The Bears are Ball-Less

I will cease and desist from offering false hope of doom. As always, I expect the best and hope for the worst—only when I’m short stocks, of course.

Today’s tape is a fucking joke. The sellers are NOWHERE, and I mean NOWHERE to be found. It is almost as if the government found out who they were and locked them in a storage facility.

If you’re short this market, you are not pleased with today’s tepid action. For Pete’s sake, the oil inventory data was 8X’s worse than expected, yet XOM is down a stick.

Fuck me on a spindle.

Frankly, I’ve had enough of this bullshit. I may just leave my business to my underlings and take my show on the road. I can do stand up comedy, inside banks—wearing a ski mask. Or, I can go fishing, inside shopping malls, near water fountains.

Needless to say, I need the keys to Zion. I need to find you fuckers, who escaped the Matrix, and have my robots murder your heads off.

Listen up you fucking fagots, the dollar is not going down in 2009. How about that?

And, on top of that, your local lender over there, that little piece of shit WFC, is going to dilute the shenanigans out of their idiotic shareholder base.

May your inheritance be fully invested in shares of SAY.

As an aside, with my money, I am semi-retired. I am into eating sandwiches and celebrating birthdays, on a daily basis. I don’t have time for this January shit.

Top picks: Turkey and mustard.

NOTE: A fine chart to get long on, indeed.

    Have faith Fly we will go lower. The big 4 have to be shitting themselves due to:
    -Madoff lawsuits
    -The Enron of India (PWC)
    -The fact banks are still carrying shit at inflated prices on their balance sheets.
    When they finish their audits and the fy08 earnings come out they are going to make the banks take some major writedowns (like they should have done last year) to cover their asses.

    I’ve spotted some of the missing sellers.

    They were in the local mall, wearing orange safety vests. State troopers were watching over them as they put in their 8 hours of forced spending for the day.

    One foolish seller spotted someone fishing in the mall’s fountain and started laughing at him. The sadistic troopers forced the seller to do the rest of his day’s shopping at the kiosks. The other sellers had pained looks on their faces as they clutched their wallets in sympathy.

Big chains will die leaving ghost malls in their wake.The Flesh of the consumer is ripped off the bone. Towel heads are burned with oil from the desert in which they live to try to hold up prices. Free market capitalism will die. Americans will take to the streets seeking revenge for those who are responsible for their misery.

    Bravo: sorry but I can’t shut up about TLT, but IYR/SRS is heavily impacted by TLT/TBT. if investors are willing to dump more money into corporate bonds, then REITs and any other firm that relies on financial leverage is saved.

    the lack of movement in SRS today is simply because it really is getting easier. however, if the economy really does shit hard this week or next week from earnings, and we also see a move back to treasuries, that’s when we’ll see SRS move, at least that’s my opinion on what i’m seeing.

    SRS in my opinion has no real bearing on inflation.

    The increase in costs of goods and increases in mortgage rates during inflationary times has nothing really to do with peoples decision to buy or sell a house.

    See, during good times, when house prices are up, if you sell your house for the profit, then you either from that point on live on the street or in a unused room in a mall, or you have to buy another house. When you buy that house you have to pay the same high cost for another house…you have really done nothing but move your shit under another roof…..profit gone…

    During shitty times or times when house prices fall and you sell your house to buy another one, you sell for less but you also are going to be buying the new house for less….in other words, if you bought your house 20 years ago for 100,000.00 and now it is worth 200,000.00 and you sell for the 100,000.00 profit but have to buy another house to live in then you will have to turn around, spend that 200,000.00 at current house levels to get back into another house of equal size……If you just bought a house for 200,000.00 and now it’s worth 100,000.00 and you have to sell it…then another house up the street is under them same economic conditions, and you can buy another like house for 100,000.00…….in the end for real estate, during good times or bad, it is all even at any particular time.

    …if investors are willing to dump more money into corporate bonds, then REITs and any other firm that relies on financial leverage is saved…

    OK, then the logical question is exactly how much $ is being thrown at corporate bonds, eventuall winding up in CRE. I would think that somewhere in there is the answer to the CRE debate.

    The jobs report in December was bad, what, 500k+ lost, and if I remember correctly the market got whacked midweek or thursday, and then recovered the next few days. Does anyone see that pattern here?

    This whole CRE deal reminds me of DRYS last December, which I got reamed on. It crashed from 84 to low 50’s, then spiked to 110. The point being is that it was one crowded trade.
    Eventually we saw what happened to DRYS. Is not short CRE a crowded trade? If so, the squeeze or whatever the fuck is happening right now will last a lot longer than most peoples ability to remain solvent.

    Bravo: i definitely don’t disagree with those points, but do realize that the problem with CRE isn’t just fewer jobs and higher vacancies. REITs are more importantly facing immediate bankruptcy Real Soon Now because of a lack of funding. if bond rates are that high, the possibility of issuing new bonds to ensure continued operations are killed.

    yes employment numbers are important, but not as important as companies like GGP having enough working capital to be around next month.

    Yogi & Boo Boo, over time the house is in my opinion is “used” and should sell for less than when it was “new” I mean lets face it it has been “shit” in for all these years….at least in one particular room in it…..but the land under it goes up in value as time goes on….but what is crazy (I am an architect) is most of the time it is only the land that has value.

    If I may add my 2cents into the REIT/bond discussion I’d say money will flow from Treasuries to corporate bonds over the next few months (that’s why I own TBT and LQD) but I’d expect that money to flow to the best of the best corporate bonds, A+ and higher. I just ran a search and Simon Property, Boston Properties and Public Storage are A-.There are 9 REITs at BBB+ and a ton below that. I see the money flowing to P&G, VZ, T etc bonds and not to the REITs.

    Good point mudkip…

    To sum your point up is that even though rates are high for bonds in CRE, the risk is as well, and the ability to issue new debt is the 64k question.

    As usual, the point now and always is managing one’s risk. That can’t be stressed enough.

    Whatever, I have not changed my position every day like most of you. I’m holding all my SHORTS for new market lows if not by 1/19 then by mid February. I don’t care which it occurs on as I’ll still make HUGE coin on either date. The only thing throwing off my time lines is the government buying stocks at the inflection points to keep the market up artificially. Since I’m not a central banker I don’t know when this is being done. One of these days years from now we will finally learn that this market fraud was being done by the government. Don’t forget about my REVOLUTION and GREATER GREAT DEPRESSION call as it will happen. I’m still calling for S&P 150.

    Signorelli Fibonacci SPY Update:

    Near term pattern (11/04 high @ 100.86, and 11/21 low @ 74.34) gives us a 61.8% “strong line” retrace at $90.73.

    Since we are already through this retrace, I expect it should act as support here, at least for the near term.

    CNBC is paranoid that they were duped and lied to (Ramalinga Raju). They are worried their ratings and viewers will abandon them since they are giving out false information and hosting liars and cheats.

    Now they are relying on ‘ body language ‘ experts to tell them if someone is lying. A lot like O’Reilly Factor’s body language experts.

    If that’s what you are going to now have to use to see if someone is telling the truth….sheesh sign me up, I will go on CNBC and tell them who is lying and who is telling the truth. OR they could go out and hire the ‘ dog psychic’ to do readings on each of their guests and hosts.

    🙂
