Can Hate Make You Money?

Of course it can. But, hating Jim Cramer, for his lying ways, can lose you money too.

For example: if you have the dishonorable privilege of reading realmoney.com, you might want to take a fucking howitzer and unload shells on the TSCM HQ, then go short stocks—just because Cramer likes them.

Forget about Cramer. Tune out the noise and listen very quietly. Listen to the rattling chains of zombie stocks, attempting to break loose; then grab hold of them.

Personally, I’ve been trapped inside an idiot box, for the better half of 3 weeks, waiting for some sort of decline. Much to my chagrin, downside trades don’t work, when the markets gap higher 26 fucking percent in a few short weeks.

At any rate, the current trend is up. But, at the same time, the underlying fundies are “gasoline gay.”

With that in mind, cut yourself a clean slate. Get long some cheap names, like AKAM, VCLK, NITE, or even some C. However, be sure to keep some shorts on the sheets and ample amounts of cash.

In this environment, I suggest having no less than 25% in cash.

Back to hate.

I hate all sorts of things, from tanning salons to the perfume section at M. However, that doesn’t stop me from banking coin in light bulb companies, now does it?

I didn’t think so.

At the moment, most unfortunately, my love for America is losing me money, via oil shorts. Look, if I harbored hatred for my country, I’d be buying barrels of oil right now, while burning American flags with Cuban cigars.

Here’s the point:

If you hate America, you can make some serious coin, right about now. Press your blade on the necks of American citizens, via buying commodity stocks, and you will see what I mean. However, remember, there are still a few patriots out there, myself included, who are dedicated to stopping you and saving this great nation, in the process.

God Bless America, you commy bastards.

NOTE: Some patriots I know are short XOM and NOV.

    Look Fly … this is your house et al .. but shorting oil et al, after a decline from 147 to 33 is rookie. Sure, its had a decent bounce but ask Jake the fibber … it will likely retrace at least 25% of that decline which would put it 60-65.

    Hey, this trade may work for a couple points, but you trying to pick up nickels in front of a bulldozer driven by terrorists who don’t respect their own lives much less yours.

    Fly I think you put your money where your politics are regardless of what the market is doing. You buy on your beliefs…it seems. Nothing wrong with that, many people do. Lots of people buy solar stocks for the same reason or short oil becus they want all of America to drive electric cars. Shorting oil is a big ‘ lefty’ play and it seems a Fly play as well.

    Why cant we support ‘ American oil and gas’ and buy those stocks? I own only American generated oil/gas stocks that support American jobs and corporations.

    Just a thought.

    No positions in stocks mentioned.

    More on the ultra inverse funds
    I’m home nursing a bad cold that’s been coursing through the family, so I don’t have access to the better financial data I have on my office computer. Still, I could not help doing some quick eyeballing of the past 12 months’ relative performance for SKF and DUG, the ultra-inverse (double-short) ETF’s for financials and energy respectively.

    SKF: With most relevant financial benchmarks down about 50% over the period, this ultra-inverse fund is actually down small. A misguided buy-and-holder would have expected it to double.

    DUG: With energy stocks down about a third, this ultra-inverse fund has actually fallen by about 40%!!!

    Prof. Macke correctly pointed out that this type of observation is not exactly news. Still, I think these numbers are stunning and should show Minyans and non-Minyans alike that these trades are absolutely, categorically, unequivocally to be done only in the shortest of short terms to capture trending markets.

    Supplies of Russian gas via Ukraine were halted today. That gas goes to Bulgaria, Turkey Greece and Macedonia. The day before Russia reduced gas flows to Europe during one of their worst cold seasons.

    Russia is using its resources as a bully to control and intimidate it’s neighbors.

    Oil and Gas are used as weapons all across the globe.

    It’s a commodity that is more valuable than gold, in my opinion regardless of where it trades.

    There is going to be a lot more trouble in the years to come concerning oil and gas.

    The best solution is to ‘produce your own energy here at home’ in as many ways as possible.

    I like what I see in TBT. It turned negative before the fed minutes came out. They did mention potentialy buying long dated Treasuries to bring the yeild down but now TBT is back in the green. Moving up on what should be bad news, very bullish……

    Also anyone have thoughts on MBB? If the fed is going to buy $500B of MBS this should do well.
