The Days of Our Lives

Unwind, go to cash and enjoy the -40 degree weather outside. I’ve had enough of the market. It’s like one big fucking soap opera, with rescues, panics and ponzi schemes. There are diabolical characters and heroes. Then, there is the innocent bystander who gets hit by a speeding Mack truck. Naturally, the driver is drunk, while doing lines of blow off the dashboard.

I’m selling more of my longs, in order to restock my cash position. Oil and other commodities are in the midst of a death spiral and there you are trying to catch the falling knife. Never catch the falling knife people, unless of course you are buying MVIS into CES.

My coolest position, by far, is short KIM. Within months, I believe that bitch KIM can find herself in a very bad vacancy situation, causing her shareholders to be maligned with greatly deserved grief.

At any rate, my take is to fade this rally. Then, go take a nap, wake up at 3pm, in order to buy a little FAZ into the close— like a rat in a cage made from sweet corn.

NOTE: My UNH is still working.

    Holy shit, I just noticed that the VIX is trading below 45. It has not traded this low since the beginning of Oct. right before it skyrocketed.

    volatility will return soon

    Wow, gift card sales hurting down maybe 30%

    January may be bad for retailers and the market.

    How many people believe in the January effect, where the first 5 to 10 trading days tell the tale of January and the supposedly the market for the year?

    It’s 62 F here, and I’m pretty sure it’s coming your way.

    Sun is blazing after a major (almost tropical) downpour this morning.

    According to Mom (who still lives on the Guyland) you guys get whatever we have today, tomorrow.

    Isn’t KIM mostly in NY area?

    Maybe go long UBA to hedge your KIM short?

    (UBA is high end, grocery anchored retail in Westchester/Fairfield/Putnam… low debt. Core Jake Portfolio hold)

    T Moe–

    $VIX has broken through Gio’s support AND it’s 61.8% fib retrace line.

    Pretty significant.

    It took about 3 weeks but I have profit in both FAS and FAZ. I will Teeter Totter hedge them to sell into the end of the year. With this type of market hedging ETF’S is the safest play. You have to be an Idiot to use a stop loss.

    Remember the days when VIX at 40 was unheard of? Messiah Obama will neutralize the VIX to levels of the past…which in turn will fuel the bull suprising all doomsdayers…I’m just saying…
