STFU: We Rally

I can’t stand some of you rally haters out there, whether you lurk on the web or in real life. The funny shit is: the most bearish apocalyptic people I know were the most bullish, like 2 weeks ago. All of a sudden, these hatfuckers found “The Great Roubini,” ate a few of his meatballs, and now announce his edicts daily.

You fuckers make me sick. I know good investors when I read or talk to them. I can tell if someone has what it takes to make me money within 2 minutes of small talk. Mind you, the discussion does not have to be about stocks or the economy. I like to see how people think or react to intelligent or absurd statements.

Now, if you do not think we should rally today, following a 300 billion guarantee from the U.S. government, you’re smoking crack—plain and simple.

If you do not believe Citigroup Inc. [[C]] is going significantly higher, over the next month, you must have a heroin needle stuck in your neck.

And, if you are wasting money, through executing short sales today, might I suggest getting a brain biopsy done, STAT?

See girls, it’s not about winning everyday or about walking around with the coolest blackberry. Life is about, listen very closely, life is about kicking the other guy down the sewer pipe. And trust me, I mean that in a very sincere way.

Back in the old days, men would meet on muddy battlefields, in order to chop each others arms and legs off. Today, in the digital age, we just destroy each other financially, via egregious stock trades. You know, find out what Steve is short, then buy it as a result.

At the present, my top picks are Citigroup Inc. [[C]] , [[ROM]] , [[UYM]] , Bank of America Corporation [[BAC]] and General Electric Company [[GE]] .

Check my previous posts for more ideas. I’m fucking busy now.

    UYG has a ton of ground to make up. I see SKF is barely down, this is due to continued fear in my mind and not trusting this rally. Should this stick that thing will be sold like the banks were last week. UYG has the potential to go to 10 near term, I mean hell it was just there 2 weeks ago. Personally if you want to play in the space long UYG would be good for a move. I also like long V short DSF.

    I am getting my teeth kicked in right now with this bullshit rally, but like DevilDog says – It’s about winning the war! The war is still going on and I don’t think now is the time to change my war plans. There will be one day that I will change plans but right now I think the weary bulls are fighting their last battles before being stomped down once again by the claw of the bears and the shitty economy

    You know what Citi needs? That woman Meredith Whitney to slap a “BUY” rating on Citi. After all, she was bearish at $10, now at $6 AND a massive capital infusion…I could see a huge rally coming off that…

    Then again, the likes of Jim Rodgers (ultimate bearshitter), must have her on payroll.

    Firm, uncompromising, positions will fucking kill you in this market. If you’re bearish, you better get your fucking head out of your ass … this market just made new lows, and this rally was expected. Don’t give your gains back now!!!! It could go a lot higher, in a short period of time.

    This is no time to get caught in any mindset that makes you believe anything outside of reality. This market is now up 800 points from the low last week. In other words, stop thinking you know what the fuck is gonna happen … YOU PROBABLY DON’T!

    I’ll be buying SRS anywhere under 180 all the ways down to 120, for the eventual move back up to 300. If you’re chicken, you can also sell Jan 135 puts for over $25.00, effectively getting you long at 110.

    On a ‘bailout day’, spreads are ripping tighter. Across the board. While I mentioned my firm went long IVW, XLF, XLK and UYG, this time we are staying long. And adding.

    Adding via KIE, XLB and USO.

    Keep in mind, I am ‘renting/leasing’ these positions, but I think the rally will surprise some folks.

    Meredith says

    “We are still cautious on the potential future dilution from further prospective capital raises for the group as well as continued higher losses related to credit and asset deflation,” New York-based Whitney wrote in a note today.

    Citigroup’s “risky assets” total about $120 billion, Whitney said, reiterating her “underperform” for the stock.

    Does this fucking woman think or is just steroid addled as hubby.

    the government has placed a wrap on a huge portion of the asset side of the balance sheet of C.

    It’s better protected than any other bank out there. And to top it off it has earning power of around 5 bill a quarter even in bad times.

    “This is a tough situation for America. But we will recover. The first step is to secure our financial system,” Bush said after meeting with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. “If need be, we’re going to make these kind of decisions to safeguard our financial system in the futur

    I redeposited 60% of the monies swept out of my trading account whenever I made a successful trade on the short side from the past two months (I would withdraw 40% of the profit amount) this morning. All of it went into long positions. Now 85% long via ETFs, 15% short via EEV. So much for reduced exposure today… However I will most likely blow out of everything in a day or two and prepare myself to load up on F in the beginning of December.

    In other news, because us bulls will be living likes kings over Thanksgiving with overflowing coffers, why settle for the traditional turkey.
