Election Trading is Gay

The market is not interested in going down, anymore. The volatility has grinded to a halt, as we wait for President Obama to give his acceptance speech.

So he will bankrupt the coal industry. Big fucking deal. Those black lunged fuckers will be happy to receive the government dole, in exchange for, umm, the black lung.

With my money, most likely, I will sell out of Arch Coal, Inc. [[ACI]] , especially since our next President is not into coal and shit.

I find it very humorous that VeraSun Energy Corporation [[VSE]] went bust. What happened to the glory of ethanol, you fucking idiots? Huh, what-fucking-happened-to-it?

Right here, right now, for some reason, I find myself long the homos from the perfume section at [[M]] . And, I like National-Oilwell Varco, Inc. [[NOV]] , American Vanguard Corp. [[AVD]] , BE Aerospace, Inc. [[BEAV]] , [[UYG]] and Apple Inc. [[AAPL]] .

Regarding my watch list, I am very close to buying [[EEV]] , [[FXP]] , Clean Energy Fuels Corp. [[CLNE]] and Research In Motion Limited (USA) [[RIMM]].

UPDATE
: I sold out of my [[ACI]] position, north of $20.90.

    Fly,

    what do you think about this Direxion funds launch of 3x ETF’s

    http://www.direxionfunds.com/index.html

    A new filing by Direxion Funds could seriously up the ante in the realm of leveraged exchange-traded funds. The firm, which is known for its leveraged index mutual funds, has filed 36 proposed ETFs with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    There’s been a lot of activity in the leveraged funds market lately, but these funds take the concept to the next level – they offer THREE TIMES the performance (or three times the inverse) of the daily performance of the indexes they are tied to. This means that the proposed Direxion S&P 500 Bear 3X Shares, for example, will offer three times the inverse of the daily performance of the S&P 500. Currently, available ETFs offer no more than double exposure to their underlying indexes, whether they be leveraged or inverse funds.

    Since you brought up the election, this was send to me from friend:

    “I know that many of you are sick and tired of all this political rhetoric but if you read just one more thing between now and election, I urge you to read the following editorial. I don’t know who ‘Michael Masters’ is or what he does, but he does write cogently and well. A Google search turns up a Michael Masters who is a lawyer in Philadelphia , but I don’t believe that he is the author of this open letter. There is a ‘Michael C. Masters’ who lives in McLean , VA – I presume, but do not know, for sure, that he is the author. However, he didn’t show up in any Google searches that I conducted, so I guess he isn’t ‘notorious’ enough to be found. I look at that as a good thing, however. On the surface, that suggests he is just another citizen like the rest of us and has no particular ax to grind. However, he HAS done his homework before writing this editorial.

    To Barack Hussein Obama,

    The New York Times carried a story on Saturday, October 4, 2008, that proved you had a significantly closer relationship with Bill Ayers than what you previously admitted. While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about it.

    The Chicago Sun reported on May 8, 2008, that FBI records showed that you had a significantly closer relationship with Tony Rezko than what you previously admitted. In the interview, you said that you only saw Mr. Rezko a couple of times a year. The FBI files showed that you saw him weekly. While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about it.

    Your speech in Philadelphia on March 18, 2008, about ‘race’ contradicted your statement to Anderson Cooper on March 14 when you said that you never heard Reverend Wright make his negative statements about white America . While your attendance at Trinity Church for 20 years is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America on March 14.

    In your 1st debate with John McCain, you said that you never said that you would meet with the leaders of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea without ‘preparations’ at lower levels … Joe Biden repeated your words in his debate with Sarah Palin … while the video tape from your debate last February clearly shows that you answered ‘I would’ to the question of meeting with those leaders within 12 months without ‘any’ preconditions. While your judgement about meeting with enemies of the USA without pre-conditions is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America in the debate with McCain.

    On July 14, 2008, you said that you always knew that the surge would work while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you stated that the surge would not work. While your judgement about military strategy as a potential commander-in-chief is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America on July 14.

    You now claim that your reason for voting against funding for the troops was because the bill did not include a time line for withdrawal, while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you voted against additional funding because you wanted our troops to be removed immediately … not in 16 months after the 2008 election as you now claim. While your judgement about removing our troops unilaterally in 2007 is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about your previous position.

