Get Your Tax Hike Party Hats On

Obama already won. There is no need for you to vote. With his win, gallantly, he will take your “excess savings,” and send it to homeless people in the streets of Philly. Also, he will take your 401k plans and use it to grease the tracks of his “Obama tanks.”

Do not fight the trend of outright socialism. It is in vogue; everyone is doing it.

Regarding the market:

I am betting the oil sector trades down tomorrow. I bought some [[DUG]] . And, I took down a small short position in that son of a bitch of a whore Petrohawk Energy Corporation [[HK]] . I realize that last sentence is offensive to many of you bible lovers. Too bad.

“The Fly” thou shou [sic] use profuse amounts of cursible [sic] jargon, with great vigor. Blesseth be thy horse cows and may the force be with you.

Amen.

Fly

    The S&P 500 is up more than 20% in the last 6 trading sessions. This is NOT the market anticipating an end to the credit crisis. This is NOT the market anticipating an end to the recession. This is NOT the market embracing the socialist coming to power.

    Lets not kid ourselves here. This is the Market ignoring all the fuckery coming down the pipe. It’s once again, long on the tooth, and bulls will get beBalled again very soon.

    I have noticed the fly has stopped using the word “egregious” to describe his gains.

    This displeases me, because I always enjoyed his use of this adjective. It’s as if the old fly is gone.

    So I will cease using “egregious” as an alias, forthwith.

    Boomer — love CBL to $20, minimum. They knocked the div down “too much” for optics and will be forced to raise it to adhere to the 90% REIT income rule.

    Which will of course look, “verrah good.”

    Enjoy your 16% yield in the meantime.

    Danny, you might get another chance tomorrow… if CBL acts like DDR did when they cut their dividend (it dipped for an unbelievable sweet entry under $5, now at almost $14).

    I dont’ expect it will dip like DDR did, as that was in coincidence with that major REIT meltdown when CBL itself went down to the low $6 range, but you may get brief entry pt. tomorrow.

    yes, I was hoping for that very thing. DDR was a STEAL then, wish I would have grabbed a meaningful amount lower. my stepdad got DDR at 8, and I finally pulled the trigger at 11 at his behest, but only 150 shares, since I weighted my reit basket more with wri-d, and was expecting profit taking in the name more so than I did with wri. I also made my first pm buy.

    Boomer: “optics” is an old equity analyst term, which means the company is doing “X” for the market’s perception.

    In the case of CBL, the market is expecting a divdidend cut, and since they are not getting paid for their current dividend ($2.18) they company is giving them one (to effective yield of $1.48), even though they can easily afford a much higher payout.

    And in fact, the REIT rules which force a REIT to payout at minimum 90% or taxable earnings will force CBL to raise their dividend very soon, thereby giving them another “optical moment” which should boost the stock.

    As for “at least $20,” I am simply reducing their current yield on $1.48 to a more manageable 7.5%.

    Keep in mind that for much of the last decade, CBL’s yield was well below 6%, and, at times, below 4%.

    the only thing about CBL that put me off was its high leverage. I don’t know enough about their cap structure, when debt is maturing etc. and didn’t check. Better late than never I suppose.

    Fellas, ladies, OTB degenerates, get ready for even more volatility with 3X ETFs. I shouldn’t be the only gambler excited about these. Write this shit down:

    If you’re a 300% bull type needing a bit more leverage …

    Name Symbol Index Daily Exposure Target

    Large Cap Bull 3x BGU Russell 1000 300%
    Small Cap Bull 3x TNA Russell 2000 300%
    Energy Bull 3x ERX Russell 1000 Energy 300%
    Financial Bull 3x FAS Russell 1000 Financials 300%

    And if you’re a 300% bear looking for inverse juice …

    Large Cap Bear 3x BGZ Russell 1000 -300%
    Small Cap Bear 3x TZA Russell 2000 -300%
    Energy Bear 3x ERY Russell 1000 Energy -300%
    Financial Bear 3x FAZ Russell 1000 Financials -300%

    BEAV could go lower.

    BA is currently negotiating with their unionized Engineers. That contract expires on 12/1/08. As we draw nearer that date, there will be fear that the Engineers go out on strike, further delaying the 787, and setting back production of all planes across the board once again. BEAV will be a big loser if that were to happen. So, until BA announces a new deal with its Engineers, I can’t see much upside for the BEAV.

    Then again, announcement of a deal could cause BEAV to lift. But, don’t all union negotiations go down to the wire at best, and way past the point of strike at worst? So, can’t see BEAV going higher until we draw closer to 12/1 and no strike happens.

    Make sense?
