Slippage

There is poetry and symbolism being represented in stocks today, despite the grand party in Washington. While millions of hapless dogs celebrate one man in D.C., millions of fucktarded, dick faced bullshitters are having their portfolios microwaved today, as banks march to zero.

From STT to AIB to BAC to C to WFC to JPM, times are tough for the optimistic type.

I know many of you assholes were convinced that God himself would not allow such a trading day, while President Barack the Builder celebrated like it was 1999 in Washington. Forcefully, you left messages on “The Fly’s” blog, pertaining to the bullish nature of stocks and pointed out that a new bull market was upon us.

You told your friends and family members to buy mutual funds and dastardly bank stocks, due to the inherent belief that our Federal Government could make things better with a snap of the hand.

However, as your face gets melted off by Chinese roman candles, you now realize the error in your ways. You want to apologize to your friends and family. You want to beg forgiveness to “The Fly” for being such a blockheaded dick; but it’s too late.

“The Fly” does not accept your apology. Instead, he will chuckle at you, while large capital losses sack the entirety of your bullshit internet brokerage account.

There is an old saying that can be applied to such arduous times. It goes: “The Fly wins all the time, even when he appears to be losing badly.”

Most ignore such sayings, and discard them as “urban legend or fantasy.” However, for the select few, the chosen ones, those words are golden and quite useful, especially when it comes to the business of buying new cars or other important shit, from the proceeds of egregious stock market gains.

As for the market:

I sold the rest of my FAZ, north of $75. My cash position is now 92%. Barring some sort of miracle, I will sit out the rest of the trading day, while eating sandwiches. In other words, I do not trust this tape and want no part of it.

Sometime soon, I will sell all of my shorts, which include EEV, SRS, and REW. And, furthermore, I may initiate a new short position in XOM, just for old times.

    I have listened to the Flea man, I have learned, and now I have won. Thankyou Mr. Fly… I too am sitting on at least 95% cash after following your lead out of FAZ, I too am up 11% year to date. Not to gloat, but I laugh at dim witted Bulls everywhere….

    I got my vengeance for the Steelers winning and the Eagles losing by PNC going down 50% from when I bought puts. PNC bank execs probably were riding around on motorcycles without helmets. Seems to be a popular thing to do there.

    Fly,

    You might not want to sit this one out.

    Signorelli Fibonacci just called me, and pointed out that his near term SPY charts (low 11/21 @$74.34 to high on 1/6/09 @ $94.45) show the 61.8% retrace (ie, the strong line, or “the golden number”) at $82.03.

    Low of the day, thus far $82.10.

    Could get a significant Obamabounce here.

    Or ovah heah.

    I’m making money but I’m not happy at all. The market is telling us that we’re supremely fucked.
    Banks WILL be nationalized.
    Capital will now be allocated by civil servants (shudder at the thought).
    Earnings multiples will come down accordingly.

  41. The Magic One said for you people to get to work. Did you think that he was Merlin? One of the first projects is a bicycle path on Fly’s street so Fly will be able to commute and save carbon at the same time. Kim Jong IL was never as over exposed as this Obama character.

    So what odds do you give they stretch these two days into a four day weekend at some point?

    You know, Martin’s Day, then Messiah’s (Inauguration) Day?

    Prolly turn it into a “furlough day.”
