ATTENTION: The Fly Wishes to Have a Word

Let’s just put it on the table, shall we?

“The Fly” nailed the bottom and is smarter than you and your Dad combined. Can we agree on that?

Thanks.

LIBOR is no longer an issue. Now, all we have to worry about are silly fundamentals. However, there is no need to worry about that either, considering earnings season is just about over. Nonetheless, I am holding nearly 65% cash, just in case we get a post election debacle.

If not, one must suck the marrow out of the bones from this market, via egregious commodity plays or beaten down tech. My preference, as you already know, is in Ag—via CNH Global N.V. (ADR) [[CNH]] , American Vanguard Corp. [[AVD]] or Potash Corp./Saskatchewan (USA) [[POT]] .

Let it be known, my fucking traders are the most incompetent imbeciles on Wall Street. These assholes are completely devoid of reason and would bring down any brokerage firm, if given the chance, through their idiotic decision making skills.

And, let it be known, the universe of inverse etf’s are feeling the knife of certain death on their scrawny necks. Indeed, those who are short equities shall feel the wind of my robe and the point of my sword, as the “Imperial Wizard of Equities,” aka “The Fly” mushroom clouds his way up the totem pole (it does not matter that this sentence makes no sense. Be gone!).

“The Fly” is enjoying glorious glory, via outrageous stock market wins. Even my IT guy, Jeremy, is rather perturbed and quite jealous of my victories, for they are without warning or reason. They just happen and it vexes men, who look at fractals in their spare time, to no end.

In closing, I will not buy any inverse etf’s today. Instead, I shall purchase the finest bottle of aged port around and guzzle it down, as if my liver was made from sponges.

Top picks
: BE Aerospace, Inc. [[BEAV]] , American Vanguard Corp. [[AVD]] , [[UYG]] , [[M]]

    Tavrida Black Muscat 1938 wine Massandra Collection

    The Black Muscat grape variety was brought to the Crimea in the first half of the XIX century and became known under the name of Muscat Kallyaba. The wine distinguishes itself with its strikingly bright juicy ruby-garnet colour, smartly sparkled in a glass with various soft glints of ruby and beautiful precious crystal colour. If this is special gift you can pick the delivery date after you checkout

    There are a few well known producers of fine wine in the world. Massandra – the oldest winery of Ukraine – is one of them. Today Massandra comprises a main large winery and nine state farms. A vast area of Massandra stretches all along the South Coast of the Crimea – a narrow strip of land – from a settlement of Foros in the west to a small town of Soudak in the east. Subtropical arid climate, detritus loam, and a compound mountainous relief present unique conditions that give special flavor to well-known European vine varieties and a birth to unique, high quality strong and dessert wines.

    If you go to barchart and look at ETF sectors you will see that this was program buying on all ETF’s in the lowest 100 list. Looks like the start of program buying not the start of a big rally. Even the FLY is trading small. We may have seen the bottom but it will be tested again before we start a real trend with volume. NO

    LIBOR Looks Lower Again
    By Tony Crescenzi
    RealMoney.com Contributor

    Today’s indicators on LIBOR point to another decline at tomorrow’s LIBOR setting, which would be its 18th consecutive decline. One of the most important of these signs is intangible — market sentiment. The very positive behavior of equities markets worldwide are a sign of improvement on the confidence front, a vital part of the inter-bank system.

    A second positive sign is today’s decline in swap spreads, which reflect sentiment on credit spreads. The 2-year swap spread, for example, is down 7.5 basis points to 117.3 basis points over Treasuries.

    The 10-year swap spread is down 2 basis points to 51 basis points over Treasuries. Swap rates tend to fall when investors would rather have floating-rate debt obligations than fixed-rate debt obligations.

    A third sign that LIBOR will set lower tomorrow is the behavior of near-month eurodollar contracts, which have posted decreases of about 10 basis points today. Eurodollar rates tend to track LIBOR very closely.

    A fourth indicator, Tullett-Prebon’s broker screen, which contains quotes, albeit sporadic, on the next day’s LIBOR setting, indicates that market participants are betting on a 2.53% 3-month rate, which is below today’s setting of 2.71%.

    Not so quick FLY….you are very smart, but what about banks still hoarding cash? Is that not the same as LIBOR rates being at the top of their parabolic moves?
    I would love to call a bottom with you, but the long term picture does not support that.
    If the DOW closes above 10.3-10.4 for a minimun of 5 trading days then I wil concede ….maybe….

    Needle Dick-

    It’s best to remain on the sidelines and wait. Though I don’t think it’ll happen, the bulls could push this fucker up another 1000 points. This will create another opportunity to ride it back down as we challenge, then set new lows. We don’t need the first 5-7% of the reversal … wait for a clear change in sentiment.

    Remain patient, and ammo dry.
