A Look into the Future

Amidst the whistling winter winds, quislings will be shot dead for stealing bread from the local bakery. Local schools will be converted into prisons and church’s into homeless shelters.

High above, rogue military bombers will drop napalm ordnance on upscale shopping malls and low end street fairs.

Local banks will be used as recruiting stations to lure unsuspecting teenagers into American kamikaze missions. And, at the local grocery store, mustard gas will replace the old tangy condiment, much to the delight of middle aged military historians.

Back on Wall Street, the Dry Bulk Shipping sector will be on fire, due to elaborate strength in Asian economies. Oil and gas stocks will soar, due to the fact that people will be using armed vehicles and tanks as their primary source of transportation. Retail and tech stocks will soar, thanks to government stimulus packages that includes “buy one rpg, get a second one for free.”

Short sellers will have their balls baked, literally, by roaming squads of “truth seekers.” Western civilization, as we know it, will be a bit different, but business will continue, thanks to American innovation.

    Which sector measures the strength of oil tanker rentals?
    I understand the A-rabs are renting them out 90 million barrels/ship to store their unwanted oil.

    Mr. Pickens-

    You’re one to talk. You have lost investors billions of dollars betting that Crude would not drop like this.

    Back in early summer, I warned everyone about Crude … and I was right. Do you remember that? I used to laugh at you old farts on CNBC making outlandish comments of Crude going to $200+ this decade. What a comedy show you were.

    Shit, Motherfucker, I’ve been right a lot. And my portfolio indicates it.

    Saying the economy is healthy or this is the beginning of a bull market because people are considering buying things (like stock) is like saying fat people are healthy because they are considering exercising.

    Pickens-

    I think that Crude is rallying with the market. It has little to do with what’s going on in the global economy. When we reach another round of fuckery, and the stock market test new lows (yet again), crude will do the same. Besides, Crude was oversold, and was due for a bounce.

    With that said, some bears are suggesting crude could drop to $10 … not me … I don’t know how much further it’ll drop, but $10 seems unlikely.

    Kneale is pissed that he isn’t getting a bonus, Gaspa knows it, and is rubbing it in. That was Kneale’s last plea for his bonus. Next year, Kneale is gone. Gaspa, on the other hand, is right about the no bonuses for the undeserved

    Crude is rallying on a dying dollar. Watch it run.

    Sorry, this was late in the “Hamsterwheel”

    I know it’s a highly impassioned subject matter but my opinion of GM going bankrupt is the 2009 equivalent of Smoot-Hawley to 1929 and the final nail in the coffin of the economy, guaranteeing a Depression.
    The job loss ramifications will affect every city in America, large and small to varying degrees. It will reach further than Congress and CNBC can see

    Listen, facts are facts. In November I called the new lows when all of you here just laughed. Who was right? ME. I already explained why there will be new lows this month so go back and read it again. I expect a major crash this month. In fact, on the key that I’m using it should hit it’s high today on day 42 and then reverse. It is possible it will hang ten until day 49 which coincidentally is Friday 12/19 which is triple witching. After that we are going DOWN DOWN DOWN TO MUCH LOWER LOWS.

    DD:

    Whether it is this month or 1Q09 of course we are going much lower. Anything more than a MOMO day trade is a waste of time. There are way too many loser gamblers on this blog who just don’t get it. This aint poker. The Fly can play with OPM all day long. He is a professional and deserves the wins and losses. His prose is more elegant, sometimes, than his trading.
