Get in the Deflationary Vortex

All of you fried rice loving meatloaf throwers are not only wrong when it comes to reflation and growth in Asia; you’re exactly wrong.

See, good Sir, the money that is being created or printed is being thrown into a deflationary vortex, mind you. The destruction of capital, worldwide, far outweighs the bullshit trillion dollar stimulus package.

And, I hear many of you discuss the virtues of Chinese banking institutions. As a point in fact, you praise the Asian lenders for being smart and not having fucked up balance sheets. Well, I have news for you again, good Sir, Asian banks, particularly Chinese ones, are fucked on a spindle.

The decline in property values is rapidly accelerating in Asia, indeed. Furthermore, the nonsense capital ratios you read of, regarding Chinese banks, is all fiction. Wait until the Western dollars file out of China, then tell me how self sustainable their bullshit economy is, with their low standards of living, coupled with industry after industry being sustained by government incentives aka life support.

To bet against Asia and their currencies, I like EEV.

Look, I’m not here to throw acid in your face. “The Fly” is all about sharing the wealth of ideas, while kicking old men (47.5 and older) down shockingly big storm drains.

Hell, I make lots of mistakes. Just this morning, after giving a big huffy puffy chested lecture about “staying on the sidelines,” I went out, like an imbecile, and bought PFG a buck higher than where it is now. I deserve the loss and more.

It’s hard sitting on 90% cash. You have to be a special type of animal to just box watch and do nothing. If the weather was warmer, I could go swimming or go for a jog. But, NYC weather is like a fucking Siberian wasteland in the winter. I’m trapped and have no choice but to invest.

As for the markets:

I warned you about “Getting in the Funnel.” Some of you heeded my dire warnings, while most of you laughed, did a few lines of low grade blow, then bought USB on Guy Adami’s rec. Now, I am warning you about entering “The Deflationary Vortex.” You can do so at your own volition. However, just know, “The Fly” is never wrong for a period longer than 3 weeks. Furthermore, the dollar will punch your lights out, should you choose to sell it short.

Finally, I want to sell short all oil stocks, going into earnings. To do this, I have opted to short cut it by staying long DUG and ERY. However, at the moment, all of my positions are light.

I still have a 90% cash position, so you know.

    I’d really love to see XOM at 78, but it might not make it that high. The XOM short is probably the most high probability short in the market today. That XOM will print 65 in the next 2 weeks is a certainty.

    Couldn’t resist. Added another 500 shares to my XOM at 76.80. If we tap 78, another 500 and then I’m done adding. 2500 shares total. This is by far my highest conviction trade. I will cover half at 65 and the rest at 60. This is goose is cooked. Can’t wait til earnings.

    As I said before, the parasitic relationship between America and China is like we’re their parents and the giddy little Chinese fuckers are sitting two inches from the television, legs crossed, on a warm smoggy day in Beijing. They’re about to save the princess, dog, zombie, rat, or whatever the fuck animal the New Year is in the name of, and just as their sweaty industry-hardened fingers are going to tap the last button to win we, America, rip the fucking plug out of the outlet. Get the fuck out of here. Then we throw the video game machine in the dishwasher. Heavy rinse. Enjoy.

    Donny thinks FAS is a double at these prices, and it ain’t gonna take a lot of momentum or time to accomplish it.

    Donny thinks he pockets 80 grand by the end of next week.

    However, Donny is not stupid like some of the other FuckFaces in this venue. He has place a stop order to protect his $80,000 flip.

    sold MEE @ daytrade target of $14, easy pickings. Afternoon outlook, it pulls back to $13.70, I buy it again, it sells at $14.50 before end of day. The world, in particular USA, needs it’s energy jones catered to. Hate oil if you want to, and laugh at spicy solar burritos/fart-powered wind machines at your leisure. That leaves nuke and hydro (yawn), and coal. Buy coal with impunity and take profits.

    There are 10 times more male names, masculine type names, gender-neutral names in the posts every day than just one female name. Why arent there ads on ‘devil, dog, guns,football, stocks,viagra, and male related ads? where are these ads?

    It is some other reason that ad keeps running… one name out of dozens and dozens of opposite names is not enough to make that ad run constantly every minute of the day.

    Fly, here is a suggestion for the next software update on the blog…it would be really cool if there was some sort of picture upload box to click and upload pictures that one could click the “photo” icon and upload a picture, then if anyone wanted to see the picture they can, as they read that particular blog box, click on the photo icon and see it in a new window…..or something similar.

    This would be internal and eliminate the need for one to post an external picture thru photobucket or another website.
