Scientifically, You’re Fucked

You expect me to gloat and brag about how much money I made in my shorts today; but you’re wrong. “The Fly” is humble in his victories and will work, with great vigor, to help his fellow neighbor find food and shelter, after his bullshit 401k plan goes to zero.

After being stepped on by asshole elephants yesterday, “The Fly” shot back with his street cannon and made truckloads of money in short XOM, short VNO, short NOV and SRS, DUG, FAZ, viz.

But I am not one to brag. Emphatically I implore my fellow neighbor to flee from oil related names, for their cap ex budgets will be sacked.

Just so you know, Horatio Clawhammer punched the teeth out of semiconductor players today, via SSG. I like my prospects shorting tech here, with Steve Jobs dead and all. It makes sense to be long SSG and REW.

In closing, no one deserves to lose money, per se. Howsoever, I will suggest, if I might do so, some of you tea bagging cow ball jugglers deserve a good grounding, and more. All of this giddy talk of run up, run up, run up, must and will be stopped, in due time.

I guaranfuckingtee the market ends the year lower than where it closed today. If I am wrong, well then, I will retire from the business of blogging—in exchange for traveling the world dressed as a Geek Squad employee.

    OEW:

    “Today the market pulled back following a week long rally from SPX 857 to 944. After breaking through the 935 pivot yesterday, we expected the 912 pivot to now act as support on any pullbacks. Today’s low was 902. With a slight very short term positive divergence right at the close, the market should experience a bounce higher tomorrow.”

    So you’re reading it now and hedging those bets I see …. even capitalizing on it in your post title … hahaha!

    Feds arrest 2 Winnetka futures dealers on fraud charges
    Tribune staff reporter
    3:17 PM CST, January 7, 2009
    Federal agents arrested two top executives of a Winnetka foreign-exchange futures dealer that collapsed over a year ago on federal fraud charges, the Justice Department disclosed Wednesday.

    Both men were principals with One World Capital Group, which was effectively shut down in December of 2007 when the Commodity Futures Trade Commission ? responding to a growing chorus of complaints from customers who said they’d been unable to withdraw funds from their accounts — obtained a court order that froze One World’s assets and barred the troubled foreign-currency trader from further trading activity.

    Wednesday’s actions, including agents’ execution of “search and seizure” warrants at both officials’ homes, represent the first criminal charges to emerge from the company’s failure.

    FBI agents arrested One World founder John E. Walsh at his Lake Forest home this morning, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald’s office said in a Wednesday statement.

    Another One World principal, 43-year-old Charles G. Martin, of Glencoe, was arrested last night in the Los Angeles area. The government calls Martin a “de facto” official of the currency-trading concern, although he was prohibited from holding a position with the company.

    A criminal complaint unsealed this morning charges both men with one count of wire fraud each, for improperly diverting to their own use customer funds that were supposed to be invested in foreign-currency trades.

    The two men used customer funds they had misappropriated “to finance a lavish and extravagant lifestyle,” racking up huge sums on corporate credit cards largely paid for by the company, the government’s criminal complaint says.

    Martin charged over $1 million “at a strip club and restaurants” over the course of 20 months, the government says, spent $50,000 at toy stores, and used his company credit card to finance $280,000 in jewelry-store purchases.

    In addition, the complaint says that Martin and Walsh used hundreds of thousands of dollars they had diverted from One World to finance a never-released movie entitled “Order of Redemption.”

    The company, founded in 2006, hit turbulence in the spring of 2007, the government notes, when the National Futures Association found improprieties in the course of an audit.

    The fallout from that audit sparked a rise in the number of customers who sought the return of money they had invested, the complaint notes, but the firm couldn’t honor those requests because the two men had allegedly been dipping into margin funds as part of their misappropriation scheme.

    Based on the company’s refusal to honor those customer redemption requests, the federal regulatory agency known as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed a civil complaint against One World and Walsh in Chicago federal court in mid-December, 2007. That litigation led to the asset freeze that has been in place for the past year.

    Bloomberg interviewee (FBR Analist) on now says refiners have no liquidity and will sell their entire inventories (at a loss if need be) to raise cash to re-establish credit lines. Something about being penalized tax-wise for storing product also works into their decision.

    Sir Flyalot –

    This chatter about burdizzos must stop. While you are a metaphoric de-baller of the first order, and while your many followers (myself included) hope only to put our tiny naked feet into your giant bloody footprints, I’d travel the world in an orange Wal-Mart vest if even one of the foul-mouthed motherfuckers reading or writing on this site has literally de-balled anything in his life.

    I have. And trust me, the pain inflicted by a burdizzo is nothing compared to the agonies of the infant boar hogs whose testicles we removed with razor blades.

    Yours,

    The Real Stumpy

    Worse than that. Parts of Detroit reminds me of downtown Baghdad. I flew into the Detroit airport to drive to Windsor for a golf tournament and they took traffic off the Interstate for about six miles onto Michigan Ave. before connecting up in downtown Detroit.

    In my opinion, today’s action was healthy if you consider the extreme overbought levels and the run up from the low of Nov 21, 2008. For example, Shipping Index went up 38.53% since the low and dropped -4.98% today, Semis- Memory Chips ran up 106% and dropped -3.27% today, Long Term Care Facilities ran up 82% and dropped -2.75%, Silver ran up 71% and dropped -8.51%. And some of my indicators are already halfway from the top of the range and the middle in just 1 day, giving a impression of a churning, not a drop. Tomorrow’s action, volume and if the indices hold the 20ma and 50ma and bounce up or drop below the ma’s will give a clue what Mr Market is doing…

    I’ve never had trouble with Fry’s employees because I don’t ask them questions. They don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. But then again, neither do most of the employees at Best Buy. I’d rather pay less and do my own research, rather than pay large fees for others’ incompetence.
