Look Ma, I’m Winning Again

You fuckers can’t keep a ‘calculator brain’ down for more than 2 days. As you know, “The Fly” had enough of this bullshit rally and went short, much to your chagrin, before the market reversed lower.

At the present, I am bathing in FAZ, FXP, EEV, DUG, amongst others, with a distinct feeling that they will make me buckets, mind you, of sweet U.S. coin.

I flushed out all of my KBR, most of my M, GU, TNA and ROM. I rejuggled, if I may be so bold as to say so.

Also, I bought more FXP, thinking there is no fucking way Chinese stocks continue to go up— God forbid. And, I started a small short position in GVA.

In short, I am net short and feel overzealous in my rejuvenated efforts to deball my neighbors 401k plans.

NOTE: I am still long a variety of names. However, as of now, I am net short.

    Bought a little more FXP @ 48.50, have lowball bid in for more FAZ, stopped out of ERX while on a call, going from small paper profit to small actual fucking loss.

    Don’t know how anybody trades this market without giving it your full attention, like some large, steroid-infused, axe-wielding retard.

    Will be interested to see how Woody’s “set it and forget” trading system fares.

    As you know I have been short this whole time. I was a little worried being short while Fly was long of stocks. Its good to see you join the team. Why fight the trend. This rally was pathetic. Embrace the downtrend. Dont fight it.

    We failed to make a higher high. DAMMIT and why is China rising. I refuse to believe China comes out of this before the U.S. We are the hampster of the world turning the economic engine. US > China. No matter how dumb the freaking population is.

    Last Night’s Wave Report:

    “Today the market held yesterday’s low, rallied to the 848 pivot, and then retested the low. This could be counted as a wave 2 flat. Now the 816 level becomes important support for this bear market rally. The next objective is for the SPX to take out friday’s highs at 896, and then, the resistance at the 912 pivot. Should this occur, without taking out the lows first, then this rally will regain its upside momentum.”

    Just saying….

    Immediately, once the Fly starts talking shit against Mother Market, BAM! Down 150 points to positive 30 points, in less than 15 minutes.

    Fucking Shit… I dont like this bounce back this early, it usually happens around 2:50pm-3:10pm, when day traders must be short covering…

    Would not be suprised if we finished up 100+ points today.

    Exactly, all these guys are looking for the next fix and you have the Dog encouraging that sorta inhuman behavior.

    The government is creating the biggest arb in bank stocks I have ever seen. The stop loss in C was is pretty close to zero (ish) and their margins are blowing out. I can’t understand how anyone is selling let alone not buying large bank stocks/debt.

    I bought some Australian bank debt today at huge rates. This shit is basically guaranteed by the gov.

    They’re setting up bank balance sheets to high octane/light speed/Ferrari tuned.

    I’m trying to buy a small “bank” credit union in Oz along with a few friends /fundies asap.

    The government down here has given you the green light to charge up risk taking. Spreads in debt is at the highest since the depression meanwhile governments here and around the world including the US have given the liability side of bank balance sheets sovereign rating. It is the biggest opportunity and eventual fuck up i have ever seen.

    People like the dog etc. think the crash is coming now. They’re wrong, the crash is a several years away when this shit hits the fan.

    There is up to 5/6 points of spread in debt securities between borrowing/lending rates . You can leave that shit in the balance sheet and not mark to market as long as there is no duration risk. Banks have caught on to that shit as they’re starting to issue 5 year paper.

    You’re now allowed to arb between sovereign debt rating and corporate spread risk.

    Velocity of money down far outpaces money being created by the Fed and the Treasury for now …

    Overseas investments being repatriated due to unwinding of leverage causing the dollar to rise … this is a short term correction (as everyone was short the dollar)and once the dollar squeeze is over then commodities will reignite along with inflation and interest rates….
