Here We Go Again

So much for my early afternoon triumph.

Men running around in green leotards, like Bill Miller, are calling for a bottom. On top of that, it is well known the recession is played out. We need a nice rally, in order to placate the masses, who loathe opening their 401k statements.

In what seems like a complete reversal of the trend from 1 hour ago, banks look robust, led by gains in C and BAC. Catching bottoms or tops is never seemless and always done with error.

Considering this melt up, I am refraining from adding to any more shorts.

Fuckers.

    This is all GS’s fault. When the market was at the day’s lows, this stock held at +2 and then kept climbing.

    If those wonderboys at GS can somehow lose less than $2 billion then the market will skyrocket and GS will shoot to 100.

    I agree… GS is way overpriced and has a long way to fall. Still, they are the one stock to watch on today’s tape. They literally are the stock that picked this market up from the lows today. And even as we give up the gains and dip red now it is strong and still trying to pull us higher. Fuck those aholes.

    You realize the banks are now issuing 5 year paper with FDIC protection. that shit started down here too, today. C did that shit today in the US with FDIC backing. They’re arbing sovereign risk rating against assets that are priced in most cases below the 30’s depression.

    Not you… But anyone who shorts the bank indexes from now on need their fucking head cracked in a vice and pack raped by gays.

    Banks can buy paper/ build assets on their books that won’t have to be marked to market as long as duration risk is covered.Meanwhile they can basically fund at sovereign! I truly hope people understand the implications of this.

    This is the most fucked up arb I have ever seen in terms of what the tax eaters have created.

    There are banks that will go broke of course, but bank balance sheets have now been charged up to make an egregious amount of spread.

    Fry, you need to understand that I watch the market like a hawk. My ADHD diagnosis is off the shrink’s charts, and mother market is one of the few things that can keep my immeasurable neural activity occupied.

    If we were going to close chest deep in the red today, we’d already be red. However, we’re hovering in the green, and we’ll either mutter around up to DJIA 100, or start quickly accelerating to a strong green close.

    Also, Rum and cokes done right, are godly. I prefer Sailor Jerry’s over Morgan’s brackish piss in a bottle.

    Looks like Romania is, in fact, the last bull market.

    Odd no? This headline just hit the wires…

    Romania’s economy grows by 9.1% in third quarter

    By Polya Lesova
    Last update: 3:11 p.m. EST Dec. 3, 2008
    NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Romania’s economy grew by 9.1% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2008, the country’s National Institute of Statistics reported Wednesday. For the first nine months of the year, real gross domestic product expanded by 8.9%. “This performance definitely looks good considering the global crisis, but Romania had a horrible third quarter last year and also bad nine-month results in 2007, especially due to the drought that destroyed most crops,” said Adrian Ciocoi, Bucharest-based head of research for Riedel Research Group. Agriculture is one of the main components of Romanian GDP, and in 2008 the sector did very well, Ciocoi said. If agriculture is taken out of the GDP figure, then economic growth was 5.5% in the third quarter, he said. “Overall, we expect to see a GDP growth of 8.25% to 8.7% in 2008, but next year the GDP growth is expected to be 2% to 3% lower,” Ciocoi said. Still, Romania, which joined the European Union in January 2007, will continue to benefit from EU funds allocated for agriculture, infrastructure and public utilities.

    Some idiot, I forget who, wished I would lose lots of money which when said to a trader is in fact a far, far worse comment than wishing pancreatic cancer on that prick.

    (that’s twice that pancreatic cancer has come up in discussions today. odd no?

    Since the US markets are so indecisive, the big move direction decision goes to our new asian overlords. I’m guessing Fukio “housewife” Fukura puts the carry trade back on, Li “Chi Commie” KleptoBureaucrat gets the go-ahead to intervene in the markets and asia takes off. Then Nigel “Eurodickhead” Hedge Fund Manager sees we are breaking out and buys. Guessing we gap up.

    Devildog, you are the DUMBEST (and most WRONG) piece of shit on this BB.

    And the new “Tabbed Blogger” – Chart Addict – seems to be in hiding with his “175% short” position 600 points lower than where we are.

    Buy the banks to protect yourself in case you’re wrong as they’re going much higher.
