“The Fly” Wins Again

I’ll have you know, this afternoon I offer you zero financial advice. Instead, I will inform the internets of my “unseemly,” yet entirely expected, string of unparalleled victories.

“The Fly” had his best day ever, with gains in excess of 17%. That’s right fuckfaces, 17%.

While it’s true, this victory was awfully pyrric, with irreversible damage done to the state of my internal organs, via last weeks “fuck you, you’re dead” collapse. Nonetheless, I won again and will continue to win, until my body is buried inside of a custom made pineapple coffin (“The Fly” has already reserved his final resting place, which happens to be a giant pineapple coffin).

All day, “The Fly” roamed his office, enrobed in triumph, dressed in the garments of a God, white robe and sandals.

In addition, he (“The Fly”), drank the sweet nectar of ambrosia, from his diamond encrusted chalice, while dumping the ashes of his aged cigar on top of Tim Knight’s bullshit blog page, which “The Fly” visits for laughs and humour [sic].

While many of you bears feel as if you have been dosed with hallucinogenic mushrooms, with the Dow closing up nearly 1,000 points, “The Fly” is cementing himself as an immortal figure of finance, amongst frolicking fuckfaces of folly.

In closing, do not ever doubt the time traveling efforts of Senor Tropicana aka Plutonium Petey, else he will track you down— and punch your fucking hose nose clean off your face.

    How can the FED with a straight face guarantee inter-bank lending!! What the hell happens when there is a “RUN ON THE FED”…

    Take a good look at world real-estate prices. It’s all out of control. Global real-estate has been running hard since 2004. Putting the US tax payer on the hook for all this shit just caps my ass.

    I just know there are over seas banks, foreign countries, hedge funds out there just waiting for the chance to dump this shit on UNCLE SAM!

    “How can the FED with a straight face guarantee inter-bank lending!!”

    Have you seen a Hank Paulson press conference, my peniley-impaired friend? He can’t do much of anything with a straight face.

    But yes, that is the point. If there is a “run on the Fed,” they would have to call out the Army and clear the streets, lest the wouldbe bank runners desired to be “paid in lead.”

    I don’t see any other way to get US banks lending to one another again, however.

    what happens when global unemployment jumps? People will want their money market funds or drain their checking accounts. Poof theres more pressure on banks. What happens when the FED decides ok we dont need to gurantee inter-bank lending. Is there a run then.

    Or will we “sun set” that too.

    Becarefull what you wish for.

    From Bill Cara:

    October 13, 2008
    Cara’s Commentary & Community Chat, Mon., Oct. 13, 2008, 10:37am ET

    After one hour of trading today, the US equity market has rallied about +5.5%, which pleases me. But the jury is still out. Should today’s session finish strongly, followed by a strong open tomorrow, there will likely be a rally into the year end.
    ADDENDUM 3:07pm ET

    ADDENDUM: 3:07pm ET

    The DJIA is presently up +8.1%; the S&P500 +8.4%; and the NASDAQ Composite +8.5%. As I watch prices soar, I am listening to fear-mongering Talking Heads tell the audience that the bond market is forewarning the worst economic recession since the Great Depression. So what does that mean for equity traders? Let me tell you how much profit was available to equity traders throughout the Great Depression. I am certain nobody is telling you this!

    S&P500 records:
    June 1, 1932 to Sept 7, 1932: 4.40 to 9.31 (gain of +111.6%)
    Feb 27, 1933 to July 19, 1933: 5.53 to 12.20 (gain of +120.6%)
    Oct 19, 1933 to Feb 4, 1934: 8.61 to 11.82 (gain of +37.3%)
    Mar 14, 1935 to Mar 5, 1937: 8.06 to 18.68 (gain of +131.8%)
    Mar 31, 1938 to Nov 14, 1938: 8.50 to 13.78 (gain of +62.1%)

    The average gain for the five major intermediate-term Bull cycles during the Great Depression was +92.7%. Nobody can take back the losses of those of you who were long all the way to the bottom on Friday. But on Friday I posted the full-out Buy Alert at 3:40pm ET. In the Week In Review on the weekend, I urged you again to Buy. I am a Bull, and will be until I believe the risks are too great to be long stocks.]

    If the Gov insures inter-bank lending. Who will guard against fraud and terrorist activity? Will Uncle Sam have access to sensitive bank documents from other countries? How bout banking info from Iran and Saudi Arabia, Syria. Those countries that support criminal activity.

    How bout blatant fraud, it wouldn’t be the first time foreign countries default on debt.

    So in the end me Needle Dick gets it in the ass. While Flud, Blankenstien trot off into the sunset.

    While you banana’s celebrate some big dicked gains. The GOV is setting up for a nice increase in FED taxes.

    Still not 17% but I lack the stones and commitment to risk that much either. I never stressed too much last week knowing that this snap back rally would come. Luck helps too I admit.

    At the moment, it doesn’t look like it worked out so well for GS and GE common shareholders after Buffet came in, but that could change soon. This guvmint deal is 25x bigger and spread across more entities…

Biggest movers were ROM, FCX, CHK (Thanks Aubrey for the buy at $12). Now I am up on AAPL and V and want to leave them on, can anyone tell me their thoughts on holding these positions without downside stops? Thanks and congrats to all on the day, even though we are still down 13% in the past week.

    None of banks getting government money was given a choice about it, said one of the people familiar with the plans. All of the banks involved will have to submit to compensation restrictions, said the person.

    The government will also guarantee the banks’ newly issued senior unsecured debt, making it easier for them to refinance their liabilities, the person said.

    $25 billion to JPM and Citi and $20+5 billion to Goldman and Bank of America, and it is a mandatory investment, per the NY Times. Somehow they are claiming the deal is set-up to not dilute the common. Not sure how that happens, but who cares as long as the story sticks for 48 hours.

    $25 billion to JPM is going to light a fire under UYG.

    SPX 1100 this very week wouldn’t surprise me, heaps of performance anxiety by the mf and hf crowd after today.

    Still, all in until 10000.

    Small Fry Says:

    $25 billion to JPM and Citi and $20+5 billion to Goldman and Bank of America, and it is a mandatory investment, per the NY Times. Somehow they are claiming the deal is set-up to not dilute the common. Not sure how that happens, but who cares as long as the story sticks for 48 hours.

    $25 billion to JPM is going to light a fire under UYG.

    They issue prefered stock. May have a coupon who the fuck knows. No voting rights

    Blow up the ballon again.

    I might get kicked off this blog for saying this, but Tim Knight has been on fire as of late.
