Not Impressed

The rally is boring. I thought today’s rally would be so fantastic, so severe, that I’d be throwing guns at my trader/servant this morning. Instead, I find myself mocking this rally, while eating a very large bowl of oatmeal.

All of the usual suspects are up (commodities, Chinese fuckers). However, I decided to do nothing. If the rally holds, I might step in and buy some [[UYM]] or Potash Corp./Saskatchewan (USA) [[POT]] . Basically, I find myself conflicted between hating the stocks that are gapping higher and understanding the power of the Thanksgiving rally. Barring seasonality, I would not even be thinking about buying stocks, period.

Bottom line: there may be more upside in the inverse etf’s down here, than fucking around with the fucktarded upside ones.

UPDATE: I am selling BE Aerospace, Inc. [[BEAV]], over $11 and American Vanguard Corp. [[AVD]] over $12.

UPDATE II: I bought 10,000 [[FXP]] , under $70.

    Bow tie Jim has declared:

    America is bankrupt. American government bonds are extremely overvalued. “The world’s last bubble.” America is in debt for over 13.000 billion (13 trillion) dollar and adds a 1.000 billion dollar debt each year. According to Rogers this can not continue for long. Therefore, he went short in long-term US government bonds. “These bonds have peaked.” By the way: Rogers owns Dutch government bonds. “They are safe.”

    Rogers is an idiot:

    Oil
    Rogers: “Whether oil costs 45 or 145 dollars, it doesn’t really matter. What does matter is that with oil, like with many other commodities, supply is decreasing while demand is increasing. In the long run this will result in a considerable increase in prices.”

    “The question is not if the price of a barrel of oil will increase again, but how expensive a barrel of oil will be eventually?”

    How can he get away with saying shit like that.

    D’joo ever see the movie Lucky Number Slevin?.

    Starts off with an FXP horse type deal. Fixed race, of course. Coked out horse dies before the finish, unfortunately.

    Good movie, btw.

    Rogers is exactly correct on oil, you just have to have his timeframe. He’s also correct on bonds. BTW, when both Fly and Rogers (who I believe Fly describes as an elderly bow-tied fucktard, more or less) agree on any trade (i.e. long TBT), I assign it 100% probability of success.

    j Says:

    NOT one monetary aggregate has turned down. In fact the monetary base is at a 90 degree angle.

    So how is there going to be deflation when M1, M2, M3 and the monetary base are all up with the monetary base big time.

    Where’s the money going dog? How the fuck is there going to be deflation when the aggregates are all pointing up, you foolish foolish canine.

    small fry: i heard from a friend on a desk that GS got butchered in the VW fiasco. regardless of the validity of the rumor, you know how it goes with rumors and selling. he told me they were looking at a loss of a few billion. seems absurd to me, since GS usually manages risk decently well, but i guess you can never really know.

  35. Rogers is 66 – what is he doing? His “timeframe” cannot be too long. All these old gurus are getting creamed here – Kerkorian just dropped out of Delta Petroleum – another bust for him. I beleive we can be oscillating here for many months with danger of another leg down – hey, this is unprecedented stuff. We just had 2 5% days down which has not happened since 1987 and GM – once the world’s largest corp. is falling apart along with Ford and Chrysler – yeah, it looks like a bull market just ahead.

  44. Yep, Slevin is a great movie.

    Paulson may be a dirtbag, but he is obviously not stupid. How else could you help pull off all this crap and still end up where he is. He has probably already TARPed himself a few billion. I’m sure in the end he will not get what he deserves, like almost everyone else involved.

    I’m done giving a shit about that, all I want to know is how to profit…or at least recover some of my wasted tax dollars.

    Oh and of course I bought a little more FXP this morning after having stepping out Friday afternoon and having my sack ripped off.

    You want to see a “tell?”

    Take a look at the 10 year chart of the $TRAN (as in “Dow Transports” as in “Dow Theory”), and draw your fib chart from the March 10, 2003 low to the July 23, 2007 high (yes, there was a spike higher in May of ’08, but it was de minimus)…

    Do you see something interesting that happened on October 28th of this year?

    Transports lead.

    Watch also UPS. That’s a personal “tell” I’ve spoken of before.
