LOADING THE FUCK UP

“The Fly” is back to kicking old men down open sewer drains, while guzzling Monster Energy soda from his diamond encrusted chalice.

I want to play the long side here, with great vigor, howsoever with a certain amount of conservatism— if I may be so bold.

I am looking for a 500 point move up from here. My primary hedge will be [[FXP]] . But, already, I have greatly reduced my exposure to it.

There is no reason for the market to run higher; it just will, because I fucking said it will.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, “The Fly” is the market, navigating this bitch of a whore like a bicycle skipping over moon rock.

In the event I am wrong, I have a cash position of 30% to correct my errors.

    Dude, how does 30% cash correct your errors? If you’re wrong you’re wrong. 30% stays where it is, parked in cash earning the princely sum of .25% pa.

    Yeah, I’m glad to see some green again.

    Still my EFU position is vexing, mainly due to the egregious 8 point instant loss I took when I purchased it.

    Everything is offset. Lower raw costs offset by lower demand.

    One sector that may do well are grocery stores.

    Those bastards are slow to lower prices. They will reap the early benefits of lower prices, via squeezing the hungry fat guy.

    You gotta wonder how this “Krav Maga” became all the rage amongst martial arts enthusiasts.

    Here’s my theory: Hong Kong Fanboys got tired of the increasingly complex Asian discipline names…

    Started out, plain ole “Kung Fu” and maybe “Judo.”

    Then they extended the search, going all the way out toe “tai kwan do” and “ju jitsu” and various “crane and monkey styles” etc.

    One day, the chief nerd came in and said. “That’s it, we’re taking it in a new direction. Whadda we got in Eastern Europe?”

    “Eskrima” or “Escrima” refers to a class of Filipino Martial Arts that emphasize stick and sword fighting.

    The teaching of the basic skills in FMA are traditionally simplified. With limited time to teach flashy and intricate techniques, only skills that were proven effective in battle and could easily be taught en masse were used. This allowed villagers, generally not professional soldiers, a measure of protection against other villages, as well as foreign invaders.

    Going Long Means Losing Money

    As I stare at the long list of my holdings, almost all the longs (each of them carefully chosen) is in the red, and all the shorts are in the green. It’s as simple as that. Las Vegas Sands, which popped up to a 30% gain in a couple of days, sank into a loss today, so I dumped it. Plenty of other issues I bought last week have been closed out with 20% losses.

    Anyone trying to peg a bottom is going to get burned. The tables have totally turned. I spent a long time Waiting For Godot, and Godot is finally here. Now it’s the bulls turn to wait for years to “their” market to return. This is a bear market. This is a technician’s market. The ultimate bottom is years away.

    The old saying “The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent” cuts both ways. All the good reasons for a bottom don’t count. The market is, on the whole, completely bearish for years to come. I am snuffing out the little bull that was emerging inside of me. Sure, if we plummet to 500 on the S&P or something, maybe there will be some bargains. But I am focused on shorts.
