Get Ready to Buy Fortress Stocks

While it’s true, the market is in the process of skinning people who are long stocks alive, such as hideously ugly folks like Don Luskin and Zachary Karabell; at some point, one might want to get long stocks with large net cash per share ratios.

Within financials, it’s incredibly hard to discern what’s real and what’s not, since they are all lying cocksucking ham and eggers. Nonetheless, there are a few worth exploring.

In addition, while the economy is in rapid descent, it’s hard to forecast how much cash will be left on company balance sheets, since it’s entirely possible that such said companies may start bleeding out losses.

Nevertheless, I have compiled a list, broken down by sectors, courtesy of The PPT of course, for you—the internet schmuck—to peruse.

    Could the bottom be in ? Asshat Ben Stein was preaching staying the course and investing for the long term as the market collapsed last year. Now he’s advocating to stay in cash. We must be near the bottom.

    does anyone want to touch JPM here? i think this is setting up like fly’s call on C a few weeks/months ago. the govt can’t continue to allow even the common stock to just get wiped out. if they govt comes up with a new plan, it seems that JPM would be the best of the big banks to get long.

    if the govt starts buying these bad assets, how dillutive do we think that would be?

    People keep talking about bank nationalizations. Haven’t they basically done that though. The Feds tell Citi to downsize and they’re doing it.

    The RBS nationalization was different in the sense that it resembled the Wachovia takeover, RBS basically wrote off its capital and the UK had to step in.

    I expect to see some bottom fishing here for a few financials, but I still think it is a dangerous game. I agree with Fly, the people running these banks are lying cocksuckers. We are just starting to see behind the curtain, and all of you can thank short sellers like me. There are more skeletons in the closet. C goes the way of AIG. BAC is next. Even the so called best bank, GS is going to feel more pain. WFC and JPM are next in line. Wachovia and WAMU were shit and they are just starting to figure out that there was so much shit there they may not be able to swallow it all.
    The Messiah and his team will kill capitalism, as they will not allow failure. They will come in and take the bad debt and take common equity in the banks and wipe out the shareholders.
    So go fishing like j did today.
    Thanks j for being on the other side of my trade on GS. Buy some more as I short that bitch down to 40

    Believe me, the size of today’s trade wasn’t that big. My view is 5-10 years on these two and my views are different to yours in the sense that i think that if there are two firms that will change to face of banking it will be these two… of course over a long period of time.

    I covered my dollar shorts last night after I heard the Chosen one’s speech. What threw me off was his comment that Americans consume too much. Si i guess the recession must be a good thing? The chosen one is a fucking idiot.

    So we have Europe that looks like shit, the UK broke and a new prez that doesn’t like consumption.

    I thought his speech was very anti-commerce by the way.

    I really don’t know how to express that as a currency trade and could be why one of the reasons the Dollar is backing up today.

    I’m thinking that gold could be the play, however the problem with gold is frankly no one is able to buy it if the economies are up shit creek.

    Maybe buy some gold for a trade up and get the fuck out quickly.

    May I suggest, either:

    “Warm and moist”:

    San Diego, late spring long-range fishing (minimum 5-7 day trip) tell the owner John, that Damon sent you and ask for a discount:

    http://www.qualifier105.com/

    “Cool and wet”:

    Southeast Alaska 3-5 day trip in mid-August:

    Tell the owner, Dave, that Damon sent you (and ask for a discount):

    http://www.sheltercovelodge.com/

    Y’all can thank me later for the fucking fishing trip of your lifetime.

    You have to go with the trend on the buck but really watch what’s happening on the US side of the pond with the new guys.

    So the trend is for the stronger dollar against the Euro and the Pound.

    The Yen is a trading range but could be a profitable one. Buy dollar yen when it gets down to 85-87 and sell it at 90 ish.

    I think the BOJ will protect you and help you make money with the possibility of intervention.

The big oils report next week and if they shit the bed or have shitty guidance then its going to get scary. A lot of institutional money is in XOM and the other oils. When they start to get scared and look for cover elsewhere it may get ugly

    You know the currency that looks like it could head off a cliff, Moe , is the Aussie. It looks like shit down here. Aussie is hard to trade at times, however it really looks like is could head quite a bit lower.

    I sold it at around here .6560 and think we could try 63 cents again. It’s a risky trade and there’s no reason to devote a lot of capital to the trade. I have a 6583 stop loss.

    More about Hyena sex;

    http://www.livescience.com/animals/060426_hyena_cubs.html

    ‘Imagine giving birth through a penis’

    But providing the extra hormones takes a toll on the mother. The dose of androgen that she received from her own alpha mother damages her ovaries, making it difficult to conceive.

    It also causes female reproductive organs to grow. A lot. Her clitoris, which contains the birthing canal, protrudes 7 inches from her body. YIKES

    “Imagine giving birth through a penis,” said study co-author Kay Holekamp of Michigan State University. “It’s really weird genitalia, but it seems to work. Although giving birth through a ‘penis’ isn’t a trivial problem.”

    The clitoris’ birth canal is only an inch in diameter, and the tissue often tears as a 2-pound cub squeezes through the narrow opening. The rip can be fatal, as evidenced by the high death rate for first-time mothers.

    Well of course fly, started it by suggesting just out of the blue and without any provocation whatsoever that Devildog’s mother has a penis.

    Of course, fly was only being cryptic here. As we all know the Dog is the devil’s own he was spawned from a jackal or hyena, hence how we got to discussing a hyena’s clit.

    Fly mentions schmuck in his post and most of the comments are about penises and animal sex.
    Go figure.

    IBM and NTRS Madoff’ed their quarters. I was hoping for a master flush during the first hour, but now those freaks have muddied things up.

    Say this about the Messiah — he sure has one cute family. His wife’s not half bad, and his kids are tv-quality cute. I thought that one (brunette) Bush daughter was a hottie, but these two are gonna be American Princesses, I predict.

    Too bad about their Pops being a socialist and all.

    On the Whitehouse.gov site, is that James Earl Jones in the factory picture?

    When the Prez and his wife took to Pennsylvania Ave. on foot (out of the limo) I would have liked to seen what the two kids said and did when they were in the limo by themselves.

    ASH wasn’t actually flush with ANY cash at the time of this post.

    It was loaded up with debt that was a multiple of its market cap.

    All of the financials for ASH shown by all of the sites (google, yahoo, thestreet, etc.) all showed it as having this huge cash reserve, but that was in fact past-tense, as they had already closed the Hercules deal.

    Dang, dang, dang I miss the days when sitting down and figuring out a companies fundamentals meant you may be buying a stock that could multiply, not just go up 20%
