Get into the Funnel

At the present, I am content being both long and short, with an egregious bias toward short banks/commercial retail. My longs include: ERX, TNA, BDK, JPM and ROM. My shorts include ERY, FAZ, SRS, SKF, DUG and REW.

However, the overall exposure is net short. Granted, should the market crap out today, I won’t make a fortune. But, at this point in the year, I’m more interested in being right, than making money.

I rather see people lose limbs, on Wall Street, falling victim to psychotic margin clerks, than make enough money to buy another set of diamond encrusted rims.

The way I figure, if there is another 40% downside in the market, which is my belief, then missing out on a 2-5% day is acceptable. There will be plenty of time to take off the upside hedges and embrace the bear. I plan on doing so, when most of you bulltards are crammed together, in the fucking selling funnel, stomping on each other, dying to get out.

    I’m petitioning Direxion Funds for a double short of the FAZ index. (6x short financials).

    A “FAZKIFFLE” if you will.

    As in “those freaking Fazkiffles will kill your ass daid!”

    Generational OIL BOTTOM Picker

    Going short here is like going LONG at the market top last November like buying GOOG at 720 FSLR at 250, or GS at 250.

    It makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE to short ANYTHING at this BOTTOM of an upward-trending market, especially with interest rates at an all-time low, governments the world around throwing money into the system, and almost all stocks off their lows of Oct 10 and Nov 20 2008.

    Shorting is something one does at market TOPS, or at least in the middle os a long term move up or down.

    The shorting area of this market will be above DJI 1100 and SP above 130. NOT NOW!

    I think the fly hits on a central thesis that I embrace. The fed has really done nothing more than make this “crash” into a “slow motion” Crash. In ’29 things went down 86% with greater speed because there was no fed to ease the let down. Really I have come to believe that the overall direction is still down (maybe not 40%). The fed has only proved it is capable of “slowing” the process; it cannot prevent it. I think Q1 we will reach bottom (and the fly is right as rain). IMHO

    I only meant that this fed has only slowed the inevitable. Policy is adhoc, reactive and not coordinated enough to prevent a total decline of 60% or more from high..
