BADA BING

I didn’t want to get long egregious amounts of stock; but I had to. My hand was forced by that fucking asshat Ken Lewis, CEO, Bank of America.

Granted, prior to the report that he bought 200,000 shares in the open market, “The Fly” was nibbling on select equities. However, after I was informed of that news, I bought millions worth of a variety of names, namely ABB, FAS, PFG and UYM.

In addition, I hedged out the remainder of my SRS position, going long URE.

I am still short oil, via ERY and DUG. I am prepared to buy them both lower. It really is a negligible pair of positions, in comparison to my new longs.

Bottom line: I am 50% long, 10% short and 40% cash. My neighbors are members of the Italian mafia and I am so fucking sick of this bastard of a market.

Nonetheless, I ended the day higher, thanks in large part to my Godly buys. I’ll have you know, the losses in my shorts were and are entirely meaningless. I will also have you know, I intend on making Donkey Kong coin in EEV, SRS, ERY and DUG, in due time.

NOTE: God willing, I will get the opportunity to buy back FAZ in the low $40’s. God willing.

    so Lewis buys 200K of stock – is not it like 1.2 million dollars? – and the market goes higher? What is 1.2M to him? We forgot how WB CEO bought 1Million shares at 16 dollars – thats 16 million dollars – just to sell the company at whatever – 5 or 6 dollars.

    This is the Raptor speaking:

    Gentlemen,
    it’s a new year and I see you’re all here again on this fine site. 2009 will be an incredibly awesome year in terms of volatility and, let’s not forget, we all get to FEEL deflationary. I’ve heard it’s like watching paint dry…

    Anyway, I’ve done absolutely nothing so far. Well, not true: I’m down 0,2% YTD. I naturally plan on making north of 40% as I did last year. Just watch. My clients would want me to.

    First order of business in Q1: buying truck-loads of Norwegian Kroner (NOK), mostly via options. I will probably buy VIX also, whenever that SOB trades below 40.

    I wish you a profitable 2009. Have a pleasant evening.

    I’m Glad I covered some of my GS shorts at 65. cost basis was 82 so I had a nice gain. Got my ass kicked with SRS but since I bought it at the beginning of the month at 50 it did not hurt that much. There was huge short covering today especially in the banks. They are still in trouble. A one day rally does not change that. Lewis buying stocks shows that he knows that the govt will keep pouring money his way.

    Kevon Horst, 19, landed his first job over the summer in the booming West Texas oilfields when crude was selling for about $140 a barrel. Horst and about 20 others working a rig near Canadian, about 40 miles from the Oklahoma line, were laid off recently. Gone are his $2,000-a-week job and his apartment.

    He and his girlfriend moved in with her mother, and he is struggling to keep up with the $500-a-month payments on his new truck.

    “I’m in a bind with it,” Horst said. “No one’s hiring now.”

    The bears still have the bulls, as today there was huge short covering. Hell I even covered and took some money off the table. There would have to be a lot more volume for me to believe in this rally. Check out the difference in todays volume in the last hour and yesterday’s in the last hour. I do admit it was a strong move off of 804 for the s&P though

    T Moe look at the volume on 10/10 and 11/20…. step back from the hourly charts and look at the dailies… as the price was coming down to the lows on 11/20 the selling dried up.

    Note that the market closed back inside the range of 10/10. SPY expecting it to trade back up to 01/06.

    Banks are dieing because of the decline in the value of their assets as well as defaults in securities. I cant wait for these banks to end the bullshit drop their stocks to a dollar while I making dump trucks of loot on inverse etfs.

    No doubt, you will bank coin in those names. I bought small amounts of all of them today—on a hunch we close down big by Friday’s close. It’s purely for entertainment purposes only.

    Upon review of my charts, I have determined that we are making an inverse head and shoulders on the daily and weeklies of the Dow and S&P. Provided we don’t drop 500 Dow points tomorrow, long here is a very sensible move. I will still short BAC here and onwards and double up every $1 move higher. Long BGU and TNA as a hedge.

    If you are holding 20k of SRS, SKF, EEV, FAZ
    Also 5k of C

    Do I have to sit or should I just sell out at a small lose early in the am ? All of this rally bs really doesnt make sense to me. I cant believe for one second that we are going to go green in a big way the rest of the week.