    You claim to have a record of working with Republicans while the record shows that the only bill that you sponsored with a Republican was with Chuck Lugar … and it failed. The record shows that you vote 97% in concert with the Democrat party and that you have the most liberal voting record in the Senate. You joined Republicans only 13% of the time in your votes and those 13% were only after agreement from the Democrat party. While it is of concern that you fail to include conservatives in your actions and that you are such a liberal, the greater concern is that you distorted the truth.

    In the primary debates of last February, 2008, you claimed to have talked with a ‘Captain’ of a platoon in Afghanistan ‘the other day’ when in fact yo u had a discussion in 2003 with a Lieutenant who had just been deployed to Afghanistan . You lied in that debate.

    In your debates last spring, you claimed to have been a ‘professor of Constitutional law’ when in fact you have never been a professor of Constitutional law. In this last debate, you were careful to say that you ‘taught a law class’ and never mentioned being a ‘professor of Constitutional law.’ You lied last spring.

    You and Joe Biden both claimed that John McCain voted against additional funding for our troops when the actual records show the opposite. You distorted the truth.

    You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted against funding for alternate energy sources 20 times when the record shows that John McCain specifically voted against funding for bio-fuels, especially corn … and he was right …. corn is too expensive at producing ethanol, and using corn to make ethanol increased the price of corn from $2 a bushel to $6 a bushel for food. You distorted the truth.

    You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted like both of you for a tax increase on those making as little as $42,000 per year while the voting record clearly shows that John McCain did not vote as you and Joe Biden. You lied to America .

    You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted with George W. Bush 90% of the time when you know that Democrats also vote 90% of the time with the President (including Joe Biden) because the vast majority of the votes are procedural. You are one of the few who has not voted 90% of the time with the president because you have been missing from the Senate since the day you got elected. While your absence from your job in the Senate is of concern, the greater concern is that you spin the facts.

    You did not take an active role in the rescue plan. You claimed that the Senate did not need you while the real reason that you abstained was because of your close relationships with the executives of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Countrywide, and Acorn … who all helped cause the financial problems of today … and they all made major contributions to your campaign. While your relationship with these executives and your protection of them for your brief 3 years in the Senate (along with Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, and Chris Dodd) is of concern, the greater concern is that you are being deceitful.

    You forgot to mention that you personally represented Tony Rezko and Acorn. Tony Rezko, an Arab and close friend to you, was convicted of fraud in Chicago real estate transactions that bilked millions of tax dollars from the Illinois government for renovation projects that you sponsored as a state senator … and Acorn has been convicted of voter fraud, real estate sub prime loan intimidation, and illegal campaign contributions. Tony Rezko has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to your political campaigns. You personally used your political positions to steer money to both Tony Rezko and Acorn and you used Acorn to register thousands of phony voters for Democrats and you. While your relationships with Rezko and Acorn are of concern, the greater concern is that you omitted important facts about your relationships with them to America .
    During your campaign, you said: ‘typical white person.’ ‘They cling to their guns and religion.’ ‘They will say that I am black.’ You played the race card. You tried to label any criticism about you as racist. You divide America .

    You claim that you will reduce taxes for 95% of America , but you forgot to tell America that those reductions are after you remove the Bush tax reductions. You have requested close to $1 billion in earmarks and several million for Acorn. Your social programs will cost America $1 trillion per year and you claim that a reduction in military spending ($100 billion for Iraq ) can pay for it. While your economic plan of adding 30% to the size of our federal government is of concern, the greater concern is that you are deceiving America .

    The drain to America ‘s economy by foreign supplied oil is $700 billion per year (5% of GDP) while the war in Iraq is $100 billion (less than 1% of GDP). You voted against any increases to oil exploration for the last 3 years and any expansion of nuclear facilities. Yet today, you say that you have always been for more oil and more nuclear. You are lying to America .

    Mr. Obama, you claimed that you ‘changed’ your mind about public financing for your campaign because of the money spent by Republican PACs in 2004. The truth is that the Democrat PACs in 2004, 2006, and 2008 spent twice as much as the Republican PACs (especially George Soros and MoveOn.org). You are lying to America .

