Snoozer

GE just got tossed into a highly trafficked highway, yet the market is green. And, JPM moved their earnings up. My guess, they have something good to say about the quarter; hence the stock is up.

Oil and gas stocks are up, in what can only be described as comedy—since they (energy stocks) are fucked either way. I swear, seeing XOM trade near $80, while oil is in the 30’s, is a fucking joke. Nonetheless, 50% of getting a trade right is having the patience to work through the fuckery, if you know what I mean.

Thus far, for the day, I nibbled at SMN and I shorted more XOM, just shy of $78.

Despite promising on a stack of super holy bibles and declaring to never trade 200% and 300% inverse etf’s, I am trading them anyway. They way I see it, I’m just doing it on a temporary basis. You know, like how a crack addict just wants to taste the crack pipe one more time.

I promise, after this round in the inverse funhouse, “The Fly” will take them off his monitor and never look at the magain. As you know, “The Fly” is a man of great integrity and discipline.

In closing, this market is for the birds. Go ahead, buy the dips—in asshole fashion. At the end of the day, you’re just borrowing my money. I’ll be taking it back from you in short order.

Top picks: Short XOM, SMN

    The bulls are trying to make a run, but there are not that many in the herd. I just don’t see that many buyers.

    Yes it is!!!

    The system is very sensitive to short term moves in the price of crude. Out of all the oil names, XOM has the best fundies.

    Now, I am not short XOM for its current fundies, which the system is using. I am short XOM for its future outlook.

    Hence, The PPT is not just a computer program. It will be a newsletter/analytic engine, where human intervention, from all the tabbed bloggers, including myself, will read the tea leaves.

    Fuck XOM.

    Agreed.

    The other 50% is picking the right direction in the first place.

    Dollar up huge today, and yet so is USO. I wouldn’t take this as a good sign for the earl earl-sines.

    Just sayin’

    Jake my good internet friend:

    You are rationalizing the fucked state of oil. It crashed through the floor boards yesterday and here you are praising it today.

    What gives?

    I don’t care if oil is at $35 or $45. I am not short oil directly. My point is: the underlying stocks are fucked. The bomb has already detonated; now those fuckers need to survive the nuclear winter.

    Let me say, with absolutely no offense intended to any Houstonians, that Houston is a disturbing hellhole of doom. Having spent part of my rowdy youth there, I can say the titty bars were good, the Harris County Correctional system is not recommended, and scrubbing tar balls off your body with pine sol after a day at the “beach” is not a cherished memory.

    PS – never marry a cheerleader, especially a southern one.

    Thunderpup, definitely agree with you regarding Houston. Never lived there, however, had a distribution center down there that I spent some time at. Horrible weather, hot and HUMID, bugs, terrible traffic, lots of crime, lots of fat people and with oil crashing that place is going to be a hell hole for the next several years. Big housing price decline will be coming there.
