that. How? Well, quite simple really. How about shorting the entire market using the S&P futures contract and then go LONG everything you don’t want to be short via different equity baskets, ETF’s, options and swaps. This would leave NET SHORT ONLY THOSE VARY SAME BANNED FINANCIAL STOCKS.
Granted, this is terribly inefficient, but it works.
I expect global-coordinated interest rate cuts in exchange for monetizing foreign bank paper.
Overnight short positions not worth it.
buttscratcher you are a genius, no kiddin! maybe now everybody will stop complaining about not being able to short etc.and talk about something else
