There is No Cash on the Sidelines

Quit embarrassing yourselves, you fucking idiots. All of a sudden 2009 comes and you think the appetite for risk is back? What kind of crack/cocaine blend are you smoking? I bet it’s the good stuff, with very little additives.

Look you, China’s economy is collapsing. I’ll say it again, China’s economy is collapsing, not just pulling back. They are the factory for the world and their domestic economy, led by former farmers with a pitch forks in hand and shit on their shoes, is as broken as a debit card from Bernie Madoff’s brokerage firm (rim shot!). Okay, enough with the Madoff jokes already.

All of their (China) recent output and consumption data is pointing towards recession, not 9% growth—you fucking faggots.

Over the past 16 months, investors, worldwide, have been depleted/relieved of their capital, in a very rude/abrupt fashion. As a result, we now have billionaires jumping in front of speeding trains and thousandaires shooting howitzers shells at their faces. And, all of a fucking sudden, in the miracle of all miracles, you believe the Gods have bestowed a “generational stock market bottom” on us, in the form of President Obama and his magical job creating microphone. You believe his microphone will suck the pants off of you, if you just, well, believe— hard enough.

You say to yourself: “I believe it will, oh Lord Obama. I believe that a change is a comin’ and Bill Miller is a gonna be right buying asshole stocks, in 2009. I believe.”

Then, much to your chagrin, a few jerkoffs from Brooklyn snatch your chain and wallet, while your busy praying to a statue of a Chinese coal factory.

The good news is: as always, “The Fly” will end up being right.

The bad news is: you’re not qualified or capable of staying in this business of investing.

Let me clarify.

If you are “day trading,” you’re a loser anyway. Therefore, I don’t even bother spitting in your general direction. See day traders are like little vultures flying above, waiting for a snack, while the lions below “eat their share.”

On the other hand, some of you punk investors are entrusted with vast amounts of coin, via clients, family trusts or through others means—maybe mafia related. Who knows? Anyway, you just can’t help yourself, buying stocks all the time—can you?

You suffer from a mental disorder and need to seek therapy right away.

Look, I’m sick of making my point. I’m really fucking busy right now, planning to chop off the heads of a few bad oil/gas names. Do me a favour [sic], good Sir, and go fuck yourself.

Happy trading!

    Though amusing as the early morining cuss maybe, there is actually a factual data point from fund managers surveys that gives the Cash on Sidelines percent. And it is certainly a good (contrary) gauge for where the market is headed. Anyone out there got it please? Its an institutional thang and i aint got access….

    This just in… graphic goes upto Nov 08 (if anyone has got something more up to date …. )

    At that point, indeed, cash levels were not at a point that indicate market bottoms.

    Cash levels are irrelevant. It is a myth. People are going to protect their capital—not throw it into a bonfire of stupidity, based upon bailouts.

    Any money manager that wants to keep their employ will have to be concerned with preservation of capital or they will be gone. Assets under management decline in two ways redemptions or market losses which lead to redemptions…either way if you don’t preserve capital you won’t have any of your own.

    Oh boy, Cramer just went negative on his blog, talking about how “people were too positive last week.”

    This is coming from a guy who write a 100 part series, on his blog, about why he is so bullish in 2009.

    I’m in bizarro land.

    Gold getting punched in the mouth. Along with the rest of the commodities. Money flowing into dollars looking for safety as the new coming out of Europe gets worse by the day. This global flight to the dollar will keep interst rates down regardless of what the Fed tries to do. It may even cause protectionism in the Obama admin.
