I Found Something!

Oil is selling off here, despite a weak dollar and battered treasuries. Maybe it’s a little profit taking, maybe not. Either way, I am very much interested in betting against the pig called XOM, at these levels, via DUG.

Also, it’s worth noting, I have hardly any upside hedges right now. Early this morning I had more than 50% long. However, watching today’s tape, witnessing one sector after another go down, I opted to take on some risk here, by going net short.

At the present, I am 45% short, 5% long and 50% cash. It’s an egregious mix, one that can get me in a bit of trouble. However, I am pretty good at catching inflection points.

Gosh darnit, I think I found one right now.

NOTE: I will not be adding to any of my short position, throughout the day. Before I do that, I want to see Doe 8,000 breached, on a closing basis.

    People should avoid the inverse ETFs, just short an equity if you feel so inclined.

    For the first time this year, I find myself on the opposite side of a trade with The Fly. Given my name, which has been earned from years of fucking up, y’all might want to go short here.
    I’m long balls to the wall.

    This is end of month window dressing. That Triangle in the SPY that Chart Addict said might happen [ if it comes true it will be a large move up or down]. So wait until it pops and go its direction. If you trade until then you are trading the Bermuda Triangle Fucks.

    if you donot post your live portfolio then it all becomes smoke and mirrors for you to post stupid f*cking “smart” posts, attract idiots who will try to follow you and will most certainly loose money while you are selling fat stomach commercials.
