Indeed

Barack the Builder, who is the official spokesman for the Bill Clinton administration, knows the economy like Beavis and Butthead knows fine dining.

If you are relying on government to get us out of this rut, good fucking luck with that fucker; you are in for a long, long wait.

The only thing government is good for is fucking up wars and keeping poor people in the idiot box.

Let your television be your opiate and just drink yourself to sleep, following a heaping bowl of macaroni and cheese.

In Staten Island, NY, the mayor (Bloomberg) is proposing a hike on the bridge toll. Get this: currently, the toll is $10. That’s not enough, according to Lord Bloomberg. He wants to jack it up to $14!

After all, we have the money. My money is his money, apparently.

As for the markets:

Bad/horrific news is having a muted effect on the markets. My guess, investors are jockeying for position, ahead of tomorrow’s employment data.

Oil is weak, despite the dollar going down. Retailers have begun the process of boarding up their stupid stores. And, finally, commercial RE is in the penalty box—as evidenced by my small wins in short KIM, short VNO and SRS.

Banks are sort of doing nothing, while semi’s and other tech names get the “homo hammer of certain death,” as evidenced by my lazy win in SSG.

This business of investing makes me sick. The people who are at the top of the pecking order, like Madoff, are total scum bags. Believe me, your broker has no fucking idea what he/she is doing. If you think your hedge fund manager is different, once again, you are wrong.

For the remainder of the day, “The Fly” is going to just roam around his office, thinking of ways to bank some coin, with the cash he has left (30%).

More on this later.

NOTE: Germany failed to raise 6 bill in a bond auction.

    I was down 6% going into yesterday. I made back 3% in yesterday’s tape and, currently, I am up another 1%.

    Yesterday in Dallas GD layed off workers without notice. One of them came back to the facility with a gun and was killed by police. I told my wife 2 years ago that these occurrences would happen throughout the country. There have beeen several already in addition to many suicides beyond the national headline ones. I’m sure the Chicago CRE guy this week did not commit suicide due to the future CRE market since we all know that the recovery has already begun. Must of been a personal problem. I suggest you keep an eye on your local news for better indications of what is reality versus the sanitized news on cnbc and the networks. Party on! All is well!

    — Financial sector is taking too long to push upward and are going to get axed.
    — Oil is in for a smack in the face soon, hence why DUG is a damn good trade.
    — Gold is going to go hand in hand with oil for a short period of time before recovering big.
    — Real Estate blows, and The Fly (although always right) is very very correct on Housing Bubble #2 knocking at our doorstep.

    Tomorrow is important.

    “…your broker has no fucking idea what he/she is doing. If you think your hedge fund manager is different, once again, you are wrong.”

    As of 12/31/08, my “conservative,” Buffet-worshiping hedge fund was down 60% in 2008.

    People talk all manner of shit on this blog, heckling the hosts here like face-painting retards at a ball game, but somehow Fly and his pals have managed to better the best-hyped managers on the idiot box. Unless Fly has lost his mojo, time machine and artificial intelligence invention, I’m betting he does so again in 2009, throwing off sparks and crumbs for the rest of us via the PPT.

    We all have people who depend on us for food and other luxuries — except for a couple of you morons who I am sure are institutionalized with internet access — and ’09 is very probably going to suck worse than ’08.

    Mutual fund and hedge fund managers will not save you. And very few who post shit here will be able to save yourselves.

    Didn’t know that about Andy Swan, Jake, very interesting.

    Stuart06230, thanks for the link. I’ve been thinking a lot about European economies the last few days, how their downturn seems to taken off with a bang, like an avalanche sending eurozone companies and governments into a 3 mile deep crevasse and about to get crunched to bits by the glacier. Our economy is in trouble, but they are in far deeper doody than we are.

    This train of thought started for me when I read a few days ago that the Wedgwood/Royal Doulton/Waterford companies had filed bankruptcy and could not find a buyer or partner in order to restructure. Just about fell off my chair, Royal Doulton was always buying up all the smaller companies for the last 20 years. If they go under with no buyer, one of Britain’s major industries is at risk. Also found out Spode and Royal Worcester recently filed bankruptcy. The implication of this news is also that rich people are no longer spending on their usual purchases. Can’t imagine TIF will do well this year.

    Sounds lonely.

    Look, there’s been many times when everyone thought the world was coming to an end. Late 70s, 1987… this shit is cyclical.

    Let me add that I thought it was all over in November 2004, and we’re still here…

    In fact, I’ll predict right now that 2021 is going to be fucked up… give or take 3 years.

    mike- I have used Tradelog since 2000. It’s very fast and calculates wash sales if you didn’t elect mark to market as a professional trader. I have tons of trades as a daytrader and to be honest it has never matched my 1099 but is fairly close. Make sure it’s compatible with your broker.

    On a day when retail announces that nobody bought anything in the last three months in the continental US, and the almost-Pres announces that the recession will probably go on forever, the market is down 50 pts or so? That’s a pretty clear message to me. The market is saying Senor Tropicana better get his act together, soon, and leave playing the “greater depression” to the lowly likes of his loyal readers…

    TC:
    Thank you. Now a follow up Q: If Tradelog doesn’t match your 1099 what do you do? How far out is it?
    I have been using a bookkeeper to record trades (mostly options) but suffice it to say 2008 was not a good year and if I can cut overhead….

    I have some Spode and when I went looking for an additional tea cup I found out they moved all of their factories to China with just a cursory store in UK.

    Did that store close or did the entire operation of Spode close including China?

    That would be sad news indeed.
