    My sell in DXO yesterday was god like. I will be re-entering on a scaled in approach as we continue to pull back. First re-entry is at 3.00 and will buy each quarter down in 20% lots of the position.

    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.

    My GLD, CLF and FCX are getting slobberknocked today.

    One day they’re falling all over themselves to get in the global growth/cyclical/reflation trades, the next day they hate them.

    Now all you Storm haters are making me worry about RIMM.

    Jake I entered a small position at 3 just in case. I am prepared to hold DXO for 14-18 months in the long term if it stays too low. I sold my last position only because it ran up 50% in only a few days. I doubt we fall under the $1.90 level if it continues to pull back. My hope is it falls to the $1.90ish level and then floors there. That will allow me to get a full position.

    PNC finally rolling over, good thing I averaged down (up?) the fuck out of it. Pittsburgh will not escape the funnel. Not even a bad camera angle on their “Immaculate Buyout” can save their beloved stock. Off to warm up the 10-speed to throw pipe bombs at bridges.

    Devildog, seriously, you’re made up indicators and Nostradamus predictions make you as credible as a woman on The View.

    Gap,

    Great call on the DXO. I had averaged in from 2.47 down to 2.09 before and got to 100k shares. I parted out on the way up with last sale 3.24.

    I’m back in 25k at 3.03 and will do the same on scale. Selling puts on USO also to potentially get long it.

    That’s a top-dollar job in the U.S. these days!

    Of all the oil companies to short, why XOM? From where I am sitting it is a shelter stock that people and institutions will run to because they have so much frickin’ cash on hand that they will at least be around once the recession is over in the year 2050 or whenever. I say short some of XOM’s weak little sisters instead.

    PS – Let’s all bring back the word “frickin'” It is 70s-cool.

    I am up on my XOM shorts. I cannot say the same about my DUG.

    Nonetheless, I am short XOM, and not others, for its stability. I do not want to get flamed by a 100% run in a smaller stock. That will never happen with XOM.