    Mr. Obama, you have done nothing to stop the actions of the teachers union and college professors in the USA . They eliminated religion from our history. They teach pro gay agendas and discuss sex with students as young as first grade. They bring their personal politics into the classrooms. They disparage conservatives. They brainwash our children. They are in it for themselves ….. not America . Are you reluctant to condemn their actions because teachers/professors and the NEA contribute 25% of all money donated to Democrats and none to Republicans? You are deceiving America .

    Oh, Mr. Obama, Teddy Roosevelt said about a hundred years ago that we Americans should first look at the character of our leaders before anything else.
    Your character looks horrible. While you make good speeches, motivating speeches, your character does not match your rhetoric. You talk the talk, but do not walk the walk.

    1. You lied to America . You lied many times. You distorted facts. You parsed your answers like a lawyer.

    2. You distorted the record of John McCain in your words and in your advertisements.

    3. You had associations with some very bad people for your personal political gains and then lied about those associations.

    4. You divide America about race and about class.

    Now let me compare your record of lies, distortions, race baiting, and associations to John McCain: War hero. Annapolis graduate with ‘Country first.’ Operational leadership experience like all 43 previously elected presidents of the USA as a Navy officer for 22 years. 26 years in the Senate. Straight talk. Maverick. 54% of the time participated on bills with Democrats. Never asked for an earmark. The only blemish on his record is his part in the Keating 5 debacle about 25 years ago.

    Mr. Obama, at Harvard Law School, you learned that the end does not justify the means. You learned that perjury, false witness, dishonesty, distortion of truth are never tolerated. Yet, your dishonesty is overwhelming. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty that caused the impeachment and disbarment of Bill Clinton. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty of Scooter Libby. You should be ashamed.

    Mr. Obama, it is time for us Americans to put aside our differences on political issues and vote against you because of your dishonest character. It is time for all of us Americans to put aside our political issues and vote for America first. It is time for America to vote for honesty.
    Any people who vote for you after understanding that you are dishonest should be ashamed of themselves for making their personal political issues more important than character. Would these same people vote for the anti-Christ if the anti-Christ promised them riches? Would they make a golden calf while Moses was up the mountain? Would they hire someone for a job if that someone lied in an interview? Of course not. So why do some of these people justify their votes for you even though they know you are dishonest? Why do they excuse your dishonesty? Because some of these people are frightened about the future, the economy, and their financial security …. and you are preying on their fears with empty promises … and because some (especially our young people) are consumed by your wonderful style and promises for ‘change’ like the Germans who voted for Adolf Hitler in 1932. The greed/envy by Germans in 1932 kept them from recognizing Hitler for who he was. They loved his style. Greed and envy are keeping many Americans from recognizing you … your style has camouflaged your dishonesty …. but many of us see you for who you really are … and we will not stop exposing who you are every day, forever if it is necessary.
    Mr. Obama, you are dishonest. Anyone who votes for you is enabling dishonesty.

    Mr. Obama , America cannot trust that you will put America first in your decisions about the future.

    Mr. Obama, you are not the ‘change’ that America deserves. We cannot trust you.

    Mr. Obama, You are not ready and not fit to be commander-in-chief.

    Mr. Obama, John McCain does not have as much money as your campaign to refute all of your false statements. And for whatever reasons, the mainstream media will not give adequate coverage or research about your lies, distortions, word parsing, bad associations, race baiting, lack of operational leadership experience, and generally dishonest character. The media is diverting our attention from your relationships and ignoring the fact that you lied about those relationships. The fact that you lied is much more important than the relationships themselves …. just like with Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon … Monica Lewinski and Watergate were not nearly as bad as the fact that those men lied about the events … false witness … perjury … your relationships and bad judgments are bad on their own …. but your lies are even worse.

    Therefore, by copy of this memo, all who read this memo are asked to send it to everyone else in America before it is too late. We need to do the job that the media will not do. We need to expose your dishonesty so that every person in America understands who you really are before election day.

    Mr. Obama, in a democracy, we get what we deserve. And God help America if we deserve you.”

    TC – supposedly McCain and Obama are both all about “clean coal” i.e. low sulfur coal or coal gasification. I’m not an expert but ACI supposedly has a lot of low sulfur coal, again don’t take me at my word, I haven’t been reading on it lately. DUK is in the process of opening a coal gasification plant in Indiana. I think the “patents” for the coal gasification process are held by a company SYMX, I hope that’s the right symbol.

    Personally I’m not deciding on which way to play coal until I see the details of any legislation and tax breaks on it proposed by whoever is the new president.

    Wyatt, that was waaay too long and sounds like Sean Hannity wrote it.

    When all the people who are busy calling Obama a Marxist can defend the recent socialization of our banking/finance system by people who call themselves capitalists, well then, I’ll start listening to what they have to say, otherwise it’s just pre-election propaganda.

    OK,

    Enough of my egregious insluts (sic).

    If anyone is truly making money trading or investing they would be severely deranged to consider an Obama presidency especially with the clowns named Pelosi, Reid & Frank conspiring to bend over anybody with half a brain and/or income.

    I suppose most readers here don’t make any real money in the market or elsewhere?

    You can bullshit all you want but the capital gain and other bullshit tax increases will affect my $250K+ year family earnings.

    Then there is the delightful issue of how my neighbor Steve charged up his house like a credit card and now it is worth less than he owes? Wait, he deserves a bailout!

    Give me a fucking break.

    A repeat for “Egregious” of the “Easily Offended Sniffy People’s Party” —

    “You have to pinch yourself – a Marxist radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshiped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming President of the United States. And apparently it’s considered impolite to say so.” – Melanie Philips, The Spectator (UK) 10/14/08

    Is this surprising to you? They also endorsed Bill Clinton in 1992, as he too wanted to nationalize health care.

    Paul Volcker wasn’t Marxist.

    What part of the three branches will Volker be running?

    Volker was also Jimmy Carters Fed Head, but he didn’t do much good until he was joined by Ronald Reagan.

    Don’t you too fall for the hype, Boca, it’ll be too depressing for me.

    Jake, you know I’m very fond of you, but our political views only coincide occasionally. Don’t be depressed, it’s not worth it.

    McCain/Palin doesn’t cut it for me for so many reasons, almost too many to mention. The only reasonable alternative at this point is to vote for Obama.

    Acting as if we’re a humane society has always been important to me and national health care has been a goal of mine for a long time. McCain’s method of providing national health care sucks because as I understand it, it makes the full value of employer provided health care coverage taxable compensation. The $5,000 annual tax credit won’t be viewed as so helpful when it turns out your employer plan has a value of $12,000 a year and rising.

    To me it comes down to this: McCain hasn’t got a clue. Obama is smart enough to get a clue.

    Boca, read this re coal’s future:

    http://fossil.energy.gov/programs/powersystems/gasification/gasificationresearch.html

    PX would be the way to go (a Cramer pick I think) and a ceramic membrane maker Ceramatec Inc but they are private.

    The membrane maker extends to lithium car batteries as well … btw, ROC and SQM are big providers of lithium … I need a pill … later.

    boca,

    Been to Europe lately?

    National Healthcare ios a complete disaster unless of course you like to wait 3-4 weeks to get a checkup for your cold, an xray for your son’s broken arm, or a pap smear for your daughters possible uterine cancer?

    The thing that TRULY BOGGLES my mind is how egregiously uneducated and uninformed MOST voters are.

    Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?

    Market Fool, I lived in England several years (quite a while ago) but was very pleased with the NHS care, loved it in fact. You can have your own additional private health care policy there in case for any reason you want to go to a private doctor for different or faster care.

    You’ve been fooled, I’m afraid.

    Obama has a clue, unfortunatley, it’s not a free market capitalist’s one.

    Plenty of “smart people” in universities the world over who backed eugenics and socialism from the twenties onward.

    Still a lot of them out there, thinking “this one time, I’m sure we’ll get it right!”

    “Smart” cannot outsmart the laws of economics, or human nature.

    Give me a dumb guy who knows well enough to leave it alone. Not saying McCain’s your RINO there, but at least he’s not a “world changing” socialist.
